The Anvil Cafe in Winchester

Lovely pub, great atmosphere. Really welcoming and friendly. Nice to be able to take the dogs in, the food was Devine and thoroughly enjoyed it. We went on Saturday and went back for Sunday lunch because we loved the food so much. Highly recommend

My wife and I found ourselves at the Cricketers Inn having tried a couple of closer pubs which had stopped serving food at 3pm (totally understandable but we had a lot on and we're running late and hungry!). We're glad we did. We received a warm welcome and a great lunch. 2 courses and some drinks came to just under £50 which I'm not going complain about. The food came out nice and quick, fresh and roasting hot. It was delicious, hats off to the chef. My wife had a chicken burger and I had a stir fry, both went down well. I'd recommend a visit, I'm a little disappointed that we didn't have the kids with us as the play area looked like it would have kept them occupied! Well done.

Stopped in on a dog walk for a quick drink mid afternoon on a weekday. Ordered a lime and soda at the bar. The not so friendly bar staff asked for £9. A little taken back l confirmed l ordered a soda and lime to which l was told yes £9 as they don’t have soda water on tap. I literally was shell shocked at the price. Another member of staff walked by and the bar staff asked to confirm the price. They responded with just charge for a cordial. Was then asked for £4.50. Left rather taken a back. Went to the pub across the road with friendly staff and paid £1.40. I dread to imagine the price of their wine and food!

Working in the area had to find a pub really lucky ,,,lovely pub great staff,, food very good ,,,beers very good,,, wine very good ,,,big thank you to all the staff,,, Stephen,, and Dave,,,

Excellent as always, delicious food, reasonably priced, I wish I’d had room for a pud. Lamb shank is a treat, tender as anything with proper veg.
