The Kitchen @ Winchester Golf Academy in Winchester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food and service has sadly gone downhill. I have visited many times before and the service has always been friendly and warm. However, a new member of staff is brash and very rude and has utterly spoiled my last two visits. Customer service and quality well-presented food does matter. This lady has been a bad recruitment for you!! I am not alone on this opinion.

Great food and service, however some of it's customers have let the establishment and other customers down. When we were there there was a group of unruly children messing around on the sofa's with their parents not taking any responsibility. Their behaviour was causing a health and safety issue to the very hard working staff. Dogs are very welcome and there were many in the establishment, none of them were being as disruptive in terms of noise, danger to others as the children were. I would suggest you remove the sofa's and add more tables and chairs to make better use of space and to limit bad behaviour.

My husband and I went to have lunch today. We hadn't booked a table and were lucky enough to grab an un reserved table. It is worth booking in advance. We ordered a coffee each and the smashed burger. I had it on gluten free bread and my husband had it in a brioche bun. Wow, what an absolutely sumptuous burger. I could have eaten it again, the flavours exploded with every bite. Not your usual burger at all. It was juicy too. Such a wonderful place to eat. We bought 4 caramel shortbreads to take home too, they were vegan and Gluten free.

Lovely, relaxed cafe, perfect for meeting friends for coffee. Friendly staff, a cosy wood burner, comfy sofas and a mix of tables.

A fantastic spot for Sunday lunch. Our visit today was for Mother’s Day, you want something that is fitting for a special day and that’s exactly what we got - we went for the sharing board which had pork, beef, chicken, sausages, stuffing with meat and yorkshires. All fantastic. It also comes with roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese and veg. Such friendly staff as well. You won’t leave hungry! They also do coffee and a nice piece of cake or slice if that’s more what you’re looking for. Top marks here for sure.

Wonderful food and great service. Highly recommend the Sunday lunches. They will cater for food allergy & intolerance needs.

Whata super and buzzy cafe with delicious meals and cakes ! The new manager Jack went out of his way to greet and attend to me and my dogs (water & biscuits!). Staff all seem very nice and quite motivated but I think with Jack in place this will increase as he sets such a great example. Open until 9 pm as well as lunch/supper. Highly recommend - terrace for warmer wweather plus super dog walks all round to help earn your cake !

Friends and I visited The Kitchen @ for brunch this morning. I wasn't sure whether they could cater gluten free and was happily surprised that the menu had put an asterisk after each dish that could be made gluten free. Pretty much the entire menu. I ordered smashed avocado with two poached eggs and bacon on gluten free toast. They asked me if I was coeliac. I said no, but my daughter is who wasn't with us. A great element to know. Another friend chose the 'build a brunch' option. The sausages were peppery wheeled sausages. Her breakfast looked amazing. My other friend chose the same as me, but with the sourdough, sun blushed tomatoes and no bacon. The coffee was also delicious. A must visit!!!

Fabulous cake (and a great range of other breakfast & lunch choices too!) and love that a charity benefits from builders' tea purchases. Local eggs on sale, seating inside and outdoors. Just off the A34 and free parking so a great choice if you're looking to avoid central Winchester traffic and parking charges. Loyalty card available with current rewards of free coffee, breakfast brioche and 20% off depending on the number of points earned. Worth booking online beforehand as it's often busy - only downside is that the table is often booked for someone else later on (little blackboards on the table show your name and time of booking) but great if you're just looking for a short visit.

Will be back again very soon! Absolutely delicious food as ever, excellent service. Lots of choice on the menu for vegetarians.

This used to be such a wonderful place to have lunch. But sadly it’s gone downhill fast. Unwanted changes have left limited ‘special’ restricted menu that just wasn’t needed. Guys you were fab as you were! Also staff could do with some training. Staff confrontational to me & my Autistic child. After being told we could sit a specific table were then hurried off for next customers. Such a shame this used to be which a lovely place for lunch.

Such delicious food as ever! Fantastic menu, slick and friendly service and very reasonably priced. One of the best lunches I’ve had in a long time. Ben and his team always work hard to deliver an all round excellent experience for their customers. A must visit for all.

A great spot for breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake and dinner. It's central location close to so many major roads means that it is a fantastic place to meet up. I use it frequently for both small and larger get togethers. My mum loves their sausage rolls and you can buy local eggs. We go so often that we are frequently able to take advantage of the 20% discount once you have attained 10 points on their loyalty card. Suitable for vegans, vegetarians and carnivores. Open for long hours and easy to book on line. Very pleasant staff although owner can seem a little aloof at times. Outside dining space is surprisingly quiet given its proximity to the A34. And, of course, you can always use the driving range too.

I have been meaning to visit The Kitchen for a while as had heard good things about it. A friend tempted me last week with lunch after a walk. It was the perfect day. The surrounding area is really pretty and an easy walk from Winchester. I would recommend booking as it was busy even mid-week. However our greeting could not have been more welcoming. The food standard was well above the usual cafe standards with a nice mix of healthier choices, tasty treats and vegan friendly options. I hope there is an option for outside dining in the summer, purely to ensure they have space for me to visit when it is really busy! A lovely place to meet friends or dine alone.

Just popped out for a casual diiner as it is close to home. The food was very tasty, good beer (Estrella) and a great cup of coffee

The food here is beautiful. Food for all occasions. Quick coffee and catch up with a friend. A stop off on a hike or bike ride. Through to light snacks and lunch. Take your dog or even your husband as the the staff are wonderful and welcoming. I have no hesitation but to recommend The Kitchen@ Winchester golf Academy.

Breakfast here is beautiful, and the coffee wonderful, our only slight negative is it is a little pricey, however the quality is excellent

As always the coffee and cake are great and the menu is full of delicious light meals. Staff are very friendly and always on the lookout to help.

‘The Kitchen @‘ is an absolute gem! Tucked away inside the Winchester Golf Academy, it serves great coffee, tasty food and has a relaxed feel. The staff are always friendly and greet you with a smile. This is my go-to local!

Great food, great coffee, friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, easy parking, good value - what more could you want! Went here with partner and young son recently whilst staying nearby on a mini-holiday - highly recommend.

Another great breakfast at this bustling cafe! Even when they are this busy the young team of staff are so friendly and helpful.

1st time customer at this venue. Breakfast was soooooooo tasty and cooked to perfection. Nice coffee, very friendly staff. We we always use this venue as a ‘pit stop’ on our journeys to Hampshire/Dorset areas

Absolutely delicious food coupled with friendly and efficient service. Ben, Sam and his team also have catered for a private party of ours and the food went down a storm.

First visit - really enjoyable and tasty food with excellent service. Had Hello Me bun and full English breakfast. Looking forward to visiting again. Would recommend.

It is fantastic that we can now walk to The Kitchen @ Winchester Golf Academy and sit down for a coffee or a meal. The coffee is silky smooth and delicious and the food excellent. As always the service is friendly and professional. Most recent...

So happy The Kitchen has reopened for weekend takeaway! Limited lockdown menu at the moment but we had great toasties (cakes, pastries, soup, sausage rolls etc also available). Great service (after 3 months they remembered how I like my tea!) Nice stop on a walk,...

Takeaway from this amazing foodie destination. Soup of the day was perfect with very friendly service. Coffee was local and piping hot. Cake was far too yummy to say no to. Easy to park and convenient if local or just need a A34 pitstop. What...

We walked over from Kings Worthy with our little dog and really enjoyed the soup and coffee. Service was prompt and excellent. Was reminded to write a review because I've just seen that it will be open for takeaways in lockdown. Hurrah!

Had breakfast here on the 5th October ....And witnessed the " Art " of serving people by two young men ....did not catch their names but a lovely place to go for service and lovely food ....Highly Recommend 👍

I’m delighted that the cafe at WGA has recently reopened under new management - friendly service, lovely salad bar and 3-rasher bacon baps! Long opening hours so perfect for evenings too
