About The Parsons Collar
A stone-floored pub with a garden next to the Solent Hotel on the edge of Whiteley, owned by the hotel and Thwaites. It serves Thwaites cask ales and a casual menu of pizza from its oven, burgers and sharing plates. Freelance Mum uses it as the base for its Southampton-area netwalk.
