The Winchester Arms

Pleasant village pub in Trull. Landlord friendly, and engaging, cheap expansive range of beers and ciders, plenty of spirits, and an array of alcohol free drinks, along with 40 different gins. Tastiest pork scratchings I've eaten, no surprise they've won an award, and pickled eggs too! Free carpark. Skittle alley with a metal chimney coming out the roof, presumably for a wood burner, to keep warm when knocking over the pins. Woman taking orders in the restaurant, assumed to be Landlord's wife, friendly, attentive and hard working. We didn't book but they found us a small table, and we ate a filling, flavoursome pub meal. They weren't trying to be something special, and I think this was reflected in the cheap price, for what was good pub food, at a very reasonable expense. Unfortunately, the pub was lacking a little, no curtains hanging, no real fire, no mood lighting or music, and at times some pretty fruity language when I suspect they want families eating in the restaurant to supplement the bar. Perhaps not when there are girls having a bawdy night out? They were showing the Six Nations rugby in the bar, which was a bonus. We'll visit again, if for no other reason than to have a non alcohol beer with pork scratchings and a pickled egg on top!

Sadly I can't leave 6 stars but I would. Myself and my family of 8 including small children went for dinner and drinks as we were staying on Kibbear Farm. The food was exceptionally good and great value for money. Also a very wide drink selection including local cider from Sheppy's and a huge gin menu.
The staff were all very welcoming and we had the best time.

Ate here 3 times while on holiday and cannot recommend the food and service enough. The owner and staff were so friendly and went above and beyond to make our experience here fantastic. Thank you all so much.

I had my 60th birthday meals on a Sunday afternoon , Patrick the Landlord was so accommodating the food and staff were all superb we was a large party of twenty and every meal was spot on , thank you Patrick you and your staff made my day cheers well done 👏 ✔

A lovely local pub. The landlord is super friendly and great with kids. Sunday roast was delicious and a great selection of local beers.

Had a really nice stay. Very friendly, great breakfast, excellent location. Would definitely recommend.

We went there for our Anniversary and we had an excellent Sunday roast and pudding, would definitely recommend this pub,

We would like to say what a wonderful meal we had. We went to the Winchester Arms for a meal whilst staying with our friend. We were so impressed with the service and food. This is the best menu selection and service that we have found since having to follow a gluten and dairy free diet. The chef was very accommodating, making a special gluten and dairy free sauce and adapting the raspberry meringues to be gluten and dairy free. We will certainly be back next time we visit. Such a friendly pub and everyone made us feel very welcome.
