'Shaun of the shed' - Eastleigh couple's award-winning outhouse inspired by horror comedy boozer

An Eastleigh couple who built a Shaun of the Dead-inspired pub in their back garden have been crowned winners of Britain's Pub Shed of the Year.

Kev and Gina Marchant spent £10,000 creating their very own 'Winchester'.

It's kitted out with beer pumps, a stained glass ceiling, dart board and a poker table.

Kev said he and his wife came up with the idea during lockdown: "Me and Gina are both originally from Winchester. We were in a pandemic; and you had Shaun of the Dead which had its own pandemic so the idea came from that."

Gina said it was never part of the original plan: "We just thought we would have a little bar so we could entertain and have friends round.

"We didn't envisage it was going to be this big and this grand."
