   We had the most amazing succulent lamb shanks served with mash, fresh vegetables and gravy. The portions were extremely generous, but as the food was so delicious we managed to eat everything...bar the bones. Great value for money and washed down with a nice pint of Fireside ale. Good pub atmosphere and friendly staff. We will definitely return.

   An absolute treasure of a find, so good we came back twice in our holiday. Gorgeous pub and with a very decent selection of gluten free food. The Sunday roast was insanely good, would recommend. Came back for lasagne and gammon egg and chips, really good.

   Hands down the worst pub food experience I’ve had in a long time. I ordered the “buttermilk fried chicken burger” — what arrived was a greasy mess. The batter was soggy, tasteless, and sliding off the chicken because the whole thing was drowning in oil. Completely inedible. I sent it back and was told that "if I wanted another fried chicken burger, it'll be the same as the previous one"- inferring the standard is to drown the plate in oil. Despite the pub being reasonably quiet, it took 35 minutes to get a replacement (I opted for a beef burger). The beef burger I ended up with was bland and also a challenge to eat (had half and couldn't take anymore). My friend and I also witnessed the lady who was running the food and taking orders cough into her hands on multiple occasions in between running the food and taking orders - disgusting and unhygienic to say the least! Save your money and time and go literally anywhere else.

   We were visit Winchester overnight and spotted the Anchor and Crown across the road. We popped on and had a delightful meal which was fully homecooked and delicious. Service was wonderful, the staff are so friendly and up for a chat. Throughly enjoyed our meal and time there.

   I am new to the area I came across this pub by accident and I’m so pleased that I did. I have given five stars and each star is on merit. I was met with a warm genuine welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The bar was spotless. The glasses were spotless and the landlord showed me the vast array of choices to drink. I chose a Guinness. It was brought to my table and beautifully cold and drawn. I asked when the kitchen was open and I was brought over a menu which looked delicious. They pride themselves on fresh produce and cooked in house. I ordered fish and chips with mushy peas. The fish was beautifully fresh. It wasn’t dry. The batter was delicious and not oily. The chips are beautifully cooked tender in the centre and crunchy outside. I highly recommend this little gem. I look forward going back I have added some pictures.

   Happened to walk past and saw a gluten free menu was advertised. They were very accommodating considering it was a Sunday. Gluten and dairy free roast was available which is very rare to find. Tasted amazing. They even had gluten and dairy free desserts but unfortunately we were too full! We will definitely be back again! Thank you so much.

   Went in for a light lunch and received a warm welcome. We had both types of spring rolls, the small fish and chips and a fish finger sandwich. The chips were top notch and the sandwich much larger than expected and exceptional value as it had a small salad with balsamic glaze. Drinks fairly standard selection.

   A classic English pub in the heart of Winchester. The host who runs the pub does so with great spirit and verve and really makes you feel welcome from the moment you step through the door. Food is delicious with an amazing choice of dishes including an incredible vegan menu (just turn the menu over if you're on the other side) full of plant-based classics. Vegan 'fish' (battered banana blossom) and chips absolutely delicious. Vegan pie of the week - which was lentil and mushroom - was also a really tasty winter warmer. Absolutely great food. Just make sure you reserve a table ahead of time; with the Winchester Christmas market absolutely packed and crowds in the city dozens of people were being turned away because there were no unreserved tables available. Thoroughly recommended.

   We had lunch here yesterday. I am gluten free and my husband is dairy free. They had a lot on the menu that we could eat. The lady running the pub that day was fantastic. Friendly and efficient. We sat outside in the garden. Food was good. We would definitely come back. Thanks for taking good care of us!
