Fantastic veggie options. I had the vegan burger which was delicious. My party all thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Lovely and attentive service! Will certainly be visiting again!

  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.

Staff very friendly and accommodating, recommend a visit if you like a traditional pub.

  Three of us visited on a Thursday lunchtime, this was on the recommendation of a relative who lives in the area. Shown to a table fairly quickly and given menus... read more once we decided what to eat, trying to catch the eye of staff we were ignored for fifteen minutes so we just had to walk out. I also noted a couple on the table next to us ordered alcoholic drinks and the young waitress told them she wasn't allowed to pour drinks and would have to wait for another member of staff to pour them,the couple were still waiting for their drinks when we left. My relative was embarrassed for recommending the pub,can only assume the place was understaffed!

  Fantastic place - a real amazing find at the end of the high st.
We popped in for a drink & had vegetable soup Devine.

Covid safe & clean.

  There's some quirky and fun decor in this bar, but what I loved most was that it seemed to be used by locals as well as tourists beating the Winchester... read more path. Pleasant stop-off points for a drink and the staff were welcoming.

  Without being able to comment on the food, we dropped in for coffee. The service was unwelcoming and with mixed messages about either having to download an app to order... read more or speak to one of the uninterested staff. Prices for coffees were high, nice view of the quay notwithstanding; sugar came as a cube on the coffee spoon which had spilt and turned it into a syrupy mess in the saucer. Not a great impression - frankly we felt our presence for just drinks was viewed as an inconvenience.

  Visited this pub a couple of weeks ago friendly staff and I have to say food was absolutely cooked to perfection and the best food I've had in a pub... read more in years top marks to the kitchen and chefs will definitely visit again when we come over to Winchester

  Went here for lunch and ordered from main menu. It is on the Meerkat Meals offer which is why we thought we'd try it.

Great food, good portion sizes,... read more friendly staff and a cosy, comfortable atmosphere.

Vegan burger was great, not dry like some are! Apparently the chicken pie was fantastic, the best my mum had ever had apparently.

It was great value as we had 2 for 1 but even without the offer it would have been great value for money.

Totally recommended. Will definitely be back.

  we thought we would go back a year to the date and was very disappointed
we know the views by the river was great which can only think why people... read more pick this place
it took nearly one hour to book in because there was one in front but they said they gave us the best room so ok, but there was mould around the bath and later found the shower could but be change so was so hot could not stand under it . there was a phone in there but was full of dust and they forgot to tell us about the generator on 24/7 so could not open windows at night
the restaurant windows was full of spider on very one so not cleaned then one of our meals was not eatable and with 2 beers would have cost 75 pounds just evening meal lucky we had a deal or would been 170 just evening meals , on the bright side the staff were very good
would not return again , phil worthing

  Saturday afternoon lunch. Googled decent food and this came up. Myself, wife and daughter - fairly busy, International Rugby on, Italy v Scotland. Nice table close to window overlooking main... read more street. Waited only 5 minutes before nice lad took our order and a jug of iced water. A choice of board games was in the corner on a shelf so we played Pop Quiz whilst waiting for our food. Only 10 minute wait - my gammon, eggs, chips and onion rings as an extra was lovely - my daughter ate all her 3 sausages and mash with peas, parsnips and carrots and my wife enjoyed her sandwich with soup. The onion rings were really nice and crispy so we ordered more. Not a morsel was left on any of our plates. Would thoroughly recommend.
A lady on the next table had ordered a meal not knowing there was meat in it until the waiter mentioned - it was changed immediately - no problem whatsoever.

£30.50 thank you very much. Will see you again if my daughter signs for Winchester Uni!!
