The Crown Inn - Winchester

Lovely friendly pub with nice outdoor seating as well great staff and atmosphere

A very authentic and cozy place : the employees are nice, but a bit hard to reach. We probably came in a very busy time. The room was lovely and it felt like being in a 1700s movie. If you accept that the floors are creaking and the bed is not level, then you will have an amazing time : The atmosphere was excellent and dinner was great! They even have live music and sports.

Fantastic place, staff friendly and the food is beautiful

Pop in for a drink here quite regularly and atmosphere is a relaxed and friendly, but can become a bit loud in the evening. Have also had lunch and evening meals, which have been good quality.

Staff excellent, however!!! Prosecco was served at room temperature, replaced by staff, then new small bottle was slightly chilled and for a very small bottle £9.50.Now for the meal, I ordered ribeye steak at £22. Mushrooms cold, tomato not cooked, plate cold, staff apologised , replaced mushroom and tomato, again came out not cooked. Steak was fair but not good, as for what they call triple cooked chips, they are chewy and awful, the chef should hand the hat in!!!!My wife ordered steak and ale pie, pastry ok, gravy very thick, one vegetable which was underdone tough cabbage leaves.We complained and £15 was deducted from the bill.It’s such a shame lovely pub and staff very good, however it is all sadly let down by the awful food.
