Inn The Park in Renfrewshire

We were so well looked after by Ryan and the rest of the team for my grandma's 90th birthday. The whole team were so accommodating and kind, nothing felt like too much to ask. We had two babies with us, one of who was crawling everywhere but the team were relaxed and helpful which made such such big difference to our day. Would 100% recommend booking for an occasion- the ribs were delicious too!

Excellent service, good food, dog friendly portico area. Far worse places to sip cocktails and have an early supper. Perfect for a warm evening in Winchester.

My best friend and I walked the length of Winchester looking for an independent coffee shop, but nothing took our fancy. I had a vague memory of Inn the Park, found it just off the main street and were welcomed with genuine smiles. The upstairs bar, sitting and dining area is lovely, very light and airy with comfy seating. We settled into armchairs, ordered our hot drinks and chatted and chatted. Later we heard torrential rain bashing against the windows, so decided to stay for lunch: we shared marinated olives (£4) then both chose spiced aubergine and chickpea burgers, harissa mayo, halloumi, brioche bun and fries (£15), absolutely delicious. We also shared a bottle of wine (£26?). All the staff were really polite and friendly and we really didn’t want to leave - but we had to catch our trains home. We wholeheartedly encourage anyone coming to Winchester to go to Inn the Park. It’s fab!

Pleasant experience but service was a little may be short of staff. Food good but not exceptional it has been better on previous occasions

Only went for drinks but me and my wife both really enjoyed the atmosphere of this venue. Really good service too. Definitely recommend

AMAZING. The staff and manager were so friendly and kind. The food… wow! Really really delicious, it’s pricey but definitely you pay for what you get - quality meals. Good atmosphere. Cannot recommend enough!!

They boast about the wonderful dining experience on their dining floor under a large disco ball near the kitchen. But if they fancy changing your booking to what is designed as their large party area upstairs, then they will and you won’t be told about it. In fact they’ll tell you upstairs is the genuine dining area and downstairs is for functions! Hilarious because upon arrival there was a large 60th party taking place on the top floor. You always want to choose independent over chain and hope better service is what you get in return… well that’s not how it works here. Thanks for the two free drinks as way of apology. It would have faired a lot better if we hadn’t travelled down from West Sussex.

We were a party of 22 on a Saturday night and our server never skipped a beat. Jess's impeccable service, and the outstanding duck starter and venison main made the evening for us all.

We were visiting Winchester for a weekend for our wedding anniversary and we were recommended Inn the Park for sunday lunch so we booked in advance to ensure we weren't disappointed..on arrival we were greeted and shown to our table ...glad we booked as it was full and we thought this to be a good sign.. near to us a large family party of about 20. We ordered from a very plesent waitress and waited for our food. After about 15 mins our starter arrived ..how disappointing a couple of small pigs in blankets with wilted rocket and a dollop of very bitter cranberry sauce ! we order a second drink which after about another 15 mins we had to remind the waitress of.... fast forward to over an hour later we asked how long our roast dinners would be we were told about 5 mins ...everyone around us seemed to be getting there food ....another 10 mins past and unfortunately we had gone past it and left...just then as my husband put his jacket on and went to find the bathroom the food arrived I explained to the waitress and he spoke to the manager we paid for just the drinks and yes the manager apologised and agreed we had waited far to long and if they had realised the kitchen was on a go slow they would have talked to us and made us aware....a great shame as venue is lovely as was the waitress and manager hence the extra star ...maybe a few less bookings would be an idea. To enable good reasonably timed service.

Dine in | Dinner | £50–60 Lovely food- excellent waitress- excellent service- will be back- far better than other branded restaurants in the town- would recommend highly

Absolutely incredible- these guys need to be being considered for a Michelin star. The location is incredibly romantic, the food is absolutely mind blowing, the service is beautiful! 100% recommend. A very happy couple leaving a wonderful date night!

Cold restaurant, so cold it ruined the experience, we mentioned this to 3 members of staff and no one was bothered and 1 member of staff agreed

Great atmosphere and friendly attentive service. Good menu options with interesting ingredients and the vegetarian choices were listed first. We had the mackerel and smoked trout starters, which were both excellent. We shared a reasonable priced steak special which was cooked to perfection. The pear clafoutis to finish was exceptionally good. Would definitely recommend this restaurant

Was slow off the mark visiting and wish had ignored the variable reviews as loved it! Beautiful old mill building , the portico (front entrance with columns) was build In 1759 to cover the front of the old mill. Inside has been completely refurbed and have done a great job with stylish but fun decor, with giant red glitter ball and quirky paintings. Food was top class. Starter of cheese croquettes were so good! Crispy goodness and rich gooey, cheesy filing. Had the sharing for 2 Sirloin on the bone deal, amazing value at £60 which came with a bottle of Merlot and choice of two sides. Went for the potato gratin and green beans. Delicious! Perfected cooked juicy medium rare steak with chargrilled flavour. Service was excellent, our waitress Sara was really friendly and knowledgeable, and gave great cocktail recommendations too, which we had in the upstairs lounge area instead of pudding. Highly recommend this place, for dinner or just drinks in the upstairs part. Spotted someone having a lovely meats and cheese board which may have to try next time. Thanks Inn the Park, ‘I’ll be back!’ :)

Not worth going. The roast dinner is now £20.00 it used to be £15.00. Less food and very few veggies. The quality of the meat is very poor too and it was reheated to my taste. Unfortunately we live in era in which we want to go out, have a good time and support local business but in reality we are ripped off . Pay more for less, low quality and the hard worked money goes to waist. Very disappointed.

Flabbergasted at the price of 2 x SMALL glasses of wine £9.00 each! Didn’t realise I was buying the glasses as well as their contents? Appreciate businesses have overheads etc & the view of the park on a lovely sunny afternoon / evening comes at a premium - but really? That feels like a massive exploitation to me. Its Winchester not central London. I could go to the supermarket & buy 2 bottles for the same price. When I raised my eyebrows & questioned the barman who served me “is that correct - these are small glasses” he just said “yep” in a slightly condescending manner. By which time it was too late as they were already poured. Won’t be going there again. Shame.

meeting old business friends and food and wine lovers...looking for a new eating experience in winchester a half way meeting place two from london and one from the new Forest.Familiar with the delights of the Chesil rectory we were keen to try their new venture ....we were not disappointed .The service was immaculate and the meat from the Butchers specials beautifully cooked .I was slightly disappointed that the eclectic wine list did not contain more aged and fine wine.However the very knowledgeable female sommelier advised that the wine list offering was about to change to include fine wine examples without the normal huge mark up! and would take into account our view that alcohol content should be included these days.... we all agreed that we had found a new eating gem and look forward to many more meetings at Inn the Park. A BIG thankyou to everyone involved...

Fantastic food, wine and atmosphere. Went midweek so all had the sharer steaks, cooked perfectly. Service was exceptional, a big thank you to the staff for such a great evening. Highly recommend!

I had been keen to try Inn the Park for some time, as a former resident of Winchester, as it’s such a beautiful building and its sister restaurant, the Chesil Rectory, is a local icon. I was not disappointed. The first thing you notice is the welcoming staff and the second the thoughtful and comforting decor. It is quite literally somewhere you can spend an entire afternoon, as I did with a cousin I hadn’t seen for several years. At no point were we rushed or made to feel that we were anything but welcome, despite being the only diners left from lunch. And then there’s the food. There’s an excellent short menu at a fixed price for two or three courses but we were both attracted to the slow cooked pork belly, which was without question the best I have ever had that cut cooked. Topped with a wafer thin piece of crackling, I have no idea how they did it and that is what I want from a restaurant, not to feel this was something any competent cook could do at home. Accompanied by crushed new potatoes, braised cabbage and a superb sauce, I was glad I’d skipped the starter and left room (just) for treacle tart and clotted cream. The filling was the star, not the pastry, with perfectly balanced sweetness. Prices even on the main menu are not expensive and actually surprisingly low for the standard of cooking. A highly recommended local business, I’d be back tomorrow given half a chance!

Stopped off for just a glass of wine each on our way back to the park and ride having spent a nice afternoon in Winchester ………. , 2 x medium glass of wine cost us £21.00 😬. What a ripoff, Didn’t even get a bottle.. not impressed, Was not offered house wine which was around £6.50 for a medium glass … So be prepared to pay way over the top prices for a medium glass of white wine . Don’t think that we will be calling here again

We had one of the best Sunday Roasts ever yesterday. It was beautifully cooked and presented. All of this was helped along by pleasant service.

So where to start. Read the reviews, was excited to go. Regretted it when the mains arrived party of 6. All had different menu items for the main. 1 out of 6 was pleased. Beef burger burnt smothered in sauce (we assumed to mask that...

We were very disappointed because we wanted to dine outside but were told that if you dine outside you can not order from the full menu, there is a very limited menu for outdoor dining.

the previous Tapas style of cuisine that used to be a feature of the 'Upstairs' Wine Bar seems to have been replaced with a more traditional lunchtime Menu downstairs in the 'Cellar restaurant, called the Mustard Room I think...? Ayway It has a lovely atmosphere...

Had a really enjoyable meal - the food, service and drinks were all first class. This has become my favourite in Winchester for special occasions.

Great food & fantastic cocktails and wide selection of wine, excellent and knowledgeable service. Unique and cosy venue

Popped by for a quick drink at 6pm while we were waiting for a table at Shoal. No one was on the door so we walked up to the (empty) bar, and asked the bar man if it was ok to take a seat in...

In the lead up to Christmas, service and food quality can be somewhat mixed at some restaurants. But we were delighted by both the service and the food on our visit here. A group of 10 of us, all visiting for the first time, enjoyed...

Had lunch with 25 friends pre Christmas. Busy place but service was good. Starter ( lamb ) and main ( cod ) were excellent. Cheese course was OK but a bit cold . Staff were excellent . Attentive and helpful Would recommend

Very good location in Abbey Gardens and an attractive building. We arrived promptly at 12 and it was quite cold at the start, we left our coats on for the first 10mins, however it did warm up. Don’t blame them trying to keep the heating...

Service was incredibly attentive, decor and building really beautiful, food was superb especially the meat which was cooked to perfection and the overall price was very reasonable for the quality on offer. This place is up there in the rankings of Winchester’s best restaurants. nearly...

Last night my wife Jenny and I had a meal booked at Inn The Park in Winchester. It was our 32nd Wedding Anniversary so we wanted to enjoy a special evening. I had to take the time to say we had a magical time at...

The most infuriating thing about this restaurant is the name. Inn The Park? What park? A car park? An industrial park? A name should convey location and history, tell a story. This is the restaurant by the people behind The Chesil Rectory who trade on...

Great experience from the start! Lovely welcome, drinks at the bar were super tasty. We shared a steak from the butchers board which was such a treat. We were looked after by Olivia and she has a polite manner with a great dress taste. Thank...

Amble across Winchester park and you’ll find an absolute treasure of a restaurant offering high quality food with locally sourced ingredients. Having been disappointed with several restaurants recently, this was a delightful experience. The service was superb, the staff were attentive but not pushy and...

We ate here with some friends on Saturday evening, opting for the tapas menu. The pros The atmosphere was lovely, great contemporary design. We had pre dinner drinks and sat outside with a beautiful view of the river and then sat downstairs in the mustard...

Fantastic atmosphere. Staff extremely helpful, cheerful and friendly. Great food. Highly recommended.

Excellent food and service, as expected. This place is consistently high quality super nice friendly staff, our dinner was good quality fresh, balanced and beautifully seasoned. Staff very polite smiles, and attentive. Lovely atmosphere and ambiance Loos spotless too.

We had to change the date of our original booking and the front of house team were very efficient in confirming the change and answered all our questions about accessing the building. Our new date was Mothers Day at lunch time, so busy for the...

Evening meal with family and sampled the new menu We had a wide selection of dishes and everything was delicious . Karl was our waiter very attentive and charming . All staff friendly and professional Highly recommend

This is a hidden gem above a mill race in the Abbey gardens. My friends I booked a table in the Mustard Room, had the set menu which did not disappoint, the food was fresh & extremely tasty. I would thoroughly recommend this eatery, the...

Intriguing, unusual and elegant looking eatery in a lovely town setting. However, the attitude of the cafe staff did not measure up to this initial promise. Having specifically ordered two “hot” hot chocolates, which turned out to be tepid. I requested of the clearly irritated...

It's was very good stuff and very good food and music and nice tolies and ok tea and nice food and nice food we would come back

Been here a few times and the food has been good. However this time they had a fixed price menu. The slow cooked beef with mash and roast root vegetables was delicious, only to be surpassed by the genius Eccles cakes with Lancashire cheese. Wow...

We visited to celebrate our friends birthday and we were blown away by this great little drinking spot. The location and the building are incredible, tastefully restored and decorated to create the perfect atmosphere. The staff were great and service we received made the occasion,...

First time visit and left underwhelmed. The venue itself is lovely with unusual decor. When we arrived we should have followed our gut feeling and walked away. No one on the door or reception, had to walk up to the bar tender to find a...

It's just OK. A lot of people rave about it but I don't really get why. The main options are steak but it's so expensive so I went for the pork. It's just all a bit bland and the flavour combinations are a bit dull....

An immediate welcome at the door and again at the bar and again by all the chefs working in an open kitchen. Outstanding service Outstanding food Outstanding atmosphere Outstanding staff

A wonderful lunchtime meal and we were privileged to be looked after by Catherine who was a very fantastic host and very knowledgeable on the wine and cocktail front. Can’t wait to go back and highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a friendly...

We were warmly received and well looked after throughout our meal in the Grill Room of Inn The Park. The food was inventive, beautifully presented and a delight to eat. Sadly, increasing age has denied us the ability to polish off entire bottles of wine...

We'd eaten here a lot over the summer - but only in the outside area. We thought we'd go for valentine's and we are thoroughly glad we did. Amazing quality and delicious food, great wines, knowledge, and fantastic service. Loved it. Thank you, guys!

The cocktail list was unusual and we loved what we had: a Park Life G&T and a „You Only Live Twice“, which had vodka, sake, Jasmine Verte and lychees. The spicy nuts were delicious, having cumin seeds and something aniseedy, we both had halloumi and...

My family and I were looking to go somewhere nice to eat and for a couple drinks pre valentines as a group with two children. We came across inn the park on Instagram and thought it looked a great new place to check out as...

A nice place, friendly staff, but terrible food and very, very overpriced. My veggie burger came with no side salad or salad in the bun, was the only vegan choice AND it was inedible; I left more than half. I mentioned it discreetly and politely...

When you pay so much for a steak you expect it to be cooked to perfection and to be tasty. Neither was the case with my steak. It seemed not to have been seasoned or rested properly. Our service felt rushed.

Absolutely loved visiting this restaurant, the staff are always friendly and the food is beautifully made. We went as a couple eve and we had a lovely time with cocktails and burgers. We love the wine shop Staff are always so accommodating and nothing was...

I can only conclude that those who rate this place so highly have not experienced the excellent customer service some (granted rare) establishments have to offer. Curt mannered staff and inedible food including a kebab which on the outside looked delicious but I’m certain was...

We enjoyed a lovely Friday night here in December. Ate upstairs in the wine room from the small plates menu. The 4 of us shared a selection of tapas, can definitely recommend the monkfish skewers with spicy Dahl which were delicious. The wine room is...

Wonderful Saturday evening celebrating my daughter’s birthday. We Booked the grill area under the giant mirror ball for 6 of us . Great buzzy atmosphere & Lovely to see the open kitchen & chefs cooking . I had whole plaice with seaweed butter which was...

Upstairs is supposed to be ‘fine dining’. Quite simply average food at an outrageous price. Felt rushed throughout. If you like to take your time when going out for the evening....DO NOT GO HERE! Decent waiting staff evidently very hard to come by at the...

Quite possibly the most disappointing dining experience we have ever had. Arrived for an 8pm booking and informed by a waitress within 15 minutes that the kitchen staff have insisted on ‘last orders’ due to a shortage of customers. We had booked the table 3...

Went for lunch today with family, from the time we walked in we were treated very well. The service was good and the food was delicious everybody’s meals came out hot and cooked to perfection. We had mains and desserts which was very good.

Staff were inattentive and uninformed of what the website states versus what they advise. We were discriminated against as 2 men who were not offered to have our coats hung when the waiter fell over the group of women who came in and couldn’t get...

Visited with family on a Sunday lunchtime. The food was ok but there wasn’t a great choice. Our waiter was friendly but the 45 minute wait for a burger was unacceptable. Such a shame, definitely not up to the standard of food or service of...

Pluses: ambience lovely and service friendly. Carnivores enjoyed their meals from the grill although it was expensive. Minuses: service lagged a little, although it was a busy Saturday night. As a vegetarian I struggled - if you don't like meals padded out with cheap pulses...

Had an amazing Sunday lunch. Food was excellent and great service. -had tried sitting outside a couple of times in the summer, but the food on offer does not begin to compare- Would go back any day!

3 of us had a wonderful eve for friend’s bday. The cocktails were amazing! I had “You only live Twice” which was delicious. We sat downstairs in the cosy Mustard Room & being veggie I was pleased with the number of choices for vegetarian...had the...

Good food coupled with weak service. Such a shame as the potential is great for this place. Cocktails are delicious but be prepared to wait.

The good is the location, in a pretty park in the city center. It was a bit confusing on arriving as the different levels offer different food. Eventually we got to the right place and the key who sat us was friendly and explained everything....

Disappointing. Overpriced meat, wine and a lot extra for vegetables but tasty rib and partisan/truffle fries, 45 minutes to cook. Cheapest steak knives. Had to ask for red wine glasses. First choice of wine unavailable. Wine is supposedly “cost plus £15 corkage”. Staff chatting instead...

We were in the wine room where they serve mainly tapas like dishes. All the food we had was lovely but when they say 'small plates' they mean it!! It therefore works out quite expensive as you need many small plates to make a reasonable...

Great food, exceptional service, exquisite location ( I also have to say brilliant company, - that’s my family!) we booked 12:30 for a 13:00 lunch, all of a sudden it was 19:00. We toured the hidden art Gallery with Mark, an exhibition entitled “Winchester deserves...

Yesterday whilst out celebrating my mother in laws 70th, 4 of us popped in for a drink. We sat outside where 3 of the 4 tables were clear. A lady came over and took our order (3 alcoholic drinks and 1 non alcoholic). The lady...

Delightfully tasteful surroundings with a well constructed menu of "Tapas" style plates. Each dish was incredibly well thought thorough and delivered promptly with first-class ingredients and presentation. There was a wine paring menu that was delivered with knowledge by the manager. All in all, it...

Popped in here with some friend for lunch the day before a big event for us. The service was good and none of us could really fault this. The decor is all over the place, it really doesn’t know what it wants to be. The...

We had a meal booked on Sunday for lunch! The service was really nice and attentive, loved the decor as well! Food was lovely, a little pricey but it was worth the money! We had starters and mains as everything was delicious. We will definitely...

We ate in the Wine Room, and the venue as a whole was fine. We weren't expecting high cuisine, just decent everyday food would have been great. Some of the food was ok like the bread and olives, but most of it had that pre-prepared...

We visited Inn The Park recently and thoroughly enjoyed an evening out in this beautiful restaurant. We dined in the Mustard Room, which had a bit of a more subdued ambience, but there certainly was more of a party atmosphere to the other dining spaces....

Lovely contemporary restaurant using local ingredients. Good varied menu and wine list, friendly staff in an interesting old building.

This was our second visit. Food delicious, especially my pork chop. Great wine and enjoyed the sweet. Unlike some restaurants in Winchester, they take cash. Great.

My second time eating at Inn the Park, absolutely first class service and delicious food enjoyed by all. A wide range of choose, in fact you need to return to try a different dish, from sizzling pork chops to aromatic plaice. And next time I’ll...

Our first visit to The Mustard Room. Fabulous menu and drinks followed by really good quality food. Staff were the right side of attentive and very friendly and professional- especially Olivia. Would highly recommend

Went for lunch with a friend. Shown to our seats, not open upstairs, so had to sit downstairs, which is quite a dark room. Food was OK, my buttermilk chicken burger was supremely salty. The waitress was less than attentive, quite brusque. Wasn’t busy, so...

So I made the very smart decision of hosting my birthday at Inn the Park yesterday. I can honestly say it was outstanding. Completely OUTSTANDING. 🤩 From moment one Kayleigh was just brilliant. Talked me through the function space available and reserved the wine room...

Four of us went for a late dinner at the "grill" level last night. The food was fantastic, particularly the trout "pastrami" which my mum says was the best starter she has ever had! The highlight of the evening though was the service - our...

This was booked by some friends. They had booked the mustard room but we were put elsewhere. After complaining and staff saying they were fully booked we were moved to the right table. It took 40 mins to get a bottle of wine and 50mins...

Great decor and charming service but the different menus and sections feel overcomplicated. I didn't realise you could only have small sharing dishes upstairs and they were a bit disappointing. A few tomatoes, courgettes, some slices of sausage and gristly lamb left us still hungry.

Back in June I booked a table for 6 for 7.30 on Friday 13th August. When you make a booking you have to select the area, I chose the Mustard room. However, when we arrived they shoved us on a table on the ground floor,...

I was looking forward to trying this revamped and relaunched restaurant under its new ownership for a dinner for 3. It’s undoubtedly popular and busy so I had high expectations. The decor and atmosphere is very nice and the place was buzzing. However the food...

a very pleasant surprise indeed to find a completely revamped premises (in a delightful location) with a great atmosphere and interesting menus. We tried the upstairs "Tapas Bar" which has a wonderfully bright and cheery décor and whilst the "lighter" dishes are not exactly Tapas...

Fantastic location and staff were really friendly and welcoming. We had the Eggs Benedict and full English. Waffles were light and toasty. Sausages, bacon and black pudding were the highlights but everything was delicious and we’ll definitely be back.

Really enjoyed this new venture from the Chesil rectory team. We are big fans. The concept is new, quite on trend and very London like. With Incognito just a 100 yards away I can see the reason. The food in the grill was great, proper...

We had lunch for 4 people in the Mustard Room, more Coleman's than Dijon colour, as our delightful French waitress pointed out. Plenty of choices on a menu well balanced between V and carnivore options. Comprehensive drinks and wine list. Friendly and efficient service. Tasty...

We recently visited In The Park for Sunday lunch with family . We were served one of the most delicious Roast Dinners I can remember and mine began with a perfect Bloody Mary ! We also appreciated that our food was locally sourced . In...

This was our first visit, and it definitely won’t be the last. We had such a warm welcome here and the staff were friendly and attentive. There was a lovely ambience and the restaurant has been furnished in a cosy, casual manner. The food was...

Served by the best waitress in town (probably) who could not do enough to help and to make us comfortable. Her kindness is especially appreciated because I am disabled and lack full mobility. Ate wondrous local cheeses and excellent salad, all at most reasonable prices....

First visit to eat although we have been in to buy wine previously (They have a good and varied range and it makes a change from the supermarket option). We had three courses apiece in the evening. Every one was excellent and the prices were...

Delicious brunch in this newly opened restaurant which used to be the River Cottage Café. Lovely atmosphere but quiet, and great decor.

Delicious food, friendly service and great decor. We are Londoners so thought the price was reasonable for the food (and the bakewell tart really was outstanding!). Definitely worth a visit on your next visit to Winchester. The staff really can't do enough for you and...

What a destination, highly highly recommend. We happened upon this newly opened restaurant and wine bar and it did not disappoint. In fact quite the opposite it was an utter delight. Same owners as chesil rectory so no surprise on the quality. Food, wine, service...
