Real Ale Hunter

Winchester Arms

Added by snaiperskaja [8 pints]

Spitfire, Hobgoblin, Oakleaf Holehearted, 1 pump unclipped. Woody traditional décor, heavy dark wood back-bar & high ceiling beams, round wood tables & sturdy chairs, chatty clientele suggests a locals local, and nowt wrong with that. Small tv showing Ireland-England Rugby Sat eve, my notes say ‘book corner, & decorative plates/tankards stylee’ whatever that meant? Walk round to the rear bar (or rather servery, no pumps here), a wood/fabric horseshoe banquette provides good seating for a large-ish group and, beyond this, a dartboard with its own space & oche. There is a large beer garden at the rear with a covered area for those of you wishing to smoke. The Winchester holds regular beer festivals with around 10 ales on sale each day.
