Reviewed By 648darrang - Pontypool, United Kingdom

I had looked this fantastic pub up in the CAMRA real ale guide and glad I did. It took me around twenty minutes, a lot up and down hill but well worth it. Great selection of ales and friendly barman. Locals were keen to talk too. This is a well kept pub. Classic alehouse

The Queen Inn

Reviewed By elizw86 - London, United Kingdom

We stopped for an un-planned lunch after a nice walk along the water meadows. We didn’t realise they did roasts before we arrived, as it wasn’t on the menu online (as far as we could see!) however thankfully they did! We sat outside in the sun, the service was very friendly and efficient - all members of staff were helpful and my roast was delicious! The lamb was lovey, the roast potatoes were perfect, there were fun extras like creamed leeks and Yorkshire pudding and overall it was a very pleasant stop-off! My husband had the steak pie and also enjoyed it thoroughly!

St James Tavern

The St. James Tavern, or the SJT as we are known to our locals and regulars, is a proper pub with traditional cask marque recognised beers and proper pub food. We're all about the 'proper'. Mix in some interesting bits and bobs, some funky lighting and some groovy tunes, and hopefully you'll like it lots and become SJT "regulars"... we want to provide you with the best a "proper" pub can offer. We are a pub who are proud to be just that, a pub. We are a great little boozer with scrummy food and well kept ales to keep your whiskers wet and your belly full! We welcome your little tots and furry friends (the well behaved ones of course!). We don't have any high chairs, nor do we offer a children's menu, though feel free to come down and enjoy an adult beverage and scrumptious lunch or dinner with your family - be it a little one or your canine friend. We have a quiz night on a Tuesday that could rival Mensa, a delicious brunch menu for a lazy Saturday morning, and regular pie nights and curry nights. Told you we were "proper"!

As a regular air bnb visitor to Winchester with work I eventually found the SJT.. What a great place.. I must have now eaten 30 plus meals here.. Not one of these has been anything but excellent.. The staff, the drinks are all great.. A brilliant quiz night every Tuesday, burger night on Mondays with 7/8 different incredibly tasty offerings, Wednesday is pie night all served with a fantastic selection of seasonal vegetables.. The prices are very reasonable for Winchester and the locals very welcoming too.. Thank you James, Ben, Seb, Gabriel, Beth, Debs and the mighty kitchen team.. Well done, keep doing what you are doing!!

A really great pub, well used by the well informed locals. A fantastic ever changing range of real ales. The landlady and staff always give a warm welcome. Dogs are welcome. No food available, but customers are welcome to order food in. Plates and cutlery provided at a small cost.
