Queen Inn Pub in Winchester

The pub doesn't look like anything special on the outside, but don't fooled because it is so special on the inside. After a long walk we were ready for a rest and refreshments. There are benches at the front where you can enjoy food and drink, and an area around the side with a covered marquee, but we chose to sit inside. Superb food, we opted for the game and vegetarian pie, the chocolate brownie was the best we have ever tasted and the spiced apple crumble with custard. The staff are friendly and very attentive. Bathroom very clean and inviting. Interior is very warm and inviting with the real fire lit. We were so comfortable there we ended saying for a few extra hours, and enjoyed an extra dessert, shared a slice of chocolate cake which was located on the bar. We had such a lovely experience, we highly recommend this pub.

Beautiful food, very good service and attentive staff. We are regulars at this pub and can’t fault it at all.

Really good service and the selection of Sunday roasts were really good . I had the roast beef which was first class lots of beautifully cooked beef with the nicest roast potatoes parsnips geeens, carrots roasted beetroot which was delicious and a big Yorkshire pudding. It was absolutely delicious the others on the group had the roast lamb and they also said it was amazing and plentiful . Sadly no room for dessert but can highly recommend for the Sunday roast.

Good food, good beers and a warm welcome. Also spotlessly clean

We come every Thursday for a few drinks and sometimes eat, it’s a great pub with excellent service. Loads of tables outside with heaters and pretty of room inside. Special mention to Hannah who is always smiling and looks after us whenever we are there. One of the best pubs in Winchester!

The best real Pub in Winchester, great people, great food, fantastic beer. Thanks guys.

Fantastic community atmosphere and great pub garden with local events on all the time

Love the place will go Back Again

Excellent customer service, and I have to say the food was absolutely delicious. Had baby squid with chorizo and tomato bruschetta, all the flavours were well balanced without any powering the other which isn’t always easy to do when you involve chorizo. Closely followed by the burgers which were absolutely gorgeous. Lovely Staff very welcoming all in all a very enjoyable lunch.

Lovely pub in St Cross, a 5 minute walk from the Wykeham Arms, they even brew beer on their premises. The Breakfast Stout is wonderful.

Visited on a Saturday. Staff were friendly. There was some parking available on site - careful with street parking as some is limited to an hour. They have a great selection of beers on tap. The wood pigeon was nice - always good to try something different. Be about a fish is lovely nice crispy batter and served with a huge portion of chips. The lock fire was really nice as you can see from the photo of my dog they are dog friendly too, inside as well as the beer garden outside of course.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pubs has a really lovely atmosphere with a fire burning and nice decor. Good choice of dishes on the menu Our food was really tasty and the staff were very accommodating of our dietary requirements. Would definitely go again!

Really attentive service. Food was excellent and pub was great. (lots of heated outdoor areas too) dog friendly

My favourite Winchester pub. Always welcoming, nice locals, great food and beer, lovely outdoor space, regular events including annual beer festival... Well done Jen and team!

A lovely pub near Winchester College on the edge of the city ,A good pint of Abbott, although we didn't have any food it looked lovely and we will be back to try some

After walk along the Keats Footpath we were feeling a bit thirsty and saw this pub. Popped in and other tables food looked very appetising so took the plunge and were not disappointed! Lovely food and attentive staff - despite being December we could sit outside and did not need the heater at our table. Additionally, the pub brews ita own beer which I can recommend!

This was our first meal here and it was faultless! The beer was excellent, the service friendly and efficient and tge food well-cooked. Excellent and fresh ingredients and attentive service too. Next time we are I Wi Chester, we shall definitely return.

We had Xmas lunch at the Queen Inn yesterday. The whole thing was excellent. Beer very good, food high standard, lots of staff around and the whole team were very efficient and friendly.

Good pub good beer, good food and good outside area

Walked around the Winchester Xmas Market and fancied a beer on the way home so dropped into the Queens. Parked outside, busy at the bar, ordered 2 pints sat down and then looked at the menus and it said food served until 6pm. We asked to order food and were told they only had 3 Roast Beef dinners left so we had 2 of them. The roast beef was quite rare but very good. Roast parsnip, roast potatoes, carrots, beetroot, red cabbage, cheesy leeks, sausage meat and a very nice Yorkie Pudding. Finished the plate and decided to order a Banoffee Parfait. Would highly recommend and great service. They are also a MicroBrewery. It had a really good vibe about the place.

What a beautiful pub. The staff were lovely the atmosphere was perfect for a Sunday roast! The food was 10/10! Thank you

Nice. Burnt my head on a patio heater, whilst trying to hug it to warm up. Nice drinks. Helpful staff.

very pleasant & a great place to Relax.. John.

The family love going here! The lemonade is AMAZING and the burgers are tasty, we usually stop here after a bike ride, you must go here for the freshest lemonades! The chips are fresh and I recommend the cheesy chips, we have never had a problem here!

Nice place and good beer, food was a little expensive and the design of it didn’t work. But tasted good

Group of 10 old men had a very good lunch, served by friendly staff.

Awesome food and loads of gluten free options

We had drinks only hence score, great ales and jolly service. People having lots of Friday night fun

Didnt have food but the beer was excellent.

Nice little pub, good food and friendly staff. Very small car park!

Busy pub with a superb micro brewery attached.

A nice pub, Green King, but with a microbrewery attached, offering a nice selection of cask ale. A ten minute or so walk from the centre, but well worth it. We mistakenly first went to The Willow Tree, its sister pub, which only had one Queens ale on tap, the other two were Green King. About a half hour walk between the two if you make the same mistake. We didn't have food, but it looked good on other tables.

We were a party of 7, meeting up in Winchester. We pre booked our table for last Sunday. The staff were great, the food was amazing and really good value.

Excellent place to eat well presented brilliant staff

Halloumi red pepper tzatziki burger was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Genius recipe. Absolutely delicious.💖

Halloumi red pepper tzatziki burger was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Genius recipe. Absolutely delicious.

Fabulous visit. Came with our 2 dogs. Sunday lunch was excellent. Selection of ales was marvellous. All the staff were so friendly and polite. One member of staff - Jim, couldn’t do enough for us (or our dogs). I would highly recommend this pub for both drinks, food and the service received. Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

Excellent real ales with some from the cask and others brewed on site - a style for everyone plus a cask cider! Bar service is great as well.

We only had a drink, but it was an excellent pub. Nice outside patio area and friendly service.

After a glorious afternoon fishing, a quick bite to eat was needed. Lovely pub with great micro brewery. Friendly staff, quick service and good food. We will be back.

Many ales brewed onsite, plenty of local guests ales. Large and very nice beer garden!

Called in after a walk, lively but not too busy - enjoyed their microbrewery offerings!

It is a great pub with excellent ales and food

Lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. Unable to comment on food as not had the chance to eat here yet. Viewed the menus online and it looks delicious.

In St Cross neighborhood, close to the cathedral, but you CAN PARK! It's also a microbrewery and good food

Beautiful pub/restaurant in superb location, (with bus stop to head back to town only 4mins walk away).Has excellent garden at the rear. Real Ales and ciders to my liking. This is second time we have visited both on beautiful sunny days. Quen pub was last of 6 planned for our tour of historic pubs. One other to recommend is the Blackboys, you will be stounded by its interior.

We came as a group of 11 people (mix of toddler to adults) and a dog for Sunday lunch. Service was attentive, prompt and helpful. We asked if we could order food for our toddler and 4 year old even when the rest of the group have not arrived and this was kindly obliged by the staff. Food was excellent- portion was generous and everything was delicious. We had the roast beef and it was cooked to perfection. Even the kids’ fish and chips was a good size. Always our first choice when going out for a meal in Winchester.

This is a delightful place with a wonderful garden and great feel to it. The staff were friendly and the food was excellent. Highly recommended 👌

Stopped here last night before heading off on the South Downs Way today. Really friendly staff, tasty food, great portions. We had the ham, egg and chips and a burger. I also had their own Bitter which was delicious. We have a nervous dog so needed somewhere tucked away, they had plenty of space out the back. All undercover which was lucky since it was raining. Always nice to find a great pub and this ticked all the boxes!

Always a nice spot for a drink. Was there on a Saturday lunchtime and the menu looked good so thought I'd order a bite to eat too... dreadful decision. Really basic and flavourless ham and cheese sandwich (supermarket style) with fat and very undercooked chips. Also had a chicken skewer which was like no chicken I've ever seen before and came with a blue cheese dip that had presumably been recently unfrozen and microwaved, it had a very strange film on it. Absolutely disgusting and at £20, not exactly cheap and cheerful.

Stopped for a meal with friends and were greatly surprised with both the food and the service. The dishes were flavourful and well-prepared. The staff was attentive and friendly.

Lovely pub with it's own microbrewery. Once again great to find really friendly and attentive staff. Garden areas are more extensive than we'd realised, with plenty of space. As we'd seen previously, there are cabins and sheltered areas, several with heaters for the colder evenings. Food was tasty on each occasion we've been.

Had the duck leg absolutely amazing jenny and the team woek so hard and go above and beyond

Lovely little pub. Stopped by for a drink with my mate and my dog yesterday afternoon (12th June). The young boy working was so lovely. I didn’t catch his name but he offered us a water bowl for our dog and was super friendly towards us as we Saturday in the front garden. It made us feel really welcome. Great customer service from him. Thank you so much.🙂

First time,long wanted to..shall be back!

It's just a lovely pub especially in the sunshine

Peaceful place with a delicious local stout

First time for going here today and it was fantastic. We were made very welcome and so were our dogs, always a bonus. Food was a 10 out of 10 and made from fresh ingredients, amazing. Service brilliant, staff friendly and generally cared if you were enjoying yourself. Atmosphere lively, highly recommend this place. Price is reasonable and well worth it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great beer and food. Treats for the dog.

Had a wonderful lunch here today with my mum. The young man that served us was a credit to the pub. He was so helpful especially when asked for some extra requests and nothing was too much. The food was outstanding and great value for money. We could not fault our visit except it was very difficult to find somewhere to park but as it's Winchester this certainly isn't the pubs fault but do be aware.

Green King national beer pub of the Year- apparently

Great beers. What more do you want

not much of a menu , every pub serves the same old same food .for some reason this has won pub of the year, the locals must be easily pleased, not the best, would recommend walking past rather than in.

Lovely in the spring, it is best when the hotter weather is here ,lovely garden. Staff are very lovely too.

Excellent roast lamb on Sunday. Service was first class. So tasty food - lamb, potatoes, vegetables and homemade mint sauce. Recommended.

Have been a few times to the Queen Inn for work parties. Lovely outside sitting area. Only downside is the horrible smell of urine coming from the toilets

We found this pub while out driving it was brilliant

Great beer, brewed on site. Good atmosphere, great location.

Nica place to have a traditional Sunday meal

Lovely beers and great service. 😁

Really friendly and helpful staff. Attentive but not intrusive. Had lunch and the sandwiches were very good. Nice pub with both cosy indoor and outdoor seating. Recommended!!

Sunday Roast was reasonably priced. Portions were very good with lots of different vegetables to accompany the roast meat. The beef was cooked to perfection and the lamb tender. Expect to wait a little for food when they are busy-relax and have another delicious beer, brewed on the premises. Nice atmosphere, dog friendly and excellent service. Looks like it can get very busy. A real gem.

Used to be good value for monies and lovely food but since takeover it’s very overpriced and the food is sub par. I get that places change but it’s usually changes for the better

Great visit to the Qeen Inn for lunch, staff were very friendly and the service was very good, I would like to visit in the summer as outdoor seating looked good, and they brew their own beer with fermenter on view in the bar, will go back again

A lovely pub and microbrewery. Our son recommended it. A bit of a walk from town but well worth it. Good beers and ales and good food. We were in early for lunch so enjoyed a beer glad we were in early as soon all tables were taken for lunch.

Lovely outdoor area. Good place to stop for a refreshment.

Great food and an excellent range of beers.

Microbrewery pub..... Very much enjoyed their home brewed beers! And reasonably priced

Lovely staff, lovely food. We always go here with my nan and have never left hungry!

teally impressed with the ale and sarnie was splendid tasty moist bread

Superb place. Nicely managed. Been on a few occasions and the team have got it spot on every time. Friendly staff. Clean. Everything you could possibly want.

What a lovely pub, really relaxed and feels cosy but still with lots of room. Came with family for a farewell meal and the food was great. We had breads humous and olives to start and for mains Some had the burgers which looked delicious, some had kedgeree and again it looked really good and the rest had the roasts, beef or pork and some went for the regular size and some had a smaller size but both were plentiful and really filling and so delicious they even bought out extra veg at no extra charge. Everybody said how lovely the food was and it was a really lovely evening. Will definitely return.

Not been here for years but the changes are stunning with its own Brewery

Didn't try the food so I've not added a rating. Probably the best selection of real ales in the area. Top venue.

Came today with my friend baby and dog! What a lovely team so friendly welcoming with delicious food. Thanks so much we will definitely be back.

Went here on the weekend. Food was very shoddy and tasteless. My wife had problems with how cold it was served. The staff were looked so aloof and annoyed we didn’t really bother to get it changed. Atmosphere was nice, very quiet and relaxed. Wouldn’t come again though, expensive food not worth the price.

Good service, we were sat outside and staff regularly checked if we needed anymore drinks. Food was good, only complaint was the hummus had a foul taste.

They look after their ale. A very good point of bowman's from a keg

Really lovely pub off the beaten track a little but close enough to Winchester centre for it to be walkable. Lovely atmosphere and good selection of beer. Great garden, well equipped to deal with british weather with a marquee and heat lamps.

Good place, brewing its own beer with reasonable food. Very busy when we went.

Very nice pub. The Christmas meal was excellent. There was a good selection of lagers and ale

Our walking group has been coming to this pub for several years for our pre Christmas Lunch. This year there were 18 of us. We were asked to pre order which was fine. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food all came out together and in a timely fashion. The pub staff were very accommodating and didnt mind us paying individually. We all really enjoyed our lunch and will definitely be back next year

Love the QueenInn never fails to deliver. Excellent haddock beautifully crispy batter. Perfectly cooked fish!

We have been there many times, and usually service and food were great. Not today: we wanted lunch and when we asked if we could have the only indoor table that was not fully occupied - three workmen had spread out over two tables with their drinks - we were told "they can do what they like" by a member of staff. Needless to say we left. Never again.

Great place to spend a nice moment! The food was great, there is a vegetarian option. The staff was lovely and helpful (although as French travelers we may have had a little hard time catching the local accent! XD) The place is very tidy and the ambiance is cosy. I would definitely recommand!

Best real ale selection in Winchester. Friendly staff. Lots of outdoor seating with heaters. Food is good too. Proper pub.

Nice lunch and a pint after a stroll around Winchester, they brew some of the beer on site and tasted very good for the one I had. It's a small walk outside the main area but worth the walk. Open fire also.

Excellent Service. Didnt get his name but the Guy who served our table of x6 outside the front on Saturday 7th Oct p.m was excellent very accommodating friendly polite and good sense of humour. A real asset to the Queen Inn. Thoroughly recommend this place Great location.

Food is always excellent when we go. Would thoroughly recommend

Busy and vibrant when we arrived Bland watery and under cooked food! Shocking service! Waiter mumbling through his t-shirt pulled up over his mouth! No check backs from start to finish.
