I have to admit that I have never actually been into this pub! It is on the Romsey Road just past Peninsula Square going into the Fulflood area of Winchester. It does food, has live music and French conversation classes.
The pub dates from at least 1860, it is named after St James Street which is what the Romsey Road used to be called.

I'm sure they will serve you a free Guinness now when you have posted this photo!

ReplyDeleteIs that picture of the saint above to light the way to the tavern? :)
ReplyDeleteDina - No, That's Mr Henry Wadsworth, he was canonised for making such marvellous beer!
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy! Nice to see a local drop by the blog & thanks for the info on the pub sign!
ReplyDeleteGattina - enjoy Eastbourne - I hope it stops raining by the time you arrive!
Steffe - will pop in for my complementary drink after all this publicity :)
It used to be my local too, when I lived just off Oram's arbour! It has a really good atmosphere, we went there often - a couple of times we joined in with their quiz nights. They had log fires, which were great in the winter.
ReplyDeleteWe could do with a log fire right now, it's actually getting cold - what a great July!
ReplyDeleteI just love old english architecture. Wish we had pubs like that here in Helsinki.
