This was however totally surpassed by the service given when they discovered my partner has food allergies and the chef made a special beef and mushroom pie, just for her.
Top man and top supervisor for that level of service, thank you both

  We popped in here for a drink and a bite to eat as we had been out for the day and Winchester was on our way home. We received a... read more very warm welcome and seated straight away. We had our young baby with us and they were very accommodating. They warmed up his food and never at any point did we get the impression he wasn’t welcome (which sometimes in a pub setting on a Friday early evening you can feel a bit like they are glaring at you to get out) I had the lasagne and I have to say it was the best lasagne I’ve had from a pub.. EVER!! My husband had the lamb shank which also looked delicious!

Thank you so much for a proper pub grub dinner and a very warm welcome!
