Wykeham Arms

Step into Winchester’s best-kept gastro‑pub secret — The Wykeham Arms awaits you. Nestled between the cathedral and the 14th‑century college, this award‑winning pub with rooms blends timeless heritage with contemporary flavour. With 13 consecutive years of AA Rosettes under its belt, it’s the go-to destination for foodies, romantics, and local explorers alike. This snug space has a bucket load of character, sporting panelled walls lined with vintage photographs, knick-knacks and books, as well as its many accolades. 

At the heart of our appeal is a seasonal, locally sourced menu that reimagines classic pub fare — including our signature Wyk Pie, delicious home comfort dishes and delicate desserts — all served in elegant surrounds. Pair that with five cask ales on tap, a handpicked wine list, creative cocktails, and fine spirits, and your tipple game is sorted.

Stay the night in one of our 14 luxurious guest rooms — many with roll‑top baths, one with four-poster bed, and kitsch period charm. Every stay includes Egyptian cotton linens, mini fridge with complimentary drink, artisan coffee, and plush toiletries.

Got an event to host? Our first floor Wykeham Room (seats up to 26 / 40 standing) is perfect for private dinners, celebrations, or corporate evenings. We’re also licensed for intimate weddings in our beautiful Saint George space, offering elopements in the cellar to garden ceremonies.

This Christmas, dine under twinkling lights or host your festive party in style — book early for our special seasonal menus.
