The Hyde Tavern, Winchester

Uncompromisingly a proper pub with four or five real ales and one cider, a warm welcome and friendly staff. The landlady was even good enough to rustle us up some cheese sandwiches even though food is not on offer here. Dogs welcome too. A million miles from the identikit norm. and what a difference to the screaming kids and droning extractor fans in the garden of the nearby King Alfred.
