A light-filled, welcoming pub in Park Gate
You’ll feel instantly at home in The Talisman, our handsome, stylishly-decorated pub restaurant near Southampton. We’re named after a variety of strawberries that once grew in the nearby fields – so you’ll find plenty of sweet, nature-inspired touches to our pub. If the weather’s fine, sip a pint of Badger Beer on our expansive outdoor terrace, decked out with olive trees. Or relax among the plants in our sun-drenched garden room all year round. Our lavish chandeliers and wine cellar bar area make us a memorable spot for a celebratory meal. Come along with friends, with your beloved dog, or with your family, for a comfortable visit at any time of day.
Our Menus
Here at The Talisman we take our food seriously, whether it’s a generously-portioned classic Sunday roast, a tempting light lunch, or a memorable evening meal for a special occasion. Our chefs work with seasonal ingredients to reinvigorate traditional pub food, offering familiar favourites alongside imaginative fine dining dishes. That means hand-cut chips, sumptuous specials, and luscious puds you won’t want to share.
Christmas at The Talisman
Make your yuletide extra merry by booking a festive meal with us. Our wonderfully cosy pub restaurant will be decked out for the season, while our menu serves up all your Christmas and New Year favourites.
Just make sure you book in advance, because tables will get snapped up faster than mince pies on Christmas Eve.
Our coffees
You’re guaranteed a decent brew at The Talisman, because we take making coffee just as seriously as we take pouring the perfect pint. Our ‘Rocket Espresso’ is an 100% Arabica blend from our friends at Extract Coffee Roasters, who work with a co-operative project benefiting families in Peru. It’s delicious as well as ethical, with a natural sweetness complemented by full-bodied notes of chocolate and caramel.
Our Beers
Drink in the taste of the Dorset countryside by sampling our Badger beers, which were first brewed by local farmer Charles Hall in 1777. Created from hops, malted barley, and pure spring water that’s naturally filtered through the chalk downs of Dorset, they’re a firm favourite. At The Talisman, we offer a full, distinctive and delicious range, including our new Outland beers, which are imaginatively flavoured, and far from ordinary.
