Lovely little stop off after a walk, bike ride or park trip to the common.

Absolutely wonderful breakfast, very peaceful inside and out and great value. Might just have to make this a weekly affair!

Great little place to stop for drinks and to eat after walking through the common. Food is excellent, chef Lou is obviously good at her job. Staff are friendly and the place is clean and tidy. Highly recommend.

I love the Hawthorns centre , unfortunately due to cut backs the centre inside is not as good as it once was but the outside walk is still as lovely. If you love nature take your time if its open and you will see the butterflies , dragonflies , newts , lizards and birds . The wild flowers in spring are wonderful . The cafe is great and in such a wonderful spot . We had a great lunch and coffee here and they serve great icecream with many flavours. It is worth a visit.

A fantastic gem in Southampton! The Hawthorns Urban Wildlife Centre is a wonderful place to escape into nature without leaving the city. The exhibits are informative, and the displays on local wildlife are both engaging and educational. The walking trails around the centre are well-maintained, and you can spot various local animals, including birds, insects, and small mammals. It's perfect for families and nature lovers alike. There’s also a small café with great refreshments, making it a lovely spot for a peaceful break. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Southampton!
