Hutton's Brasserie and Bar in Winchester

Even though breakfast and dinner was part of our plan for an extended business stay, after dinning a few times and trying numerous items, we chose to go into town and pay to dine elsewhere. We are very budget consequence, to not eat a free meal and purchase food elsewhere says a lot about how disappointed we were with the food. The quality of ingredients was poor and there was a holistic lack of flavor. At times the food at dinner was presented well, picture perfect; however, the meat would be over cooked, the food was poorly seasoned, the soups were literally the worst soups I have ever eaten in my life. That says a lot as I do not think I have ever had a soup I did not like before trying the soups here. Breakfast consisted of traditional English breakfast using poor quality ingredients, runny yogurt, fruit from tins and lots of processed breads and cheap baked items. They did have a few small containers of nuts that you could use as a topping for the yogurt or your cereal. Service was slow, our tea/coffee would come out after we had finished our meal. The one strong positive thing that I can write is that they genuinely seemed to care if people had allergies to any ingredients on their menu. The staff tried but they were mostly young and poorly trained.

We had dinner here during the two nights of our stay, the first night it was good but second evening wasn’t overly impressed - could be our choices of food of course,

We’ve had good food here a few years ago and thought we’d try it again. We weren’t disappointed- the food was delicious! Our waitress was also really lovely. It is a restaurant within a hotel, so is smart but lacks a little character but the food really made up for that. Well worth a visit if you want a smart restaurant and very good food. It was also busy, so had a buzzy atmosphere.

Excellent food at reasonable prices, nice menu and you can choose off the bat main menu if their is nothing from the Brasserie menu that takes your fancy

Once again a Fabulous stay at the Winchester spa hotel and particularly the standard of service by all staff was great but the service we received in the brasserie was outstanding .. our waiter Isaac was polite and engaging .. went out of his way to make us feel special .. all the meals were excellent and great selection of cocktails at the bar .. will be back very soon

We had a great meal at the brasserie, we both had a starter and main and the food was excellent, the food was well presented and was delicious. The service was so excellent and we were very well looked after. Would defiantly recommend.

Pleasant restaurant, excellent waiting staff and lovely food, it's not the cheapest but we felt it was worth the money.

We had dinner one evening here as staying at the hotel. Overall very good. Starters reasonable and mains were excellent. We didn’t have a dessert, so can’t comment on those. The cocktails at the bar were great. Also had breakfast here. Buffet style with a wide choice of both continental and cooked breakfast goods. All very well cooked and presented. Would happily eat here again.

We are staying in this hotel for the weekend and ate in here last night. The food was lovely - we shared the bread to start, my husband had the fillet steak and I had the chicken. We shared a side of dauphinois. All the food was really tasty & the cocktails were delicious. Service was a bit slow but the restaurant was busy. It is reasonably priced for the quality of food & location. We would recommend and come back

We had a wonderful lunch here on Mothers' Day. The food was excellent with plenty of choice on each course and the atmosphere was really good. The service was perfect and all 3 generations had a lovely lunch for a very reasonable price There was nothing I could fault, it was perfect

We ate in the Brasserie as it was part of our package. The food was very good, and the service was excellent. Not disappointed!

A very pleasant dinner as residents with a discount for well serverved but not an amazing experience.

Came here as we were staying at the Winchester Hotel & Spa. The food was delicious, well cooked and presented beautifully. The service wasn't as good as one would expect it to be which did let it down.

Good service, good menu, ice ambience and reasonay priced. Very happy we didn't bother to leave hotel and look for anything better. Had drink in town first and everywhere looked rammed or pre-booked.

This is a very attractive restaurant and the food was very good. I had both a dinner and a breakfast here and on each occasion the service, unfortunately, was pretty average. During dinner the staff made 3 mistakes on the order and the length of time we had to wait to correct the issues was not the best. During breakfast one of the party asked for gluten free toast. Plain bread was provided very quickly however we were told to toast it ourselves in the general toaster which of course is dangerous as could cause contamination! We were on a table for 4 and all asked for tea. We received 2 teas!!

We ate here when staying at the hotel so I'd written a more detailed review in that contribution.

This afternoon tea is not the cheapest available in Winchester so had reasonably high hopes! We were sorely disappointed. I had to ask if the sandwiches had just come out of the freezer as they were so cold and therefore flavourless, the Brie was rock hard as a result and I suspect the bread came out of a plastic bag from the local supermarket. The scones were soo heavy and the cakes were all very unattractive, everything was brown in colour. I asked if they had been made on site and was assured they were but find it hard to believe that any self respecting pastry chef would let them all be so sweet and cloying that you couldn’t differentiate what flavour they were meant to be. Told staff midway through that we were disappointed and again upon paying but no effort made to try and improve our experience. Don’t waste £17.50!

Mientras nos hospedábamos en el hotel, mi novia y yo desayunábamos cada mañana. Todos los alimentos perfectamente cocinados y un montón de ofrecer.

Poor choice maybe but the fish cakes were wierd. Food had been obviously hanging around as it wasn’t hot when it was served

Beautiful room, very helpful and friendly staff. Not suitable for children as children not allowed in Brasserie after 6pm which actually I preferred :) Food was great.

Had dinner here two nights in a row and can honestly say the food was lovely. The food is well presented and although service was a little slow, it was well worth the wait. Staff are friendly too

Tuve el desayuno y la cena aquí. El buffet de desayuno proporcionaba una buena selección de comida. El menú de la cena tiene algo para todos. Tuve el cerdo 3 maneras entrante y estaba perfectamente preparado y delicioso. Me las arreglé para ahorrar espacio para el postre y disfruté mucho de The Orchard!

Este bar del hotel y Brasserie se encuentra cerca de la estación, en las afueras del centro de la ciudad de Winchester. Tiene un agradable bar y restaurante y un área exterior para cuando hace buen tiempo (probablemente en 2019 según la experiencia en lo que va de año). La hamburguesa gourmet es, en mi opinión, la mejor en Winchester. La hamburguesa en sí es carnosa, bien sazonada y viene con un buen queso de tocino y un anillo de cebolla. La porción acompañante de hojas y chips bien cocidos son extras ideales. Muy recomendado. aunque a un precio

Comimos en Hutton mientras estuvimos en el hotel. Es grande y elegantemente moderno. Tuvimos tres cursos y encontramos que cada uno era bastante bueno. El cóctel de gambas era un giro moderno en un clásico, los filetes eran buenos y también las hamburguesas. Había una buena variedad de opciones vegetarianas. Todas las raciones eran de un tamaño decente. El parfait de azúcar moreno y el helado de whisky eran amados por todos. Los vinos son alrededor de 20 por botella hacia arriba. Los vinos de postre se pueden degustar en un vuelo de tres vasos, lo cual fue muy divertido. Los pequeños inconvenientes fueron un prosecco de casa muy promedio y se está tomando una licencia artística de sentido con la aparición de las fotos de los alimentos en la publicidad del hotel. Estuvo bien, pero no como las fotos.

El servicio y la comida igualaron o excedieron las expectativas de este restaurante de 4 estrellas en una noche concurrida. La calidad de la comida se acercó a niveles realmente buenos de comidas. Recomiendo especialmente el chutney de fruta casero servido con los entrantes de carne fría. ¡Todo esto sin romper el banco! Estaré encantado de recomendar The Brasserie a cualquier persona.

Tuvimos un tiempo maravilloso para mi 40 ° cumpleaños. El servicio era insuperable, nuestro camarero Conor era genial. El restaurante era muy servicial con un cambio de hora de último minuto y estaba muy ocupado, lo que hizo un gran ambiente.

Enjoyed an excellent dinner on Sunday evening during our stay at the hotel. Food and service is superb.

We have eaten here a number of times and with every visit our expectations are surpassed. Absolutely delicious and presentation is second to none. The staff have always been incredibly friendly and welcoming

We were staying in the Hotel. And, on both evenings we dined in this beautiful Restaurant. The food on both occasions was outstanding. SUPERB. The Staff were truly amazing. Combination of the food, and, Service fully warranted the prices. Will definitely dine there again.

Probablemente uno de los mejores bistecs que he comido. El servicio fue eficiente, bien pensada. No es especialmente barato, pero está bien para una noche.

Macaroni and Cheese £15 and a side order of chips (see photo) 9 chips at £3.50. Food is mediocre... I've tasted better macaroni from a tin!...

Huttons has a stylish but welcoming feel with good friendly service and good food at reasonable cost

Aunque el menú no es amplio, hay algo para todo el mundo. Bien cocinada y presentada la comida, excelente servicio, sin prepotencia.

Lovely food and a varied menu. You dont appear to get bread or water on arrival so not sure if your meant to ask for it, that being said we had an enjoyable meal

Ate here whist staying in the hotel. Good choice, excellent service and really good well presented delicious food.

We were staying in the hotel and ate twice. The food was as you would find in a French Brasserie - great Moules, good steak,. Waiting staff friendly , service good. A different Restaurant Manager on each night - one good,one pretty unfriendly to all diners otherwise would have rated 4 and not 3.

Booked for my daughters birthday meal and both the food and service was spot on and very perfesional,the restaurant is very relaxed and good decor,all had three courses and enjoyed it all with clear plates ,steaks are very good but must say the shepherds pie and sticky toffee pudding came top of the bill

Stayed at the hotel this is within and it was superb! Some people suggest pricey but the quality of the food, service and ambience warrant it. I had possibly the best steak I have ever eaten, cooked to perfection. Wife had pork which she really enjoyed.Service faultless and very nice to see waiters and waitresses so smart. All round very nice.

the menu is small, not an extended choise, which makes that you'll only eats here once.the food is ok, cooks are qualified.the service staff however is young, unexperienced and stressed by the many instructions the obviously had by the management. Seen no management....

Used this whilst staying for 2 nights with my wife, every dish we had was well presented and very tasty - the Huttons burger is one of the best I have ever tasted! Would definitely recommend and could not fault.

very expensive had steak lots of fat on mine,staff very helpful,but meal not great for the price we paid.also not knowing how far out from docks,though when i booked did ask and was told 20 mins from airport 20 mins to docks but it cost me £30 each way for taxi's,if i had know southampton better or had help would have got nice hotel nearer to docks in southampton but when you go on internet this hotel comes up under cruise lines.

Went here as part of Sunday night hotel deal with £25 each off food. Didn't know what to expect..Starters were ok...A bit bland. But the main meals (Duck and Lamb) were very good. Big portions and perfectly cooked. Served hot too.The desserts are also big portions so we shared the Tirramasu. This was excellent as wellWe also had brilliant service. Lots of younger staff but they were very good.Overall this is an excellent option especially with the Hotel deal on food. Just walk down from your room to your restaurant.

had dinner there, we both had the rarebit to start. tiny little portions of sourdough with a nice rarebit topping. served with two types of beetroot. Himself had the citrus cod, he didn't fancy the cajun potatoes that came with it, so the waitress was happy to swap to fried. the cod was nicely flavoured. It was served with pea/lettuce/bacon. But there was so much bacon it rather overwhelmed the dish. I had a burger, which was huge. Just the right amount of bacon and cheese on it.2 courses, 2 people with a bottle of wine, £70

Beautifully presented great food and very good attentive service, For starters I had the Prawn Cocktail and my Sister had the Thai Crab cakes - delicious! I then had the lamb which was melt in mouth lovely and my sister had the Cod which she said was also really good, all washed down with a bottle of Italian white wine - well worth a visit, will be returning!

Unless I am paying LOTS of money I rarely expect too much when I'm eating out. Hutton's was a very pleasant surprise and exception to that rule! The service was exemplary and whilst the team was young they had a perfect combination of conversation and politeness. Nothing was too much trouble and they always called us sir or madam which perfectly maintained the ambiance and high quality of the establishment.And then the food ... Incredible. The steaks were perfect, the lamb the ladies has was impeccable. Fantastic flavours and so well presented. Then the bill came and we were again pleasantly surprised. Thank you Hutton's for delivering such high quality at such a reasonable price. We will be coming back for sure, even though we live 90 mins away!

Good choice on the menu, service good and ambience about right. We used the restaurant a couple of times during our stay at the hotel while visiting family.

The dinner was disappointing. The dishes were not awful, just plain, bland and safe. eg. the Chicken Caesar salad dressing was minimal and drab. Seeing as this dish is just some leaves and grilled chicken, you'd think they could make some effort with the dressing but it was obviously out of a bottle. eg.2 the Plum Crumble - you would expect piping hit fruity with crunchy oven-baked topping. What we got was a sort of plum compote in a bowl with granola sprinkled on top. Not unpleasant but not crumble, as we know it.

We stayed at the hotel and decided to come for dinner as it was raining and a 15 minute walk into town was not attractive. The food is good but I was disappointed that despite the price of the main courses, they only come with the minimum of vegetables. Vegetables could be added for a price. My Confit de Canard came with the most delicious Gratin Dauphinoise but only a few cherries, not even in a sauce. There was a sliver of something else which we were told was parsnip puree, but it was too small to confirm. The menu was quite large -everything from burgers, chicken, steak, fish and vegetarian. However charging the same price for a plate of pasta as a leg of duck or a breast of chicken seems cheeky. The sweet menu had a crumble, Christmas pudding, ice cream and a cheese option. Our Christmas pudding was a bit small and the brandy sauce was tiny however the cinnamon ice cream was lovely. The wine was a bit pricey. The service needs tightening up.

I don't think I would make a special trip here, but almost warrants a very good if you get dinner included in the hotel deal - the food is good value for money, but there are probably better places to eat in Winchester, and places with more atmosphere.

Good amount of options on the menu though i always find paying 3 pound for mash potatoes a little much considering they were a replacement to fries.desert wine flight for 5 pounds were very good value and cheese plate of local cheeses was interesting and good portion

We stayed at the hotel recently which is average. The restaurant makes this place. The food is very good. We enjoyed 3 courses each on both occasions we stayed. The chef can cook a good filet steak - he is a valuable asset to this hotel. It's the main reason we choose to stay here. Deserts are amazing.

Very nice little restaurant with good quality food. I had a fillet steak and it was fantastic. I would highly recommend eating here, especially if you are staying in the hotel

Nicely presented, hot plates so food stayed hot. Good portion sizes. Good menu options and good portion size. A nice relaxing evening. Inside or outside terrace options

Because of our late arrival we didn't feel like venturing into and decided to book into the restaurant of the hotel. The receptionist seemed hesitant to book us into their own restaurant which didn't fill me with confidence regarding our choice.Thus we had a pleasant surprise. My wife choose the sirloin steak and says it's one of the best steaks she has ever had.I choose the 30 day aged fillet steak and it is superb. Liz, our waitress, was excellent.All in all a memorable meal.

small cocktail list - priced at £8-£10 each. not particularly good. my 'Martini' came in a tumbler glass with A LOT of ice!!

The taste and presentation of the three course meal that we had was excellent. The chef had a light touch and produced food of a wonderful quality. The service was friendly, efficient and unobtrusive. I was amazed by the prices - £6 for starters and desserts and £12 to £16 for the mains. What a bargain! I wish we lived nearer...but we'll be back!

The chef here is the biggest asset that this hotel and restaurant has to its well respected name. The French onion soup was made well with the onions cooked properly, a first in any restaurant for some time. It is not often that moules marinières et frites features as a main course but at this restaurant this classic dish was cooked perfectly with a delicious and correct sauce. The ice cream was home made and nicely presented. The staff were attentive and made the experience really special. Altogether this was a dinner well above average and surprisingly the cost was about the same as other much less prestigious establishments. Well worth a visit in our opinion.

Excellent service at the bar. Nothing too much trouble. Limited menu in the restaurant, but the food is always good. Try the passion fruit sorbet, excellent taste.

Great food, good service. Steak was brilliant. Decent choice on the menu, interesting options. Nice wine list. Would definitely recommend.

Great menu choice, unfortunately, both my husband's and my desserts were burnt!Waitress was friendly and most apologetic!

With a one night stay it is diffcult to say, but from what we saw and ate ourselves, the food was exellent

We were part of a spa package with food included and we were not disappointed. We had an afternoon tea on arrival and in the evening a lovely 3 course meal. Breakfast was pretty good too!

Amazing value and quality. Fishcake & duck egg starters - amazing. Venison and steak for mains which were delicious and cooked to perfection. Amazing deserts with nice little valentines touches. The restaurant was pretty packed but the standard of food was immense, WELL DONE.

Went there for traditional afternoon tea with friends from abroad to make them discover what afternoon tea is. Overall, the experience was a little disappointing. We all got the Traditional afternoon tea which, priced at just below £16, was good value but was of average quality. There were a lot of sweet food and not enough sandwiches in our opinion, and the service was just OK for such a hotel.

The food was very nice and the staff helpful and attentive, good selection of locally sourced produce and nice selection of wines, I would eat there again if staying in the area and would recommend to friends.

I visited this place whilst staying at The Winchester hotel, and had an excellent dinner here. To start with they gave us a choice of bread rolls (I chose a tasty tomato bread), and this was followed by pea and spinach soup. I am not a big soup fan, but this was really delicious and creamy, you could really taste the vegetables. I then had a fillet steak that was cooked to perfection and generous at 8 ounces. You may want to order some veg on the side, but I thought this place was well worth 5 stars. Nice atmosphere to the place, too, not too bright and quite a cosy feel.

Trio of starters was pleasant. Turkey was dry and tasteless. Roast potatoes also dull and distinctly lacking in any crispness. Sprouts watery. Trio of puddings was pretty good. Overall poor.

Nice presentation, interesting menu and very tasty.Free glass of bubby and congratulation chocolates were a nice and personal touch with great service from our waiter Chris.

Average the whole experience. The chef makes good effort on cooking and on the presentation but....unfortunately the result average . I was misled by previous reviews and unfortunately was not close at all to the ones I had read. Visited for anniversary as the only of this kind that was open that night in Winchester that late even after reservation. Polite but over anxious /stressed staff (unless they were tired because we were the last ones) .enough space and a few tables empty, my chair was not necessary to touch the chair of the one siting behind me . I had not sit down yet( because I was taking off my coat) and the gentleman had started already informing us for the dishes of the day so quickly that even my husband that was siting down he could not hear them all, everyone was on a hurry . I have to accept that the flavours were quite tasty, but the quality definitely not a top one. Bit annoyed by choosing a sirloin steak that was supposed to be "super suggested" and from well known farm(????) already named by the restaurant as best of hampshire!!! and even if I had to ask (no one thought to bring me steak knife until I asked for one)for a steak knife...it was not very helpful. I prefer not to read by the owner /chef "the best pie of..." or "best hampshire's...that". Let the dinners to decide because they fall in a trap expecting the best and being disappointedFor being fair: Dessert very nice . My margarita very good. Thanks God they accepted to do simple mojito and not the one form the menu that you had to chose between vodka or lemonade in the baccardi based cocktail.(?)must: rearrange the tables/chairs , change the farm provider, never serve a fish with so many small bones in restaurant that you cannot use your hands or at least make a fillet of it!!!, relax the staff, if you continue with the same menu start reducing the prices. Not sure if I would book again.

The food and service is second to none, beautiful starters, main courses and desserts and friendly, attentive staff.

They provide top quality food. All meals are well presented and look good enough to eat! A variety of choices available on the menu to suit everyone. You don't get bored of the menu. So many options to try. Good value for money.

The only slight downside as with all hotels the bar prices! But the sun terrace and excellent food and service more than made up for this!

Menu over promises and doesn't deliver. A black pudding salad came as a ball of black pudding, a poached egg and a small handful of watercress. When we said it wasn't what we had expected they said they'd diet back to us, they never did. Seems it's all about presentation, food served on various boards and slates and not enough attention paid to the flavour. Fancy explanations on menu didn't follow through. Service was slow and I was half way through my main course before mustard I asked for arrived I had also requested ketchup which the waitress forgot.

I have a very positive review under The Winchester Hotel website. Can not recommend enough though - everything was very very good!!

The food at this restaurant was excellent as was the service, we sat outside due to lovely weather and in all it was a really relaxing meal. We were offered a good selection of wines at reasonable prices for a top quality restaurant. The staff were very attentive without being pushy and I would highly recommend eating here.

Its about £25 for three courses but we found it just didn't deliver and bar prices are very expensive.

My friends and I enjoyed an excellent meal at Hutton's this weekend. We had a 3 course evening meal and were very impressed with the selection of dishes. The steak was excellent and all the courses were well presented. The service was excellent - very friendly and attentive staff.Highly recommend!

We had starter, main and dessert which were all excellent. We both had steak for main and it arrived beautifully presented - one of us had the peppercorn sauce but that was a bit disappointing as it was very thin but tasted fine - and the steak was perfectly cooked. Staff could not do enough to ensure we had everything to our liking. I would recommend this restaurant.

A last minute decision was made to try out Huttons Brasserie. My partner and I are so glad that we did!Upon arrival we were greeted by two very friendly gentlemen at the bar who served us some nice refreshing beverages! We then moved into the restaurant with once again, very lovely staff!The menu was well selected and my partner and I both found it difficult to pick! Complimentary bread was brought over to our table within a few minutes which was perfect! We even asked for a little extra and that was no problem at all.My partner and I both had the Scallops with cauliflower purée which were cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious!I then went for the Fillet Steak with Fries, Salad & Peppercorn sauce. It was hands down the nicest steak I have eaten in a long time - cooked perfectly and well seasoned! Compliments to the chef! My partner had the Pork Belly which was equally as tasty and well presented! The two ladies serving us couldn't do enough to help! I also noticed a man (manager, I assume) recommending drinks in a very professional manor with a great knowledge of drinks to another couple!Afterwards we headed into the bar for a couple of drinks.I was curious about any cocktails that they had to offer, so ventured to the bar. Greeted by a really pleasant barman I was told there was no cocktail menu but he knew how to do a few and gave me a list! He was so passionate I thought I'd let him have a go at trying something new. He told me he didn't know how to make it, but with my help mentioning the ingredients, he did the rest and pulled off the nicest Baileys Espressotini!! So thank you mr barman (wish I caught your name!) It did cost me around £9 for the one cocktail but I understand being in the hospitality industry why! Charged for the espresso, baileys & vodka how he was trained no doubt! Although I was happy to pay it for his can do attitude and willingness to try something new! Overall my partner and I had a FANTASTIC experience at Huttons Brasserie and for sure will be back again!

Food was amazing and great choice. Freshly cooked and very tasty. Staff were courteous and helpful. Very enjoyable evening thank you!

We stayed on a fizz break and were given a glass of champagne as we sat down and then served a delicious three course meal which were all appropriate servings. Nice vibe of the restaurant and lovely wait staff. Will definitely return again.

Good value for money and great menu selection. We can recommend the rib-eye, the brownies or the ice cream.

Ate in "Hutton's" whilst staying at the hotel on a saturday night. The Restaurant was very busy but nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Food excellent, worth paying that little bit extra for the fillet steak! There was a nice new outdoor seating area but we didn't venture out with the weather being a bit on the chilly side, maybe next time!

Having got married in the hotel here, it's now our tradition to have our anniversary meal in the brassery, and the quality of food and service is always high. This year was no exception. In addition to the lovely food and attentive staff, we were offered a drink on the house to celebrate our anniversary. We thought this was a lovely gesture and very unexpected. This place has a special place in our hearts and we always look forward to going back.

The attached "HUTTON'S BRASSERIE" is to be avoided. My Duck was tasteless and came with an unannounced accompaniment of pasta and soggy something which may have been cabbage or spinach. Shockingly bad! Fortunately, I had asked for the blackberry based sauce on the side because that would have made the whole thing completely inedible. I couldn't face a dessert but my friend's crepe was extremely poor too. The whole miserable experience was exacerbated by the cold dining room caused simply by a large French double door to the exterior being left open - AND THE MANAGER REFUSING TO CLOSE IT WHEN WE ASKED. Truly unbelievable - and the sort of customer service that you had hoped was extinct even in England. Fortunately, the evening was redeemed by the delightful company - but that was no credit to the management!

Try the Huttons Burger - A large dose of REAL beef just right for a hearty appetite. Lovely everytime!

We stayed at the Winchester Hotel, which has the Huttons Brassiere. Excellent food, service and bar with piano.

Not the best service, we received our starter before our bottle of wine arrived. The steak was very small, to opt for the larger fillet steak would have required a further 8.25 which seemed quite expensive considering the package was 92.50 per person already!

At £22.95 for three courses the menu was good value (given the quality) even adding the supplements (which I guess covered about 50% of the dishes). Service was polished and friendly and food was pretty much faultless.

We had the dinner and breakfast included in our hotel stay. We were supposed to have a bottle of champagne with our meal, but had it in the fridge in our room, guess so we spent money on drinks on the hotel. At least 50% of the menu had at least a £3 supplement on it, which on a desert is a joke. Food was ok, nothing spectacular, o'm unsure how you get awarded rosettes but Huttons claims to have 2, but i am unsure on what basis these are awarded. Food was mediocre, and my wife found a bit of plastic in her desert, when we brought this to the waitresses attention she just shrugged. They did not get a tiop because of this. The breakfast was good, could have been hotter, but it was all decent enough. If i was to visit this hotel again, i wouldn't be bothered about visiting huttons

the food was excellent and the service very hospitable.

Good food, plenty of choice, attentive staff, the decor was modern but relaxed, I never asked, but was'nt offered a steak knife with my Steak, and my guests had to make do without a Fish knife for their Plaice.

We opted for the set meal and wasn't disappointed. There was a great choice for each course and the food was of great quality and portions were reasonable.Very friendly staff.

Very good service and high quality food at this restaurant in the Winchester Hotel. Like the feel of this family-owned hotel and mainly young staff were a credit

Dined here because we were staying at the hotel. Found it to be of very good quality for a hotel restaurant and reasonable value too. I started with a generous helping of smoked salmon, accompanied by nice (free) bread and my husband had a terrine which was very flavoursome although he'd have enjoyed more than the drizzle of dressing.I followed this with a starter-sized portion of risotto, which I still couldn't finish as it was a generous size and very filling. Very well flavoured and more interesting than some vegetarian dishes I have experienced. My husband's steak came without the Bearnaise sauce he'd have liked as the waitress did not ask him about sauces at the time of ordering. However the rib eye steak did indeed come 'medium', which many restuarants seem to fail to achieve, and was very nice. The chips were a bit disappointing, as were the tomatoes, which were a bit bland.For desert we shared a beautifully presented mini Baked Alaska, which was very enjoyable.Credit must go to the lady managing front of house, who kept a good eye on things and dealt with another table's problem with their wine with a very friendly and personable approach.

Went here for a Valentines set menu. Service was attentive but not overly. Felt like the staff could not do enough for you. The restaurant was busy but the tables were not packed in like some hotel restaurants.Food was delicious. I had the lamb and husband had the duck. Both beautifully presented and cooked.Definitely recommend eating here for a special occasion.
