Bridge, Shawford

Hum.... yes, the pub has had a good makeover and despite the grime stains beginning to show through the white paint, there is an improvement.

However, a family meal was not enjoyed from the new chef and menu a couple of weeks ago. Following the very near disaster as the trainee waiter tried to follow orders and balance a tray of three and a half pints on one hand, there came 6 unsatisfactory meals which were over priced and really nowhere near the quality of the "old" Bridge.

It seems they are trying to take the food "up a notch" but are really nowhere near even the old notch. I could list the failings of the meals but that's for another time. For now, we do not plan to eat there again in the near future.

On a good note, the beer was well kept so there's always a silver lining.

The Fulflood Arms, Winchester

One of the most friendly pubs in Winchester and well worth the walk out to find.

Very comfortable since its referbishment, a great place to chat and enjoy a drink from the regulaly changing guest beers.

Well done.

Old Gaol House, Winchester

Had a meal in here this week. Yes, quiet slow service, the tables weren't cleared very quickly but the food was passable for the price and the pint of Ringwood 49ner was actually very good.
