Food establishment in Winchester

“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.”

“Well staked shelves. Fresh produce was very fresh. Staff very helpful as they helped shopped as I was running late for my hospital appt. The young guy at check out very polite asked if found everything and if we needed help. Super customer service”

“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!”

“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.”

“An excellent independent coffee shop with healthy food options combined with treats as well, all round better than the processed food found in chain stores. You can buy their coffee beans along with other healthier produce. Outdoor seating set within the courtyards peaceful surroundings. Lots of open parking spaces. A go-to coffee stop if your travelling through Hursley ☕️”

“Fantastic spot for a morning coffee! We visited on a Saturday morning, easy parking outside and dogs are welcome. Great selection of drinks, cakes and breakfast options. Cater for gluten and dairy free - vegan blackcurrant crumble was delicious! They also do gelato which we will be back to try.”

“Although Winchester does have a number of pizza restaurants already, The Pizza Tavern is a great new addition. As it's not a big chain, you're getting great quality pizzas and supporting a local independent business. My pizza was delicious, and I thought it was very fairly priced for the quality. The service was friendly and efficient, and I liked the rustic setup in the restaurant. It's not somewhere I feel you would go for an 'evening out' as when I visited, there were not any starters or desserts offered, but it is great for a quick meal if you're out and about or at the start of an evening out. I will definitely be back.”

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

“Always well stocked. Interesting products. Variety. Can usually get a £1 bag of stuff like cauliflower or mushrooms past their best to make into soup or stir fry. We come here at least weekly. Love it.”

“We were looking for a carvery and was recommended The Forge by a friend. First time here and they did not disappoint! The meats and veg were lovely, generous portions and cooked well. The puddings were astounding, I had the brownie and ice cream, it was unreal! Just look at that presentation, it made me say "wow" when the waitress brought it over. We had 2 drinks 2 meals and 2 puddings all for £37, I think that's an insanely good price! The atmosphere was really nice as well, we had a great night, thanks! 5/5* would 100% recommend!”

“Came for lunch on a week day, wasn't expecting too much but given the car park was nearly full and the pub was quite busy I had better expectations and I wasn't wrong, the team were friendly and helpful. They have a good range of beers and drinks, the wine was of a good standard too. The show stopper was the food, I had venison, my wife the chicken, both dishes were delicious, frankly I could have eaten anything listed on the specials board, we left very happy!”

“Lovely cosy pub. Been here a few times for Sunday lunch and the food is amazing. Very good service. Parking is limited though”

“Very tasty tacos in centre of Winchester. Really nice vibe. Dog friendly. Key thing is all home made. The tacos were so soft and fluffy and the fillings had real flavour and depth. Nice bar space inside with wide choice of beers. Would definitely go back.”

“The best burgers me and my mum have ever had. We had half each of the shredded chicken and beef brisket, they were both absolutely devine. I could not recommend eating here more. Even the chips were beautiful. 100% will return. These really just aren't any burgers !!!”

“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”

“Well made pizza. Good ingredients and amazing service. Thank you nazia for great ordering.”

“I’ve visited Winchester so many times and I can’t believe how missed this place before. My dining experience was enhanced by the welcoming atmosphere and attentive service. The staff were knowledgeable about the menu and eager to ensure that each guest had a memorable dining experience. The prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. The sushi was an absolute highlight of the meal. Each piece was a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to quality. The fish was incredibly fresh, almost melting in your mouth, and the rice was perfectly seasoned and held together beautifully. The attention to detail in presentation was impressive. Highly recommended for sushi enthusiasts!”

“Great for the shirt game, lovely setting good price for golf lovely ambiance bar food, etc. Highly recommended .”

“We had an excellent pizza chicken wings and the coleslaw is top notch!!!! Collection was super quick and the team were super friendly, if we were local this would be our weekend treat spot for sure!!! Thank you guys!!!”

“Authentic and amazing Thai food at very reasonable prices! We enjoyed a variety of dishes, and each one had clearly been made with such care and attention to every ingredient. Tender prawn tempura, flavourful Thai spicy sausage, chicken in a delicious garlic and pepper sauce and last but not least the incredible weeping tiger- the beef was perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing. What a delight to find such a charming restaurant in our area! Thank you for a delicious meal and great service we will be back.”

“Such a little gem serving amazing and high quality food and coffee. One day we went we had to wait a little for the food, but the owner stopped by our table to apologize and offered us some drinks on the house. The staff is so lovely and the atmosphere really makes this a must visit. They also sell some amazing products from small vendors”

“We had delicious bubble waffles today, and the staff were happy, on request, to add different combinations to what was on the menu! The food was reasonably priced and the staff friendly! We will be back for another treat at some point! We had an oreo bubble waffle and a peppermint aero bubble waffle.”

“Came there with my mom and ordered a beautiful sushi platter for two. We had it in as there was a small but nice space available to sit at. The fish was fresh and very nice”

“We went to the Little Kitchen Bistro right after it had had a face lift, and they did a great job! The ambiance is amazing, despite it being a very busy small cafe ,and they even took the styling right through to the bathrooms....an area many cafes/restaurants forget. The service was attentive and, we thought, timely given how busy they were. The food was divine and, if you live in Winchester or are just passing through, you would do yourself a favour by calling in here for a drink and a bite. Once you've eaten, you can also get some Froz ice-cream, which is a treat with so many delicious flavours. For our breakfast, we had Smoked salmon, scrambled egg & avocado on sourdough, and the Fulflood Breakfast - hash brown, two slices of bacon, Cumberland sausage ring, home made baked beans, roasted cherry vine tomatoes, two fried eggs & toast (granary, white or sourdough). The salmon meal was delicious, with a generous serving of salmon, perfectly cooked eggs (which tasted free range) and nicely seasoned avocado...none of that bland mash you get elsewhere! The full breakfast was hearty and very flavourful, with the sausage being super tasty, and the homemade baked beans having an unctuous umami flavour profile. Totally crave-worthy!”

“Recently visited Winchester and found this gem of a place which sells the best hot chocolate that I have ever tasted. P.S will be coming back for some more!!! Absolutely delicious, 5 stars”

“Visited for a networking event and absolutely loved it! Super friendly team and loads of things to do, will definitely be back!”

“Lovely garden & smoking area. Inside is a traditional pub & looked like the locals use. Had a good choice of cask ales & the granddaughters loved the hot chocolate. We'll definitely visit again & try the Sunday Roast.”

“Family of 4 went for a Sunday roast after doing one of the Ambling Path walks around the area. Was really lovely, huge roast dinners and my son had macaroni cheese from the kids menu. Out kids are 11 and 8 and the kids meals were plenty big enough and really good value. Staff were friendly and the garden and play area outside are stunning. Good value for money too, we will definitely be back ❤️”

“We decided to pop out for an unscheduled dinner out… Our server was Hannah H and she was superb! Very friendly, helpful and efficient! Our food was lovely and arrived promptly. All in all a fantastic experience, thank you!”

“I have to say, this is easily one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever been to. The service was outstanding – the staff were not only friendly but genuinely attentive, making us feel welcome from start to finish. As for the food, it truly stole the show. Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. We left thoroughly impressed and are already looking forward to returning on our next trip to Winchester. Highly recommend!”
