Cafe in Winchester

“Outstanding!! The staff are quite frankly amazing! We had amazing food, Prawn Pad Thai, Jungle Curry and Jasmine rice...it was absolutely beautiful. My only complaint is that I don't live near Winchester so I'll have to wait until my next visit before enjoying this lovely restaurant again. Go, it's amazing!”

“This place truly is a gem tucked away in an industrial park! We came across this by accident browsing Google maps, and it’s clearly loved by locals as it had a fairly constant flow of people. We had some pour over coffee, and a couple of sweets that which were both delicious. The coffee wasn’t quite to our taste this time so I think I would have appreciated a bit more forwardness in the staff on the kinds of coffee beans they offer at the counter when we ordered, but they gave good advice when we asked about it upon leaving so I’d be happy to come back and try something else. The decor was very eclectic and cozy, though the sound of grinding coffee beans echoes in the warehouse style space - not necessarily a good place for reading or working but definitely a nice trip out. If you’re a coffee fiend and know your stuff you’ll definitely appreciate this place! It’s also dog and kid friendly.”

“Nice little community cafe, serving well cooked British food. It is around the back of the building so don't be put off that it looks closed from the front. Lots of free car parking.”

“I went there today with my daughter and friends, I have had omlette with mushrooms, peppers and cheese, it served with salad. I also had coffee. Everything was nice and fresh. Staff were friendly and kind. I absolutely loved it. I will definitely go back there again.”

“Emma was really lovely to chat with whilst I waited for my food”

“A lovely venue, traditional, beautifully kept, intimate for productions/ music etc. Great service Highly recommended for theatre going”

“What a gem to find on a wet Saturday afternoon. All the ladies at the back of the counter were superb matched only by the tasty pastries. Should we visit Winchester again (and we hope to do so) we will visit again and would advise anybody else to. 5* +++ thankyou”

“Best lunch I have from Winchester. Love this cafe. Plenty space indoor n outdoor seating but most of time it’s full so better to book in advance. Lucky I got table after 20mins. Enjoyed enough food n service by cool staff. Lovely atmosphere, make u feel fresh”

“Lovely setting for lunch. We sat outside and watched the world go by. The waitress was lovely and really helpful. They had a separate vegan and vegetarian menu with plenty of choice. The food was delicious, so were the cocktails.”

“Exceptional attentive but not over the top service from Arati at Winchester. Really busy fully booked restaurant on the Friday before christmas. Lots of large tables but as a table 3 we did not feel left out. Drinks came out quickly, really good quality and well priced food. Very loud atmosphere so 4 stars here. Will be back again for sure.”

“Sitting in conservatory, was very comfortable. We just had cappuccino and cake then later pot of tea and chocolate tiffin. It was very nice. Staff were excellent, carrying a tray of tea/cake for me and clearing table when needed.”

“Plenty seating, indoor and out, huge views over river. Smashing food all round, cakes, bakes, filled rolls, toasties. Coffee is amazing! Car park is small and always full, recommend using the park and ride over the road, or the most picturesque stroll from the city, across water meadows and riverside.”

“Had a very comfortable two day stay at this small and centrally located hotel. Rooms are clean, beds comfy, and bathrooms well appointed. A good selection for breakfast with a semi buffet and a la carte dishes included. Lovely large courtyard at the back to sit outside during the summer months. Service was very friendly and accommodating. Elsa in particular at the front desk was very welcoming and helpful.”

“It’s been 10 years since my last visit. Lovely food and atmosphere, staff were welcoming , kind and respectful. We had a great time !”

“Lily welcomed us impeccably. Myself & a friend used the sauna & hot tub area. It was a lovely experience. Lily continued to provide excellent friendly service throughout. We’ll be back. Thank you!”

“This is a spacious and family-friendly spot for a meal during your visit. It offers a range of food options, including hot meals, sandwiches, salads, and kids' meals, catering to various tastes. The café has plenty of seating with great views of the surrounding zoo and is perfect for a relaxing lunch break. While the prices can be a bit on the higher side, the food quality and variety are good. Overall, it's a convenient and enjoyable place to refuel during your day at the zoo.”

“Nice place to meet with friends for morning coffee and snacks A range of drinks at very reasonable prices. Very clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. There is a free car park and the cafe is at ground level with no steps .”

“A great local facility and Leisure Center that we have found so helpful to my husbands pre operation fitness and wellbeing . I’ve just joined the gym to support him too and have many other facilities available to me with the membership. Looking forward to feeling fitter and stronger ready for what we face in the future .”

“Such a good bottomless brunch! The food and drinks were amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect. Rebecca and Alexandra made the whole experience even better — they were so friendly, attentive, and really made us feel welcome. Definitely recommend and will be coming back soon!”

“A excellent cafe/bistro situated approx 10 mins walk from Winchester Station. It's a Hip & Happining place to enjoy your food. I had scrambled eggs on toast and it was lovely with a cup of pot of tea. The staff are all very friendly and very polite. Be aware it does get busy so get there early if you can. Most of the seating is inside.”

“I always love our lazy lunches at Josie's. Consistently good quality across the brand with great staff who diligently check for allergies and provide awesome service. Never skip the loaded tots!”

“Such an amazing place. The passion and knowledge from the owner and his willingness to share it all is incredible. Whilst there you can sip a range of unique and tasty drinks each made from ancient recipes with ingredients foraged or made by the owner.”

“Excellent Chandler's Ford micropub pub in a former shop in a modern building. Eight cask beers on handpump when I visited together with a dozen real ciders. A few tables outside. Very friendly and helpful staff.”

“Came here for lunch and I was completely blown away! Situated outside of the main town, this gem of a place was a really great find. Quality of ingredients was superb, especially the salmon. Prices were reasonable. Definitely recommend the peking duck roll, eel unagi & salmon nagiri. The menu has a ton of items so be prepared to be overwhelmed at first! There’s something for everyone. Server was really nice and attentive during our visit. 10/10”

“Delicious food lovelly staff and a home cooked cakes, possibly the cleanes food anniversary ever seen worth the visit .”

“Nice pub with a good selection of ales and cidar. Quirky decorating gives it an unique atmosphere. Fair warning, there are quite a few stuffed animals around.”

“Great local pub in Winchester. We were 4 adults and 1 child, and we had 2 burgers and 2 Sunday Roast. I had the burger and it was DELICIOUS!!! Friendly and polite staff as well, the atmosphere was cosy, the decor is really lovely. Well done St James Tavern!”

“I want expecting much having been disappointed on a previous visit (beer past it's best). Was happily surprised to see the pub buzzing - 4 ales on, the 3 I tried all in excellent condition, great Thai food (a regular feature) & live music downstairs. Good mix of locals, tourists & music lovers.”

“I highly recommend Bento! The atmosphere is cosy, and the staff team is always friendly and welcoming. Their Yaki Udon, Salmon Futomaki, and Swiss rolls are must tries. Their drinks menu is also impressive, with refreshing options that perfectly complement the meal. Whether you are in the mood for a fruity tea or a creamy milk-based drink, there is something for everyone. BTW I really love their Tiramisu Swiss rolls ❤️❤️❤️. If you are looking for a great Asian restaurant with delicious food and drinks, this is the place to go!”
