Completely brown, all juice had left it and it was bit like eating hard brown sawdust. When I enquired whether it was standard practice to overcook the beef to this extent (as it is in Canada, where that is required by law) I was told it was corporate policy. I ate half and gave up as it was a pretty terrible experience. I will not grace their premises again. Perhaps other food is better but I suspect most of their proteins will similarly be ruined by their corporate policy. Waste of an hour of my life to drive over here.

The menu offers a great selection, but I have to say, if you get anything other than the carvery on a Sunday (and now Tuesday nights!), you're obviously mad. It's delicious! The children's menu was generous, with all the usual offerings. It has a beautiful garden with picnic tables to the back, plus a brilliant climbing frame for kids. One bank holiday we went, there was also a bouncy castle, which made for very happy (and ultimately hungry) children. Service is what you'd expect from a pub, but I have to say, one waitress we had while sat in the older part of the pub (mind your head on the beams!) really went out of her way to be helpful and friendly. I look forward to any excuse to visit this restaurant, it's always a nice, relaxing place to go.

This makes it not a bad place to be when Lyn is at the shops!! This pub has been around since 1910 and was a combination of two pubs next to each other. The Dolpin is belived to date from 1648, whilst the first date known for The Anchor is 1768. Quite bright inside and has the usual JD's menu which is served up by cheerful staff who know how to manage a 'Husband Creche'.! My compliments to JD Wetherspoon for the high standard of their toilets. Wherever I use this chain, the toilets have always been immaculate.

The outside looks so incredibly presentable and awesome with all of the various types of flowers. Everything looked so organized and clean and the inside looked just as good! We sat at a table inside and the young woman who was our server was delightful! She was so genuinely sweet and such a hard worker. A couple people in our group had some food allergies and she was so on top of it the whole time checking to make sure that they got food without their allergens. For my entree, I had the "homemade steak and ale pie" served with fresh veggies, homemade ale gravy, and a blanket potato. My entree was excellent! Everything about it was amazing. It tasted completely homemade and delicious! The pie was so flavorful and the veggies were done perfectly! I found good veggies really hard to come by in England, but the Golden Lion hit it spot on! My husband had the "battercrisp haddock fillet" served with chips and mushy peas. I have to say, I had a taste of his...and these were THE BEST fish n' chips that I have ever tasted in my life!!!!! And I've tasted A LOT of fish n' chips in my life, so that's saying a lot. It was so tasty! Not greasy, perfectly cooked, the fish was super fresh and it was far superior to any other fish n' chips that I had ever tasted. Overall, great ambiance, super friendly staff, amazing food, and fair prices! If I am ever back in Winchester, then I will definitely be back to Golden Lion! I would highly recommend!

Great Pub! My…read moreco-workers took a bunch of us here for lunch to experience a very traditional English pub. The Royal Oak did not disappoint. Both the beer and food was terrific. My fish and chips was served on old newspaper (a nice traditional touch). The building looked very old from the outside and yet the inside was very clean. The entrance is located on the beach, and I mean literally on the beach. The water is actually a stone's throw away. I've got to imagine the tide water rises up to the front door whenever a storm surge comes into town. In the front is a nice long bar with many beers on tap. In the back are some separate rooms and the kitchen. We sat in a back room and it ended up working out great for lunch. I'd definitely return again.
