The best restaurants in Winchester South East

Excellent beer and food. Highly recommended.

Lovely pub, we went for dinner and the food was amazing as usual. Really friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, definitely one of our favourites!

Will not be going to another Rick Stein restaurant any time soon , Did not think this restaurant was value for money. I only had 4 prawns for £16 and portion of chips was a bit on the short side for £22

(Can't directly comment on the drive thru, but it appears to be perfectly functional.) Atmosphere good and service polite and efficient. Mid morning, almost full but not overly so. Pleasant

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

Great food, good value, and super friendly service.

Fresh cooked food, amazing Sunday roast With great service

I've been here a couple of times for special occasions and my partner decided to treat me to a nice lunch. They have a pretty reasonable lunch menu for £19.17 for 2 courses. It's quite a small menu but the food we chose was excellent. My partner had the bang bang chicken skewers and chicken in a white wine sauce. I had the mozzarella salad to start followed by the vegan curry. The food was pretty good, although some of the green beans in the curry were a little but hard. As it was Halloween I just had to try the scary pumpkin desert! It was huge actually so enough for 2 of us. It wasn't listed on the menu but I had seen it advertised on the website and they were more than happy to oblige me. Overall a really lovely meal, just a few little touches missing from when we had been previously, they didn't offer to hang our jackets and there was no white table cloth on the table just paper placemats. This didn't take away from our lovely experience but just little touches that set the Ivy apart from other restaurants. With the set menu and a couple of drinks and coffee with desert the bill came to around £80. Quite expensive for lunch but a nice treat. Top tip.... its so worth joining the executive club and down loading the app as you collect points and get money off and special offers.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. The food has been good for a while but the service historically has been a little slow at times. We had a long lazy lunch this afternoon. Julia looked after us, she was outstanding, super friendly and knowledgeable, she knew the wine & food menu well. Julia made excellent recommendations which we really appreciated. Julia made the afternoon next level. A big thank you to her for making our overdue family lunch amazing! 🙏 x

My partner checked that there was no cheese in the sauce on her meal, which the manager couldn’t answer. She therefore asked to have no sauce but to have mayonnaise on the side instead. When the bill arrived, she had been charged £1 extra. Unimpressed with their attitude.

Family meal to celebrate 40th. Wedding Anniversary. Could fault it! The food was great, the service excellent and the setting was ideal. An occasion o remember. A restaurant to recommend.

Staff friendly food was ok is what it is but very disappointed as this seems to be one of the only Zizzis that doesn’t accept Taste card so for that reason we will not go back

We booked Sunday lunch with my sister and brother in law, we wanted to try the Chestnut Horse with the intention to book for Christmas. The starters were lovely but not to be said for the main course, my sister and I had the roast beef, the beef was cut thickly and the whole plate full was verging on cold, my sister order extra cauliflower cheese which arrived towards the end of her meal. We ordered puddings, my sisters came first, ice cream, and ours arrived half an hour later and was not fully as we ordered. The staff were very pleasant and apologetic. Such a shame for a lovely country pub.

First time visiting the Chairmakers with friends for Sunday carvery. The food was absolutely delicious! I had gammon, pork and beef which melted in my mouth, the roasties were so crispy! The best roast dinner I’ve been out for. Dessert was also lovely! Service was great with very friendly and efficient staff. Highly recommended and would definitely go again

Quite disappointing. Staff friendly and attentive, but lots of repetition of different members coming and asking the same questions. Had to wait for a table despite a reservation. Staff apologetic, which was fine. Menu wise, no Wellington. Ordered some other dishes, two of which had rosemary fries. Five minutes later was told they had run out and only had fat chips. Food when it arrived was fine. Then dessert menu came. I ordered a fudge and chocolate dessert, only to then be told that wasn't available either. I didn't like any of the other few desserts left on the menu, so went without. The menu wasn't extensive, so to have several items out of stock by mid afternoon have put me off making the 45min trip there again.
