In a city that is host to such fantastic pubs like the Black Boy, Hyde Tavern and Wykeham Arms, there is absolutely no reason why you would want to go into this dingy, pikey-infested place.

Not very good if you are over 6 foot tall, the Hyde Tavern is another of Winchester's gems.

The sort of place that pikeys and oiks dislike so much (see earlier reviews); a civilised atmosphere, great beer and excellent food. One of the best pubs in the UK.

One of the best pubs I have visited and certainly Winchester's best. Great beer, good food, quirky decor, nice atmosphere. What more can anyone ask for?

The Bishop On The Bridge, Winchester
Good food is the main draw of the Bishop, along with the lovely terrace in the summer months.

This pretty pub and hotel is the focal point of the village of Buttermere. The bar serves local beers such as Black Sheep and the excellent Butteremere Bitter. Food is generally a cut above standard pub grub, although my friend's meal was cold and my dessert rather uninspired. An excellent place to wind down after a walk on the hills. The Fish Inn next door is also well worth a visit.

Although the interior of the pub is not nearly as pretty as the neighbouring Bridge Inn, a range of beer that includes the local Jennings and Thwaites breweries, plus the exceptional Coniston Bluebird (not to be missed), make up for this. Standard pub grub; non-smoking; walker-friendly. Defintely recommended.

Reasonable food and a couple of local beers on tap but otherwise this is a rather bland pub, seemingly unable to decide whether to go down the trendy gastropub route or remain a traditional boozer.

Royal Oak, Winchester
The old part downstairs is nice and quiet but the rest of the pub is bland and generally over-run by an ungainly mix of under-age drinkers, students and pikeys.
