The Albion, Winchester

Having a pub this awful near the station is not a good advertisement for Winchester. Perhaps the council should consider closing it down in order to safeguard Winchesters good name should any visitor have the misfortune to wander in there on their way back to catch the train home

Bakers Arms, Winchester

Those that can't get served in the "Gaol House" (Wetherspoons) will be most welcome in the Bakers Arms.
Need I say anymore ?

Old Gaol House, Winchester

This pub is a typical "Spoons" pub.
A good selection of beers at good prices and value for money food. Unfortunately like most of the other "Spoons" the bar staff are poorly trained, there are NEVER enough of them behind the bar and the service is appauling.
I will only go in there if it is very quiet as the performance of trying to get served is just not worth it.

White Swan, Winchester

I have been walking past this pub for the last twelve months due to its somewhat chequered past. However, today I decided to check out what the new management have done with it. The two girls behind the bar were cheery and friendly and I ordered a pint from the selection of real ales and the Roast Beef Sunday lunch.
The service was very good, the beer was in first class condition and the Sunday roast was plentiful and very tasty indeed! I also got change from a tenner!!
I will not be walking past this pub again and I am looking forward to working my way through the interesting varied menu over the next few months.
Highly recommended and well worth a visit in my opinion.
