More about the pub

A Restoration era pub

Built in the reign of King Charles II in 1681, timbers from an old wooden sailing vessel were used in the construction, giving the pub its name. These exposed beams can still be seen in the Old Bar today.


Owslebury lies on the Monarch's Way, which traces the escape route taken by the then Prince Charles after his defeat by Oliver Cromwell at Worcester in 1651.

On the Pilgrim's Trail

The Pilgrims’ Trail, connecting Winchester Cathedral with Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, crosses the village, which was itself originally part of the Bishopric of Winchester. And we welcome horse riders and cyclists. We even have a sizeable horse pen in the gardens. (Thanks to Ramblers.org.uk for the photo, from 19.)

The Old Bar

Enjoy the open log fire, a game of darts, the tall tales of the village cricket team and other local gossip in the Old Bar. Dogs are served first.
