Excellent pub on the way between the railway station and £chester city FC.

Plenty of choice beer wise and a pub well worth visiting when in Winchester.

Really very pleasant but small old pub just off Winchester's main drag. Serves an ever changing collection of cask ales from microbreweries locally. In generally good order, I don't really recognise Chavez Man's criticisms other than to note it is a pub that isn't really geared to his market. Scores a very high (and rare for me) 9/10.

A lot of other people agree with me - this pub is CRAP!! They just can't be bothered reviewing it on this website

Great choice of beers, usually something new to try whenever I go in...

It has countryside opening hours - we were rather miffed to find it closed for business on a Saturday lunchtime! I have heard the hype and would love to see if it lives up to it, but I suppose it'll have to be another time.

No don't put this out in the country, it'd be full of hoorays, and the excellent sausage and mash would be about £12, not the great value it is now, a whole review without mentioning the beer sorry

One of the best pubs on our pub crawl. 6 ales and stowford for the wife. Only downside is that they dont do food.

Great real ale pub with plenty of character. Good selection of pumps. Enjoyed my visit.

Friendly, attractive pub with excellent beer, only slightly let down by the collection of annoying games machines and TV.

Congratulations Karen on your brilliant debut on national television.You looked so poised and nerveless as you stated your case so eloquently and put across your points.You looked as if you belonged on TV.Suzannah was my favourite but not any more!They should give you a job

Karen, Wonderful!!!! David and ... murdoc? This is fantastic news, hope all goes well with the final ruling. Monopolies are bad for us and making so many millions when we are all skint, pubs are suffering with a smoking ban and now lack of money to go out and it must be a struggle fro you to keep going. I can't stand football personally but hate to see pubs close because we'd all loose some friends if we didn't see them regularly for a night out. Well done to you for your efforts. Fantastic!!

Well Done Karen and your legal team, you stood by your principles and I hope and pray the result later this year is positive for you. I feel this will be a great year for Pubs especially with the demise of some of the Pubco's too - Next time I visit the clan in Pompey will pop in for a pint or two.

go there for the beer but don't go there for the food. Last time I went there it was horrible food. That only needs to happen once for me to never go back.

Nice place. Very busy on Friday lunch time, service was efficient. Good pint and the steak and mushroom pie was excellent.

Always have a soft spot for this pub, and head there if ever I want a drink in Portchester. A little more expensive than the others localy but it is a little bit nicer.
Will always make a beeline for it on Christmas eve, no matter what.
