My husband and I recently had a brewery tour with some friends. Barnaby was a great host and we all enjoyed a brilliant tour. The bar area has been well designed and is very welcoming. The home made cakes were delicious too. I would highly recommend a tour or just to pop in to have a drink and cake.

Visiting Winchester and saw details about Farmers Market, wasn't sure what to expect but so pleased that I went. Firstly, free parking on Sunday in Winchester, (Thats a bonus). Secondly, the value for money on all meats is great. The veg is huge, home grown & best flavour. Some stalls had meat cooked to try and the cheese stalls had samples so could try stronger flavours which were fantastic. Bought loads of varieties. I am planning to go again soon but will be taking a cool box for the meats to stock up. examples of whats available is Vension, buffalo steaks, breads, pies, veg, cheeses and plenty more.
