Always enjoy coming back to The Old Vine - this time it was our first post-lockdown meal. Menu was quite short but we were both very happy with our choices, very nice cooked food and efficient friendly service. have recommended it before and very happy to do so in the future.

Lunch after lockdown 2. Fast and efficient. They didn’t get out booking through opentable even though we had proof of the booking. So we were in a back room which was quite characterless but the food and service were excellent. And had we been in the main pub it would have been 5 star all around.

Excellent COVID related service (thanks to Jason) that was the best we received during our 3 day trip to Winchester. Top quality beer as you’d expect from a Fuller’s pub. The premises are clean, well looked after and in close proximity to the cathedral.
