Amazing well priced lamb shank which was half the price and double the flavour of the restaurant down the road

  Wow how rude! - 2 ladies of a certain age, saved up for xmas shopping weekend. When the walked in for a lunchtime drink to be told ‘fully booked - no tables’, ‘but we... read more just want a Prosecco?’ well there’s nowhere to stand and you cant get in the way!’ ..we must have looked askance as she then said ‘if you don't like it then go somewhere else’

Now we are in the Pitcher and Piano which to be honest is more our style

  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.

  Stopped at Winchester on a drive back to London from Dorset & decided to have lunch after a walk & popped into Crown&Anchor, a busy bustling pub, staff were friendly,... read more good menu with lots of veggie vegan options for me, food was quick & good quality for a good price

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

  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.

  Went at beginning of December for a pre-Christmas meal with friends. We all ate off the Christmas menu, three having turkey and two fish. All the meals were generous portions... read more and well cooked and tasty, of course. But the real gem is the staff.

  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!

  A fantastic, friendly and welcoming pub where after just one visit whilst holidaying, the supervisor was already remembering our drinks order. An excellent and much appreciated experience when visiting an... read more obviously popular and busy establishment.
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
So, if you’re looking for great food, a good range of ales, beers and spirits, all at good prices in a warm and friendly environment then you don’t have to look much further than the Crown & Anchor
