The best restaurants in Winchester South East

We had our wedding meal here last year so it holds very fond memories for us. After a long walk at Hinton Ampner we decided we were in need of a good Sunday roast dinner and the King Alfred did not disappoint. I had the nut roast and my husband the roast pork, if I am going to be a bit picky it wasn't as hot as it could've been but it was delicious and the roasted beetroot was so good. Staff and service was, as always, friendly and professional. The place was buzzing so that says it all, definitely need to book.

Order was 15 minutes early (not really an issue) which was a surprise because the pizza was luke warm. What a shame because it was one of the best stuffed crust pizzas I’ve had in a while.

took more than an hour to get our food after we ordered. food was quite good but absolutely not one-hour-wait good. we arrived at 2:15 having made a reservation already for that time, we sat down and it took them about 10 minutes to get us menus, then we ordered almost immediately. starters came after around 45 minutes, meals didn't come for around 1h 15 minutes.

I ordered a pack of 3 cookies and only 1 was delivered

Visited for 1st time on Thursday 27th June 2024 to break journey from Dorset to Derby. Parked ok and got blue badge space. Long queue and got drinks ok but had no bread for toast or teacakes at 11.18 which was disappointing. Tables were not cleared very quickly.

Very good value on a Monday evening with rump steaks cooked perfectly. Service was excellent and house wine very acceptable.

Great food,deliciousfood,and will go here more frequently,staff very kind and polite great service,highely recommend this kebab shop in Winchester best kebab I’ve eaten in a long time the last time I went to this kebab shop I was really impressed by the food and this time was the Same case really enjoyed it

From the time we arrived the service was friendly and welcoming. This continued throughout our visit from everyone serving the food and drinks and finding the high chair. The carvery was excellent, very tasty, hot and such good value for money. Great for families. We will certainly be back.

I visited there with my two young children and my mum for a drink and a cake. I ordered two luxury hot chocolates, two fudge cakes and two snow men cupcakes for my children. The order arrived incorrectly at the table without the fudge cakes and an extra hot chocolate that I hadn’t ordered but had paid for. I received a refund for the extra hot chocolate by staff member that was very polite. I then waited for the fudge cakes to arrive and realised that they were not on their way. I approach the counter to raise the question ‘where are the fudge cakes that I had ordered’ to a staff member. This person showed me the receipt and my total order was on there and paid for. The lady then told me that I hadn’t paid for the cakes and that I needed to. At this point I was frustrated with the service and did not feel it was my need to pay for the fudge cakes again as they were clearly on the receipt, she showed me. From this moment Leona, who claims to be the ‘owner’ of the Orangery very rudely and unprofessionally in a confrontational way aggressively spoke to me saying ‘I am not giving them away you have still got to pay for them Are you expecting freebies?’ I was and am completely dumfounded and shakingly shocked at her customer service, her behaviour and attitude towards me. I responded with wanting a refund and said that I was going to leave at which she asked me to bring back the snow man cupcakes to which my children had already eaten, and she told me to ‘get the children to regurgitate the cakes’. All of her communication was confrontational, argumentative, aggressive and intimidating and it was a floor show for the customers who were present. There was a significant number of people who witnessed this as the café was busy. I walked away and told my family we were leaving. I was visibly distressed, shaking with anger at the way I had been spoken to and treated as a paying customer by Leona. I took the hot chocolate that I hadn’t drank back to get a refund to which Leona very stroppily without any communication and atrocious behaviour completed the refund. I then went back to collect my family to leave, and I could visibly and audibly see Leona ‘slagging’ me off to staff members in front of other customers. She was gesticulating with her hands in a grand fashion about me. As I left I approached her to say that I was able to hear and see what she was saying about me and she said in an aggressive, chavvy way that ‘yeah she asked me what happened so I told her’ I am absolutely appalled and lost for words at the service, approach and professionalism of Leona who claims she is the ‘owner’ of the Orangery tea rooms. During this confrontational situation I became aware that other staff members appeared fearful of her as they were apologising profusely to me for the way Leona was behaving and the lady who was trying to give me the refund was stuttering and extremely nervous. I wonder what it must be like to work with the ‘owner’ of the Orangery rooms who behaves in such an atrocious manner towards paying customers. I want to clarify that the other members of staff where extremely apologetic for Leona’s behaviour and treated me as I would expect to be treated.

We always like this pub for food and that the costs are kept at a decent price. Always give you good size portions too. We have found staff always busy, the thing is you can’t tell if it’s a pub or a restaurant. Which is quite confusing, trying to do both and when you’re queuing you don’t know if it’s for food or just drinks. There is one lady there that is quite rude to people but we didn’t see her this time. But this lady will ruin this pub if she isn’t careful. But we do like the food here!

Breakfast in Winchester and The Old Gaolhouse was our destination. We were in Winchester to visit the Christmas Market and it was an absolute treat, once we'd got through the throng of Santas all dressed up and racing through the streets. The Gaol is a Wetherspoons pub and as such we knew the score... Our breakfast arrived and it was standard fair. Tepid bacon, warm baked beans, nuclear hot hash browns and barely toasted toast. It was all there. The sausage stood alone, cooked to perfection and looking all the prouder for it. A porky sergeant major, directed his under trained soldiers to go into battle. The pub was average enough to merit a visit and yet totally unremarkable.

We regularly visit here and always like to stop for food but came today and how disappointing, the menu had been changed and is VERY limited now and they no longer offer any form of dessert and have taken away all milkshakes… if you would like a burger or pizza then your fine but that’s about as far as menu stretches… I may add staff are very helpful and are working very hard… but it’s not worth the money to enter anymore as was charged £5 for entering the car park.

some man was filling up my crisp packet packet for my chips before I put he put my chips in there is a serious hygiene issue.

Excellent the mcdonalds was a great place to stop of for dinner. Its in Sutton Scotney on the A34 southbound to Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. Because when we were coming back home from Cardiff i was hungry for Mcdonalds and the sign said Sutton scotney and the brand is Roadchef so bye now
