Bar in

“Lovely space for dinner in their restaurant area, we then returned for a drink in the bar the next day. Great pub!”

“We discovered this pub on a walk some time ago, but understand it has now been taken over. Rang ahead and reserved a table for 4 for Sunday lunch. I had a very nice Sunday roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, my other half the lamb and our friends the fish and chips. All were good, but for me the starters were stand out, the Trout pate was just superb. Good beer on tap, nice wine selection from what I saw, though we didn't have any. The only criticism would be the slightly limited pudding menu, but that is being picky! Staff were fabulous, attentive without being over the top. Overall very nice.”

“The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. Danny is an exceptional bartender at O'Neils in Winchester. He always goes above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience for his customers. His friendly and welcoming demeanour aids the atmosphere in the pub making this a must-visit pub in Winchester. I highly recommend visiting O'Neils and letting Danny craft you a delicious drink.”

“Cozy, country pub, friendly staff and a lovely big roast dinner with tons of veg ?, perfectVegetarian options: Nut roast, loads of yummy vegetables too”

“Came for lunch as a visitor to the city for the first time.The food is fantastic here, vegan food 20 percent off on a Monday. Vegan choices are awesome, massive portions of traditional food- pies, sheperds pie, fish and chips (Vegan substitutes).The staff are brilliant! Really friendly and personable. Would recommend.d”

“Great pub with a really good atmosphere and very friendly staff. The food here is not only reasonable but also very nice to go with it. The decor is funky and different, the odd stuffed animal and lots of clocks and a wide variety of different bits and bobs dotted around all over the large sprawling pub. The garden is a functional space with ample seating in pleasant surroundings with plenty of greenery to break it up. All in all the Black Boy is just a good old pub, I usually drop in for a drink if I'm down that end of town. I can't recommend highly enough. ?”

“Follow Mr & Mrs R on TikTok. I’ve given this pub five stars because I feel it’s not the pub itself that is to blame for the bad beer. The young barman was obviously trying his best, but he probably wasn’t a nail drinker I wouldn’t know a good pint from a bad one.I could only assume that the barrel was either, a new and not laid to rest for long enough. He did pump air before he got to the ale entering the glass, or it was coming to the end. Either way he would not except that a customer with 50 years experience of ale drinking and unbeknown to him a member of camra might be saying something is not right.My advice to camra members is, try before you buy. It’s very rare that my wife and I walk out of a pub leaving our beers on the bar.A beautiful old pub it’s just a shame that the owners don’t seem to realise what a gem they have.The pub is in itself a lovely building and I can only hope that my experience was due to the fact that they were having a bad day.”

“Great beer and if you are looking for sport this may be the pub you need to go. Many ”

“Called in for drinks.Although it was very quiet at that time, the barman was brilliant. What a pleasure to have a smile and lovely coffee. Thank you. Makes a massive difference.”

“Popped in to meet a friend for drinks, the place was packed, tables full of food and smiling faces as they demolished their food.Friendly staff and a healthy stocked bar.Whilst there (Tuesday) they had a really good quiz on.”
