Tuve la experiencia más perfecta. Las camareras eran una delicia total. Ellos entendieron el Menú y explicaron todo claramente.
La comida era increíble. Una deliciosa variedad de selecciones, así como uno de los mejores postres en marcha. Fresas en un horno de pasta con canela y azúcar. ¡Oh Dios!
Muy recomendable
Súper vibraciones increíbles y trans friendly
Este es un fantástico restaurante italiano. El servicio es brillante, entusiasta y rápido. La comida es absolutamente increíble. Sabroso y auténtico. Estábamos buscando un lugar con buenas opciones de mariscos y esto se ajusta a la ley. El ravioli de langosta y cangrejo es increíble, al igual que el cebo blanco.
Booked and paid a £30 deposit for lunch on Easter Sunday only to turn up to find the restaurant closed with a closed until further notice sign on the door. No message from them to inform us. DO Not Book with this restaurant wherever they are now.
Crucero por el río té de la tarde de Pascua - 100% recomendaría! La gente era encantadora y acogedora - la comida era fabulosa - vio un kingfisher mientras estaba sentado en el techo en el sol ☀️ absolutamente perfecto
Hay una gran variedad de chocolates, calientes y fríos. Probé un batido de chocolate y estaba exquisito, realmente vale la pena pasarse si estás por la zona. Delicioso!
Very good restaurant with great food. This was a Friday lunchtime visit. We chose off the 2 course set lunch menu. For starter i chose the chicken Skewers. For the main i chose the pork tenderloin . The presentation was very good, cooked just right and tasted delicious. We chose a bottle of the Los Picos £22.95 which complimented the meal well. For desert I chose the baileys panna cotta which was lovely. The service was good and friendly.
The Tudor Pass is a small restaurant in Great Fosters, the Tudor hunting lodge hotel near Virginia Water. Given the small numbers of covers it has for a sitting it is well worth booking in advance.
We went for lunch where there is a fixed menu. One unusual feature is that they don't give you the menu until you have finished the meal, which can inhibit your choice of wine ot other drink. The cost of the fixed price lunch was £90.
The dining room is small (around 16-20 covers) and tastefully decorated and certainly the ceiling reminds you of the antiquity of the room.
We arrived early so we had a glass of champagne outside on the bar terrace overlooking the bridge and pond. I would certainly recommend the Balfour English Sparkling wine over the house champagne. They were both priced the same, but the Balfour had a much better flavour and amount of bubbles.
When we were shown to our table, I was surprised to see that our napkins were not only not ironed, but were positively wrinkled, not exactly what you expect from a Michelin starred restaurant. However that was absolutely the only thing to criticise.
The meal started with four seperate amuse bouches. Each was brought out by the chefs who had cooked them. Each of them were really tasty, highly imaginative and brilliantly presented.
Likewise each of the courses were presented by the chefs who had cooked them.
To say the first course was English Heritage beetroot with dill and horseradish doesn't do the course justice. The flavours were superb.
The next course was cod with bouillabaise, lemon and fennel. The fish was cooked to perfection and each of the other elements complemented the fish perfectly.
The meat course was Hoggett (a cut above lamb, being able to live longer and graze well) with asparagus and garlic. It melted in the mouth.
There was then an optional cheese course at an extra cost, that we didn't participate in.
The dessert was beautifully presented cuban chocolate with hazlenut and armangnac.
It is definitely worth staying for the petit fours as there was a really good surprise about them.
Alex Payne and his team definitely are worthy of the Michelin Star and it is great to find this quality of cooking outside of London.
The wine list had a good range of reasonably priced glasses and bottles.
They served high quality coffee, which was a pleasant surprise.
Beyond the restaurant the grounds are well worth exploring, particularly if the weather is good.
In terms of value for money for the food served, it certainly is.
Such lovely food yet the service let you down. The lamb was cooked well and fell apart. Naan bread thin, crispy and tasty. Great flavours all round, Sadly we seemed to have been overlooked during our dining. We were offered one drink in the 1 hour and 45 minutes we sat in the restaurant. We also didn’t receive the chef’s complimentary amuse bouches, despite seeing other tables having them. We weren’t offered dessert or coffees either. Upon payment of the bill we did mention the service to the waiter, he said they were understaffed. Such a shame!
As so many reviews testify ‘Shoal’ has to be the best fish and chip restaurant we have ever experienced. Nicely designed, clean and comfortable restaurant setting or takeaway the choice is yours. In the restaurant all the staff are friendly, chatty in a good way and helpful - after we had finished we were asked “Do you want the bill or to chill?” which is an absolute first: in so many places the bill would have appeared as a means to get us out of the door and free up the table. Food? Perfectly cooked haddock in light batter, ‘proper’ chips, minted peas and good tartare sauce. We weren’t drinking but short wine list is good by the bottle or reasonably priced glass. There are
no shortage of places to eat in Winchester and ‘Shoal’ is deservedly one of the best.
We came for a private birthday party… wow! From the moment we arrived the service and attention was awesome , and very special… what a gorgeous couple ..how the dishes that kept appearing were produced in the tiny kitchen space was unbelievable… the food was delicious , and the wine was amazing …lemon cello yummi and nothing g too much trouble … oh and the baked Alaska a triumph! Absolute yum! We will be back
Have been to shoal many times and what is fabulous the food is as amazing every time cooked to perfection. Batter that melts on your tongue simple delicious 😋 the staff always very polite and it’s spotlessly clean . A real treat .
