Wykeham Arms

Wykeham Arms, Winchester
Traditional pub in the back streets behind the cathedral. The pub has two main bar areas and a couple of dining areas. Some of the seating is formed of old school desks and there are many old college-related items hanging on the wall.
I haven’t eaten here recently but the food has always been good in the past and one time when I mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary they gave us a bottle of champagne.
20 years ago the Wykeham Arms was an Eldridge Pope pub. Eventually it was taken over by Gale’s so it is now a Fuller’s pub. The beer has always tasted well kept and the selection is mainly Fuller’s but Gales HSB and Seafarers are usually available
You can stay here if you want to but it’s quite pricey. I used to always come here to watch the 5 and then 6 Nations rugby matches as the atmosphere could not be beaten, but they don’t seem to show them any more – I don’t know why.
