The King Alfred Pub

We had a really enjoyable stay here whilst attending the national hospital radio conference at the University. We were impressed from the very start, the pub is in such a lovely, pretty area and looks charming from the outside. We had a warm welcome despite our arrival being in the middle of a busy Friday night it was no trouble at all. The room was absolutely wonderful and beyond my expectations for a pub. Lovely, cosy decor and the bed was even comfier than a Premier inn and that's saying something!! Lovely touch to have good quality biscuits, tea and coffee on hand and my partner really enjoyed the granola. The bathroom was lovely and clean and a great size, with a lovely powerful shower. Despite some other reviews we were really surprised at how quiet the room was. We are night owls anyways and stayed out until after last orders. It soon quietens down after that so we had two great sleeps. The staff are an absolute credit, making us feel at home and were really friendly and great to have a laugh with. We had two lovely meals as well and some great wines and Thatchers which was very well kept. Pies are awesome and the Sunday roast was something else. 👌 Yes it's not cheap but you certainly get great quality for the price which is appreciated. We would love to come back to Winchester to explore some more and will be sure to stay here again. Thank you. 😊

The hotel was fairly close to the town centre we arrived before the pub was open so couldn't park the car there as you need a on street permit so had to go to the town centre car park. The room was cosy and we had a very nice evening meal we tried their pies, the pub was busy with a good atmosphere only a small criticism was the 10 percentage charge on the bill that put a glass on cheap wine over £9.00.

A hidden gem in Winchester. Cosy room with some nice touches like real coffee and a mini cafetière. Friendly staff, and the pub itself does great food. The TV was damaged and had a line across the middle, which was a bit annoying, but obviously we didn’t book the hotel for the TV! Excellent value and a nice place to use as our base for a few days while visiting family.

Not what it made out to be. Room/Bed size too small. Breakfast not up to what could be expected.

Fabulous location in a very quiet residential area. Literally 5 minute walk into the city centre. Pub is quirky , warm & welcoming. Our room was spacious , very comfortable beds & fabulously clean . We were treated to loads of tea/coffee , yoghurt, delicious granola, muffins & fruit for breakfast..perfect ! Shower was powerful & hot . Wifi good. Not a complaint but rooms now in need of a little TLC . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Came for a few drinks and a meal. Lovely cosy, traditional pub. Staff really friendly and welcoming. Good selection of real ales and a nice French merlot. Good food at reasonable prices. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

Laying in a comfy clean bed, after a lovely day in Winchester but unable to sleep at midnight because we can hear every word, every step of making tea and all with the tv on, in the next room. Definitely not peaceful so we are very disappointed and obviously not as lively as the people in the next room!!

Very good lunch, a welcoming pub that has the feel of a 'local' but also friendly to 'outsiders', seemed a good mix of ages, families, friends and most especially dogs that like this pub. Very busy when we went (booked beforehand) but never had feeling of being rushed, they seemed to accommodate everyone, the children were convinced it was a filming location for Harry Potter but it just had that look about it..it was the sort of place that if Hagrid popped out the gents noone would have batted a eye.

Exceptional customer service. Happy, helpful and worked so well as a team. The menu could be a little larger and varied but would still come back. Lovely atmosphere with spacious table planning. Lovely experience.
