A modernised incarnation of an old pub, with painted-up woodwork and a tidy interior, which loses some of the character but is not totally unpleasant. At the back is a large courtyard area including some covered parts in old buildings. It does have a good selection of ales though (and Cask Marque accreditation) so worth a visit. Perhaps a little unfair to say it could be much worse, it is certainly better than it would be if taken over by a chain restaurant which seems to be the fate of many.

Popped in here for lunch after a business meeting. Pretty decent pub grub and a nice pint of Red Cat Prowler to wash it down with. Not knowing Winchester and calling in totally at random, I think we made a decent choice, would certainly call again.
