Great portions, great food, great staff, amazing atmosphere. Perfect for any occasion with a great smoking area, which is becoming much more of a rarity in modern pubs. 100% the best spot in Winchester.
Third meal we have had and everyone was lovely, staff nice and friendly , and the locals very welcoming, would highly recommend
Lovely pub, food great and staff very efficient. The only place we went where there wasn't a two hour wait for food

Lovely food, nice beer, friendly helpful staff and reasonably priced.
Had a wonderful Xmas dinner with all my family which was 10 adults and 7 children. The staff was great set up table lovely, food was great. Also had another Xmas dinner today with just my husband and 2 dogs. Once again it was lovely. Best pub that I have known always make you welcome. The landlady Sarah is really lovely and very hands on and hard working. Thankyou Sarah for my Xmas flower basket and making us welcome in Winchester.
The food is outstanding 😋 fresh beautifully cooked pipping hot and plentiful so very good value for money. The staff are very hard working and extremely pleasant and welcoming. Only wished we lived nearer to frequent the pub more. Twice a year but worth it. A massive THANK YOU to all the staff 😁
Friendly staff and a nice pint ... what more do you need from a pub
Always welcome here great atmosphere yesterday as the rugby was on. Food is always good and the staff are very friendly �
I have had the pleasure of eating here twice recently and thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere, service great, staff friendly and polite. can't fault any of it highly recommended.
At last I've found a Green King pub that keeps its ale at the correct temperature and was surprised to find their own menu as opposed to the standard that is in a great number of their establishments,the black pudding/bacon stack caught my eye and I wasn't disappointed it was wonderful...keep the good work up
Happened to walk past and saw a gluten free menu was advertised. They were very accommodating considering it was a Sunday.
Gluten and dairy free roast was available which is very rare to find. Tasted amazing. They even had gluten and dairy free desserts but unfortunately we were too full!
We will definitely be back again! Thank you so much.
Went in for a light lunch and received a warm welcome. We had both types of spring rolls, the small fish and chips and a fish finger sandwich. The chips were top notch and the sandwich much larger than expected and exceptional value as it had a small salad with balsamic glaze. Drinks fairly standard selection.
Friendly more friendly than most Greene King. Bitter was good. Shame about all the flags pronouncing their colours so to speak, no pub should be political, we don't need it who you support ie rainbows or certain countries around the world is your affair but don't wave it in my face....it can put some folk off.
5 stars! I was really impressed with this pub. Having celiac for 6 years this is the first ever pub I've been in which have a amazing gluten free menu. When I go out I always feel like I'm limited to my food and left out because everyone's got different food to me. It was a amazing feeling to go in here and have a wide range of options and eat the same thing as everyone else!. I will be recommending this pub and definitely going back. Cant wait to go back to try more of the food!
A classic English pub in the heart of Winchester. The host who runs the pub does so with great spirit and verve and really makes you feel welcome from the moment you step through the door. Food is delicious with an amazing choice of dishes including an incredible vegan menu (just turn the menu over if you're on the other side) full of plant-based classics. Vegan 'fish' (battered banana blossom) and chips absolutely delicious. Vegan pie of the week - which was lentil and mushroom - was also a really tasty winter warmer. Absolutely great food. Just make sure you reserve a table ahead of time; with the Winchester Christmas market absolutely packed and crowds in the city dozens of people were being turned away because there were no unreserved tables available. Thoroughly recommended.
The bar staff were lovely, the menu was limited being a Sunday. I had the mini duck spring rolls which was just the tasty lightness I was after. My friend's large vegan roast looked delicious! We were super lucky to beat the rush that arrived just after us. It was a really good spot to stop for food & drink on our way back to the carpark after a mooch around Winchester.
Great pub food at decent price. Good vegan menu too. And a lovely and professional Irish waitress. Plus our dog was welcome so a fantastic lunch all around
Unexpectedly luncheon. My friend had the beef and Stilton pie and said it was the best pie he had eaten in years. Sadly, the fish was frozen and not fresh. Not much fish. The potato wedges were delicious. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The lady on the bar was really lovely and made us very welcome. Pity the tables in the front were reserved, not that anyone had arrived when we left. Looking at people playing pool while we were eating was not that great. Place was clean and tidy as were the ladies bathroom.
I visited here for dinner twice with my lovely wife, who is coeliac. Almost all the menu was gluten free. Pies, scampi and lasagne, which are normally big no-no's for her, were all available on the menu. The food was tasty and only on the first evening were the peas cold.
The beer available on tap was great too, with their very own beer as a bonus.
Had a really lovely, huge roast pork dinner, with crackling here. It was piping hot and very well presented. Staff were very pleasant and polite, would certainly recommend.
