The Old Bowling Green

This is a lovely old pub we eat on Thursday and Friday night best were the pies and sausages lamb rack was a little tasteless bar service ok but a bit chaotic a times.

A really homely pub with tasty traditional food. The atmosphere was very laid back, the music was at a nice volume and the service was friendly. We would definitely visit again.

Great place. Still feels like a good old fashioned pub. Lovely open fires. Huge selection of drinks many local brews. Great Sunday lunch. David and Marilyn fantastic hosts. Lovely staff in a beautiful village that’s great for a weekend away. Pub not open Mondays or Tuesdays

When staying in charming Winster it’s such a pleasure to dine here. David and Marilyn are wonderful hosts the food is hearty and delicious (great pies! and the bar is cosy and relaxing. Do book on Friday and Saturday evenings. Thanks for making us always feel so welcome and we look forward to our next visit.

Really enjoyed a couple of meals at the Old Bowling Green, including a delicious Sunday roast. Beautiful decor, friendly owners and located within the lovely village of Winster. It is however, closed a lot of the time which is a shame when you’re on holiday. A lot of hikers walked past the pub and seemed disappointed when it was not open for a quick lunch and a pint.

A lively village pub near to the cottage we had booked for a weeks holiday, not open very often but we went there for a meal on our last night. Not an expansive menu but good variety and the food we ordered was lovely and good portions of quality product. The puddings were the star of the show, we dont normally bother but on a cold wet night they certainly hit the spot.

After several visits, this pub cannot be faulted. There is a warm (literal and metaphorical) welcome and one is not rushed. After ordering, there is sufficient time to enjoy a drink before the meal is served by local teenagers who are extremely polite and efficient. The beef roast dinner was delicious as usual, as was the dessert. It has to be one of the best Sunday lunches around thank you.

We went into this welcoming pub on two occasions whilst staying in Winster. The first night, a Wednesday no food was on offer but the staff came around with free sandwiches and bowls of chips! Unexpected and very welcome. On the second night we had a meal. There were seven of us (we booked a table) and all agreed the food was excellent. This is a lovely, homely, welcoming pub. I wish it was MY local!

We stayed in Winster for the weekend in a cottage which we shared with our family. we booked dinner at The old bowling green having read some reviews on trip advisor. we were not disapointed. there was a good mixture of locals and strangers eating there that evening. All were made to feel welcome not just the regulars which was appreciated. Its a very old pub with character and a very cosy feel to it. We were very satisfied with the whole dining experience.
