What a fantastic lunch we had today. 6 adults and a two year old... We all ate and my what fabulous food. Best food and service we have had whilst... read more we have been in Hampshire on holiday. Cannot fault a thing. If we lived nearer we would be there every night!

  Decided to come here for a birthday meal with family and it was fantastic. The lovely Scottish lady (sorry didn't catch her name) that served us was very friendly and... read more welcoming. The food was beautiful and enjoyed by all, couldn't fault it. Will definitely be returning soon.

  Called in here on the off chance of a Sunday roast for 6 of us.
We were served quickly at the bar and the food arrived promptly.
Very... read more tasty and excellent value for money.
Staff very friendly and accommodating, recommend a visit if you like a traditional pub.

  We visited the city without planning, and popped into the pub for a pint. We ended up staying for lunch. Great Sunday Roast, with some huge portions. Couldn't believe we... read more finished it! The pub was welcoming, despite the current restrictions in place, and the bar staff were really attentive.

  Fabulous pub. Food was great - I'm vegetarian and intolerant to gluten and some dairy so eating out can be a nightmare, but this pub was amazing. They have a... read more vegan menu with tons of choices - mix of fake meat and veg/lentil dishes - and nearly all the menu, normal and vegan, are gluten free! Found out someone in the chef's family is gluten intolerant so this makes sense! 1st time in ages I've had a meal out and not had a reaction after. AND a bonus, the staff are great - thanks to Tom and Amy for making it such a great xmas lunch. REALLY popular spot so definitely book.

  Great pub - Had a great time today! Called in on the off chance with 2 dogs. The staff were so lovely, really welcoming! Ordered a roast which was absolutely delicious! My husband... read more had a vegan pie which he says was the tastiest thing he’s eaten in ages! Great service, clean and good value.

  Sunday roast. - Small but always busy Greene King pub opposite the King Alfred statue. Sunday roasts are very popular.

  Best pub ive been in for a long time! - Looking for somewhere vegan friendly and found this. Best sausage and mash , and freshly prepared veg! Busy but good atmosphere and great staff. My daughter isnt vegan but ooved... read more it as much as I dod.

  What a fabulous find this was. We were visiting for a couple of days and thought we would give the pub a try and I'm glad we did. As soon... read more as we went in it felt like a relaxed place to have a drink and something to eat. The service was quick both for drink and food. The food was excellent and portions a generous size and even though busy the young lady serving took time to chat.
So good we went back on the Tuesday night for the pub quiz!

  We have to travel to Winchester once a year for work and found this gem of a pub last time we were there. Looked on the menu outside, but there... read more didn't seem much of a vegetarian offering, but my guest was happy with the one dish available, so we went in about 6pm. Greeted by a lovely lady with amazing blue hair and a big smile. She was happy to recommend one of their gins (honey) which I'd never had before an she very promptly brought our drinks to the table. Then she stayed and chatted for a while, which is always nice when you're not from the area.
When I mentioned that my dining companion was a vegetarian, she brought out a completely different 'vegan and vegetarian menu', which they really should advertise outside as we nearly went elsewhere when we thought there wasn't much veggie stuff on offer.
I had the lamb shank with seasonal veg and my friend had the Mediterranean bean pie, with chips and veg. Both meals looked and tasted AMAZING! and they were huge!!! There was no way we could have eaten a pudding, we only just managed to eat the main course and we consider ourselves to have quite big appetites.
Chef came out and had a chat too, we told him how nice is was to have decent fresh veg and very nicely cooked they were too. What a nice chap.
Can't fault the place, will definitely be back next time we are in Winchester.

  The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Food is superb! Portions are great, especially if you have a hearty appetite. The managers and staff were so accommodating. 17 of us... read more had meals and none of us were kept waiting!! HIGHLY recommend this place and will definitely be back when in the area again

  What a brilliant lunch, best roast in winch. Hot home cooked veg, very good portion roast pork and beef every one satisfied.

  When travelling from Scotland and looking for a relaxed place to eat we couldn't fault the Crown and Anchor. On arrival with our 2 dogs we were greeted by the... read more fantastic friendly staff who gave us a table with some space and promptly attended to the dogs with a bowl of water and a biscuit whilst we perused the menu, felt very spoiled for choice, everything is homemade by the talented chefs by also offering gluten free choices, I had a chicken and cider pie which was so huge I couldn't finish it but got to take the remainder away with us, my husband had steak and kidney pie which he devoured in minutes. Can't wait to go back on our next trip South and will go out of our way just to revisit here. Thanks Crown and Anchor

  Visited Winchester for the day Found the Crown & Anchor pub at the end of high street & went in for a drink & food. Had pie of... read more the day, lamb shank & chicken burger.
