The Winchester Orangery in Winchester

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.

Lovely food, staff are very welcoming. Definitely recommend.

Quirky decor, patient staff and excellent nosh 🤗

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Beautiful place for drinks or brunch

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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!

Nice service attentive with a smile. Breakfast prepared 40 minutes ago amd served in 5 . Not cooked to order .

Love this place, the food is really delicious, really great brunch food, really cute place, I love the atmosphere, the staff are always really friendly. The Turkish flatbread is great and they do a good range of veggie options too. And the salted caramel espresso martini is sooo good, definitely worth a visit.

Lovely place. The avocado speciality dishes are fabulous!

Great service! The pan au chocolate pastries are incredibly tasty and the coffee is fantastic with a good roast! Highly recommended for coffee lovers!

Lovely coffee. Delightful staff and great ambiance.

A very nice little restaurant, good wine, with great service 👍

Service was excellent. Food was very good. Table was cleaned before we sat. Toilets were clean and comfortable. We will happily go again.

Best customer experience I’ve had in a cafe for a long time, all of the staff were friendly and helpful. Both the drinks and food tasted amazing, my sister had a cappuccino and I had an iced latte, she had the lamb flat bread and I had the spiced cauliflower soup. We loved the overall atmosphere and thought it was very reasonably priced for the quality. Will definitely return, fantastic experience.

One of my favourite brunch places in Winchester! Great vegetarian and vegan options 👌🏼

Fabulous food and drinks. Love the decor too, tables are really cool! Friendly staff. Will definitely be returning! Highly recommend

The Orangery is really well run by people who clearly take pride in what they do. The food is delicious with little touches of elegance and brilliance. The choice of coffee and teas was excellent; the latter served with tenshi cast iron teapots, and the former with great flourish. Super all round and very well located

Great service and lovely staff but really average food and overpriced. Everything was just a bit dry - the Turkish mince didn’t have much taste either unfortunately.

Cute, cozy little place for a fantastic breakfast. We both had the Waffles Eggs Benedict. It was wonderful. Such a unique dish. The service was efficient. One of the best breakfasts we've had and look forward to returning.

A great brunch location! I think I had one of the best hot chocolates here and the music just complements the atmosphere beautifully. The staff was so welcoming and attentive. I recommend bringing your friends on a nice date here!

Very warm, welcoming and friendly place. It has a diverse menu with good vegetarian and vegan options. Despite it being very busy, waiting times for food is very normal. Whilst waiting in the queue staff members talk to you several times assuring you that your table is almost ready. They are not stressed and still can smile! Comparing this to all other options in Winchester, I choose this place every time. In the surrounding coffee shops you have to wait in a queue whilst staff members are annoyed that you are in the way. Other coffee shops have their doors always open as if it is summer and most have no table service and their menu options are either too much or too little. In Orangery, the doors are shut so inside is warm. Their menu has so many options. You can have a big meal if you like, if not there is a big variety of light lunches such as avocado or egg on sourdough. I paid £13.50 for my full vegan breakfast and plus 2 Americano and 10% service charge was £22. This was very good value for me with the service I received. For many times I skipped past this place because I found their decoration (artificial plants--too much of it!) very off--putting. From outside it looks like an expansive and alcoholic place! But inside it is a warm coffee shop with internet--like the big chain coffee shops only with better food and service. I would strongly recommend this place--just ignore the decoration :))

Came here for Sunday breakfast after the Winchester 10k run, arrived at just before 10am and they were able to find a table for two, despite having not booked. Lovely place for brunch, attentive wait staff, tasty food.

Very nice place - will definitely revisit.

Food is okay but you have to wait. No pushchairs allowed. No baby change facilities. 1 staff member was obviously having a bad day which clearly showed in her attitude to customer service and suggested using the floor of the adult toilets to change our child's nappy. No apologies from the general manager. Definitely won't be going again.

Beautiful little spot, hidden away but well worth finding. Amazing food. A little cramped, but they've done the best with the space they have.

We really liked the variety of the brunch menu and what we had didn't disappoint. The quality of the food is high and a lot of attention goes into the ingredients and presentation. The staff were lovely and the service was seamless.

A bustling and lively little cafe with exceptionally good service and great food. Arrived at lunch for a small wait whilst a table became free (we had our dog, so couldn't be seated upstairs). The server was very friendly and helpful and provided water to us whilst we waited. I had a sausage and caramelised onion ciabatta and my wife had the soup of the day. The food was quick and piping hot. Sausages were of a very good quality and all told the lunch was very tasty. Will certainly be going back here.

Very rude staff, especially for a place that doesn’t take bookings. Although it was busy I had barely got in the door and said “can you take…” before an incredibly rude man just shook his head and ushered us out the door. The entrance seems to be weirdly set up to stop pram access with heavy plant pots placed very close together and appears that as soon as the staff member seen the pram he wanted us out. Won’t be back.

After a weekend in Winchester we visited The Orangery for a breakfast before setting off back home . Great atmosphere and very good quality food . Extremely attentive staff made our experience one to remember. I had the Turkish for breakfast which was a great change an English breakfast. The eggs were poached perfectly. Highly recommended when in Winchester.

I can't tell you how good this place is... But I'm gonna. I had some Turkish food my daughter something else. The food was exquisite. The service was out if this world with the back drop of Winchester. Then the bill, it was superb. My favourite food place.

Great little place, really good food. Reasonably priced. Calls itself a brunch place but it's good any time of day.
