The Phoenix Inn

The Phoenix Inn is a family-run traditional public house in Twyford, near Winchester in Hampshire, England. According to its official website, the pub has been run as a family pub since the Mundy family took it over in 1981, with Reg and Anne Mundy as landlord and landlady and their son Paul as chef. In 1984 Reg retired and Paul took over as landlord, continuing the family tradition. The current landlady, Emma, began working at the pub at the age of 14, progressing from pot washer to chef to landlady after she and Paul became partners in life and in business. Following Paul's sudden death on 24 November 2019, Emma continued running the pub as a family-run establishment in his honour, starting in January 2020 alongside her youngest son Tom. The Phoenix Inn positions itself as a community-focused local ale house. It offers six to eight traditional and locally sourced ales on handpumps and states that it has support from CAMRA and Cask Marque. Food is served at set times, with lunch and evening service on most days and a Sunday service; the pub is closed on Mondays. A hardwood nine-pin skittle alley can accommodate up to 40 people comfortably, with direct access to the beer garden in summer. Outdoor spaces include a heated front patio, a large grass area, and a marquee for undercover eating. The pub is located in Twyford, a village in the Winchester district of Hampshire. It operates as a private, independent family business rather than as part of a large pub chain or brewery group. Its identity is closely tied to its long-standing family management, its real ale offering, and its traditional pub games and garden facilities.
