Southampton’s stylish and contemporary Dockgate 4 Bar and Grill is located in the former ballroom of the South Western Hotel, at the entrance to the bustling Oxford Street area. Once entertaining passengers bound for the USA, including first-class passengers and officers of the Titanic, Dockgate 4 now revels in its historical and international influences.

While the architecture is of a past era, the interior design, food and wine offer a stylish and contemporary blend. Delicious Dining executive group chef Chris Rose (chef profile page 55) has created a modern British and European style that’s a blend of classic and grill-style brasserie dishes, sourcing from local suppliers wherever possible and always looking for the best in-season produce. Dockgate 4 is renowned for its superb fillet on a stone – a fantastic dining experience offering fillet steak served on a marble stone for you to cook to your liking. Open all day, Dockgate 4 is an ever-popular venue for parties and, with ‘happy hour’ from 5pm to 7pm from Monday to Thursday and from 5pm to 8pm on Friday, there’s always an excuse to celebrate.
