The Wykeham Arms, Winchester

I visited the pub a couple of years ago, and hope to visit again this season. My partner and I were made very welcome and shown to a lovely, nicely decorated and comfortable room across the road from the pub. We had a dinner and breakfast, and the quality of the food was superb, far exceeding our expectations for pub food. I don't recall having to wait particularly long for service. It's a very charming pub, with bags of character, and a real joy to sit in for a few hours drinking good beer. It also made a useful base for exploring the city, particularly wandering alongside the college buildings, which are very attractive. A lovely spot to visit, I recommend wholeheartedly. Plus, they accept doggies - always a bonus.
