Winchester Eclipse Inn

Came here for a lunchtime pint and sandwich. Excellent roast beef and watercress sandwich. Washed down with a couple of pints of Timothy Taylors landlord. Log fire,friendly staff and two minutes walk from the cathedral.

What a lovely place we had a lovely meal and the service was fantastic, we had a beautiful room upstairs in this very old pub ,the manager set the table up beautiful ,would definitely book this again well done to all the staff thank you

1st weekend in December. Very busy place to be. We were fortunate to get a table for lunch 2 days: sandwiches, croquet monsieur, pies all very good. Staff really under pressure but didn’t let it get to them and managed brilliantly in difficult circumstances. Great place if you can get a seat! Ver carta

Excellent beer, great food, lovely staff, fantastic pub. Use the toilets at your peril. They must be as old as the pub itself. Much more frightening than the ghost. I cannot remember any men’s toilet quite so disgusting. It needs sorting, this is a health and safety disaster waiting to happen.

This is one of the most haunted pubs in Britain. We never sensed anything paranormal but enjoyed the pint in first floor where was Dame Alicia Lisle the last night before she was beheaded the next morning. The room is for private rent now (birthdays, celebrations... but it was quiet when we were there.

While looking around Winchester on Saturday lunchtime, we decided to stop at The Eclipse Inn. We were glad we did, as the food was really nice and reasonably priced. We had sandwiches and chips and they were delicious. Definitely recommend and the Inn itself dates back to the 16th century and has a fascinating history! Ver carta

South African Lad working there was extremely loud, abrasive and rude. I did not think this was ethical or professional from management to allow this kind of sexual behaviour in front of customers. I will not recommend my friends or family to visit for the mere fact that this behaviour is extremely embarrassing to the Winchester community. We used to like The Eclipse but more and more people are talking about a selective amount of staff creating a bad image of the place.

Popped in for a quick drink and something to eat for lunch and so glad we did! What a wonderful little pub with such friendly staff really made us feel welcome. We had the soup of the day and the fish cake from the starter menu and they really were superb! (Generous portions, there’s no way I would’ve been able to eat a main following this! Definitely will be back next time we visit Winchester not to be missed! We might even meet a ghost or two next time as I understand this is supposed to be haunted!

My wife and I were looking for a place for Sunday lunch and we went in on spec having walked past it many times. The Sunday lunch menu was very small, beef, chicken or veggie but there were other items on the menu. In the event we both went for beef and it was MAGNIFICENT! The best Sunday lunch I've had anywhere. Everything was perfect, glazed carrots, roast parsnips, roast potatoes with crispy outer and fluffy inside and a separate dish of cauliflower cheese to feed six. The chef came out to check all was good and was a lovely man. Ver carta
