Food and Drink Options

Hungry after a gig? The on-site FYR Restaurant & Grill offers locally sourced grilled meats and seafood in a live kitchen setting, with dining on the Al Fresco terrace. For something more casual, Parson’s Collar next door has home-cooked meals, a pizza oven, and even its own ice cream parlor. While 24/7 room service isn't listed, the variety of dining options and late-night pub atmosphere hit the spot. Breakfast is available the next morning—perfect for post-show recovery.

Nightlife Options

While you won’t find a club inside the hotel, Parson’s Collar pub offers a relaxed spot to grab a drink before or after your show. Thwaites beers and a cozy country-pub setting make it a great place to debrief after a concert. For something livelier, the nightlife of Portsmouth or Southampton is just a short drive away.

What People Say

Guests rave about the spotless rooms, friendly staff, and the tranquil spa facilities. Many mention how quiet the location is despite being near major cities, and the food consistently earns high marks. The hotel’s convenience to the motorway is a big plus for travelers heading to events.

Areas for Improvement

The spa and leisure facilities incur an additional cost, which might surprise some guests. Also, while the location is peaceful, it’s a bit remote if you’re not driving—so plan transport accordingly.

If you're heading to a show in Portsmouth or Southampton and want a relaxing, upscale place to recharge, the Solent Hotel and Spa delivers comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury.
