The Winchester Orangery in Winchester

Good coffee and cake. Lovely aspect outside. Slightly pricey, hence the 4 stars.

This place is absolutely fantastic inside with original decorations. We just popped in for a quick coffee and it's the best coffee I've had. Very friendly staff

Absolutely gorgeous decor, c'est magnifique! Absolutely love the coffee here with great service too

A very atmospheric restaurant, great food and very friendly staff. We had a lovely lunch and the food was ready very quickly. In the past we have been for breakfast with our kids and dog, with the same excellent service.

Perfect vegetarian breakfast in a calm and relaxing setting.

Wow!! We had a private party at the Orangery over the weekend for my partners 50th birthday. The food was outstanding, we had canapes and the cheeseboard, they were amazing. All the staff were attentive and so kind we cant thank you enough for all the effort you put it in to make this such a special evening. Naeem you are simply the best!!!

Dropped in here for a comforting breakfast to soak up my sins from the previous night. In fact, this place was recommended by staff in a nearby bakery as a great option for hot breakfast choices. They were not wrong! I opted for the Benedict with extra bacon and sausage on the side, and my partner took a culinary adventure with the Turkish. Both were incredibly delicious - full of flavour and great textures, and also good-sized portions. Coffees were also excellent - great quality, beautiful taste and served at just the right temperature. The staff were delightful and the ambience was just lovely. All in all it was a perfect start to a beautiful Sunday, and definitely helped me shake off any lasting effects from the previous evening 😊

Delicious food, especially the soup of the day (curried cauliflower) which was flavourful and creamy without being too rich. Friendly, helpful service and very cosy and well-decorated with plenty of character.

Great place to eat! The food was delicious and all the staff there are really lovely and welcoming.

Please, visit this place, it's great food, atmosphere and staff. 🥰

Greeted with a smile. The food was perfect, and hospitality matched! I recommend trying the house blend coffee, it’s rocket fuel for the morning. Then try something from the brunch menu, it all good and everything has a unique twist on the norm. Occasionally the menu changes with the seasons, the changes are tasty, gives lots of variety for regulars.

Super cute place. The staff are amazing. The food is super tasty and fresh, plus they welcome dogs. Well done guys it was a pleasure xx

The place was warm but just warm on a cold day, the atmosphere was dull. We popped in for breakfast and to be honest we wished we hadn’t. The staff were merely welcoming and if one of them smiled we missed it. The food was minimal, the tomatoes, mushrooms and homemade beans (yuk) were barely warm. The bacon, eggs, sausage and black pudding were ok. I don’t believe we will be back unwelcoming, not great food Oh and way overpriced.

Lovely coffees and great atmosphere

OK food here. Extremely expensive though

Great place and caters to Gluten allergies extremely well.

I visited The Winchester Orangery for the first time today. It was very busy and when we were seated we were sat next to a dog. I have acute OCD related to dogs and immediately became very distressed and got up to leave. Then Jasmine came over to us and honestly, she was wonderful; so calm, accommodating and just completely got it. I've had this illness for years and when similar things have happened I've been met with a complete lack of understanding or compassion but Jasmine went completely out of her way to make me feel safe and looked after - I honestly couldn't believe it. She sat us in a quieter part of the restaurant with only a couple of tables and advised she wouldn't sit anyone with dogs in there. I can't tell you how much this meant - I was able to calm down and enjoy our visit, plus, the food was amazing! Thank you so much - we will definitely be back - top top service and food. Thanks again, Becca and Joe.

Wow, best shakshuka I have ever eaten. So tasty, absolutely fabulous. Great atmosphere and attentive staff.

Had breakfast, all round great job.

Best full English I've ever had. Ordered extra sausage and it gave me extra sausage. Would come again.

The Full English melted my brain, my family will never know me as the same person I once was. I arise Sir Holborn of the Orangery.

Had the best brunch here! The flavors were incredible, and everything was perfectly cooked. The place itself is super nice and cozy, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Fully recommend to anyone in Winchester!

A lovely, cosy place with great choices of drinks, breakfasts, and lunches, and of course, fantastic cakes. The service is wonderful, and the prices are reasonable—well, for Winchester. Additionally, there is some excellent window space for people-watching.

A friend of mine and I visited for the first time this past weekend. Two coffees (one was a Cappuccino) and two pain au chocolat. The latter were one of the best we've ever had (and I have lived in France). Compliments were given to the chef.

Just had such an incredible brunch, amazing service, proper coffee, see you next week :)

Breakfast costs 16 pounds for 2 small salmon-on-top-of pastry things and came out barely warm. Absolutely not worth the time. I swear, people in Winchester have too much money to throw around. The man manager/waiter is lovely though.

Really impressed with the service here, the staff are so attentive, polite and friendly. Food was delicious and the atmosphere is great.

Pleasant coffee shop in Winchester, delightful staff, lovely welcome, and the drinks were stunning!

Absolutely fantastic. Compliments to the Chef and staff. Good food, affordable and enjoyable setting. We will definitely be back for further visits. I hope you have many years happy trading.

Quirky decor, patient staff and excellent nosh 🤗

Lovely food, staff are very welcoming. Definitely recommend.

We were recommended this place by a staff member in L'Occitane. Lovely decor, really nice staff, good food (especially the onion soup!) Delicious coffee and super clean toilets. Highly recommend 👌🏻

Gorgeous 😍 Made me feel very welcome with my little dog. Great Mac 'n' cheese!

The food was very tasty, water at the table included. Only a small mix-up at the table when serving was quickly resolved. We were very satisfied.

Nice atmosphere, friendly service, and good coffee.

Excellent food especially the breakfasts. Coffee much better than Costa. Great atmosphere, lovely view of the Cathedral.

Really lovely and attentive staff and my avocado toast was so so good! Everything was delicious. Will be back!

Great place for lunch - efficient and friendly service, amazing value for money, really enjoyed the toastie

Great service and very nice food

First time we’ve been here, a last minute decision and shelter from the rain. Really tasty food that was on the table less than 10 mins from ordering. Great service and atmosphere. Think we’ve found our new favourite Winchester cafe 😎

Absolutely wonderful all round. Food was delicious, croque Monsieur to die for. I could be in France. Wine was first class. Service excellent. What else would you want.?

Super quick service, great food and amazing coffee. I had the vegan sausage onion jam ciabatta toastie 👌🏼 Little bit on the pricey side.

Came for a Friday lunch and managed to get a seat right away. The bar seats by the open window were nice in the summer weather. I ordered an iced black (iced coffee) and the Orangery burger, which was a lamb/beef patty and came with Halloumi fries and a honey sriracha dip. The burger was excellent and was a bit pink on the inside, as it should be. The feta cheese, red pepper mayo, and red onions complimented the burger. The Halloumi fries and dip were excellent as well. The burger was a good size and I only wished I had a little more fries because it was delicious. The iced coffee was great; not too acidic or burnt like iced coffee at many places. It was packed by the time I left, but both my drinks and food arrived quickly. Toilets were also very clean.

Recently visited Winchester and wanted to have a delicious mouthwatering breakfast and found this beautiful place which sells the best breakfast in the whole of Winchester. , 5 stars, absolutely scrumptious and the staff are very friendly and helpful. P.S will be visiting again!🙌

Absolutely delish breakfast here, really tasty and thoughtfully presented. I had mashed avocado with halloumi, chorizo, poached eggs and sriraccha sauce on gf toast. Not the cheapest but quality shines through.

Very tasty gourmet sandwiches, very warm welcome and service, and special attention paid to children. Price service which saved us to eat at 3 p.m.! Thank you for this good time.

My wife had bacon and brie ciabatta which was nice. I had pastrami & Emmenthal ciabatta toastie. The accompanying salad had a very nice dressing but the pastrami was like a sheet of tasteless rubber. Service was included in the bill. Quite expensive very disappointed.

Really nice avocado sandwich and fries

Honestly the tastiest meal out I've had in a long time

Excellent place for lunch! Great service, very good food and friendly staff. Would highly recommend

Delicious strawberry and chocolate waffle can’t recommend enough, with a lovely americano. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. We sat outside as it was a lovely day. Look forward to going back there…

What a lovely place to relax and enjoy really nice food & drink, staff are very welcoming and helpful.

Incredible coffee, great food and super friendly, quick, helpful staff!

Very nice place, a bit expensive but the food was great. The decoration was great apart from one very small issue; the table tops are made from a very smooth glass, and that makes the plates slide around quite alot.

Ate brunch there with excellent coffee, tea. and brekfast dishes. Quaint eatery inside with tables outside if preferred. The Eggs Benedict was very good as was the avocado toast. Would recommend. Enjoyed immensely.

Most of dishes have a unique take on regular menu items. We always a good service and the staff are friendly. We return at least twice a month and get a consistent experience. Go show up early for breakfast, as we know it gets busy quickly.

Excellent service, Cosy atmosphere if sitting inside Delicious food and good drinks Excellent quality and value balance. We tried 6 different dishes and everyone was happy.

Wonderful brunch before exploring Winchester. Fresh crunchy soda bread, delicious fresh eggs and lush mushrooms. Hot tasty coffee too.

First class. Great service. Run by professionals.

Great coffee and smoothie. Best bacon roll ever!

Great service, lovely coffee and amazing food. Highly recommended!

Lovely place for brunch with a girlfriend.

Decent food. Better for brunch than lunch. Brunch can be ordered at any time. Very good location. Friendly

Absolutely delicious food! Wonderful service! And a truly beautiful place :)

Great food for lunch, reasonably priced

Wonderful for a drop-in croissant and cappuccino. The blueberry croissant was delish!

A lovely place to eat. The food and service was exceptional.

Excellent brunch and coffee, and super accommodating of a 6 month old even when quite busy. The staff are friendly and the food very good.

Super sweet staff, great coffee and food. Check out the weekly specials too ❤️

Very friendly staff, great atmosphere and very homely yet professional. My mum and I would recommend this restaurant.

Lovely food and service. We made the Vegan option veggie by adding and egg halloumi, this did make it an expensive breakfast although very good. We will be back

Beautiful place for drinks or brunch

Lovely bar next to Winchester cathedral. Nice & friendly atmosphere and great cocktails

The setting and atmosphere is incredible. I’m sure that some of the tables designs won’t be to everyone’s liking. The coffee (with oat milk) has been one of the best I’ve tasted beating the like of micro roasters and niche independents. The food was well cooked and tasted fantastic focusing more on the quality of the ingredients rather than quantity. If you’re in Winchester for the weekend I would thoroughly recommend!

Had a delicious brunch, the amazing owner and his staff squeezed us in with 2 prams which was so kind. The service was great, food do tasty and decor was beautiful. Thanks so much will be back soon!

Attentive staff, found us a perfect seat, lovely coffee too. We will certainly go back

Returned for graduation celebration Lovely table for 6..Nice people and great food with a Turkish flavour

Visited recently and it was such a wonderful discovery, tasty goats cheese salad and a glass of wine, great service but non intrusive! Would highly recommend!

Had a lovely quick lunch here yesterday. The food was delicious and good value. The staff were super friendly and efficient. We spoke to Jon the guy who runs the show who was so lovely and you can really tell he's passionate about his business. Makes such a difference going to an independent place to eat.

Beautiful restaurant and has a nice menu. I popped in for a coffee and granola and it was excellent.

Lovely food and a really good atmosphere. Great place for a weekend breakfast stop.

Not baby friendly at all. You’re looked down at, made to feel uncomfortable and rushed out the door. Rude staff. Been twice for brunch with a friend and exact same experience both times, definitely not a nice place for brunch as new mummy.

This is a gem. Thank you to the proprietor and the staff. Excellent food, great value for money, good service, quiet atmosphere. I couldn’t find a fault; loved it and would go again next time I’m in Winchester.

Rude. Essentially refused to serve us as it seems our son was with us. As others have said they appear to have a unwritten no child/pram policy. Tables were available and the waitress said that it would be a few minutes wait as she was clearing and would then seat us. She didn’t come back. A man who appeared to be the manager then arrived and told us there were no tables available, despite that obviously not being the case. This was late morning on a weekday. I explained the waitress had said she would seat us in a few minutes and he told me that was not the case, I was wrong and she hadn’t said that. He actively manoeuvred us to the door. We eat out a lot and our son is quiet and we have never been treated like this anywhere. We will not go back. However, we have eaten in their Salisbury branch and they could not have been nicer.

We stopped here for lunch during our stay in Winchester. We didn't need to wait long for a table and we sat outside as it was a nice day. We both had toasted sandwiches. I had bacon, brie and cranberry and my husband had tuna melt. They were served with a salad with a lovely mint dressing and some crisps. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Really nice meals, mostly based around ciabata and breakfast. Efficient and friendly service. Tea pots are nice but tiny. The toilets are clean but small and dark so baby changing is a huge challenge.

Came here around 11.30/12 and seated immediately and brought a bottle of water. We ordered the toasted paninis (tuna melt and bacon, brie & cranberry), both delicious and just right with crisps and salad (lovely pesto dressing!). Seemed a tad slow for the sandwiches to come out, but otherwise a lovely lunch!

Nice little eating place down a back street Good food well worth a visit when in Winchester

My sister and I went here for brunch on Sunday and it was delicious! So glad we chose it. The staff were super friendly and it's really pretty inside too. Plus points for lots of vegetarian options! I had the Mediterranean avocado on toast and it's probably the best brunch I've ever had

Food was amazing and was served quickly. The staff were very friendly and attentive, will definitely be coming back

What a wonderful place to enjoy a coffee in the sun in the morning. The staff were also fantastic and made it feel great stopping there. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

I always enjoy a visit to The Orangery in Winchester. The food is always delicious, and I would highly recommend their Meze Plate, it’s packed full of flavour. The coffee is also fantastic too. Nothing beats sitting in their window seats watching the world go by whilst enjoying some great food. The service is always friendly and attentive too.

I popped along for a takeaway drink one morning and was greeted at the little takeaway hatch by a super friendly lady called Bimala (I asked for her name afterwards as I wanted to mention her here). I asked if they did smoothies and she was happy to talk me through the menu and take my order even though it was quite busy. She served me a lovely fresh coconut and blueberry smoothie. When I asked for her name, she also asked for mine, you don't often get that! Great service goes a long way and, even though I cannot comment on the food, based on the service alone I will be coming back to sample the menu!

The best food in town, great coffee and great staff. I could fly from Mexico City just to eat there again. 🫶🏻

What a wonderful experience I had this morning. Sitting in the sun being served the best vegan breakfast by a polite and efficient gentleman. The coffee art was also truly amazing 💖

A wonderful brunch spot! Everything was amazing from the service to the food to the interior of this beautiful restaurant. We had a great time and enjoyed everything we ordered. My personal favourite was the tuna melt!

I highly recommend trying the calamari at this place! We had a wonderful time enjoying Aperol Spritz and sharing a plate of calamari as an afternoon tapa. As an avid Aperol lover, I was thrilled with how perfectly it was prepared, and the calamari tasted just as delicious as it does in Spain. Being here makes me feel at home. The only downside was that they didn't offer any individual main course options for dinner, only sharing plates. However, I am eagerly looking forward to returning for lunch and trying out their menu. If you found this review helpful, please consider clicking the like button to show your support.

Lovely little find for brunch. Great selection on the menu, with options for vegan diet. Really delicious food and kind service. Facilities were well kept and cleanly.

Had a lovely breakfast and coffee here whilst sat outside. Brilliant service. Staff went out of their way to accommodate what we needed. Definitely worth a trip.

Throughly enjoyed my evening at The Orangery, delicious food with excellent service and the drinks were amazing!
