The best restaurants serving British food in Winchester South East

Loved this place last time I went but I felt it had gone downhill. The vegetarian breakfast I had was lukewarm and felt rushed; uncooked toast, uncooked tomatoes… also, such a stingy portion for £14. The pot of beans was gone in one mouthful! I paid a lot less at another cafe this morning for a lot better quality and much more generous portion. I didn’t feel like any care went into it, and the same with the lukewarm coffee. Pretty disappointing after a brilliant time last time.

We often call in here on our cycle rides for a cuppa and bacon sandwich or full English - The food is always really good and well-cooked, and the welcome warm and friendly. A superb cafe!

Mi visita a este establecimiento fue una delicia la experiencia culinaria del chef Dave es la segunda mejor y comida gratis de lunes a viernes para aquellos de la edad de 90 años, acompañados de ambos padres :)

The best Sunday lunch that you could wish for My starter portion of Moules Marinare was just how I like them lightly steamed until they open Plump fresh and full in the shell and a very pleasant sauce The roast dry aged beef was tender and perfectly rare It was accompanied by Yorkshire pudding,lovely roasted potatoes,delicious stuffing,cauliflower cheese tarragon infused swede broccoli spears and served with what tasted like chefs home made horseradish and English Mustard The staff were very pleasant and extremely enthusiastic and efficient A delightful experience so very impressed Ten out of ten Thank you all R

On a cold February we called in to Arlesford after visiting The Grange. We thought that we just wanted a sandwich but were tempted by the 6oz cheese burgers at only £6.00. They proved to be the largest burgers we have ever had and were supplied by the local butcher. They were well cooked and tasty, the service was excellent, the ladies were chatting to everyone who came in and obviously have a great local trade. At £16 for two burgers and two teas we thought it great value. We’d definitely come again.

Top place love it here, music festival this Saturday 30th April

Lovely room (snug but well designed and comfortable), excellent food and drink, friendly staff. Quiet, convenient and excellent value.

Myself, my partner and our 1 year old visited for breakfast this morning, a last minute phone booking that they kindly accepted. The whole experience was just wonderful, the food was delicious, very fast and attentive service. A special mention for the attentiveness they gave our 1 year old son In anticipating his needs and recognition such as warning us about hot plates and placing them as far away as possible from his reach. Great attention to detail, an exceptional breakfast and will definitely be returning. Thank you very much.

I have been enjoying ‘The Wellhouse’ for a few years now. Wood fired steaks and fantastic bread. Great service, keep it a secret.

Great pub, great food, dog friendly, very friendly and helpful owners- definitely would recommend

Everything that a good pub restaurant should be. Charming friendly and efficient staff, good ambience, great food and very good beers. The restaurant is rustic and with plenty of room on and between the tables. Very busy which was good to see but did not affect the service received. We were a table of five and had starters of chicken wings and pork belly bites which were excellent. There followed stuffed chicken breasts, three way cooked pork and their ‘ultimate’ burger which were all very tasty, well cooked and the portions very generous (we could not manage a dessert!) I would highly recommend this pub and look forward to another visit.

A disappointing experience : Our drinks order was initially wrong, they missed off two of our drinks and brought three glasses of water, for a table of 5. We never did get the last two glasses. The food then arrived and we were also served a wrong dish that went back to the kitchen. The food was okay, but the brioche sausage bap looked a bit dry. Everything else was okay. When the bill came, they had added a 10% optional service charge, and our group decided to pay individual amounts of what we had, including our own tip values. When we had all paid and went to leave, the waitress came up to us and said we had underpaid by £4. I saw on the screen that the service charge was still included in the total, so I explained that if she removed it, she would see we have actually overpaid and the overpayment is a tip, just not the amount they requested. She didn’t seem to understand and insisted we paid. My friend ended up just paying the £4 in the end as we were holding up other customers. This isn’t amount the value of money, it’s the principle behind it. We are people that do like to tip appropriately and adding an optional service charge is something I would expect from a restaurant serving a full menu (starters, mains, desserts etc), not a café that provides light bites. I’m afraid I won’t be back for a while, I don’t want to feel like I can’t go there for a coffee without being asked for extra money!

Was very disappointed . We held our Company Christmas party here last year & it was very good so decided to book again this year . Our table was right by double doors leading to dancefloor and bar , last year the doors were shut whilst eating but this year open . We were freezing cold & 2 of us put our coats on in the end . The DJ played music so loud all the way through the meal so we couldn't hear anyone talking that wasn't sat right next to us !! The broccoli was practically raw .. We won't be booking it next year !!

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.

I found Piecaramba on google when looking for a non-boring place to eat given that we were only visiting Winchester for the day and i didnt want to go somewhere that i could just go whilst at home. Piecaramba did not disappoint. I booked a table and the staff were prepared, very welcoming, warm, friendly and just very tentative to what we needed. The restaurant itself doesnt look much from the outside but is bursting with personality inside and the food is exquisite. The fact that i was able to play the original playstation (which i very much played in my youth) with my kids while having pie and mash (not just a standard one either, really flavourful) and a cheeky spritzer was just amazing! I felt so at home here. Really cannot emphasise enough how much i loved this place, gutted there is nothing like this where i live. Really recommend. My kids had the best day! Thankyou.
