The best restaurants serving British food in Owslebury and Curdridge Winchester South East

Fantastic food and service, took my mum for her birthday and we all enjoyed ourselves food and service excellent we all had a great time

Visited a few weeks ago on a Sunday. Quite a boring pub in fairness, not much of an atmosphere was pretty cold in the bar area, and the drinks were average. Can't comment on the food as we didn't eat, but the restaurant was fairly busy. It was more of an eating place, I imagine, as one drink was enough and had no desire to stay for another.

We went as a family of 4 for Sunday Lunch, 2 Adults and 2 children under the age of 12. The children had what they described as the 'best burgers they've eaten' and both cleared their plates, followed by Chocolate Brownies. We both chose the Roast, I had Roast Beef and my husband had the trio (Beef/Lamb/Pork) with side dish of Pigs in Blankets and Cauliflower Cheese! The food all came out hot and freshly cooked. The side vegetables were perfectly cooked. I have an allergy to Rapeseed Oil and it was so nice to be able to eat in a establishment that doesn't use it! The staff are friendly and attentive. Hands down the best Roast Dinner I've eaten other than my own. Added bonus is they have a Dog friendly area inside. Remember to bring a healthy appetite!

We were given a gift voucher at Christmas for afternoon tea with a glass of Prosecco. What a pleasant surprise it was when we went inside, the owner immediately welcomed us and showed us to our table. Our large glass of Prosecco was very enjoyable, it was clear all the sandwiches were made as we were sat down, very fresh and tasty. Warm scones and a choice of various cakes on show. The service and atmosphere was wonderful, I wish the owner all the best in making a go of her business.

Having had our daughters wedding at this venue this weekend and after all the trials and stress that goes with planning a wedding I had to write this review while still reeling in the the overwhelming success that was largely due to the staff at Wickam Estates. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole day was marvellous. The setting is superb. Not the cheapest venue by far but worth ever penny. I would have no hesitation in recommending this venue to anyone. Thank you so much.

Visited on Friday 4th for a family meal 14 people the food was delicious and the service excellent can’t recommend enough 5star

£26.50 for a day pass, although asked for £30 which includes donation. Our party was made up of 5 adults - we didn’t donate. To put into context, my husband and I have been members of Marwell in our days before our children. It holds a special place in our hearts. We moved away but always managed to make at least 2 visits a year as the children grew up & still do - the kids are now into their 20’s and often visit with us. Sadly the experience over the last 10 -15 years has progressively gotten worse. Every time we go we hope it will be better. Marwell was always at the forefront of conservation and education & had an extremely successful breeding program for the rhinos and giraffes. Much money has been spent on enclosures that didn’t work, the snow leopards, the cheeta, the walkway over the persian leopard, now cloud leopard, the new tropical house, the gibbon enclosure, kids play areas. Now it is a shell. Few animals, lots of paddocks full of weeds, & plastic bottles & little or no information. The annual membership is a steal but place feels more of a kiddies play area than a serious home for conservation and education. It’s expensive and disappointing. Bit on context - The Cotswold Wildlife Park is £19 for an adult. A much smaller facility but full of animals and information & staff happy to help and answer questions.

Please rethink. We are here during half term. Busy? No. One other table only yet service took too long. The higher prices don’t match the quality of the bland food. Everything we had was dry and chewy.. we did complain and got one meal refunded as it was pork belly with no pork! The kids meals were ok to be fair but the main menu was awful, pizza was bought in and dry, ham crumbled upon touch. The greens with the mains were undercooked and spikey. The menus were laminated plastic like a cafe which doesn’t match the £29 price tag for some meals. No music, weird atmosphere. Breakfast was ok, basic and warm but left a lot to be desired sadly

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.
