The Wykeham Arms
An old pub open since 1755, tucked between the cathedral and Winchester College, serving meals made with Hampshire produce.
Located at 75 Kingsgate Street and welcoming guests since 1755, The Wykeham Arms is described by Harden's as "a Winchester institution", with excellent food, drinks and atmosphere. The menu focuses on local Hampshire produce, including lamb pie, slow-roasted pumpkin and sage ravioli, and a shared tomahawk steak for two. The interior is filled with old curiosities, making it a good place for lunch after visiting the cathedral or the college, or for a pint. Reviews vary somewhat, and booking is recommended for dinner. The average cost is about £30–45 per person.
