The Old Forge, Otterbourne

I know many contributers don't like food comments on this site BUT if you like a well cooked steak plus trimings and heavenly warm Chocolate Brownie and ice cream with one of the best pints of Draft Stella I've had in a long time, then give Old Forge a whirl. Some of us only visit pubs when eating and you just do have to accommodate us. Sorry if this causes offence.

The Green Man, Winchester

I go to the Green Man often over lunch, as it is local to my office. The food is taisty and the service very good. We go there because it is no smoking, and frankly smokers you'd better get used to it....

The Wykeham Arms, Winchester

Went to the Wykeham Arms last night (valentines Day) having booked a great table in the restaurant area at the front/far side. Met old friends who live locally and had a sublime meal with attentive staff in a homely atmosphere. Walking through the various rooms, everyone seemed to be getting what they wanted, I find it's difficult to combine dining and drinking in the same venue, but the Wykeham Arms has it just right. Whether you pop in for a pint and some crisps or a three course delightful meal, I would recommend this gem, & will certainly return in the near future. Even the two chaps who had been stood up and disappointedly shared the table for four nearby, seemed to be enjoying themselves by the end of the evening!!
