| Terrific listed building in the cathedral close. Although not a sparkling choice of beers, fairly mainstream casks and kegs, they're decently kept but a tad cold for my taste. Mixed generally friendly clientele enjoy the characterful but scruffy surroundings. There is a smallish front bar and a tiny back area which should be getting renovated soon, lots of wood panelling and exposed (very old) brickwork. Quite an eclectic range of furniture in the back room, which is just how it should be. The ladies is upstairs but the gents is at the back in a sort of lean-to affair. oldboots - 4 Apr 2009 14:28 |

| ok pub, neither good nor bad. Beer was ok but unexciting, Pride, Ringwood Best and Old Thumper, Flowers Original. scarer - 12 Oct 2008 17:23 |
| Visited on a sunday evening - 2 people in bar us. The beer was quite disgusting and warm (fosters - not hard to keep) We were not acknowleged at all and received very bad service. I will not be retuning here. beermonster1984 - 16 Sep 2008 14:18 |
| Typical example of favouring locals over the visitor. I am Swedish, but I live near Winchester and I brought a couple from Stockholm to the pub for lunch yesterday July 21. The place was empty but for two old ladies. We put our orders in first, the ladies five minutes later, then an old man came in and ordered plaice after another 10 minutes. The ladies got served way before us, and even the old man got his plaice before us although he ordered 15 minutes after us. The bartender insulted me by saying I should go to Marks & Spencer across the road if I wanted fast food. I had ordered slow-cooked casserole which is prepared in advance. My friends ordered sausage with mash. It does not take 35 minutes fry a few sausages. In two weeks I will take more friends to Winchester to see the cathedral, but I won't take them to the Eclipse. The bartender thought I was a tourist like my friends were so he got the kitchen to cook the food for the locals first. The bartender lost a good customer. The food was all right, nothing sensational, the service was beyond scandal. The bartender even forgot to serve us our wine because he was busy talking football with a few regulars. I won't become a regular. I will never come back to that pub. soderlind - 22 Jul 2008 19:30 |
