The Flowerpots Inn - Winchester

Absolutely love the flower pots, we come here throughout the year and it never disappoints. This trip was for Mother’s Day and it was fantastic.

Yes, I judged this book by its cover. After many drives past to its local competition I failed to see beyond the street front. What got me? The name, the drive entrance, who knows? Finally through word of mouth, we ventured to The Potts. Firstly, this long standing Brewery Pub has grounds to support hundreds not only for events, but also local foodie nights. The bar is racked galore with their seasonal beers. One meal and I was hooked. This clever Team have nailed a weekly rotation of pub grub hits, with a mixed Team of upcoming advanced Chefs, as well as long standing recognised pastry “Chief that pump out dishes as fresh as their 5.30pm Friday printed menus yep nice touch guys. I don 't know that we would call the acting front of house 'a front of house ', he remembers every single face that moves through this establishment, like a business owner but there is a twist, he welcomes all feedback, insights and recommendations to keep his experts on their toes. You call out anything, they will literally flip a dish and make it top notch week on week. Running staff are very clued up, they are fast, efficient, know the menu and most importantly speak up and take interest. The event space is a wedding venue hit, totally gorgeous and private. This 'little from the street front ' has 3 car parks and it 's no surprise because 'they are full people, they are full! ' Offering 3 bars, 4 dining areas indoors, a huge event space and lots of outdoor benches, this is an all year round favourite and the prices and vibe has kept me coming back.

Oh how I love independent pubs which are true to their origins. Fantastic beer and good, honest homemade food at reasonable prices. There is no wonder why on a Saturday lunchtime almost every table is taken by 12:30! Nice one and keep up the great standards

The Flower Pots provides a warm welcome with excellent real ale, attractively priced food and a real pub environment with log fires and locals!

A big thank you to Simon and his team for making Andys day that bit special, a very friendly and warm welcome ,fantastic Sunday lunch accompanied with very good beer's, and there's even a good dog walk afterwards.
