A traditional British country pub nestled in the picturesque village of Hursley, just outside Winchester. Hearty food, real ales, and a warm welcome for two-legged and four-legged guests alike.
Nestled in the heart of picturesque Hampshire, The Dolphin is a traditional British pub that perfectly combines timeless village charm with the comforts of a modern, open-plan restaurant.
Whether you're stopping in for a hearty lunch, a refreshing pint of cask ale, or a slow Sunday roast by the fire, you'll find an authentic retreat that has welcomed locals and travellers alike for generations. Our doors are open to everyone — children included, and dogs especially.
Plan Your Visit →Our kitchen celebrates the very best of British cooking — sourced locally, plated generously, and served with the kind of ease only a country pub can muster.
The cornerstone of our week. Slow-roasted joints, crisp potatoes, proper gravy and all the trimmings — served until they're gone.
A rotating hand-pump selection featuring Hampshire breweries and national favourites. Kept cellar-cool and poured with care.
From hand-battered fish and chips to steak and ale pie — the dishes that have made The Dolphin a Hursley institution.
Dogs are part of the family here. Water bowls at the ready, treats behind the bar, and a warm spot by the fire guaranteed.
You'll find us on Main Road in the heart of Hursley, a short drive from Winchester city centre and an even shorter stroll from anywhere in the village. Walk-ins are always welcome, but tables on Friday and Sunday get busy — best to book ahead.
