The Ship Inn - Winchester

What a fantastic gem of a pub.. great food good choice of drinks a true country pub

Delicious rare roast beef; the rest is just ok. Suggestion: use warm plates; the meat was cold by the time it got to table cos the plates were cold!

Always a friendly and warm welcome at The Ship Inn. Absolutely love their chicken supreme, the food is homemade with a good selection of choice and is always hot and fresh. Highly recommend and there is a good size car park too,

I often travel here for an evening meal, today I took the plunge and tried the pie of the day , which as it happened was chicken and bacon. The pies are made by the owner, a Romanian fellow with a name I can not pronounce, much less spell. But the pastry! OMG this is the finest pie pastry I have ever tasted. I 'm no expert, but I 'm guessing he uses flaky pastry for the pies, rather than the usual shortcrust or puff top. We do have to educate him however about gravy. You don 't serve beef gravy with a chicken pie! Not in England, anyway!

Excellent food and nice atmosphere. Local beer was good. Very pleasant landlord. Ample parking. All well kept.
