The Dell is an open-daily food and drinks venue that honours the club's history with retro shirts, images of historic match days and beer mats with a nod to favourite players and past glories. 

The venue, named after Southampton FC's beloved former ground and opened in December, also boasts shuffleboard, darts and live sport.

Packed to the rafters with around 300 pre-booked fans at a time on matchdays, there's plenty to enjoy even when the team aren't in action with quiz nights, open mic events, and plenty of special deals on food and drink, plus themed celebrations. 

General manager Anton Hajek told the Daily Echo: "I see The Dell as a place for fans, families, and even furry friends to enjoy. The Dell is for everyone, it truly is your home at our home. 

"Not only is it a buzzing atmosphere on a match day but you can get an incredible experience whatever day you decide to visit.

"From darts to open mic nights, from quizzes to music bingo, from breakfast to dinner we have something for everyone to enjoy. 

"We aim to support the local suppliers and use the best that Hampshire has to offer. I strive to get to one of Hampshire’s best pubs through what we do best, great food, incredible hospitality, a vast range of drinks and a big warm welcome."

Burgers, steaks and Sunday roasts are proving particularly popular with match day meals including a signature burger, fish and chips and sausage and mash.
