Your new-look Winchester local pub

Our recently spruced-up 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 Winter cocktails by the fire, 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.

It’s everything you want from a UK holiday – a beer-garden-ready, food-and-drink-filled break – all wrapped up in one easy-to-book bundle of joy.

Watch the World Cup at Westgate

Here at Westgate we’re super excited for the biggest sporting event of the year.

We’ll be showing every game of the FIFA World Cup 2026 live on our big screens in the pub. Expect great food, perfect pints and an electric atmosphere that you just can’t match at home. It’s the place to be in Winchester this summer.

Walk-ins are always welcome, but if you want to bag the best tables, make sure to book ahead.
