The March Hare in Winchester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

New owners to start food again in a few months.

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.

Great second bar with screens for sport and good atmosphere. Friendly staff and a decent selection of drinks.

Amazing Sunday Roasts. Super service.

Sunday carvery is ok and everything else is great, especially desserts. Also a great place to have a pint and mingle.

Expensive local pub that serves food

Popped in to watch football... Service was quick and attentive and with a smile .. Great selection of beers.... Didn't have any food, but saw enough food coming out to people, to suggest that it's good grub !!

Great local pub. Friendly staff, good, well-kept beer, and an excellent Wednesday night open mic session.

A good local with pleasant staff and excellent draught bitter. Just as a pub should be.

Great food. My dad had small sausage and mash and he thought it was really tasty. I had the burger which was very yummy. I had fruit crumble for dessert.

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.

Visited with family for Sunday lunch. Had the carvery which was excellent. Meat was tender and plentiful with lots of veggies to help yourself to. Very friendly and welcoming staff . Will return again 👍

Great food, great atmosphere and really friendly staff. Good parking and outside seating

Brilliant value, good service, friendly staff and great food 👌

Really good choir get together after singing at hospice. Great atmosphere...fun evening.

Excellent, the menu could be more extensive

Really nice neighborhood pub! This country is missing many of these estate pubs these days and it's good to see one doing well!

Pleasantly surprised by this pub. Staff very friendly, good atmosphere, family friendly and the food was fantastic.

Alright pub in middle of estate, full of many characters , nice beer garden

Visited for a Sad reason. The owner, bar, and kitchen staff were all amazing, helpful, kind, humorous and most of all went out of their way to make all our party feel welcome and relaxed.

İ went here. Maybe you wıll too.

Decent pub, great service, great outdoor area. Could spend some good Sundays in the sun here

Proper pub ! Good fun and a good atmosphere. 👍

Bar staff a little rude and can tell don't want to be there but food was lovely.

Nice staff excellent service and first class food came pipping hot and very tasty this was our second visit and we will be back again soon Joe and Dot

What a lovely friendly pub. Food was reasonably priced as was drinks. Very nice staff and a nice little touch of games on the tables which kept us occupied while food was being prepared 😀

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.

They serve large and a smaller meal. Ideal for people, like me, who don't want a meal where only half is eaten.

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

Great experience and they dealt with 150 decending in one go pretty well. Facilities and staff were excellent

Lovely pub, dropped in there on our way to Southampton. Made us very welcome hope to visit again soon.

First time I've ever had real fresh veg on a carvery, staff where great, will definitely go back! Thank you!

Nice dog (and puppy) friendly place

Haven't been here for years, but a return visit will be on the to do list.

Friendly atmosphere and staff. Generous portion of chicken burger meal served in a relaxed unhurried way.

First time there in many years and our time there was outstanding , it was my sons 21st and he wanted to in there for some celebration drink wiv me , the wife and his 20 year old brother , from start to finish we were given A star customer service, our whole experience was great and the staff totally went out of there way to show us a good time and we were treated like royalty , would totally recommend whether ur a local or a visitor to our lovely city , from anything from a quick pint to an amazingly beautiful full meal u will not be disappointed, great pub and perfect staff I cannot praise this establishment enough , definitely worth a visit by anyone , well done to all involved in the running of what I would call a perfect English pub and restaurant I can't find a negative thing to say about winchesters great pub called the "march hare" , thank u for making us feel so welcome 😀

Still the top pub in Winchester

Went in for a quick lunch today, very covid safe, lovely staff and excellent pasty. What more could I ask for??

Amazing food all home made. Staff always welcoming love going in here

Cheerful staff and substantial breakfast. Good distancing rules in place

Spent a relaxed evening in the March enjoying a meal and drinks with friends. Excellent meals all round, supported by very attentive landlady and her staff. Thank you!

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.

Visited for roast dinner, lovely fresh food. Excellent service, friendly staff. Felt safe, lots of space. Will definitely visit again. Hiden gem in Winchester.

Mum has moved recently and this is now her local. Took advantage of the government eat out to help out scheme. Never eaten here before but will definitely eat here again. I had liver and bacon with mash and seasonal vegetables and mum had fish and chips with peas. Both of our meals were lovely and perfectly cooked

Pleasant atmosphere and a good range of draught beers available. Helpful staff

Great for a quick bite when you're not cooking

Great food excellent atmosphere

Just had our first Sunday carvery here. Really good, we will be returning

It was fine. This was my first ever visit. They have three real ales on sale and the bar chap was friendly enough. Bearing in mind that my visit was in the lull between Christmas and New year they were doing ok. I'll certainly call in again.

quaint local pub with plenty of table games to keep you interested whist enjoying a quiet midweek drink. decent beer and decent service.

Still a great pub. Darts & pool top notch. Ale is £3.90 a pint

Relaxed lunch in a slightly run down pub. The waiting staff were lovely and food was absolutely fine.

Good food, good service and a reasonable price. The granddaughters both enjoyed their choice from the children's menu and I tucked into the sausage, mash and onion gravy, and there was plenty of it! We will be returning soon.

Friendly atmosphere and friendly staff. Was recently refurbished. Good choice of beers and wines.

A business lunch with two colleagues , whilst the food was edible (very average) the service was appalling . Shan’t be rushing back here anytime soon. Ruined an otherwise good day.

Friendly atmosphere. Dog friendly beer garden

Very friendly staff. Especially Taz. Not tried the food but it's looks lovely. Pool table and sky sports as well. Definate thumbs up

Friendly staff and a good afternoon had playing pool,shame I lost

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.

Local pub with friendly bar staff...

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.

Good quality food at a reasonable price. Friendly. Good for sport

Great home cooked food served by very friendly staff.

Food was pretty good however with only a few customers in the whole pub the service was slllloooooooooooowwwwwww

Service was lovely, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, food was decent portion for good price, very tasty and well presented

A good pub with friendly staff happy to help you....a good range of drinks

Great atmosphere for the rugby and a very friendly pub. Excellent staff and a lovely Doombar too!

Just popped in to have a quick lunch. Food was excellent and I liked the option of smaller portion meals on a number of the mains. Very helpful and friendly. We shall definitely be going back again.

Good food, friendly pub, very clean, helpful staff

The pub was not what we were expecting at all. Nicely decorated inside and a warm welcome from the landlady. The food was good - steak pie with gorgeous pastry and fish and chips for us. The beer was good too. The menu provided both big and smaller portions and was well priced. We would have driven past usually but are glad we went in.

Great curry there today. Very friendly and helpful landlady and staff. We will return!

It's the best pub in Winchester I goes there all the time and the food Tuesday to Sunday is fantastic and great fun friendly staff I personally would suggest this pub to anyone

Just changed hands, getting new chef, should get better.

Love this local pub, just what you expect decent food and beer.

Tasty sharing platter and friendly staff as always. Lovely local pub.

Buena comida, servicio y relación calidad-precio. Fue una hermosa tarde soleada después de la boda y la final de la copa (solo estoy agregando esta basura para exceder 100)Pero fue una buena noche para cenar con mis hijos. Recomiendo el pastel de pollo y jamón

Great pub, great pizza, friendly staff, great priced, didn't even notice the big football game happening in the next room! What more can you ask for!

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!

Visited the pub on Saturday night with my brother, nephews and dog. We all got a warm welcome from the landlord, as always. Friendly atmosphere and treats for the dog.

Nice pub with friendly and inviting landlords and staff, great grassed and patio beer garden that is fenced in for children and is perfect when the sun is out, there is also a main eating area in the bar which is pleasant and a separate snug next door which has a pool table and shows sports on the TV etc. Nice pub for everyone

Lack of bar staff, burnt food,

Nie jadłem nic w tym barze piłem tylko piwo obsługa miła na sali czysto

Very nice home cooked food and friendly service. It's true you might wait a while for food if they're busy, but for a traditional 'estate' pub, it really is a gem.

Although we only live a ten minute stroll from The March Hare I’ve not visited since June 1974 so when I wanted to buy Chris a belated birthday meal and I saw some good reviews it seemed an ideal time to go. We went on a Tuesday Steak Night when there is a 2 for 1 offer on a steak meal, and we chose sirloin steaks with one pepper sauce and one garlic mushroom portion in addition. The meals came cooked exactly as requested with chips, mushrooms, tomatoes and onion rings AND a side salad, and we both enjoyed it very much with a Sauvignon Blanc for Chris and a couple of glasses of Shiraz for me. It’s a typical estate local pub but an airy and comfortable dining area and pleasant background music. We went in the early evening so were the only diners but service was pleasant and efficient and we both agreed that a return visit to try the rump steak was a strong possibility.

Whether we go to the March Hare for one or two drinks in the beer garden; to enjoy the Irish Night or Friday night music or if we go to eat, one thing is for sure - we always have a great time!

I've been to the March Hare a few times since it has been refurbished with my Mum, who lives locally, and my young son. Usually for Saturday lunch. The food is great, always really nicely presented and cooked perfectly. A really good choice of food with some more unusual dishes as well as the classics. Good kids' menu as well. It's also clean, welcoming and friendly. However I was really inspired to write this by the Sunday roast I had the other day. I had a veggie roast, and I can honestly say it was the best I've ever had. All perfectly cooked and seasoned, and a really interesting selection of veg. Yum! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone.

A friend had his birthday at The March Hare, quiet drinks and a meal. Again the food was astounding, the jerked pork went over a treat with all, with everyone trying some. I had the veggie burger as I fancied a try of something and while I won't be turning vegetarian anytime soon it was still a great tasting burger. The Magners flowed and Alan and the staff were great throughout (even though the ordering on our part was very confusing) I almost forgot about the starter of chicken goujons which was exceptional. All in all another succesful visit to the revamped March Hare and I shall be returning with more people!! Great job again Alan.

We had lunch on a Sunday and found the restaurant quite busy. My wife had the roast lamb from the carvery which had a choice of four meats whilst I had the lamb rump from the specials board. Both meals were delicious and there was plenty of food in both choices. The food was well cooked and obviously freshly done. There was a selection of desserts and those that we had were very nice. There is a choice of two well keptreal ales and that is due to be increased to three in the near future. We will definitely be going back there to eat.
