Spyglass & Kettle

You'll find yourself in Southbourne's most dependable neighbourhood spot—the kind of place where regulars actually know the bar staff's names. Spyglass & Kettle does the basics properly: real ales that rotate, a menu that doesn't pretend to be something it's not, and enough space that you're never fighting for a table. The crowd's mixed—families at lunch, after-work drinkers come 5pm, proper local atmosphere by evening. It's unpretentious enough that you can turn up in anything and fit right in.
