We really enjoyed spending time both in and outside this pub. They do a nice pint of Doom Bar and the view from outside is wonderful. Also, this pub is very, very old. Worth a look.

Lovely place. Tiny, but lovely. A true find in every sense and a delightful pub for a pint.

Have to agree. This pub is nothing special. Especially bad on St Patrick�s Day. You can imagine the green flags�Not what I�d call a pub, more of bar you might find at the �Irish� zone of a Japanese theme park.

The Old Coach House Inn, Winchester
The landlord, if it�s still the same, is a delight. Sadly, the bar staff aren�t up to the job. The food is great during the day and its location is good. In the evening the pub becomes a little less friendly. The clientele aren�t exactly conducive with a quiet pint, if that�s what you�re looking for. Nutshell: have lunch there, leave before sundown�

The Dirty Duck, Stratford Upon Avon
A very unique pub... If this pub were a person it would have been knighted long ago. Its ability to attract the glitterati and the literati give it a well-heeled edge. The garden at the back is just ok, but the terrace on the front (which overlooks the river Avon) is a beautiful setting to sip a glass of wine. Faults: The queues are enormous post theatre, the food is overpriced (for the type of food you get) and the management seems to love every minute of their associated fame. A �Darling� publican! Yuk, nothing worse.

Too much to say about this pub! Frequently changed guest bitters, dogs snoozing by the open fire, an Irish folk group play on Thursday night (I think), and wonderfully unique d�cor. In the summer this pub opens its garden and serves delicious and interesting food, in the winter the pub belongs in the hobbits� shire. A superb place for a date, a reunion, a meal or just a quite pint after work.

This is a truly lovely pub. Its location is wonderfully unique and the pub itself feels like the centre of what could easily be considered a village of Winchester. Inside the pub the two large open-fires cosy-up the dimly lit bar. Very extensive range of wines. Check out the sausages for sale at the bar (they used to be 40p) and the mulled wine in the winter months. Saturday night's are very busy and Sunday afternoon's are very...Sunday. If you want to avoid the Winchester dons and their associated �elite� drink at the main bar closest to the entrance, as the side bar is where this rather creaky crowd congregates. Having said that, they all seemed friendly enough to me and make up a rather interesting crowd. A great pub.

Winchester Pub Hotel, Highgate
This pub is nothing more than an average - if not slightly below average - local. It has the space and architecture of a victorian london pub, but that's to be expected. Nothing wrong, but nothing at all special.
