About us

The Fisherman’s Haunt, nestled on the edge of the New Forest in the tiny hamlet of Winkton, was originally built in 1673 and dates back to times when smuggling was rife in these parts. Once called Plaish House the pub was extremely popular with fishermen due to its location overlooking the river Avon

Around the 19th century the pub was rebuilt in brick and the thatching was replaced with a more modern roof, then in 2008 another round of restoration and modernisation took place, including an expansion, to become The Fisherman's Haunt as it is known and loved today.
