The best restaurants in Colden Common and Twyford Winchester South East

A most excellent lunch from its lunchtime menu – which I wish more pubs would have which is often preferred midday. The staff were prompt and pleasantly friendly without being cloying.

We had booked the bugle for a weekend away having seen Chef Lenny on James Martin. We arrived Friday afternoon and checked into our room before popping back down for a quick beer, the bar and outside seating area were busy with a good atmosphere. By the time we came back down for our evening meal the whole place had a fantastic buzz and there was not a spare table! We were shown to our table and offered drinks before deciding on our dining choices, the food was clearly freshly made and both starters and mains were high end pub food. The rooms are a little tired but very comfortable and wanting for nothing, and whatever you asked for the staff were soon on hand. Breakfast is superb, having opted for granola with yoghurt followed by a full English nothing else was required during the day! Highly recommend the Bigle if you are in the area, we visited Winchester for the day via the local bus service which is a 2 minute walk from the pub We will be back

How can you mess up a Ploughman’s Lunch? Come to the D&C and see. Microwaved half baguette that went dry, crisp and stale immediately. Cheese was appalling. The worst type of cheap, tasteless, doughy cheddar. Pork pie that was missing the pork. We will not be returning.

Booked a table for 8pm, we were seated at 8.10pm to a freshly cleaned table. That's the only good thing I can say about the experience. I must admit I was expecting Nepalese dishes, everything on the menu can be found at your local Indian restaurant. One dish, the Chicken Chilli and I quote from the menu, a touch of ketchup in gravy or dry. We had to ask for the menus, then we had to ask for our order to be taken. I then had to ask at 9.20pm,(an hour and twenty minutes after entering) if we were in fact going to be severed, 10minutes later our food arrived. During this time my friend had finished his drink, at no point did the waiter ask if he would like another one. The plates were cold, the food was so salty it was inedible, there was no spice to either curry and the naans were bland. The restaurant did not have any heating, when it was -2 degrees outside, guests were sat in coats or scarfs and hats. Back to the freshly cleaned table, due to the cold temperature it remained wet for twenty minutes. We were later informed the landlord was refurbishing the heating system that's why it was cold in the restaurant. I would never recommend this establishment to anyone.

Cracking meal. I had pretty low expectations but couldn’t have been more wrong. The salmon and squid ink pasta was fantastic. The chicken was lovely. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. They’re obviously trying which is great to see.

Visited last night and had food for the first time. I chose the sweet chilli prawn rice bowl and it was delicious. Seasoned to perfection and juicy prawns. Big portions. Very impressed and look forward to trying other dishes on the menu. My friends tell me the hanging kebabs are also yummy. Staff also very friendly and welcoming.

Excellent as always, delicious food, reasonably priced, I wish I’d had room for a pud. Lamb shank is a treat, tender as anything with proper veg.

We had visited the restaurant six years ago meeting some friends and had a lovely lunch.My wife and myself used to live in Chandlers Ford and have moved to Dorset and had to visit the church in Upham. We decided to have lunch at the Fishers Pond and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch the waiter was outstanding, both informative and entertaining. Really for the cost it was outstanding and delicious. Looking forward to dining there again soon.

Fantastic staff who made us feel very welcome! Delicious coffee and food, great ambience and very dog friendly. Cannot find fault!
