The Bishop on the Bridge, Winchester

The Bishop on the Bridge is a large building well situated on the bridge over the River Itchen with a great outdoor terrace space next to the river. It was decent enough but somehow I too was left a little flat by the experience. The beers are OK and four Fullers beers were available in the shape of Pride, ESB, HSB and seasonal Spring Sprinter. But I left thinking that this place with its room and good outside space should be utilised much better, and when compared to some of Fullers prime London locations, this one feels like not a lot of thought has been put into it. A more extensive range of Fullers Ales including a couple of guests would help for a start.

Disappointing considering it is a Fullers pub.

Very expensive pub in a pretty location (the rear garden is positioned by the river). Light, bright, airy and spacious inside, this must have been refurbed in the past 12 months or so and the toilets were exemplary. Disappointed to only see three Fullers ales on, and my ESB was fairly lifeless, sadly. Felt that it had more to offer than this, so will try again next time I'm in town. But for now, very middling points, and wouldn't particularly recommend it for a Winchester crawl if Fullers' pubs aren't a novelty in your area.
