The Stable, Winchester

One of the bar and pizza chain. A large square room entered through curtains(!). Light blue painted brick walls, tables and benches – it’s primarily designed for short-stop eating. Two pumps atop the oddly high bar with one ale (a surprisingly very good Gales Seafarers), along with 16 ciders in the recessed rear. Not really a pub but fair enough for what it’s trying to achieve. If I was a cider drinker I’d probably be more motivated to return. But I’m not so I probably won’t.

A Cider and Pizza bar, numerous Ciders are available mostly bag in box arranged on racking behind the bar, but strangely only one perry on offer,there were some interesting pizza combinations on the menu as well.There are two hand pumps one was a strawberry flavoured Cider the other was the lone ale choice of Gales Seafarers which turned out to be a little on the green side but just drinkable.The Bar itself is a single room with canteen like bench seating with a slight nod to an industrial feel to the decor.there is a small upstairs section but I did't venture up.I think this will be of interest to fans of Cider and Italian fast food, but beerwise forget it.
