Currently staying here for our wedding weekend. We had a rather large booking for food last night before the big day. The food and service was amazing! We’d been given our own room which was great for everyone to be able to talk to each other and hear all conversations away from other tables in the restaurant. Can’t thank the staff enough for how the night went. They checked on us between courses to ensure the night was going well. I’m sure they would have been very accommodating had a problem occurred but everything was perfect!
Just to add the rooms are incredible. Extremely clean, little extras in the room are a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend and stay here again if we have another event or just want a weekend away. Thank you all again.

What a fantastic place! We really loved our time here and decided to come back next year. Very charming. Great room, great location, very friendly staff, lots of space. Breakfast was really tasty too.

Spaceous, characterful rooms in historic setting. Very nice bathroom, comfortable bed. We got the room at the top, which wasn't ideal. Got pretty hot but a air con unit had been provided. Breakfast good. Bar was busy Saturday night.

Pitifully slow and inattentive service. Never saw our waitress again after being served, so no chance to request the forgotten napkins, additional coffee, etc. and then another fifteen minutes to get our bill. It’s a shame, as the environs are lovely and the food was quite good.
**Second time's the charm. My wife and I had visitors from abroad staying nearby, so we decided to have dinner at The Old Vine and are happy to report that this meal experience could not have been more different from the last. The food was outstanding all around - roast duck, sea bass and the pie of the day - but it was the service that impressed us most, as our server was warm, attentive and a delight to speak with. As always, it's best to give places a second chance and we're certainly glad we did.

Great food just between the Cathedral and the High Street. We had a lovely meal with plenty of time to enjoy and catch up,
Mr. Maynard
Wonderful, cozy rooms with very soft beds. They have a very lively bar offering a wide assortment of hard and soft drinks. They also offer delicious coffee and very top-notch tea for non-drinkers.
Their restaurant offers amazingly delicious steak, very good salmon, and several other dishes as well. Their warm goat cheese, fig and walnut salad is very delicious. The decor is made of very warm, chocolate brown wood, and the staff had become friends of mine the longer I lived in this little town.
You could not ask for a better experience.

A delightful old fashioned pub in the centre of Winchester, close to the cathedral. I met family and had a tasty lunch of fish finger sandwiches and real ale. As the weather was fine we were able to sit outside.
The pub only takes payment by card (no cash)

Our room was huge and very nice. Obviously the building is very old but that's part of the experience, we quite liked it! The bar downstairs is very convenient and has a nice atmosphere as well. Good breakfast. I recommend!

Great food, beautiful dining room. Shared a baked camambert to start and really enjoyed the pie of the day, Venison. A lovely pub to bring friends to when they visit Winchester.
Geof Lawrence
Very good food and a good menu.
A group of ten went for lunch and everyone was pleased with quality and portion size.
My only criticism was, given that we had to pre-order, why was food so slow to arrive?

Had lunch here with family. Easter Saturday just walked in and got a table. Great location opposite Cathedral. Friendly service, good food and local ales. What more could you ask for! Recommend a visit.
Carolyn Gregory
Stopped for a breakfast hat fair day on the Saturday, the food was amazing, came out hot and everything cooked to perfection it really was a full plate of food and would come again and highly recommended
Compliments to the chef

Lovely, cozy room. Every need is seen to with robes, slippers, toiletries, coffee, tea, small refrigerator filled with water and other drinks. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are relatively quiet for being above a pub. Nothing is too much for the very helpful staff! Breakfast is included. It was ok. Standard pub fare. We had drinks in the pub, which has a genial atmosphere. Parking is difficult to find. We ended up parking in a garage blocks away after dropping off our luggage. I suggest using the back alley door. All in all, we had an enjoyable stay and would return.
Mark Barras
Great pub,restaurant, and hotel. Had Ploughman's lunch and pint of cider.
Friendly service and chilled atmosphere.
Andy Hunter
Only had a meal and coffee here. Had lovely Lamb shanks in gravy. Really tasty, piping hot and plenty of it. Located in the city centre there's plenty of hustle and bustle going on outside and was busy inside as well. Staff were pleasant, polite and helpful. There's street tables available as well which, despite the cold, were busy! Well worth a visit 👍👍

The staff have been absolutely wonderful. We travelled at short notice from Kent to meet friends coming from Somerset.
They were fully booked for lunch... so offered us a table in the bar then created a table in the restaurant for us. Our friends were 90 minutes late because of crazy traffic and the staff couldn't have been more relaxed and kind. Just wonderful... and the food was good too!
Phil Riley
Food was ok....tasted a bit meh. The cocktails for WCW were fantastic and the staff were great.......but, the food took a VERY long time to get to us, I know thry had a full night but an hour is a bit much for hot food of little complexity
Jonathan Ayres
Fantastic food and staff, excellent venue great inside highly recommend
Wendy Kessack
Really friendly staff, good food, some tables a bit small. Would recommend.
Paul Rennie
Stopped for a coffee and cold drink whilst wandering around the city. Delightful spot in the sunshine and could have easily spent all afternoon. Very engaging staff.
Abigail Brown
First visit for us today. We got a table outside which was a bonus but interior looked fab too, lots of nice areas. Service was friendly & prompt. Our lunch was delicious, salmon prepared perfectly � the coffee � was also delicious & the little chocolate � a nice gesture. Would highly recommend & we'll definitely return �
Wendy Brooks
This place is fab. The service was amazing. The food was fab
- my only complaint would be that the portions are massive! Share a starter they're huge!
Drinks are not expensive and the choice is really good. We'll definitely be back!
Bronja Haskell
Great food. Would highly recommend it especially the fish finger sandwich
Mike Matthews
Popped in for lunch, following a mooch around the cathedral. The décor, and ambience of the place was lovely and the food we ordered was great too! The steak and mushroom pie filled me quite nicely.
Robert Yates
Had a top lunch here today with my wife ,I had lamb shank that just fell off the bone .The only complaint is the desert was small but I'm a big eater ,who's eyes are normally bigger than his belly .My wife loved the feel of the dinning area and enjoyed her meal to.
