Victorian village pub, remodelled and extended in 2018 with new bedrooms and a dining room which provides a standard pub menu. The menu aims at the higher end for pub grub (for example with ‘Hampshire 36 Day Aged Côte de Boeuf’ or ‘King Scallop, Salt Pig Nduja & Saffron Risotto’) but more sceptical reporters see it as “good all-round but somewhat dialled in”.

“Your standard pub this is definitely not” – in fact it’s “quite likely one of the best places to eat in the Winchester area” – a “quintessential Victorian village pub” updated six years ago with a “large, modern dining area” offering a “monthly, small and very well considered menu” along with “excellent service”.

This “lovely pub with great rooms” just outside Winchester was transformed five years ago, giving the Georgian building a smart contemporary look with a solidly rated menu to match – plus a pizza option that operates through the summer months.

This “first-class” pub with rooms in a “nice location near Winchester” was renovated four years ago, so you have a choice of ambience “depending on whether you sit in the original 1780s pub rooms or in the new, Scandi-style extension”. Either way, the food is by most – if not quite all – accounts of “superb quality”.
