The best restaurants in Wickham Winchester South East

Excellent experience all thanks to Katie Duke!!

Very disappointed, says will open ‘weather permitting’ at 0800, we arrived at 0940 on a bright spring morning, but Deck on the go not open, asked when they would open and told ‘not sure they were busy doing things’. Drove by 10 minutes later after getting coffee elsewhere and they were open. So our limited contact says they don’t care about customers and don’t need new trade.

Place never seems open and always dead! Very small inside.

Excellent restaurant, will definitely be back.

Not overly impressed for a number of reasons. 1) menu is okay if you like cheese. If not, there’s not much choice 2) service was very slow. I had to chase the food as it arrived about 25 minutes after our teas 3) cups served with the waitress gripping the rim of the cups, bearing in mind she’s serving at the till and handling money, not very hygienic. 4) had to ask for milk to go with the tea. 5) ordered a decaf and regular tea, when it was served it was plonked down in front of us and the waitress was about to walk off without saying which was which. Had it been one of these things, I wouldn’t have minded but the overall experience means I won’t be returning.

Got to be one of the worst Indian meals in a long time, half tandoori chicken was so dry and aged looking. People were nice enough, I didn’t complain as don’t want to get into it, I was only visiting the area but definitely won’t be going back. Shane as nice little square…

Had a great sunday lunch on their last day before closing sadly! Buzzing afternoon though!!

Eaten here many times and the food is always amazing. Definitely the best Dhansak in the area! Service is always good and prices not too bad. My go-to Indian in the Fareham area and highly recommended.

Lovely family meal, perfect for children. We love this place for a family meal because the food is good quality for what you pay for and represents excellent value . The food is really well cooked and our rather fussy children really enjoy it and eat everything served to them which is rare these days. £4.99 for a children’s meal, including a main with two sides and a generous dessert is incredible value. We don’t always like to take a risk going somewhere new as often the food can be wasted. With the red lion and we know what to expect we know the kids will eat what they’re given and everyone is happy. The only downside for me is that every time some food is ready for the service to collect from the kitchen you hear a very loud bell which can become a bit irritating. This is a very minor downside otherwise this place is excellent for a family dinner.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently visited The Roebuck Inn with my partner for a special occasion—my birthday—and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We started with the Spiced Lamb Cutlet, which was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. For mains, we had the Specialty Lamb Madras and the Spiced Salmon, both of which were exquisite. Every bite was a delight! To make the evening even more memorable, the staff surprised us with a complimentary birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful touch. The wine selection was excellent, and the service was truly brilliant—attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. The Roebuck is a gem, and I can’t recommend it enough. Whether for a special occasion or just a great meal out, this is the place to go.

Visited on a Saturday night. The food was ok, not the best curry I’ve had. Was looking forward to trying some unique dishes. The Narangi Batakh was disappointing as the duck was quite tough and the sauce was not ‘korma’ as suggested. The Fish Malabar sea bass was also a bit overcooked so that wasn’t great. There was also confusion with what we ordered - we were told they were out of sea bass so we ordered another dish but then they brought the sea bass curry anyway. Also the chicken pakoras were not what I was expecting as they were just chicken chunks in a breaded coating like chicken nuggets. Anyway, the Goan Chicken and Assam Lamb dishes were nice and the Onion Bhajis were delicious. The service was ok, the waiter seemed a bit fed up and the atmosphere was dead. We were seated upstairs by ourselves with no music and just people walking in and out to find the bathroom… Probably won’t go back.

Nice dog friendly pub, had the curry it was lovely, friendly service,nice atmosphere,would recommend and will return

NO LONGER A CAFE, NOW A HEALTH CENTRE AND GYM

Well, the Old Tea House appears permanently closed and the village has lost a great asset and social hub . For the last year, the venue has appeared extremely confused about what it wants to be and who it is catering for. Clearly its former customer base felt the same and have stayed away in their hordes. This has been a tea room for as long as I remember- I recall coming here as a child decades ago and I think it is a tragic loss to the village. It is a wonderful spot to sit outside and watch the world go by or to sit inside in inclement weather. The best thing the owner could do for the village is to sell or lease it to someone who wants to bring the soul back. Tragic.

Lovely fish and chips, phoned ahead and asked for skinless and it was no trouble. Nice light batter and fresh fish. Chips were great too. Lovely.
