I really do try to refrain from giving out one and two star reviews but sadly on this occasion there was no way of avoiding it. The Cafe itself is well located for bus station customers in Winchester and offers a reasonable range of food. The main issues for me was that the cafe itself is incredibly run down and shabby which in itself makes the place feel uninviting. Whats more, the standard of cleanliness is pretty poor - tables were left dirty, lots of uncleaned spillage marks on the counter and a glance into the kitchen area also had me doubting the hygiene practices of the establishment. The standard of service was pretty poor with the person serving me saying as little as possible and making no effort to make me feel welcome. When it came to the food - it was mediocre at best - poor quality and lacking flavour. Places like this serve a purpose - but I think the owners need to invest a little time, effort and money into making this cafe a little better. I can't say I would feel comfortable eating there again sadly. If I can find a positive, it is that the food is very reasonably priced. But I think this also reflects in the quality of the food. I would rather have paid a little more for better quality food. This is my first review below a 3 star, so I would like to think that I am not the toughest critic out there!

Well, the Old Tea House appears permanently closed and the village has lost a great asset and social hub . For the last year, the venue has appeared extremely confused about what it wants to be and who it is catering for. Clearly its former customer base felt the same and have stayed away in their hordes. This has been a tea room for as long as I remember- I recall coming here as a child decades ago and I think it is a tragic loss to the village. It is a wonderful spot to sit outside and watch the world go by or to sit inside in inclement weather. The best thing the owner could do for the village is to sell or lease it to someone who wants to bring the soul back. Tragic.

Bit boring. Ok burger, nothing special, It feels like a helium balloon with half the air missing. You think it must have been quite impressive at some point, but not when I was there.... Also when the restaurant has the word friendly and Phil in the title, I dont expect to meet a guy called Phil but anticipate the staff would be a bit more lively.... They were not..... On a scale of dead to TGI Fridays they were a 3......

Jess was an amazing server, she went above and beyond with her level of service putting extra cream on my hot chocolate when asked. Couldn’t fault her at all.

The list of negatives Late delivery Sweet and sour sauce was more like jelly. Chicken satay skewers did not come with any sauce. The chow mein had a burnt taste to it above the usual seasoning of the pan. All food was just about warm enough to still be edible but not enough to be enjoyable. Such a shame.
