Brimming with charm & character, the Wykeham ought to be on every visitor’s itinerary. Think roaring winter fires, wooden furniture – including old school desks – & a jaw-dropping array of memorabilia (enough to tell the town's entire history) that fills every wall, nook & cranny in the maze of rooms. Yet, despite the Wyke’s popularity, it manages to remain a real local, loved for its friendly atmosphere, weighty wine list, well-kept ales & quality food. Daily-changing menus (lunch being a lighter affair) are driven by prime, locally-sourced produce like a roast rack of Hampshire lamb, perhaps served with a redcurrant & mint jus & accompanied by a panache of market vegetables & dauphinoise potatoes.
