River Bean and Bar in Winchester

Had lunch here as mid-stop during 8 mile walk! Amazing food, really loved the healthy choices and range on the menu. I had poached eggs on sourdough and my friend had the avocado, sausage bap. Both really delicious, lovely atmosphere and the number of clients for a mid-week lunch speaks volumes for this place. Buzzing place, catering for all tastes and lots of options for any diners with specific tastes. Hope to be back soon.

Knew this place well a few years ago and it used to be buzzing and a local hive of chat. We stopped off on the way through today after visiting family and what a disappointment. Tatty, several tables that rocked, uncomfortable chairs, silent uncomfortable atmosphere, no music, cold ( woodburner lit) staff a bit unbothered. What a shame to see it go downhill. I’m not one for bad reviews at all, quite the opposite, and perhaps my expectations were higher. Food was average to higher expense for what it was but put on a cold plate so stayed warm for only a very short while.

Fantastic staff who made us feel very welcome! Delicious coffee and food, great ambience and very dog friendly. Cannot find fault!

Haven’t been for a while but was very disappointed with the quality of the breakfast, bacon was dry and chewy, fried eggs had solid yolk and baked beans came in an egg cup!

A lovely Cafe but unfortunately not for people that have allergies. Popped in for coffee and cake with my family and there were no gluten free cakes. The staff were not very apologetic. So unfortunately Mum was not able to have cake. Very disappointed.

Really nice little cafe. Just right for the family. Exceptionally helpful and friendly owner, too. Will definitely come back!

The last time I came here the place was called The Bean Below which was pricey but worth the money and packed out. It's been a while so the place must've changed hands. A colleague and I came here for a simple sausage roll and a cuppa. We came in and ordered a cup of tea and a hot sausage roll for me and a banana milkshake and a hot sausage roll for my colleague. Mine came to £6.45 which I thought "I know where I've come, this isn't Greggs"! Don't know what my colleagues came to but I'm pretty sure it's was over £8. Both of our sausage rolls were dry and chewy. They were luke warm on the outside and cold in the middle. My tea was alright but you can't get that wrong really. My colleague, however, described her banana milkshake as disgusting and left most of it along with the sausage roll. When the waitress came over I told her nicely that the sausage rolls weren't very nice. She said, "Ok I'll tell the chef"! That was it. No one apologised, no one came out, nothing. If we hadn't been in work clothes we both said we'd ask for our money back but sadly we were and just left. We both wish we had gone to Greggs.

I was served by James who was personable and efficient. A excellent ambassador for the business which has recently been taken over and appears to be open 7 days a week between 0800 and 2000. Well worth a visit

Great customer service from a very nice girl named Lilli and received a very beautifully prepared too good to go box from Harry
