Recently refurbed very nice. Staff really friendly even the chef stopped for a chat. My husband had a roast and said it was one of the best he has ever had. I had scampi and really nice and home cooked no ping ping here. Will be back. Nice to have somewhere in Winchester with decent home cooked grub. Thank you.

First time we’ve visited since it’s had a makeover. It was quiet as was mo day lunchtime but the lovely lady Sandy was very welcoming and showed us to a quiet area to our table. There is a smaller menu for lunch at the moment but still a good choice . We had the steak and Ale pie which was very nice and piping hot. Friendly and clean

Fantastic Sunday Lunch thoroughly enjoyed by the whole group. We chose one of each roast on offer and were all equally delighted. We would have stayed longer but the next party had arrived so we had to vacate.

My family and I all met for lunch , and we all had different meals from sandwiches ,burger ,scampi, main courses of salmon and meat pie ,We had to wait for it to be freshly cooked but it was so worth it . Everything tasted so yummy. I wish I lived locally because I would definitely become a regular diner . My thanks to all the staff for a lovely meal 🤗

I’m not sure quite what has gone wrong with this so called ‘family’ pub but I’ve refused to go in there now. The foul language used by much of the clientele is disgraceful. Walking past the pub to get to the shop with my daughter usually results in hearing drunk men and women swearing continuously and the pub staff seem completely oblivious to it. This is NOT a family pub. If you have children, stay away.

This an old school new pub. Built to service the local housing estate which do an excellent job in the community. We had an excellent Sunday roast served by a knowledgeable chef who was very happy and helpful. The bar staff were also very attentive pandering to our requests for liquid refreshment and feeding our friends dog, Sonny, with snacks and titbits. One can get either a small or large roast depending if your eyes are bigger than your belly and also cost.

Food was below average with over an hour wait for 4 cheese burgers. Chips had been cooked in old oil and the taste wasn’t pleasant. Overall lovely pub for a drink, staff were excellent and couldn’t be more helpful, however the chef really lets the place down, more than happy to return for a drink but wouldn’t eat here again.

I really wanted to like this pub. I went in for a drink with my daughter after a long bike ride. The barmaid was far more interested in getting a kitkat chocolate bar from an inibriated gentlemen than serving costomers. I asked twice to add something to our order but she was far to pre occupied with kitkat chunky. We will not be back.

Came for a family meal from Cornwall. My cousin paid for 6 of us and I felt embarrassed for him. Didn't want to embarras him. But my partner and I had fish and chips probably the worst we have ever had. My aunt wasn't impressed with her liver either. She said it was over cooked and like eating boots. No need to come again it was a one off

A local late 20th century built pub in the Winchester suburb of Harestock. It has a big car park and is the terminus of the frequent No 3 bus route from Winchester centre. Spacious nicely maintained bars and a big outdoor area. Good value nicely cooked food. Menu is pub grub with interesting diversions into European and Asian dishes. A reasonable selection of beers including real ale. Very pleasant service. A well-run and welcoming pub.

My daughter and I have been to this pub before for quiz nights and enjoyed our evenings. This was the first time eating there. We each ordered burger and chips. Both were pink and raw in the middle. My daughter had taken one bite and then cut hers in half to make it easier to eat and saw it was pink and raw in the middle. She returned it. The bar staff took it back then returned the same plate with the by now cold chips and said she could have another burger but she would have to wait and it would be smaller! I had eaten a bit more of mine before seeing it was undercooked so I also left mine. We were charged the full price and defiantly made to feel the resentment of the lady proprietor for having dared to complained. We will not be eating there again purely because of the manner in which the complaint was handled. It was very poor costumer service.

We visit probably more than we ought to! A great local, whether it’s a catch up with the girls, or out with kids this place is perfect. Only a quick wander when the hassle of heading out to town is too much. Plus the kids love that whenever they go there’s sure to be a friend or two from school ready to play in the fenced lawn area.

My god what a treat!! Went in for pizza from the New oven on a whim. And what a pizza, you can go to your stables, or to your pizza huts etc you will never get a pizza like this. Over 20 choices for create your own and a reasonable price. I would have taken a photo of the pizza itself but instead it too quickly ! Great pizza, great price, great atmosphere, would really recommend over and over again!

Great to have a place open early on Sunday and it was the only nearby coffee shop open before 9. I had breakfast pancakes with an egg and maple syrup that were great. Coffee also good. Friendly service. Only downside was that the coffee cups are old and scratched.

Popped in today with family for hot chocolate. The place is always busy as it has a good reputation. BUT, there has clearly been a change in staff and they simply weren’t coping with the volume of customers. The queue was out the door and the stress seemed evident, with one staff member being quite brusque with us when serving. The table we found hadn’t been cleared of the previous’ empties. They did sort this out for us relatively promptly. After ordering I had to ask for an additional loyalty stamp (according to the card it’s per hot drink, not visit) for the two hot chocolates I ordered and when the drinks arrived they weren’t as hot as either of us would have liked. Didn’t make a fuss, as by then the queue was out the door again and I didn’t want to stress out the already stressed manager. Next thing we knew, two younger male staff members sauntered out of the kitchen like they had all the time on the world, whilst the manager was still clearly running around like a headless chicken. Unfortunately the choc chip scones we had were dry. I think they had previously been frozen. To be fair we were offered these to be heated up for us but declined. Biggest issue is clearly training the new staff who aren’t pulling their weight. I feel disappointed as the staff used to be super here, efficient and friendly and it used to have a lovely atmosphere, even when busy. Unfortunately I feel there were neither here today. Really hope you’re able to iron these issues out. :)
