For character, for something different, for dusty knick-knacks and off the wall, you have the Black Boy pub in Winchester.
Then, at the time of my first visit, there was the bread & butter pudding. Although it was no longer on the menu, when I went back for more six months later.
It is an interesting and quirky pub, furnished with old tables and chairs, and decorated with an eclectic mix of art, clutter and taxidermy.
Offering real ale sourced from Hampshire as well as a small, carefully sourced wine list, the Black Boy is a traditional pub where the quality of their beer is what really matters to them.
Despite that, the kitchen serves up a good traditional pub lunch along with the usual selection of sandwiches and homemade soup
The main courses change daily and can be found on the menu written up over the fire place. Whilst the sandwiches are made with bread sourced from a local bakery.
