    Default Pub with accommodation, easily reachable by train from London

    Can anyone recommend a good pub for a weekend break, with accommodation, interesting real ale, and decent (needn't be fancy) food? It needs to be easily reachable by train from London (closer to London is probably better — we won't be able to get the train tickets a long way in advance and don't want to pay silly money).

    Edit: Ah, apparently we are more organised than I thought — we're going to Winchester and staying at the Wykeham Arms! So my question now becomes, if you had a weekend in Winchester, which pubs would you not miss? I don't want to do an exhaustive crawl, so maybe your top two or three?

    I've not been in the Black Boy but I would second the other two that Quinno recommends. Good pubs!

    I went through Winchester last week on the way to Bournemouth and was surprised how quickly you can get there from London so I will be interested to see what this thread throws up. Could be a day out in the summer.

    Yep, definitely The Black Boy that stands out as a "must do".
