| This pub was one of the many Marstons pubs in Winchester due to their purchase of the Winchester Brewery which was just up the road from this pub. Sadly most of that estate has now passed to Greene King. Now selling Greene King’s Abbot and IPA plus a guest from Bath Ales in good condition, usual range of Stella, Guinness etc, There has been a modernization of this pub from excellent back street boozer into a bit of an identikit fake victoriana place. Lots of wood and modern etched glass has been used quite tastefully but not inspiringly. This divides the space up into a confused series of areas mainly given over to food service. I suppose the mix is about 60% food 40% drink. There is also a fair sized garden. The staff were young, pretty females but reasonably attentive, of course the place wasn’t too busy. Customers were a few family diners and well heeled thirty something foodies. Strangely the foodies were seriously discussing haute cuisine while drinking mass market lager and GK IPA, however I doubt they would have understood the irony of that. oldboots - 4 May 2009 11:17 |
| A bit off-the-beaten-track and all the better for it. A bit small inside, and short of seating. Mainly Greene King beers, but worth a visit. Reasonably priced b&b available - this would be a good place to stay. Trev - 3 Apr 2009 22:42 |
| Great interior and good garden and plenty of space. Garden definitely worth visiting. Food quality can very. Does the landlord have to be so casual in his greetings and at times it can be offputting. The other staff seem really friendly though. barforall - 7 Dec 2008 16:42 |
| The King Alfred is an excellent pub, well run with spotless premises (and loos!) The food is very good value for the money. They have an extensive menu and food service seems to be available more than in most other pubs. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is great. We would recommend it highly. lennyrue - 18 May 2008 20:33 |
| This pub largely retains popularity with locals thanks to its extensive beer garden and child-friendly play area out the back. Pub itself is not particularly special. Food can be above average but quality does seem to vary. bazza9 - 7 Nov 2007 16:46 |
