A very old pub. Quick quiet pit stop mid afternoon so it was quiet. Efficient service and had some regulars in who seemed very at home creating a friendly atmosphere. Lots of phone calls whilst we were there for booking evening meals so sounds popular but food wasn't served at the time of our visit. Toilets for the ladies were upstairs and the rickety old uneven steps definitely give you the taste of how old this place is or how careful you need to be with the amount you drink!

Went for a trip to home town today, a history reminder of Southampton. This beautiful old public house has so much history. The staff were so happy and helpful, polite and funny. The food was good quality and reasonably priced. A clean friendly place to go. Bar billiard's table upstairs and a lovely parrot called Molly. If your in Southampton and want history and atmosphere visit this old pub.

Fun, history filled pub on High Street. Typical pub fare. Friendly staff and good beer/ale selection. Pub dates back to the 11th century, and had historical significance as the trial of the conspirators to kill King Henry V took place here just before Henry marched of to Angincourt.

Old school pub on the outskirts of Winchester with a beer garden. Nice array of options, especially for me as a vegan. Had the vegan roast, which was a pie (not just a pastry lid), which was very tasty, and lovely rich gravy. Pleasant staff and big portions. Very dog friendly too!

The outside doesn't really give you a clue to the inside... It seems really small as you walk through the door but then it opens up to the ceiling, quite incredible and completely unexpected
It has more of medieval hall vibe than a pub
It has a large open fireplace at one end, above there are 3 knights in armour.... Exposed beams and lots of original details...It's dark and atmospheric.... I loved it, just didn't expect it
We didn't eat here but the food looked amazing

Steak and Ale pie.
Lovely wedge of steak&Ale pie all tender bits of beef that falls apart In your mouth and full of flavour along with some nice crisp pastry. Very filling and tasty, been having this for years now 😋
