The best restaurants in Winchester South East

We love Shoal - it's reasonably priced, the service is always good and the food is spot on! Make sure to save room for a gelato after!

I’ve always been a fan of pie and chips, but the standard of pie you get in some chippies these days is the same as you get from the supermarkets. But at Shoal I have found the pies to be fantastic. These are handmade, with lovely pastry. The chunks of meat in the beef pies are delicious. The waitress in the take away says they are made by Karolina on site. I’ve had to join the gym to counter the effects. The chips are brilliant as well. If you’re in Winchester and fancy pie and chips, Shoal is the place to go.

Visited twice this month, excellent, attentive customer service, lovely food and wine. Very fine example of a great Thai restaurant.

Very good food as usual. Very much recommended. Piro paneer and chicken shashlik was very good. Would recommend for anyone. Friendly staff

Booked Afternoon Tea as a treat for my sister. Had to order sandwich fillings in advance from a really good selection. Perfect Afternoon Tea, had so much food had to have a doggy bag. Service was great, really friendly and checking if anything needed. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back. Place was really busy for an afternoon during the week as well.

Totally surprising place making delicious alcohol-free cocktails with extremely researched ingredients, the vast majority of them locally sourced if not self-grown. The place is like an intimate garden; the scent the choose to diffuse is relaxing and interesting. The owners are charming and welcoming, as we entered they gave us a tasting tour of their specialties!

Exceptional sushi - the best that I have had in the UK. Personal favourites are the white tuna jalepeno roll and the ikra nigiri.

Really good coffee, enjoyable atmosphere with very friendly and helpful staff. Prices aren’t as bad as expected given it is in central Winchester, and a lot of lovely decor

Had a lovely lunch and a very nice game of golf today. The service was great. One thing of note was the tea-two spoons it was delicious. Well done to everybody at the Winchester golf Academy.

Fantastic dining experience. We did the chef table (when he cooks in front of you) and It was dinner and a show! Chef Christopher was amazing and so funny. He made the evening and his food was incredible. Best prawns I have ever eaten. We can’t wait to go back with friends. Service was also incredible. Always ensure we had everything we needed. 100 out of 10.

Really good food excellent value and freshly cooked. It is a must for a visit. It’s also very clean with friendly staff. ❤️❤️

We ordered the food online with Marse, which was delivered quickly by Deliveroo. The meals are reasonably priced. I ordered a Combo Rise 2 and momo chicken, while my brother-in-law had a Combo Rise vegetarian option. The food is tasty and well-cooked, and I'll order again with them next time I am in Winchester with my wife and family.

Lovely little cafe in Droxford... Today we arrived a little too late for lunch and missed the savouries, but the staff were happy to make a cheese sandwich for my son (which was very accomodating) and the tea is always lovely in the surroundings. We love this little cafe and occassionally travel from Portsmouth specifically for it. You won't find a regular food menu but there are always delicious handmade cakes and (earlier in the day) toasted sandwiches along (sometimes) amazing locally made soups. The staff are lovely and the church surrounding and history are a treat.

The best little cafe in the area. The food is freshly cooked. The staff so friendly. Helped me get through many a cold morning recently!

Got into Winchester and had an hour to kill. Found this place near the station and grabbed a coffee and a pan au chocolate - both were fantastic. Multiple plugs to charge laptops/mobiles and good wifi.
