Crown & Anchor

I had lunch here one afternoon: a lady, American, alone. The staff was really nice, and the pub has a great atmosphere. Would go back next time I pass though Winchester.

Another year & stop off on the back from Twickenham, upped from 3 to 4 stars, still expensive, but it is Winchester, a lot more friendly this year. They could have been expecting us or maybe we were not as rowdy this year!
Not a cheap place to have a drink, but it is Winchester, for a number of years this has been a stop off point on the way back from the Navy/​Army Rugby match at Twickenham. The last two years have not been overly friendly, but there are new people runining it now and I do not suppose a coach load of Fans on a Saturday night is everyone’s joy, but it is only once a year. They actually have a Fish & Chip carry out service, which I think if due to the fact that the Fish & Chip Shop a couple of doors down has not been there for a while.

Terrible service. Very slow food. Everything bad about a chain pub with none of the efficiency or value to mitigate the vile staff attitude. Avoid.
