The Bucks Head in Winchester

We were staying in the area on a very rainy day so booked in for lunch. Superb pizzas all round which were very well cooked and varied in their toppings. Great quick service and happily accommodated our two dogs.

This a a friendly welcoming pub in Corhampton and we stopped in for lunch, the service was exceptional the staff obviously well trained and extremely polite. Our lunch was also first class and we can recommend it.

I took a group of 22 walkers for Sunday lunch after a walk. The food was outstanding. People said it was the nicest Sunday lunch they had ever had and I have to agree. Superb service from start to finish and wonderful food. You can't go wrong if you book for lunch here. We will be back!

Just had our second visit for an evening meal with friends. Lovely food, the game stew was faultless. Very cosy and welcoming atmosphere and the staff are brilliant!!

Called in here for lunch with my wife, nice country pub with good ambience and welcoming friendly staff, Good meals and good beer at a reasonable price mean we will look to visit again when we are in the area. Good place to refresh when enjoying the excellent walking and nearby scenic spots

Went in on a Sunday afternoon as we saw the pub on our way home. So glad we did. Food was amazing. Reasonably priced too for the amount you get. Couldn’t get through it all. The young girl on the bar was lovely. She was busy but very friendly. Well worth a stop. Oh and dog friendly too.

Amazing food and surroundings on a beautiful Summer’s days. Friendly staff, good value for money, lovely setting for an enjoyable lunch.

What a gorgeous place to stay, with charming staff, a lovely room and great food. We arrived early, before check in time, but were instantly made to feel welcome. Our luggage which had been previously delivered by baggage handlers had been already taken to our room (something which we discovered very few people do, so bonus points for that). We ate a delicious lunch before retiring to our room which was clean and well supplied. There was a buzzing atmosphere in the pub at dinner time, with several other walkers, cyclists and locals and once again the food and service was excellent. Breakfast was a similar experience and we headed off for a very long day's walking feeling refreshed and happy. We would definitely recommend a stay at this charming pub; thanks to all involved in making our stay so pleasant.

We stayed here for one night as we were walking the South Downs Way, what a lovely pub/b & b this is! Clean and comfortable bedroom with on-suite bathroom, large selection of evening meals available, full-english breakfast was fabulous, all-round great service from friendly staff. Highly recommend!

We stayed here whilst walking the south downs way. It was booked for us through a walking company so we had no idea what to expect. We had a very friendly welcome and when we asked if the vegetarian meals could be made vegan they kindly fetched the chef for us, he told us exactly what was in each meal, so they couldn't be made vegan but he offered to make us something from scratch. We had a very nice sweet chilli vegetable rice dish and sorbet for dessert. We had drinks in the bar after dinner sitting amongst the locals who were very friendly and chatty, and they all brought their dogs which was great.

Great location and facilities with excellent food and service perfect to rest your weary legs on the South Downs Way

We went to The Bucks Head in January for our friends engagement party and had a really lovely evening.

I knew as soon as I spoke to Nicki on the phone - that all would be well with the accommodation. Nothing was too much trouble, and she was happy to take early delivery and late collection of our luggage, as we were walking the first two sections of the South Downs Way. We stayed on a particularly cold day, and the landlord was happy to offer a space heater to boost the heat in our room.He offered us a flask of fresh milk for our tea, and a table had been reserved for supper, as it was a particularly busy night. The food was very tasty and beautifully presented. My risotto was one of the best I have ever tasted, and I'd love to return to try something else from the menu.Nicki cooked us a good English breakfast, and we even had porter service of cases to the car, when we returned to pick up our luggage.

Absolutely lovely country pub, the staff are very welcoming & so polite, amazing hearty & tasty food great value for money. Great place for a beer with friends or take the whole family for a great meal for all ages .

This was the first hotel that we stayed in whilst walking the South Downs Way as they had kindly agreed to take delivery of our bags from our baggage company. Despite it having a Greene King sign outside this pub it serves good food and cask ales from other independent breweries (as it does not have to sell specific Greene King beers) in fact the locals are asked to pick which ales they want to try. The interior décor is clean, smart and modern and is very popular with the locals. You don’t have to wait long to be served your food, but I suggest you book a table in advance as it gets busy. The staff are very helpful and friendly and they advised us on the beers on offer and how they were sourced, you get a really good vibe about the pub. The rooms are also clean and smartly decorated (nice toiletries, variety of tea bags) , ours included a bath and a strong shower, comfy bed and was very quiet considering you are right over the bar area. Breakfast was also very good. Would we stay here again if I was in this area? “Absolutely”.

Lovely country pub which offers B&B; facilities. Friendly service and great selection of pies and country food.Large selection of food Popular with walkers and close to Winchester.Will definately return

Only stopped in for a drink en route to viewing houses but the pub itself was nicely furnished with a lovely sunny garden next to a stream. Friendly bar staff. We didn't stop to eat although overheard that the place was fully booked so imagine you always need to book. Lovely spot and worth a visit.

Stayed here with my family whilst walking the south downs way. The staff here are extremely friendly and helpful. The room I stayed in was nice, and if memory serves, had decent wifi.

Stayed in a ground floor room which was clean and well equipped. Excellent meal in the evening, sitting in the very attractive garden. Breakfast next morning was plentiful, freshly cooked and set us up well for a day of walking. Very friendly and helpful proprietor.

Stayed here after our first and very hot days walking on the South Downs Way. The rooms were fairly plain but were clean and spacious enough for us and our bags which is not always the case. The food for the evening meal was delicious and the pub was almost full to capacity with diners which is a testament to the quality of the food. Service was good and friendly. After a good nights sleep we were served a very hearty breakfast and provided with a decent packed lunch for our days walking. All in all a very enjoyable stay.

We cycled up the old railway track to the Bucks Head and enjoyed a cold pint and a burger in the beautiful beer garden. A completely idyllic English country pub!

A very nice, friendly pub. Food very good. There was only one downsize with food and that was the fish pie. You could of really called it Tuna pie. Not the normal fish you have in a fish pie, it totally overwhelms everything.

My partner and I read the great reviews on Trip Advisor and decided to eat here as it was only a short walk from our holiday B&B;.

We found this pub very welcoming. There was everything we needed after a long days walk. Comfy beds, teapot and fresh milk. Hot water for a bath or shower and a TV to watch the Grand National on.

A lovely village pub, which we have not visited for several years. There is a relaxed atmosphere not spoiled by loud music or other distractions. The service is as good as ever and the staff are very welcoming, friendly and efficient. There is a good choice of food and drink and prices are quite reasonable. There was adequate parking even though the pub was fairly busy on a mid week evening. I suspect that booking might be necessary at weekends.

We come to this pub every week for our motorcycle club meetings. We were made extremely welcome when we first approached the land lady Nick to ask if we were able to come here.

The food is soooo good! Such a choice for celiacs as well!! The portion size is LARGE! Staff are really friendly and the place is dog friendly. Recommend you book if you are hoping to eat at the weekend. Great pub spot for walking the Meon Way.

Really great pub with very friendly staff. The kitchen is able to cater for a variety of events. Nice to go to a pub where there isn't any TVs. Even though it is not a free house it has great character as is a proper public house. Wheelchair accessible too (which is rare for such an old building.

Had lunch here today with friend after walking along the old Meon Valley Railway

Two of us stayed here on our first day of the SDW. I had stayed alone last year and the pub was as good as it was then. A lovely, welcoming atmosphere provided by Nicky and staff as well as good food from local ingredients. The breakfast was superb and she provided us a packed lunch. This pub is in a beautiful setting and is perfect for the SDW. If I lived nearer it would be my local.

Right in the heart of the meon valley. The food is amazing and good quality, locally sourced. The staff are very friendly and helpful and will adapt the food to suit your needs.

The four of Us stopped for the night on our South Downs Way trek. We had a nice warm welcome and shown to our rooms. They were of good size, comfortable and clean. The en suite with bath/shower was clean with plenty of hot water and toiletries. The evening meals were delicious washed down with a choice of good ales. A good nights sleep in comfortable beds (expect a bit of light noise from the bar, it is a pub after all) and in the morning a great full English breakfast freshly cooked. You can order a good packed lunch if you require one. It's about 15 - 20 mins back to the SDW so I would recommend this as a Great Stopover.

We have been here a few times, atmosphere wonderful, staff pleasant, clean, menu wonderful my husband loves Stilton, mushroom and onion jam panini, he recommends it

My husband, 2 year old son and I went to The Bucks Head for Fathers day lunch. I drive past The Bucks Head most days on route to and from work but have never stopped. I decided to book a table for fathers day so I could treat my husband to a nice trip out to the countryside. The Bucks Head had a lovely friendly atmosphere. The staff were so friendly and helpful....for example, anyone with young kids will know that trying to keep a 2 year old occupied is a task, but the lovely waitress brought over some books for him to look at once we'd exhausted all his usual toys (we didn't ask, she just came over and offered them to us) and then when our starters came out, again the nice waitress offered us a handful of chips for our son so he wasn't without. I was so pleasantly surprised by this service. The food when it did arrive was very yummy....very large portions!! Once we'd finished our meal out son decided to mess his nappy (typical!) and when I asked the staff if there were any baby changing facilities they apologised that none had been fitted during the referb but instead offered me access to one of the B&B; bedrooms to change him. I thought this was so kind of them. As a family we were made to feel so welcome and we will definitely return.

Stopped for working lunch fast efficient lunch. Lovely paninis with chips n watercress. Definitely on my list for a future visit. If only it was warmer and I would have sat outside.

We were passing and decided to drop in for a drink and a sandwich. We were given a warm welcome. Decided to eat and I was served the most amazing ribs which were beautifully cooked. The pub soon filled up. The cost was fair and the beer and food delicious.

Our small group of walkers had a fabulous evening meal here. Sharing fish platters, steak and ale pie, crab pate were all greatly appreciated and the vegetarian goat's cheese tart was described as truly outstanding. We ordered before we went off for the walk and it was all brought to our table by the friendly staff as soon as we had settled. Encouraged by this, most of us ordered desserts which were also lovely, and I can particularly recommend the Bakewell Tart with a beautifully light topping.

This is a lovely little pub in a quaint village. We went over on a weekday lunchtime for a drink and a bite. We were not disappointed..

Lovely pub in a lovely village. The owners are very friendly and make you feel very welcome. The food is delicious and plentiful, have never been disappointed, vegetarian choices are great!

Called in to the Bucks Head for a quick sandwich but as the menu was so inviting we decided to have a main meal instead. I had the Duck starter which was excellent and then had a really delicious homemade burger. We also had the sizzling chicken and the pork chops. All perfectly cooked, full of flavour and excellently prepared. Great service and for the quality very good value for money. Cannot recommend enough.

nice country pub and good food ,i had fish and chips nice and fresh .group of us went and all happy with food, service good.had two grandchilren with us aged 1 .found high chairs very dirty but would go again .food wasnt to pricey

if you like very good food at a good price then you must try the bucks head my wife and I have been there about ten times now we love it the staff are very friendly so please look it up

The new refurbishment is clean and fresh and the staff were very friendly just the sandwiches were disappointing. The baguettes were very brittle which spoilt the sandwiches. A slightly better quality baguette would have made all the difference. I will come again as I have only visited once since the refurbishment.

The Bucks head, is located in Meonstoke - in middle of meon valley
