Bucks Head in Winchester

I booked a room at this hotel through Agoda. Big, big mistake. Avoid that site like the plague. They have all the tricks in the trade to avoid you communicating with them. I needed to cancel the booking because I found that the hotel was much further from my destination than I had realised. Tried through Agoda. no chance. So tried to phone hotel. First time after three long attempts a waitress answered and said she couldn't cancel a booking but the owner will be back in 2 hours, She will give him a message. He didn't phone back. Next day, I tried to phone them three times. Each call timed out. I am 84 and use hotels frequently, usually 3 star or above at least 10 - 15 times each and every year since I was 20. The place is clearly a pub / restaurant which runs a few rooms B&B on the side - very unprofessionally have never experienced this degree of non-contact ability.

Lovely pub in nice village setting. Really Lovely walks nearby. Plenty of seating and food quite nice.

13 friends and family met up to remember a lovely lady who died 11 years ago. We were going to one of her favourite places The Snowdrops at Warnford and had booked the Bucks Head for lunch. We all had a lovely lunch with great food and service. Our waitress was Calypso who was ably assisted by what seemed like lots of young men in grey jackets. We will be back.

Very tasty wood fire Pizza for eat in the pub garden or takeaway (there is also normal pub food menu). Staff struggling a little a busy times but that is expected as they are doing table service outside in accordance with current Covid restrictions. Nevertheless we were made to feel welcome and thoroughly enjoyed our food, would highly recommend.

Visitamos para almorzar en familia hoy y esta fue nuestra primera visita aquí. La comida estuvo muy buena. Teníamos asados y pizzas y todos eran de muy alta calidad y frescos. El servicio también fue amable. Desafortunadamente, nuestro postre (masa para galletas) estaba demasiado cocido y era más como una galleta y un helado, pero el que no estaba demasiado cocido estaba delicioso. Ese fue el único inconveniente menor, pero el resto de la experiencia fue realmente agradable. Definitivamente regresaría.
