For generations, The Chestnut Horse has been a beloved fixture in the idyllic village of Easton, on the banks of the River Itchen just three miles from Winchester, offering a place for locals and visitors to meet, dine, and celebrate.

Head Chef Joe Hibberd has curated a locally sourced menu offering a range of small plates, pub classics, sharing boards and signature dishes, all made with locally sourced produce and in an effort to support local growers. Enjoy everything from Avington smoked trout to seafood stew and from sausage and mash to steak and chips. 

The pub also boasts an extensive selection of local ales, ciders, spirits, and wines, including an English sparkling wine from the pub's neighbouring vineyard, The Grange, plus an impressive array of cocktails. 

The new village shop and deli provides a welcome addition too, offering everyday grocery goods and fresh takeaway items - whether you’re in need of pantry essentials or searching for that special treat.

The Chestnut Horse's new bedrooms have been restored with every attention to detail, drawing on inspiration from their history but with modern comforts, offering guests a relaxed yet refined stay. 

A versatile private dining area is perfect for intimate family gatherings or special events with friends, and there's a special club for neighbours called Valley Locals. 

The pub is part of the wider Avington Estate, with a beautiful stately home on the banks of the River Itchen, alongside Avington Lakes, a unique collection of self-catered properties centred around the historic and active fishery. The working family estate has acres of woodland and lakes to explore.
