The County Arms - Winchester

This was our second visit to the County Arms, and unfortunately, it was a stark contrast to our first visit. The first time we had a wonderful experience with great food, a lovely atmosphere, and attentive female staff who provided excellent recommendations. However, on this occasion, we were served by a male staff member who seemed completely disinterested and inattentive. We had to inquire multiple times about when our starter would arrive, and even after finishing it, we were left waiting without any acknowledgment from the staff. After waiting for our main course for an hour and a half, we were met with indifference when asking about its status, and ultimately decided to cancel our order. There was little apology and no offer of a discount to make up for the poor service. As regular patrons of Greene King establishments, this experience has greatly disappointed us and may lead us to reconsider our loyalty in the future.

The service was pretty quick, lovely staff and the food was really nice. Good price for what you get great portion sizes. It was also really quiet Wednesday night which is perfect to have a conversation without loud music and constant noise.

This spot is stellar for a night out! 10/10 recommend! The beers are cheap and bartenders are very nice !

The service is really friendly, and the food is of good quality. I like the manager, she's really polite.

After a lengthy hospital visit and feeling pressed for time, we opted to dine at the pub instead of cooking at home. The food was delicious and served promptly. Following Chloe's recommendation, I ordered the Katsu Burger, which turned out to be a fantastic choice. Thank you, Chloe! I will definitely be back for that dish. She even persuaded me to get a takeaway version for my son who was waiting at home. Overall, the service was excellent.
