Shoal in Winchester

We had an amazing meal last time we ate here so I was very disappointed with this evenings offering. While the gluten free fish was lovely and crisp the gluten fish was really greasy and not at all crispy. I would also warn people that order on Deliveroo that when your food is made it is put on the counter next to the door (not kept on the warming ovens) so may well be cold. While I was there the Deliveroo order was on the side for 6 minutes - and I left at this point so no idea how long it was there in total.

We walked our way through the castle at Winchester to find this place that served some amazing fish and chips. Good food and nice beer.

Amazing fish and chips! I knew I like mushy peas, but theirs are the best I have had. It was so easy to eat there with gluten allergies, I felt safe that I would have no issues. They offered great suggestions and the fish was flaky fresh and pipping hot. It was quick and delicious. The staff was great and had excellent suggestions on food as well as what to check out locally.

First time visiting Shoal’s in Winchester. We sat at the counter because they were expecting a large party. We were able to speak to the chef Billy and ask a lot of questions before ordering our meal with Tara. It was great fun watching them prepare the meals. Tara stopped by frequently asking us if we were happy with our meals and what did we think of them. My husband totally enjoyed the rock salmon and I had the fish pie which was delicious. Friendly, busy restaurant but outstanding personal service.

Excellent rock salmon and chips !!! Came with a group and we were all served quickly by friendly staff who brought up delicious plates of food !!! Loved the ketchup, mayo and tartare sauce lots too alongside unlimited refills of chips. This is fish and chips done well !!!

The best fish and chips in Winchester. Especially good as they do a great gluten free selection of food. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Great food, the fish pie was excellent and limitless chips a bonus. The service was friendly, understated but genuinely attentive. Good value. All made for a lovely meal.

Excellent restaurant. We met some family there and sat outside. Our server was Chris, the manager, and he was excellent. Very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. We all ordered the fish and chips which were excellent! We felt the restaurant was fairly priced. They have a nice indoor seating area as well as patio space. We would all highly recommend Shoal anytime you are in Winchester. They also make their own gelato too. The Lemon Meringue was amazing!

Deliciously battered haddock and cod served with a smile by a charming Tara who could not have been more thoughtful or helpful especially as we had baby Emma with us. We had not booked but a table for found for us four, 8 month old Emma included, a high chair provided and we were made most welcome. Thank you.
