Crown And Anchor

5 stars! I was really impressed with this pub. Having celiac for 6 years this is the first ever pub I've been in which have a amazing gluten free menu. When I go out I always feel like I'm limited to my food and left out because everyone's got different food to me. It was a amazing feeling to go in here and have a wide range of options and eat the same thing as everyone else!. I will be recommending this pub and definitely going back. Cant wait to go back to try more of the food!

I visited here for dinner twice with my lovely wife, who is coeliac. Almost all the menu was gluten free. Pies, scampi and lasagne, which are normally big no-no's for her, were all available on the menu. The food was tasty and only on the first evening were the peas cold. The beer available on tap was great too, with their very own beer as a bonus.

The bar staff were lovely, the menu was limited being a Sunday. I had the mini duck spring rolls which was just the tasty lightness I was after. My friend's large vegan roast looked delicious! We were super lucky to beat the rush that arrived just after us. It was a really good spot to stop for food & drink on our way back to the carpark after a mooch around Winchester.

Unexpectedly luncheon. My friend had the beef and Stilton pie and said it was the best pie he had eaten in years. Sadly, the fish was frozen and not fresh. Not much fish. The potato wedges were delicious. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The lady on the bar was really lovely and made us very welcome. Pity the tables in the front were reserved, not that anyone had arrived when we left. Looking at people playing pool while we were eating was not that great. Place was clean and tidy as were the ladies bathroom.

Friendly more friendly than most Greene King. Bitter was good. Shame about all the flags pronouncing their colours so to speak, no pub should be political, we don't need it who you support ie rainbows or certain countries around the world is your affair but don't wave it in my face....it can put some folk off.

Happened to walk past and saw a gluten free menu was advertised. They were very accommodating considering it was a Sunday. Gluten and dairy free roast was available which is very rare to find. Tasted amazing. They even had gluten and dairy free desserts but unfortunately we were too full! We will definitely be back again! Thank you so much.

Went in for a light lunch and received a warm welcome. We had both types of spring rolls, the small fish and chips and a fish finger sandwich. The chips were top notch and the sandwich much larger than expected and exceptional value as it had a small salad with balsamic glaze. Drinks fairly standard selection.

A classic English pub in the heart of Winchester. The host who runs the pub does so with great spirit and verve and really makes you feel welcome from the moment you step through the door. Food is delicious with an amazing choice of dishes including an incredible vegan menu (just turn the menu over if you're on the other side) full of plant-based classics. Vegan 'fish' (battered banana blossom) and chips absolutely delicious. Vegan pie of the week - which was lentil and mushroom - was also a really tasty winter warmer. Absolutely great food. Just make sure you reserve a table ahead of time; with the Winchester Christmas market absolutely packed and crowds in the city dozens of people were being turned away because there were no unreserved tables available. Thoroughly recommended.
