The Hampshire Bowman - Winchester

This pub is flawless! It offers delicious, classic pub food in a traditional and family-friendly atmosphere. There are plenty of games to enjoy, a cozy fire, and a play area in the garden. If you're looking for pretentious food or a place to be on your phone, this is not the spot for you!

Great traditional country pub with fine ales and ciders and the wine was good too! Excellent choice of Christmas fare.

Over the last two years, my two brothers and I have taken our elderly father out for lunch at various pubs in and around Bishops Waltham. The Hampshire Bowman stands out as the best in every aspect - from its wide selection of beers and ciders to the quality and value of the food, as well as the atmosphere, location, service, and pricing.

We had the bread and dips board to start. A large board of warm, fresh bread and delicious dips, plus a whole jar of olives and some dolmades. Excellent. Then mains of ham, eggs and chips, the burger and a lamb shank. All delicious and plentiful portions. The lamb shank had a great amount of meat on it. Service great. Setting great. Just a fabulous place!

We stopped by for a quick lunch. We ordered two burgers, one ham, egg and chips. Both were generously sized portions and very tasty. The burgers were juicy and delicious, and the chips were crispy. We also had one beer, two soft drinks, and a side of cheesy chips, which came to a total of £59. Despite being busy, the service was still great.
