The Vine in Winchester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Visited this pub to check it out for an upcoming family dinner. Went in and were served immediately, although no dark ales. We decided to sit in the garden but had to walk through 3 large and one medium dog to get there. There were other, well-behaved dogs in garden, no problem. When leaving, the 3 large dogs and person, had moved to another place but still blocking access/egress. In total she apologised 3 times to me or my husband when having to move the dogs, but did not consider moving the dogs out of the only way for us or others coming or going to the pub. We do not dislike dogs but do not feel that we, or anyone, should have to walk through or past dogs of an unknown disposition. We will not be taking the family (or visiting ourselves) in the near future, if at all.

Clearly for local people. Partner and I had a beer and wine which was ok. Had to wait to be served as know one behind the bar. Lady sat at bar talking as if she actually owned the place. Despite the signs saying no, she was vaping and her dog (white one) was barking at any other that walked in. Bar staff were giving her extra treatment.

Went for Sunday lunch today, food was OK,chicken breast was very dry,charged an extra £2.00 for having lamb no signs to say there is a surcharge, no starter or dessert just a roast lunch, pricey for a roast lunch. Will not be going back.

Went to The Vine today for Sunday lunch with my family . The carvery was ok , but was luke warm . My dessert was cold and I sent it back to have it re heated , it came back eventually after the young lad tried to take it to another table . It was still under cooked so I sent it back and asked for it to be taken off my bill , which it was . When I got home I checked my receipt and I had an extra £4.00 added , it just stated food . I called the pub and they said you had lamb at the carvery so you pay an extra £2.00. I asked over the phone why I was charged £4.00 and the girl on the phone said you have been over charged come back and we’re refund you . What was naughty is there are no signs to say you pay extra for the lamb on top of the carvery price . As a new customer you would have expected the landlord or manager to have come over when I sent the dessert back but no one came over . Sadly my family and I will not be returning .

Lovely evening at the Vine. Busy and great atmosphere. Staff were great. Food fantastic. Best steak I’ve had in years. 👏

We have just returned from a week in Hambledon and visited The Vine every evening. Claire, Mark and the Team were very welcoming & friendly. The beers and food were excellent & great value - the fish & chips were outstanding, delicious. We thoroughly recommend a visit to this pub, we will be back. Duncan & Lucy

Lovely country pub, friendly atmosphere and a nice open fire. Food was delicious and nothing was too much for the staff. Would definitely recommend and will be back again soon!

Lovely cosy pub in a very quaint village food was delicious and staff very friendly would definitely recommend

The Vine is a fantastic country pub, with a great atmosphere. The staff are lovely and welcoming, and nothing is too much trouble. The food is exceptional, amazing quality and portions. Highly recommend The Vine!

This is a great pub, with a warm, cozy atmosphere. There was an open fire that was lit. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Service was great. The meals were amazing, and big portion sizes. We really enjoyed our trip to this country pub and will definitely be returning soon. Recommended to anyone. Dogs and children welcome. I've heard the Sunday carvery are amazing as well, but bookings are advisable due to it often selling out. Great pub, not one complaint.

A great spot for dinner in the lovely village of Hambledon Hampshire Definitely worth a visit with your family 🤣

Food fantastic, choice of drinks wonderful, staff friendly and helpful, Cosy pub well worth a visit. Ale well kept and good low alcohol beer for those who require it. Carvery not to be missed! Pub in the pretty village of Hambledon Hampshire,

Excellent Sunday Carvery served here, Friendly welcoming staff with efficient service. Plenty of choices of meat, Lamb, Chicken, Beef, Gammon and Pork. Good selection of homemade desserts for afters.

I visited The Vine today (29/10/23) with my family and we were greeted by friendly staff and a warm, cosy atmosphere with a lovely lit open fire. We were shown promptly to our table and served our drinks very efficiently. Each of us thoroughly enjoyed our carvery dinners and puddings, the food was impeccable and devoured by us all! The chef was very generous with the meat portion too and food reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning and will recommend to others.

Great country pub we arrived today for a roast dinner and I'd highly recommend it. The food was spectacular, help your self to a large array of vegetables and the chef dishes out large portions of meat. The staff were excellent very polite will definitely be returning. I'd recommend this pub to anyone you definitely won't be disappointed

Great little country pub, ideal for drinks or classic homemade pub food. The new landlords are absolutely lovely and have spoken about some great updates for the pub that I can't wait to come back and check out. Great broad menu with many vegetarian options available.

Lovely pub, with a charming staff - chef & barmaid. We got there just too late for lunch but the chef was sitting down at the bar & offered to re-open the kitchen & cook us a meal. Really lovely of him, the food was good, the drinks were good & service great. Only complaint? the dreaded card machine which asks you - before you have eaten or sipped your drink, whether you want to leave a tip. It really makes you want to say "no" but we did say "yes". I think if it had been left to us regarding tips, we would have left more - after we had enjoyed the meal. We certainly will go back & probably book a Sunday lunch, as for tips, we will decide after we have paid cash. To the two brilliant staff though - a big thank you.

Lovely village pub with friendly staff. Good food (we had the prawn cocktail, Camembert , Hunter’s chicken, and Lasagne) very tasty! Glad we arrived early as it got busy. Nice beer garden to enjoy the sun. Will be back !!

great service, great food, really enjoyed it. Thanks so much and will definitely be coming back again.

A delightful country pub with a warm welcome but there it stops. The food list is short and very pub grub. The wine list is chalked on an overhead beam; three reds, three whites, 2 rosee, and a Prossco. The Cumberland sausage and mash was not at all pleasant. The sausages appear to have been reheated from the previous day - tough and tasteless. The roasted chicken breast was smothered in BBQ sauce and grilled with rasher of bacon and cheese on top. The wine was reasonably priced for an awful quality.

Experience was ok, but with a few tweaks could be much better. Booked a table for a pre Mothers Day lunch and given pick of tables in the right side bar, whereas everyone else eating seemed to be on the other side. Box of cutlery arrived promptly but instead of giving us menus or taking our drinks order waitress went back behind bar to serve other customers. Menu was brief and standard pub fare but very reasonable prices. Chicken gougons had been left in the fryer a bit too long so were very hard and dark, but portion was generous. Halloumi burger and pie were nice (although didn't detect any ham in the chicken, ham and leek pie). Ordered weakest bitter and it arrived very cloudy. When asked whether it was usually like that waitress didn't seem to know (or even what it was called). Limited dessert menu and unfortunately salted caramel icecream was unavailable. Nice to visit pub actually in the village for a change, but while service was charming it lacked a bit of professionalism which could easily be improved

Went with my family in December 2022 shortly after the new owners had taken over. The service was good, the food was well presented and all three courses were delicious and enjoyed by all. Decided to pay another visit in January 2023 having been told by a villager there was a new Chef as the previous one had left. The menu was slightly different, the pie was off the menu but a rump steak had been added, plus a few other tweaks had been made. The service was good but the food was disappointing. The daily special of chilli was served in an enamel dish that you would find in a country vet's surgery back in the 1950's. Regrettably it was dry, claggy and had an underlying bitter taste. The other diners' were also disappointed in the presentation and quality of their meals, needless to say there were no clean plates returned to the kitchen. I really hope the new owners succeed as Hambledon residents can easily support a village pub/restaurant such as the Vine but the food offering needs to be worthy of venturing out on a cold and wet January evening. It's not the end of the world, onwards and upwards. Good luck!

Went to the Vine early December. New managers after the previous incumbents. The staff are very friendly but the food was very average. I have since heard the Chef has left so hopefully the next one will be better.

An amazing evening, wonderful hospitality and excellent food, the perfect combination. Thank you so much

Visited this brilliant pub with friends.Had a very delicious freshly cooked food.The staff and management were excellent.The atmosphere was very wellcoming. I thoroughly recommend this quaint pub in a very nice village. Well recommend this pub.KEEP IT UP THE VINE HAMBLEDON.👌👍

Visited The Vine again with a friend because it's such an amazing pub! The food was delicious. The bar staff were lovely. We will definitely be going back in the near future. The village is so very pretty too.

Ems Valley U3A Local History group were having a blue badge tour of the historic and photogenic village of Hambledon, so much history in a small place. Half of us met at the Vine and enjoyed lunch from a small selection on the blackboard. My cheese & tomato giant baguette with a side salad and delicious chips was extremely filling and almost defeated me. Several had fish, chips and peas. everybody enjoyed their meal and their drinks including a few who had just popped in for a coffee. The locals say the roasts on Sunday are very good too. Service was good from the only young lady behind the bar.

With a walking group of 30 and only one bar staff on who was great but boss awol. wait 15 mins for a drink and knew we were coming. Not many village pubs get 30 punters on a weekday nite.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The staff made our visit a breeze and can’t wait to return. Good old fashioned British pub with a lovely atmosphere.

Had an amazing night out with my fiends, the staff were very nice and accommodating, would recommend.

Lovely Sunday lunch with the biggest Yorkshire puds ever! It was all really tasty and the pub has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Will be returning!

Although a quiet Thu evening - The beer was good, the landlady good, the food good so good it is. We had one starter (to be avoided if you want a main!!) had the Nachos and although very good there were far too many (for...

Popped in for lunch for two. We both had sandwiches (choice of breads, fillings etc) which come with fries. Both were excellent. The lady behind the bar was great fun. I will happily pop back again (although sadly I live 90 minutes away).

This pub is located is a fabulous village and sadly the only one remaining pub. However, the staff are great and the food is amazing. This is 100% worth a visit and will be a good choice if you are doing a trip through Hampshire...

Called in to The Vine for a beer and met a young lady painting a wall. She quickly downed tools and served an excellent pint. The beer was crisp and clean, absolutely fabulous! Jess, the licencee, is an enthusiastic publican and fully understands what beer...

Thank you to the Vine for another excellent lunch. The belly pork bites were juicy and full of umami flavour and the fish and chips were really fresh and had a lovely crunch. The home-made tartar sauce and crushed peas were nice touches too. Keep...

Came here on a Saturday evening on recommendation from several family members who have been in the past. We were seated on a very sticky table, which was rather off putting to say the least. We were also seated very close to another table so...

Went last night and had a wonderful meal in the garden. The food was fantastic. We had the burger, pork belly and steak. Toni was very friendly. Will definitely be coming back.

the food was very good and the staff were very polite. Service was a bit slow but there weren’t a lot of people working so that’s why you suspect. recommend it, and support the local pub!!

I took a friend for unch at The Vine today as I had always had a really good Sunday roast there. I have not been for probably 18 months and found it was under new management. Unfortunately there must be a new chef too as...

Came here after many years of trying with different leaseholders and after the final lockdown lifting. Unfortunately it wasn't very good at all. Seems to be a long standing issue with this pub. Everything tastes like it is cooked in the oven. The steak was...

Ten months ago my last review after visiting The Vine I said I was licking my lips all the way home, a review much appreciated by the owner. My wife hàs never complained about a poor meal ever before but when she mentioned she would...

We enjoyed an excellent roast here today - great potatoes considering we ordered at 4pm - with lovely vegetables, tender beef and pork, extra gravy boats provided without us asking. And all served by the calmly friendly and efficient Kelly (very impressed she was holding...

We had only had a drink in this pub before. We were delighted with the food, atmosphere and drinks. The landlady was professional and very friendly. An excellent anniversary luncheon.

Lovely friendly pub. Our first visit and we will definitely be coming back. Food was lovely, generous portions, really delicious and served piping hot. The pie was amazing as were the olives for our bread and olive sharing starter! Would highly recommend this pub!!

We did a circular walk of Hambledon and had booked a table for Sunday lunch, as an incentive. Four of our party of seven chose from the roast menu, which came with plenty of fresh vegetables and extra gravy. One chose a salad, another the...

Our local pub and we’ve loved every visit for the last few years - friendly staff, generous portions, delicious food and amazing Sunday lunches! A great country pub.

Inside the pub it states Tuesday is 2 meals for £15, however on ordering we were told pub now not doing this offer My party were too polite to leave, and although pub apologised no reduction was offered Very poor and we shall not return

We had a family gathering of 18 people, the vine was able to accommodate us with 3 days notice, the staff (Kelly and Katie) were so friendly, loved the kids, and were so helpful. They helped make the evening a special one - would 100%...

I visited for a catch up with my mum on a Thursday evening and we were not disappointed! We had a selection of breads to start - all local fresh breads warmed and served with oil, balsamic vinegar and mustard, and a proper sharing size...

Came to try The Vine after reading good reviews. Don’t know if the normal chef was off duty but all the dishes we had were very disappointing. Don’t think we will be back.

Popped in here because I just didn't want to cook... It was actually steak night so there were quite a few tables eating.. Pie and burgers were consumed, mostly home made, very filling and tasty.. Good value and a real friendly local feel..

Lovely food, friendly staff and reasonably priced drinks. Presentation was excellent and food was piping hot. Menu a bit limited would have liked a bit more choice.

Haven't been here for many years ,nice food served and good service though the pub was very quiet in staying that i will return and hope for some of the same .

Met some friends and decided to pop to the local pub for a catch up and a drink.

Called in with friends whilst passing on our bikes. Sandwiches are outstanding. Delicious bread, generous fillings and lovely side salad. Also serves good beer.

Me my wife and 3 children stopped here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon.

We booked the Vine for Sunday lunch following a walk in nearby woods with our dog. It was a lovely day in February (17C) and we were looking forward to a good meal and a pre-dinner drink in the garden. We parked closeby the pub in the lovely village, ordered drinks and sat in the garden, which was small but comfortable. We ordered roast dinner's (beef and pork) and were really impressed with the quality and taste. Extra gravy came as standard and there was plenty of room between tables. Staff were really nice and made us feel really welcome and the locals were keen to tell us some stories to. We will return.

Had lovely evening. Food was great and a bit different. We enjoyed pork tommahawk and corn fed chicken. Great meals well cooked.

We are always looking for nice local places so our friends suggested the vine. We had never heard of it before or even driven past.

Came here on the 26th January with my family for my mums birthday and had an amazing meal. There was 12 of us and we had a lovely area all together and it was so nice and relaxed. Recommended by my friend Kelly stokes who works there and it was everything she said it would be. Highly recommend and will definitely be going back

We had an absolutely superb meal in this pub. The starter of mushroom and stilton soup was fantastic, and everything that followed was equally good. Service was slow, but everything is obviously cooked to order so some patience is required. A very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended.

Lovely decent pub grub lunch, super steak pie overflowing with beef and home made pastry in a pie with a bottom, delicious!

Lovely pub. Enjoyed a couple of drinks in the garden before enjoying a superb meal.

The Vine offers a great eating experience in a lovely setting. The pub has a good range of beers on offer including some of my favourites. The chef is highly regarded and produced great tasting food.

Ate here on a midweek evening as a group. Pub was quiet but full menu was on. Food was excellent and catered for everybody. Service was prompt and efficient. Would definitely come back.

Charming, atmosphere, tables spaced out well.

At the moment this pub is doing two mains (from a choice of about 6 on the blackboard) for £15 at lunch time. Our group had goat's cheese salad, cajun salmon salad and a pork chop with cabbage and mash. Initially we were told the meat dishes weren't on because the good local butcher hadn't arrived but he turned up in the nick of time so you are assured that the meat is freshly delivered and cooked. The food and service were both excellent and the landlady brought us back the money we had added for a tip to say we had paid too much - haven't had that said in a while!

landlord made us feel very welcome , when we decided to settle for a sandwich, he told us they were door stop size [he wasn't kidding] it was excellent quality, they have a selection of ale , and also serve a non alcoholic gin,nice pub,

We had to wait nearly 10 minutes before anyone greeted us although the pub was virtually empty. We ordered steak from the Thursday night Grill board which clearly stated 20% off. The steak was good. However, we were presented with a "full price" bill. When queried, the waitress, who ran up the bill herself, said something like "I thought it was odd"...hmmmmm...

Having negotiated the unexpected step down to the counter area where I asked for a drink, I then went for the Specials Board to choose my lunch - and tripped UP the step!

Can't recommend this place highly enough. Just been for Mother's Day lunch. They were super busy but still managed to give individual attention and the food came quickly and was absolutely amazing! They catered for me ( a strict vegetarian) and were more than happy to seat us somewhere quiet so that our dogs would be settled. If you want a friendly relaxed atmosphere with great service and food then I highly recommend this pub

Big thanks to Matt the Chef for an excellent sausage and chutney sandwich. Thanks Matt and lovely bar staff for helping us out in a hunger crisis - we'd ever so slightly missed the lunch cut off. Thanks for being flexible. A true country pub! We ❤️ The Vine! (Also shows the rugby )....... oh and does an excellent 10/10 Sunday Roast

Two meals for £15 best food ever served by Maria very friendly service. Will be back with friends and family

Just returned home from one of the best pub Sunday Lunches ever!! We have visited before and this pub continues to deliver. Superb quality of food, beef and pork along with fresh veg and all very well presented. Oh, did I mention the homemade pate for starters? Just as good! And all served by helpful and friendly staff. This pub manages to mix the feel of a local with a homely restaurant centred around the open fire! Well worth a visit.

Had lunch here. While they do two meals for £15 from the specials board, we were more tempted by the more expensive a la carte. My wife had "chicken delicious" and I had the Butler's steak. Both were very nicely cooked, though the steak, which was described as "pink" was actually properly rare, which was not a problem for me but may be for some people. The pepper sauce with the steak was absolutely delicious, and brought the meal together. Rather than mushrooms with the steak, I asked for mixed vegetables, which were nice and fresh.

After a long walk with rambler friends we finally had lunch at the Vine ,lovely country pub-restaurant Good steak pie, Barnsley chops Big portions,welcoming staff You can even get local wine!

Called in as visited friends down the road and meet with welcoming friendly service. As we had planned to eat out that evening we opted for sandwiches, I went for the Blt and my wife had the sausage with pear and wine chutney. I have to say best sandwiches we have had in a long time. They were all made with quality fresh ingredients and a little salad with citrus dressing. Saw some of the main meals and they looked very tempting.

I visited The Vine for the first time on Sunday with my husband and a friend. We were greeted by friendly, smiling staff. We had a typical Sunday lunch which was well cooked, the portions were a good size with plenty of vegetables. The starters...

We had a family meal for 7 humans and us 2 dogs who slept under the table. The food must have been good because there were no leftovers for us! The service was quick and the staff were friendly and attentive. My owners are vegetarian and say the wild mushroom risotto was excellent; the meat eaters said their ribeye steaks, gammon and salads were the best they've had in a long time. The desserts were also fab', including yummy sticky toffee pudding and hot cookie dough. Next time we'll order our own meal!

A traditional, quaint English pub. Traditional decor and furniture. Friendly & welcoming staff. Nice atmosphere. Very much a 'local' pub....

Tuvimos una estancia corta en Hambledon recientemente y nos fuimos a la viña un par de veces. La comida era excelente y gran valor (recomiendo especialmente el pastel! ) y nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos por el personal y los residentes locales. Divertido y desafiante concurso en la segunda noche que estuvimos allí, también! Apoyo este pub local porque sería una pena para una comunidad como perder un lugar como Hambledon encantador como la vid.

Hemos estado dos veces en este pub una vez para el almuerzo y una vez para cenar, ambas veces tuvimos una comida estupenda. La comida está recién hecha y realmente me gustó el helado, aunque en la noche visita la variedad de sabores eran limitadas. El personal era amable y servicial. Volveremos.

No habíamos visitado este pub para bastante tiempo, así que decidimos ir en oportunidad y ponerse al día con un viejo amigo que era de estados unidos. Fue una noche agradable, así que decidimos probar el jardín, muy decepcionante, claramente para fumadores y dueños de perros, aburrida y poco atractiva. Así que nos aventuramos en el interior, nuevo aburrida y poco atractiva. Miramos el menú y pensamos que deberíamos avanzar? Sin embargo y con miedo pedir a partir de un menú bastante simple y corriente. Sin embargo, para nuestra sorpresa, la comida era buena, disfrutamos de rack de costillas, chili con chocolate y pescado y patatas fritas. El servicio también era bueno, así que no disfrute de la comida. Volveríamos, no estoy seguro porque, aunque la comida estaba buena, era aburrido en términos de ambiente y estamos bastante local.

Sun shining decided to go out for dinner, my partner booked 7.30 at the vine, been before to have drinks and darts very pleasant but not eaten since it having new owners, can not fault the food steak and swordfish all cooked well, though starters choices limited, but I am pudding girl, my only gripe is that staff not as attentive as I would expect no napkins or offer of condiments when food brought out or coffees after meal, nice village pub for locals.

Beautiful country pub serving delicious, traditional food. Nothing pretentious about this place. Friendly welcoming staff, great atmosphere, superb food. Gone are the days of this place serving up overpriced a la carte food. The new new owners ( a young family from Wales I think) have gone back to serving up delicious traditional pub grub and they do it well. A fine example of a village pub sticking to its values!!

It may be me that's at fault - my expectations.I've been coming to the Vine for years (apart from when the village was inaccessible) and have seen many changes. I'd got used to it as a good gastropub, slightly expensive, a bit posh but always very pleasant.New staff (manager/owner?) was very welcoming but the food's not gastropub style or quality. No hand-torn, pan-roasted pork scratchings on a bed of fluted weevil juice, just yer basic pie n chips, etc.Huge Nachos starter between two was OK - but it was far more substance than class.The pasta dish was nearly as big as a bouncy castle and the stodgy bangers and mash would've made sure said castle didn't become airborne. If you want good ol pub food in 1980s style - or just a plain old-fashioned boozer, this will suit you down to the ground.The bill was reduced - not because of any complaint - but the guy was simply encouraging a return visit.

When we arrived, we were amazed to find there were only two other couples in the pub....which meant we could choose any table we wanted (but doesn't give rise to a brilliant buzz in a pub!)The menu was quite restricted, as its Sunday, with three roast options (one veggie) and a couple of specials (both meaty) and three starters if you wanted them.......I was a bit disappointed with the range of food on offer - however there is an adage about doing a few things really well - and their roast dinners were great!Three of us had the lamb shank, served with roast potatoes rather than the ubiquitous mash potato - one had the nut roast - all served with a Yorkshire Pudding that could be seen from space(!) as well as side dishes of carrot and swede mash, green beans and individually baked cauliflower cheese.It was all very good, lamb shank came off the bone well, spuds could have been a bit more crispy (but we are roast tattie aficionado's!) - the nut roast came with its own veggie gravyGood range of well kept beers and a nice Eton Mess for dessert (for the only one of us who has hollow legs and could still eat a single thing!)

Visited for dinner midweek.Very quiet,no atmosphere.Shown to a table which I had to brush all the crumbs away.Lit our own candle.Starter of whitebait was piled high,could have fed both of us and then some.Shin of beef was very good.Goats cheese plopped on cucumber and tomato salad.Compared to other local pub food,really disappointing.Would not make another visit.

The new menu at the vine is exactly what you want from a pub meal and exceptionally tasty! The nachos starter is delicious and perfect to have with your drink (and to share). Can't wait to sample all the other dishes on the menu! The new chef is great and the food is great too!

Can't fault a thing! Great drink, great food, great atmosphere and great location. Also a great location for business lunches (I've had a few) they have deals on food during the lunch time and free WiFi.

Sunday roast here is the best! Beef is the best, service is good, bit chilly sometimes but made up for with amazing food! Deffinetly go there!!

We are looking to move into the area from London and had driven passed the Vine a few times. The sign outside and name of the place gave the impression it was going to be a bit clinical, dressy and stuffy.It was far from that a really lovely country pub / restaurant mainly frequented by regulars and locals. A lovely old pub with an open fire and the village well in the middle of it.The service was attentive and friendly, the young lady that served us could show most of the other places we frequent a thing or two about decent welcoming service.The menu is not huge it has something for everyone good portions and it's cooked and presented well. Better a smaller Menu and every dish is quality?When we all have a taste of each other's food we know we're in a good restaurant!I do hope our move works out as I can see the Vine becoming a regular haunt.
