The Plough Itchen Abbas in Winchester

The service was excellent with all the staff being welcoming, friendly and attentive. This was backed up by the quality and quantity of the food. There was 9 of us dining before an afternoon walk and the speed of the service was outstanding. Highly recommend The Plough

We had an overnight stay on our way to Southampton. We had a lovely room. The evening meal and breakfast were excellent. The staff welcoming friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely great staff, couldn't do enough for you. Evening meal and breakfast was excellent. We stayed in the king room with balcony, beautiful room very clean and well decorated. Would definitely recommend. Unbelievable value for the money. Thank you.

We stayed for two nights here and were very satisfied. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable, although the en-suite shower room was on the small side. The staff were friendly, helpful and very professional in their work. We had breakfasts and evening dinners in the hotel on both days, and the food was beautifully cooked and presented. I can recommend both the steak and ale pie and the fish and chips! There was a choice of local ales, all good too.

This was the perfect stop over for a visit to Winchester. I loved that it was dog friendly. Great room very comfortable and excellent food. Staff were most welcoming and helpful.

B and B, such a lovely place to stay. Room perfect, dinner and breakfast great. Can't fault anything here. Made to feel welcome and lovely walk after breakfast.

Lovely pub, friendly team, choice of bitter and wide selection of wines. Fabulous (king plus balcony) room, comfy bed, great walk in shower, lovely little balcony with seating. TV with sky. Fan in wardrobe if needed. Excellent food, & fabulous hot breakfasts. Only suggestion would be to check on breakfast guests as we love our coffee and would have welcomed being checked on to see if we’d like a second cup.

Stopped a night here on route from North Devon to Brighton. Lovely stay. Welcoming staff, great food, and beer, including an amazing breakfast. Spacious clean room. Would highly recommend.

A wonderful British pub with lovely clean rooms and an excellent breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

The pub was charming. The room we stayed in was large with a balcony and nice and clean. Ashley took the 4 of us to another pub for an evening meal as we didn’t realise that they stopped serving food early on a Sunday night. He went out of his way to make our stay perfect. The food was amazing and the menu was great, something for all of us. Alex behind the bar deserves a mention as he looked after us as well. Will definitely be going back.

We had lunch outside on the terrace. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Service was good.

Perfect Sunday lunch on a sunny day. Food was really good and service was attentive, never waited to be asked if we wanted anything else. Highly recommended.

From start to finish - the greeting after a 7 hour journey by Emily and then her 2 colleagues was very welcoming. Later we met Ashley who clearly understands customer service, how to run an establishment like this and sensible conversation. Our room was immaculate and then in the morning we were greeted by Petr who also provided a delicious breakfast. We will be re-visiting what we think must be one of Greene Kings top performers. Thanks.

We were here for 2 nights. We had a lovely room with a balcony which overlooked the beer garden. Unfortunately it didn't get used as the weather was so bad. The Plough was very clean and comfortable and we slept well even though the room was at the front, facing the road, we didnt find it a problem. Lovely hot breakfast served in the morning and well cooked evening meals. There was a good choice on the menu for both breakfast and evening meal. It seems very popular with the locals as there were always people in eating at night. The staff were always very friendly and the service was good so all in all we had a great time. We would recommend the Plough and we would stay again.

My wife and I had a great dinner inside at The Plough on Thursday, lovely fish & chips and oriental duck special.

Very accommodating of a last minute request for lunch, service was excellent and the food delicious. We are so lucky to have a quality Pub, serving top notch food on our doorstep. Thank you everyone.

The venue was easy to book. Upon arrival we where greeted promptly. Service throughout was completed in a friendly and timely manner. The food was absolutely fantastic! and the venue displayed a good use of Covid/hygiene regulations.

Great service and food as usual. Fantastic to have the Plough back open. Thank you for your commitment to the community during lockdown. I wAs so appreciated!

Nice pub, lovely beer garden.Let down by poor service.Arrived for afternoon drinks and shown to a table at the far end of the garden. Waitress then disappeared and didn't return within the next 20 minutes to take a drinks order. Eventually I decided to wander up to the pub doors to grab someone as they came out.Second round was the same - it seems they forget to visit the guests at the top end of the garden to take orders.Beer and wine we're both good quality and enjoyed immensely.After 3 identical round, all of which were priced differently, the manager came to apologise for the pricing issues, which is a good sign of a caring proprietor. Hopefully the staff will become more comfortable in coming days & weeks to make this a great village pub.

Have always been sceptical about Pub Sunday Roasts having had a Pub myself. I’m usually very disappointed, however for the first time, I tried The Plough. . . It’s a hard enough task to provide a good Sunday Roast where each part of the meal is right, never mind having to produce it for ‘Takeaway’ during Lockdown, but The Plough absolutely nailed it. It was great. Thank you very much.

Takeaway Roast lunch ready exactly on time and kept hot till home - inspired ! Easy online booking system . Brightened up lockdown !!

The food here has always been of great quality at reasonable prices. The management and team make a real effort and the beer is first class. The steak I had was perfectly cooked and I would say better than the steak (which was very good) I had at the Ivy in Winchester a week later !

Have frequently dined at The Plough and never been disappointed. We also enjoyed a fantastic takeaway this week; Fish & Chips, Burger and Toulouse sausage & lentil stew - highly recommend! Excellent value and well packed to enjoy at home. Great news that Ashley will be continuing with the takeaway service during the 2nd lockdown period...something to look forward to on a grim November evening!

We stayed here on route home from the West Country, unfortunately due to a family problem we needed to stay on the Thursday night, not the Friday. My partner rang and the staff sorted it there and then.Lovely welcome on arrival, the room was a good size as was the on suite and both were immaculately clean and smelt fresh.Dinner was excellent, starters were well prepared and very tasty, the fish and steak we had for mains were both beautifully cooked and dessert gorgeous.The beers were well kept and a good selection of ginsBreakfast the following morning was equally good.We really enjoyed our stay here and would come back in the blink of an eye.The real stars though are the staff, really friendly, great attention to detail and made the stay for us.

Stayed here recently and found it to be very well managed with Covid measures strictly in place.Absolutely lovely staff. Great food (one evening meal) and two great breakfasts.We had the king sized room with balcony; nice and clean but the bathroom might be a bit tight for a big person(s).Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Team Plough In.

We stayed at the plough as i good driving distance to Winchester which we were visiting museums cathedral etc. Room was clean and very comfy. enjoyed our stay. Staff were very helpful and attentive fantastic service with a smile. All Covid practices being followed. We booked for our evening meal which was fantastic we both had a gourmet burger with some extras, and sticky toffee pudding all highly recommended and if were local am sure would find this a great place to dine regularly. The breakfast options on our B n B were very good well cooked and very appreciated. Would not hesitate to stay or eat here again. Maybe we will. Thank you for a lovely comfortable experience.Keep safeHeidi B

Having been travelling around for the past week staying at different locations in England we thought it would be nice to finish with a local establishment. We were seated in the corner of this delightful dining room, had a drink & some really lovely olives whilst perusing the menu. The goats cheese croquettes were delicious, as was the whitebait. The mains were equally good, although rather strange to have mango chutney served with Thai curry... we finished with desserts of creme brûlée & sticky toffee pudding. We were attended by a charming waitress called Lisa, smart, polite & very friendly. We will be returning .

Our end point for the Itchen Walk, and we stopped for a cup of tea and a beer. Pretty garden, prompt service, a bit noisy by the road, but we hadn't booked so we're just pleased to sit down in the garden.

Had a lovely evening meal here, staff were extremely friendly and helpful (while adhering to social distance guidelines), and the fish and chips were amazing! Would highly recommend this charming pub, for a meal or even just an afternoon drink.

Really nice country pub, the food was delicious (especially the steak with an extra jug of peppercorn sauce... just how I like it) and the staff were very welcoming. I can't wait to go back and would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Even in these COVID times this is a great place to stay. Our balcony room (10) was spacious and really comfortable and provided a much needed relaxing 4 night break. The breakfasts and evening meals were excellent and still remain good value. The staff, led by Ash, could not have been more friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back, as we do most years now!Great base for exploring Hampshire and its excellent fishing and cultural sites.

Lovely night, good rooms, welcoming staff, Well Covid aware and organised and a fabulous meal Good parking outside and would be very happy to come back, thank you for a lovely stay

Lovely food and hospitality. Would definitely go again. HIGHLY recommenced the food here, especially the fish & chips.

Once again we took one of our clients to the Plough for lunch and this place never fails on anything! C19 precautions in place, felt safe and welcomed at the same time which other pubs have not managed to find the balance yet. The food... well what can I say. I am a really fussy eater and this is the only place I will eat fish and chips!

Have been for food a few times now and has been excellent every time. Great service, warm and friendly atmosphere and felt Covid 19 precautions were taken very seriously.

Amazing lunch here today. Welcoming, lovely atmosphere, super staff friendly and efficient Food choice good, fresh, hot, so pretty to look at and even better to eat. Clean plates all around! Cleanliness and safety protocols excellent Highly recommended will definitely be back

A friend and I stayed here for five nights whilst exploring the delights of Hampshire and were extremely pleased with the service and attention we received. We had a lovely twin room with a balcony overlooking the pub garden and the rooms were cleaned daily. (I say this because we had broken the journey down here the previous evening in the Cotswolds and discovered that that particular establishment would not clean rooms if you were staying for a few days).We ate here three times during the course of our stay and the food was excellent on each occasion.The wifi was pretty reliable and there was plenty of parking.A big thank you to Ashley, Tom, Emma, Claudia, Elise and the others whose names I have sadly forgotten. We would definitely stay with you again.

We popped here for a quick bite and drink on our way home. We were pleased with every aspect of our meal. Pub is clean and tidy. Very well organised and spaced. Food is delicious. Good choice of beers. Staff friendly and polite.We enjoyed our meal so much that we have returned weekly, 3 weeks in a row now. And long may we continue.Excellent.

Came across this pub on Trip Advisor when looking for somewhere to stop and eat when travelling by car down the M3. Friendly welcoming staff, clean, well organised for Covid social distancing, excellent food. Salmon cooked perfectly, pie very good and fish and chips generous and delicious. Curry and salad on menu too. Will definitely stop there again.

I popped in for a drink at the end of a lovely Monday evening walk. The staff were super friendly, everything sparkling clean and Covid secure - but it was sadly completely empty. Please keep visiting local pubs and keep them going through these tough times!

We were just passing through and saw people eating in the pub garden so stopped on the off chance.We had to eat indoors as all garden tables fully booked. The staff were very professional and thry had a good dog is protocol in place. The food was simply delicious, mushroom soup and whiteboard plus a Caesar salad. Good wine and nice ambience. Well done The Plough for keeping going despite all the lockdown problems and thank you.

All pubs and restaurants closed on Friday, The Plough are now serving superb takeaway food from 5-9pm. Celebrated Mother's Day today at home with the best Fish & Chips, Beef burger, and Steak & Ale Pie. Also draught 2 pint Plough beers... Food is superb and it's the closest thing to being in a pub these days. Try it - you will not be disappointed. Orders taken from 3pm food from 5-9pm. Keeping us all sane and great to support hard-working local businesses!!

In the current situation that we find ourselves in due to Coronavirus, The Plough, instead of shutting its doors, is offering a local collection/delivery service. Yesterday evening we enjoyed superb fish and chips at home and the icing on the cake for me was two pints of bitter ! They deserve as much support as they can get in these difficult times.

Booked in for one night while visiting the Watercress Line last week. and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was warm and comfortable and only a few yards from the restaurant and bar.Our evening meal was superb. My curry was excellent, very warm but not burning hot and my wife's trout delicious. Breakfast was again brilliant. A choice of cereals and juices followed by a full english for me and smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for my wife.The staff were most attentive and the pub is handily situated for places like Winchester and Alton.All in all well worth a visit.

Enjoyed excellent family dinner at the Plough last Saturday - food, service and atmosphere of this pub are first class. My wife and I tried the Beef Madras which had just been added to the menu and was outstanding; good portion, lean beef with perfect level of spice. Kids had Steak/ Burger which were both excellent. Fully recommend a visit!

Absolutely outstanding food, the steak by far the best we have had, great atmosphere, great friendly staff, can’t wait to go back, if you choose to eat at The plough you will not be disappointed!

Fresh, tasty lunch, with attentive and friendly staff. Had the salmon and chive cream cheese sandwich, the bread was so fresh and so much salmon. The side salad was delicious too, and nice to have a proper mix, even had pepper chopped in rather than limp leaves and one tomato that you usually get at other places.

Went into the plough for Sunday lunch and was very satisfied with our meal. The pub was very busy (looked fully booked) but the staff and service was still really great.No complaints about the food either, seafood rillette and the garlic mushrooms for starters were incredible and the roasts were fantastic. Would highly recommend to anyone and can’t wait to come back.

They were "very busy", I had to order food at the bar, even attracting someones attention couldn't get the order taken at the table. Starters arrived (quite good) at medium speed but after we'd finished, the plates sat on the table for another 15 minutes before removal. 20 minutes after that, no sign of mains (about an hour since we sat down). I enquired and was told they were being made (Sunday Roast?). I'd finished the starters 40 minutes ago and was starting to lose my appetite. The manager came out and explained that the plates were taken 15-20 minutes ago so... and sorry but they were busy. There was a very arrogant attitude in this which I was upset by. I was paying a fair price and it seemed like they thought they were doing me a favour. I'm a bit old school, so when mine eventually arrived, I sent it back. I'd lost my appetite. A begrudging apology and poor excuse was all I got. I could have been won over but the arrogance persisted, I'll not be back, they are plenty of pubs who welcome their customers! Shame.

Lunch here midweek was exactly how any normal person would want it.Good atmosphere, friendly service, a good mix of clients (not a hipster bar at that time of day at least). Reasonably priced, good honest food with a few tweaks here and there.Maybe 4 and a half out of 5 because the wife moaned a a bit about the batter on the fish being a bit.....and then couldn't find a word for it but seriously, it's all down to taste. To me it was tip top, but you know how it is.

I popped in for lunch and was immediately greeted by a relatively unfriendly member of staff, who certainly wasnt interested in any form of conversation exchange. My pint of Otter Amber was average, certainly the brewery is a good one, but the serving has undoubtedly been GreeneKing ised. The food was reasonably quick but over done for a sandwich, half the plate was salad and coleslaw and about £2.50 overpriced for what it was and slightly soggy because of the dressings. I wouldnt return.

Firstly the Sunday lunch, taken in the bar area as accompanied by our dog.

We stayed for four nights, to use this place as a base for visiting Winchester. We ate in every evening, and the food was excellent every time, at reasonable prices. It's a lovely old pub, but the drawback for us was that the room was so small - I believe we had the smallest room, in fact, but frankly it is only suitable as a single, not a double. There was only one chair and hardly any storage space. Pity, as we enjoyed all other aspects. The location is excellent for driving in to Winchester. The service was always cheerful and helpful. We would stay again, but not in the same room!

I rated this 1 as 0 wasnt an option! Visited today for 6 Sunday Roasts for family get together with family members from London, Reading and Durham. Neighbours recommended The Plough - big mistake! Roasts priced at £12.95. Tough beef, rubber roast potatoes which were inedible and a portion of vegetables that would fit into an egg cup! Very disappointing meal that ruined our festive get together. A dog repeatedly rummaged under our table,. The waitress wasnt interested in our comments about the meals. I couldn't recommend this pub only to recommend that you drive straight past! Will return to our local in Kings Worthy for fantastic value and portion sizes with fresh, tasty food.

We had a family get together. Service was friendly and efficient, looking after adults and children alike. Good range of choices on the menu and responded thoughtfully to our need for one strict gluten free meal. Food was excellent. Could not ask for more.

Well, what an absolute gem of a place, in a lovely little village, just outside the City of Winchester, from the moment you walk in and see the bright, airy, clean and warm welcome it's hard not to fall in love with this place straight away.

We arrived Friday 6th for two nights there only to find they had a massive water leak in one of the bedrooms it took out all of the electric in the whole place out. I suppose it wasn't there fault. We was just left in complete darkness for a while.

I had the vegetarian pasta which had a gorgeous gruyere sauce. My husband had the bean chilli with pulled pork, we were both very delighted with the food. Nice range of wines and puddings too.

15 mins from Winchester and a very friendly welcome at recently renovated pub with rooms.

Had dinner with friends here earlier in the week. The dining room is very elegant and the service was friendly and efficient. Food-wise we had fish and chips, salmon and the steak and ale pie, all of which were good, with the fish being particularly fresh and tasty. The only downside for us was that the room was quite noisy, down to a rather vocal single-sex group but it was good natured and hardly the pub’s fault.

Beautiful river walked topped off by an excellent light lunch. Gorgeous cheese and pickle sarmy with piping hot thin chips and pint of ale. Perfect. Thanks Emma

Just back from a short break to Winchester. We stayed overnight in the Plough. Couldn’t have chosen better.

We often visit the Plough and it never fails to impress . Excellent food at reasonable prices and friendly and efficient service . We will continue to sing it's praises .

During a recent walk the heavens opened up just as we neared The Plough so we nipped inside to shelter from the rain over a quick coffee. When we saw the food being served we decided to stay for lunch. We both had the Thai prawn soup which was absolutely delicious, full of flavour and spicy. Next time we'll linger over a full lunch!

We took a spur of the moment decision to walk from Easton to Itchen Abbas this week (we've a new pup who needs a lot of exercise) so a couple of hours into the walk we were delighted to turn a corner and come across The Plough.

Family weekday lunch. Generous portions of bread and of olives as starters. Delicious mushroom linguine as main, and squash curry which was more than my relative could manage. We lingered a long time over coffee - service always there but without hurrying us. Very enjoyable.

Popped in for Sunday Lunch, very good - the beef was excellent. Everything well cooked, nice selection of veg, though personally would have liked a little more veg. Deserts very luxurious

Stayed 2 nights B&B;, also had an evening meal both nights. Rooms clean and comfortable. Good breakfast with plenty of choice, pity no fruit. Evening meals were good especially the venison. Choice of real ales were disappointing. Staff were excellent. We would stay here again, only 10 mins out of Winchester. Good walks along river if it isn't raining!

Very impressed with The Plough. First visit there. Attentive staff & quick service. Food was excellent with a varied menu. Couldn't fault it.

Late birthday treat - 3 days in Hampshire trout fishing. The Plough (previously The Trout) has never disappointed whenever we have stayed. Being a late treat we could only book a twin room, which after almost 50 years of marriage was a first. Our room came with a balcony, which would be a real plus on a warm summers night, rather than the torrential rain the second night we stayed! Really good sized room and ensuite.

This was the second time I had been here with my daughter, and it was even better. The food was delicious, and the service and atmosphere good. we shall definitely go there again.

It has been two years since we last stayed at The Plough. Good Food, Good Atmosphere, & Clean Rooms. We spent two weeks there celebrating our 10-year anniversary. They had made upgrades inside & out during our absence. It's even better than before. I highly recommend taking a trip to The Plough & trying it out. You will not be disappointed.

Visited for Sunday lunch on a busy September afternoon. Agree with many of the previous comments - this is an attractive pub with outside tables in an 'L' shaped garden. The service is friendly and reasonably efficient, however we found the food average at best. The roast potatoes were tasteless and appeared to have been reheated, the beef wasn't great either.

Stayed for a Saturday night and for Sunday lunch the next day. Rooms are clean and comfortable with Sky TV, nice beds and Sky TV. Bathrooms are great.

The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The room we had was clean if not a little small once our Labrador layed down at the end of the bed but for one night it wasn’t a problem. The evening meal was really tasty, (roast beef and all the trimmings) as was breakfast.

Ein sehr schönes B&B; mit Restaurant in idyllischer Lage. Zimmer sehr geräumig und sehr sauber. kostenloser Parkplatz und W-Lan vorhanden. Sehr gutes Frühstück nach Karte. Das junge Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

We eat here having walked half round a really nice walk in the countryside. The dogs loved the walk and swim in the river and we enjoyed the wraps at lunch time. if you are in the area this is one pub not to miss

Amazing Sunday lunch !! Thoroughly tasty and good value for money !! Definitely recommend and will definitely return

Highly recommend this lovely pub/restaurant, good selection of real ales, the fish and chips were delicious and the tartare sauce served with it was the best ever, the steaks were cooked as required and scrumptious, the warm bread with selection of dips was enjoyed by all, only a small menu at lunchtime but enough choice for the 5 adults and one child at this family meal, and the home made ice cream was fabulous, a must to try.

Thoroughly enjoyed our short break at The Plough last summer so chose it again for our annual weekend in Hampshire. Booked too late to get the balcony room we stayed in last year, but our king size room was spacious with a good sized shower room and very comfortable bed. Friendly staff, good choice of drinks and tasty food made our stay very enjoyable. There is a good choice at breakfast and, as I wasn't feeling very hungry on the second morning, it was great to have the option of a sausage sandwich instead of a bigger meal.

Popped in here after a nice country walk. We had last been here when it was still known as The Trout. Very impressed by the new layout and decor. The menu was not extensive but there was meat, fish, vegetarian dishes so it would suit all tastes. We opted for fish. The trout fillet with cashew and rocket pesto was fabulous. There was also a decent range of beers and wines. They have a nice outdoor area as well as good dining space indoors. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Well worth a visit and we'll be back to try other dishes.

Nowadays, Gourmet Pubs are springing up all over the place but in far too many cases the only thing that justifies the label 'Gourmet' are their sky-high prices. More than once I have eaten at such an establishment and left knowing that I could have had a far better meal for a fraction of the cost in our company canteen!

WE had lunch here again as we have always found it satisfactory. The menu, although not extensive, has a good variety of starters, mains and puds. Prices are reasonable. The staff have always been friendly and attentive.

We have just been for Sunday lunch after reading positive reviews but were very disappointed. The beef was over cooked, tough and cold, potatoes were tasteless (they were ok once we added salt) and veg was average.

Had a lovely stay as a stop over to Portsmouth to catch the ferry. Room with terrace was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed including a nice selection of teas and also Sky TV. It was super quiet which suprised us as we were right over the outside terrace and the busy road went very quiet during sleeping hours. We enjoyed our meal from a very varied menu perhaps the only small criticism was that the potatoes served with the trout tasted a little bit reheated. Breakfast was simple but well cooked and staff were pleasant and eager to please. We would definitely stay again.

We stayed for three nights, and wished it could have been longer. Lovely warm welcome, and the room and bathroom were spotless. Great selection of teas in the room. We had the room called Turnwrest which had a lovely balcony. The food here is amazing, so good that even the guide at the Cathedral knew about it! The Steak and Ale pie I can heartily recommend. The breakfast was tasty with all appetites and diets catered for. Dogs also allowed to stay. We even had Morris dancers! There is a bus service but only after 9am and back from Winchester the last bus is 5.50pm. But you can get a good price for a taxi. Staff amazing, chatty and friendly. Highly recommended! Thanks again for a great stay!

Stayed for a few nights, what a wonderful place.

Smart decor inside with a nice garden and plenty of parking. Friendly welcome. Good menu choices and lighter bites. Service and food were great. The smoked salmon sandwiches were delicious - fresh granary bread and generous salmon filling.Will definitely visit again.

We have just stayed at The Plough for 2 nights. It is an ideal place to stay for a visit to Winchester. We used the park and ride facilities to get to the city which was great. There are also good walks in the area. The Plough is a lovely place to stay, the staff are really friendly, the rooms are very clean and the beds are comfy. The food is excellent. The breakfasts are big using all local produce and the evening meals are the same. The Plough is on the road and even though you can hear a slight noise it wont bother your nights sleep. It is definitely a place I will go back to.

Looking for a halfway point to meet up our friends found this great venue. Tucked away in the countryside but within easy reach of the main routes M3, A33 and A31. You get a good feeling looking at the front this is enhanced when you see how beautifully done the overflow car park at the rear has been done. Enough about aesthetics. Inside the pub/restaurant reflects the same quality producing a comfortable, airy, light and homely feeling. We were there for Sunday lunch and as well as the Roast other options were available. I went for the chalk river trout which pan fried and simply presented with new potatoes, green beans and a delicious pesto. Simple but superb the quality of the food shone through. I couldn't resist the temptation of chocolate brownie with mint ice cream and was not disappointed. Lovely gooey brownie (so often served as nothing more than a piece of dry chocolate cake) and delicious ice cream with a small fruit garnish, excellent. We ordered two roasts and a vegetable curry, all agreed it was good quality and great value.

To avoid the bad weather forecast for Friday, we decided to venture out on a Thursday and go to Alton Hampshire. It's a quaint place with lots of shops,and if you park in the Ladyplace carpark there is a nice recreation area close by.

Stopped here for a short lunch stop en route to south coast. My elderly mother was with my husband and I. So glad we chose this pub, we were made very welcome and service was swift even though it was busy. Our sandwiches ( Beef / Brie and bacon/ Sausage) were tasty and generous, with salad and a large bowl of fries.

Had an overnight stay at above pub for a break. What excellent hospitality. The staff were very friendly and the food was superb. Nice cosy rooms, peaceful environment , and a bonus sky tv!!. Couldn’t praise this place more. A relaxing walk nearby ,before our evening meal to get an appetite. Perfect, we feel we’ve been away.

2nd time we have visited with friends and what stood out this time was the deserts.

Met up with friends for a get-together, had a very pleasant evening here with great food, good service and pleasant ambience. My husband and I also stayed the night in the b&b; accommodation above, which we found clean and comfortable. Cooked breakfast the following morning was also very good. We’d happily return next time we’re visiting the Winchester area.

After coming in for something to eat with my brother we both thought the food was amazing, a great selection of beers, the staff are friendly and helpful. We will definitely be coming back

Once again our meal always lives up to the quality we now expect from here.. gorgeous tasty amazing food, wonderful staff, value for money ...can’t wait till our next meal and I know we won’t be disappointed!!

Advertised roasted figs for starter but they came out raw. Waitress said it was a mistake on the menu!! She did not even offer to take them off the bill even though my daughter did not eat them. Husband had a bad stomach after eating here.

We popped in for lunch at short notice and weren’t disappointed. Has a pleasant slightly formal dining area along with seats near the bar as well. For once I decided on two light starters with crunchy whitebait and then a delicious goats cheese with figs. My partners mini steak was well received too and washed down with a good glass of house wine.

Accidentally stayed here due to booking the wrong date at another hotel, and I must say one of the better accidents I have had.
