Winchester’s Best Local Pub

Our pub brings you all the hallmarks of a traditional British pub in the heart of Winchester, expect a properly warm welcome, great beers and ales, and gloriously good food to boot – as well as 10 charming bedrooms.

Think crafty pints (with a good chin wag thrown in) at the bar, sociable cocktails in the courtyard garden, working lunches (where the food is as good as the WiFi) and the very best Sunday lunches, with all the trimmings (in Winchester, at least).

Our bedrooms are jam-packed with original features, hotel-y mod-cons, and some gorgeously characterful touches. Perfect for business trip stop-overs, or Hampshire staycations with the whole family (including your four-legged furry friends).

Landlord Ben and his team look forward to welcoming you to the Westgate.
