Hoxton Bakehouse Bishops Waltham in Winchester

A really great ‘proper pub’… really good food and drink, nice friendly atmosphere. Love it

First visit and the staff are so friendly and helpful and very professional and a great public house. Will be back.

A very comfortable branch of Nero's. A good place to settle down if you have some work to do, a book to read, or to chat with friends. Will definitely be back.

Unfortunately, The Bakers Arms in Winchester falls short of expectations. The beer selection is uninspiring, with a lack of variety and little effort to offer anything beyond the most basic options. If you're hoping for a decent pint or something unique, you’ll likely leave disappointed. However, the bigger issue is the overall atmosphere and customer service. There’s an unwelcoming feel to the place, with staff who seem disinterested at best and outright rude at worst. Rather than creating a warm, friendly environment, interactions often feel like you're inconveniencing them just by ordering a drink. It’s not the kind of place where you’d want to linger. With so many great pubs in Winchester, there’s little reason to return to The Bakers Arms. A pub should be about more than just serving drinks—it should offer a welcoming experience, and sadly, this one misses the mark.

Lovely pub! Interior is so rustic and pretty. We came here after an afternoon hike and the prices are average. Fish and chips was delicious and loved the tartar sauce and the mint mix in the peas!
