The Hyde Tavern, Winchester

A good old pub, really nice Bowman bitter. Didn't eat as weren't serving at the time, but looked a nice cosy pub to get a traditional pub meal. Cooked by the Landlady no doubt. Will be visiting again. Foodybloke

Brigadier Gerard, Horton Heath

We popped in for a quick beer & pub lunch, and i have to say the beer was very nice and well kept. Service was good, although not all staff seemed happy to be there. Food was of a good standard and piping hot when it came. Quite an extensive menu as well. Worth a visit for a pub lunch. Foodybloke

The Fox and Hounds, Fair Oak

We have been trying out a lot of pubs in this area as we have just moved here from Dorset, and have found this web-site very valuable. We have found some real gems.
Unfortunately The Fox & Hounds is not one of them. My beer was off (End of Barrel apparently!) so was the next one, my wife's wine was warm and a bit vinegary. When i complained i was made to think it was my fault!! We should Have gone then, but were hungry and wanted to give them a chance to redeem themselves. I felt like we were being transported back to the nineties, microwaved, bland, tepid, flavorless. Come on guys, every other pub in the area offers great locally sourced food, not bought in rubbish. Even the dessert tasted bought in.
Will not be going back for sure. Cost �40 as well!!!! Poor
