Food establishment 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.”

“Had an amazing time at Turtle Bay for bottomless brunch for my friend’s hen do! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was buzzing and the drinks started flowing quickly. A special shoutout to Eloise, who made the whole experience even better. She was incredibly efficient, always making sure our glasses were topped up without us needing to ask. She was also friendly and genuinely warm, checking in with us regularly and making sure everything was spot-on. The food was delicious and the cocktails were fresh and strong — you definitely get good value for money. Would absolutely come back again. Thanks again to Eloise and the Turtle Bay team for a brilliant brunch!”

“We visited Lucky Lychee in Winchester on two consecutive weekends, travelling all the way from London—and it was absolutely worth it each time. The satay beef and chicken were true standouts. Juicy, tender, and marinated to perfection, each bite delivered layers of flavour that were both rich and deeply satisfying. The meat was cooked just right, striking a balance between succulence and char-grilled depth. The grilled aubergine, courgette & fresh broad bean Malay yellow curry was another highlight—comforting, aromatic, and full of warm, layered spices. The vegetables were beautifully grilled, adding a smoky depth that balanced the gentle heat and creaminess of the curry. It paired perfectly with rice and had that cozy, soul-satisfying quality that makes you want to go back for more. The watermelon & cucumber salad with crispy pork cracking was a refreshing counterpoint—light, crunchy, and perfectly balanced. The watermelon was incredibly sweet and juicy, cutting through the richness of the pork crackling with a clean, fresh burst of flavor. We also really enjoyed the char siu pork—beautifully roasted, with a sweet, savoury glaze and just the right amount of caramelisation. The texture was spot-on: tender, juicy, and packed with that classic smoky flavour. The beef rendang with red pickle was another standout dish. The rendang was rich and deeply spiced, with melt-in-the-mouth beef, and the accompanying red pickle added a bright, tangy contrast that cut through the richness perfectly. One dish that truly surprised us was the sesame prawn toast. Unlike the standard versions you find elsewhere, Lucky Lychee’s featured lemongrass, adding a zesty, refreshing twist. Light and crisp without a trace of oiliness, it was a clever, modern take on a classic starter. Even the desserts were a delight. We tried the banana spring rolls, which were golden and crispy on the outside, with warm, sweet banana on the inside—simple, comforting, and very well executed. The cheesecake with pandan was especially memorable: fragrant, creamy, and subtly tropical. It’s a rare find in the UK and a must-try if you're looking for something a bit different to end your meal. Lucky Lychee serves up food that’s fresh, thoughtful, and full of heart. Every dish feels crafted with care and intention. No wonder we made the trip two weekends in a row—it’s that good. Whether you're local or coming from London, this spot is well worth the journey. Highly recommended.”

“Fantastic service. We loved baby club and after attending toddler club we will definitely be coming back regularly. The atmosphere is so relaxed and supportive.”

“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”

“We celebrate the birthday of our friend through dinner here. Such a cozy and relaxing location that offers a taste of Cyprus and Greece. The food was absolutely tasty. Too bad, due to our excitement we realized taking photos in the middle of our meals. The lady Adrianna, was very polite and accommodating. Service was good as the wait was just around 8-10 minutes. We were also able to speak to the chef who checked if everything was alright. To add, freebies for the kids and a take away box with a special meal was also handed to us by the chef. A must try to every one.”

“Such a wonderful experience dining at Asian Food Hall. We were wandering around town looking for somewhere to have a late lunch and all of the chain restaurants on the high street were rammed, so we decided to stray off the beaten track and check this place out. So glad we did! The staff were very friendly and the food and drinks were utterly exquisite. We had the squid and Vietnamese spring rolls to start, both delicious with fresh ingredients. The braised aubergine and tofu was phenomenal with an incredibly rich and mouthwatering sauce. The rare beef pho was similarly great with very tender beef, probably the best I’ve had outside of Vietnam. Couldn’t recommend this place more, we will definitely be coming back!”

“Recently stayed here on a weekend in Winchester and would definitely recommend staying at the Wykeham Arms. All the staff were excellent and very happy to accomodate us when we asked to check in slightly early to make things easier for us. There is parking at the back of the pub, but it's best probably to get there when you can as despite our early check in we had the last spot available. The room was excellent and very comfortable to stay in with great amenities. A small complaint here, the TV in the bedroom of our stay did not support any streaming from apps or devices and did not seem to receive great signal. We'd hoped to unwind after a long day by streaming something but we had to settle for using a personal device instead. But this was only a small inconvenience and didn't disrupt our stay at all. The free guest wifi was also very welcome. Breakfast was very good with excellent options on the menu. The portion size of the full english did seem smaller than expected but nevertheless tasted very good. The best aspect of staying here was the location, a very short walk past the Cathedral into the city centre, we had plans there all day so this made it very easy to access where we wanted to be. Would certainly stay here again and recommend it to anyone else.”

“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.”

“Fantastic pizza restaurant! Our children have allergies and they catered for them, made changes to their pizzas with no problem, and the food was absolutely delicious! If we ever visit the area again we’ll be back. Service was fantastic and prices really reasonable too. Great restaurant!”

“Had a really lovely bottomless brunch at the weekend. Sam our server was great and made it fun. Great pizzas and starters so it was a really good deal. Also - the building has lovely high ceilings so and the tables are nicely spaced. So a lovely venue, great food and great servers like Sam!”

“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.”

“Best brunch (or lunch) spot in Winchester!!! It's a weekend routine for us and for friends coming over from nearby towns to get some coffee and breakfast. Pedro, and all the rest of the team, you are amazing and we loved every single visit to Orangerie.”

“Fantastic friend service, lots of different ways to order and pay. They seem to have most things in stock, if not they get in for next day delivery or collection. I use the click and collect service which makes it a plesent and very easy shop to use.”

“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.”

“I had a wonderful experience at Zizzi Winchester today. The service from Noah was excellent — friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the meal. He made sure everything was perfect and made me feel very welcome. Thank you for the great service and warm atmosphere!”

“Great service from the staff. I went with my client who suffers from Parkinsons and when she was struggling to walk the staff helped us by giving us a wheelchair and assisting us with the shopping, thank you.”

“Really friendly and welcoming staff. Had an excellent creppe and felt they cared about what they provided. Place was clean and good price for what I had. Will come again!”

“We had booked a table for 8 of us for a family birthday celebration lunch. Some of our party were late arriving but the staff were very understanding and let us have the table for an hour before ordering our food. James, our server, was friendly and funny and kept us supplied with drinks and snacks until we were all together and ready to order. The food was delicious as always and the meat-eaters, pescatarians and vegetarians were all pleased with their choices. Thank you! And see you again soon…”

“Some of the best food I've eaten at a Restaurant. Give this place a Michelin star already! Incredibly tasty Scallops, Seafood curry and a 'Winchester Pudding' which was a lovely local touch and paired perfectly with the accompanying clotted cream. Yes, it's expensive but it's worth every penny. Special mention goes out to Ali Ali, our excellent waiter.”

“Amazing, came in under 30 mins, really friendly driver. They gave us extra sides too (was already good value). Very authentic, my fav Indian spot in Winchester”

“A goto place for Nepali and Indian groceries. Best thing I like here is goat meat which matches taste of Nepal.”

“Excellent excellent excellent, no fault at all, the staff from the beginning to the end were all helpful and happy to help. We booked the hotel ( 4 adult and a child ) for 2 night. We had a faulty safety lock inside our room made a phone call it was fixed immediately. The lady behind the breakfast food counter was very friendly and willing to help, "she kept on asking do I want anything which was nice", in short all the staff were nice and friendly. The hotel it self was very clean and neat, nice gym and spa, there wifi excellent. My highlight of those 2 night for me was the bed, it was clean, smooth and soft, I think my soul left my body dancing sleeping on that bed, best feeling ever. Definitely recommending and will be going back soon”

“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 !”

“Good selection of food and snacks for the journey. Good quality and reasonable prices.”

“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!”

“The Winchester branch has always been a busy site and yet the team are all very friendly and welcoming. Dan and Scott in particular have gone above and beyond in their customer services and their driver Rob is always a friendly face when delivering to my door. Keep up the amazing work.”
