The best restaurants in St Michael Winchester South East

Very good customer service worker very nice would definitely come again would recommend food is high quality I bought a kebab last time very lovely and the garlic sauce is very nice thank you

Went to the stable for a birthday there was only one other group there! Great quick service would have been expected, it was the opposite. We felt as though we were being ignored and the staff would rather get on with downtime tasks than actually serve or pay attention to the TWO tables of customers. We were not welcomed when we entered and we weren’t said goodbye to when we left. I work in hospitality myself and this would not happen. Please train your employees properly and professionally.

The coffee, cakes and cookies here are excellent! The baristas are experienced and always make the perfect flatwhite. My friend recently had a skinny hot chocolate which she absolutely raved about.

Delivery time was great however I ordered a 6 piece pizza box and when the items arrived the pizza was all squished together and damaged as the box hadn’t been handled with care / hadn’t been handled flat like the instructions ON THE BOX say so.

We went here for lunch so I can’t say anything about the rooms. The food was great and very good value. Service and ambience excellent.

Another lovely lunch at Ricks, staff very attentive as always. We both had the steak which we have had a few times as it’s always good.

The pub doesn't look like anything special on the outside, but don't fooled because it is so special on the inside. After a long walk we were ready for a rest and refreshments. There are benches at the front where you can enjoy food and drink, and an area around the side with a covered marquee, but we chose to sit inside. Superb food, we opted for the game and vegetarian pie, the chocolate brownie was the best we have ever tasted and the spiced apple crumble with custard. The staff are friendly and very attentive. Bathroom very clean and inviting. Interior is very warm and inviting with the real fire lit. We were so comfortable there we ended saying for a few extra hours, and enjoyed an extra dessert, shared a slice of chocolate cake which was located on the bar. We had such a lovely experience, we highly recommend this pub.

We booked a table and so glad we did, restaurant was packed, was greeted by Martin who was lovely, very friendly funny guy, had our orders taken, food so tasty, we loved that we wasn’t rushed and could take our time between courses, definitely recommend this restaurant

Me and my partner visited this restaurant last night. I made a reservation for 6pm. Unfortunately our bus did not turn up and we had to get a later one. I phone the restaurant at about quarter to 6 and told them we should be there by quarter past as we are running late and I apologised. The woman I spoke to said 'that's absolutely fine'. We ended up getting there at 23 minutes past 6. I acknowledge we were late and I apologised to the woman who greeted us as soon as came in. Her response was "you are late, after 45 minutes I will need to give your table to someone else. Your reservation was for 6pm and it is not 23 minutes past". I was fully aware of this, hence, why I apologised as soon as I set foot in the restaurant. I was gobbed smacked at the tone of voice. We were then rushed over to a table where she walked so fast I couldn't keep up and some menus were hurriedly shoved down on to our table. We then sat there for 5 to 10 minutes. I thought no one would come to take out drinks order for a long time probably and as I hadn't liked the attitude when we received, I decided to leave. The same woman approached me as I was on my way out and asked if everything was OK. I responded no we are leaving to which she replied 'let me show you something'. Presumably she wanted to show me there was a booking in after us hence why they needed the table back. There is a way of saying things though and treating customers. I'm afraid if I am spoken to like I am an inconvenience from the instant I set foot in your business , I won't come back. You've lost a customer Zizzi as there are plenty of other decent restaurants out there.

Clean tidy with pleasant atmosphere

My husband and I had passed the Dispensary Kitchen a few times, the food always looking delicious. When we did stop there we loved it! The lamb burger was our favourite. The menu wasn’t vast but everything we had was really good. The staff were Delightful and Engaging, which added to our enjoyment. Refreshingly there was no service charge added but we were very happy to tip the staff. Highly recommended

Nice atmosphere attentive staff and they sell Doombar.Saw several people walk in then leave because the place was full but you need to go further there are tables out the back and upstairs so make use of them. Next time i go i will try the food it looked good.

Lunchtime hunger saw us opt for this lovely little bakery, it was rammed with customers but service was very efficient.- superb selection of pasties and cakes for all requiremennts - excellent service from counter and serving staff. Lots of tea selection, but maybe a more comprehensive selection of teas ! Nevertheless a great place to go for lunch. Great tea-pot by the way !

A great location for a Tea Shop so close to the Cathedral and Winchester College. The tea room itself is quite quaint - just what you imagine it should be. A delightful place to catch up with an old friend for an Afternoon Tea. Service alas, on our visit, was somewhat haphazard. Afternoon Tea for two was duly ordered - unfortunately it appeared nothing like the photographs in their advertising. First the sandwich plate arrived - four thin finger sandwiches (two of which were egg, one salmon, one I can't remember), and a mound of dressed salad - way more than any garnish. Not quite what we expected. Then came the cake plate - two (smallish) fruit scones, cream and jam, along with a slice of Battenburg cake, and a square of carrot cake and a cake of chocolate and Guinness cake. Both squares of cake were tiny. Problem - how to share 2 small cakes between two hungry ladies. To be fair, the scones, cakes and jam were obviously home made and very delicious, but a taste is really all we got. I've given a rating of Average for this place. This is because TA jumps from Average to Very Good. I believe their should be a Good. Would I go again? Yes. I would like to try this place again even though I found it quite quirky. I probably wouldn't order Afternoon Tea though. Would I recommend it to others? Yes, if I think they understand quaint and quirky.

I didn't really give this little cafe much of a trial today but really enjoyed my coffee in what felt like a safe and convivial environment. Well worth visiting to make sure this little escape place stays functioning.
