The best restaurants serving British food in St Bartholomew Winchester South East

From the name to the decor to the smashed avocado style menu this place looked promising. But my mushroom and cheese brioche roll was stone cold and the cheese was that rubbery ultra processed sliced stuff they use at McDonald's. Staff weren't remotely interested. Can't believe they had the cheek to try and add service to the bill. Super expensive too. Soup was £8.50 to give you an idea. Not recommended.

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.

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.

Service gone downhill. Dont clean the tables or remove dirty cups promptly. They dont bring your order to table, no service, very poor. Cups of coffee have shrunk in size. Will not have coffee there again. However purchased a loaf of bread which was excellent.

Stayed at Winchester Royal for 2 nights in a quiet upgraded room overlooking the garden. The bed was very comfortable and the shower in the very large bathroom was fine. It had a hot towel rail which was great for drying towels - an extra not normally seen these days. The TV remote control batteries were running out and we asked for replacements. They were replaced together with a NEW TV and remote. Never ever seen that before!!!!. A bedside lamp didn't work so that was replaced immediately as well. Ate in the restaurant both nights as we couldn't be bothered to go out and the food was lovely. Only downside was the difficulty in finding the Parchment street car park and then locating the back entrance to the hotel . Although we were advised that there were clear signs, couldn't find them at all. We cannot praise the hotel enough for the very friendly staff and the service whilst we were there. We hope to return to the hotel for the Xmas market.

Popped in for a quick pint ended up having a venison main, a match for any other offering winchester has, truly superb…..

I write my reviews on paper straight away but I’m late uploading to Trip Advisor. This is a great old pub which is full of history. I had the peri peri chicken. It was good but very hot. Next time I would ask for sauce on the side but that is just my particular taste. My husband had the steak ciabatta with salsa verde. He didn’t enjoy because of the salsa verde. He’s never had a salsa verde with basil in but this one did and he hates basil. He’s had salsa verde so many times, all without basil. Since learnt that some people do now add basil. So he will now ask when ordering salsa verde if it has basil in. Great ambience and would definitely return.

Had an amazing night at Alfie’s—definitely recommend it! Drinks, Music & friendly team were spot on! Look forward to visiting again soon.

This lovely pub was the destination visit for a wonderful birthday meal, as always, beautiful plates of food, excellent wine choice and friendly attentive staff. Cannot recommend this pub enough.

Friendly and hard work staff , as soon as the bar was empty , seemed to spend their time cleaning every surface. Poped in on a busy Sunday afternoon And got drinks quickly. So returned for breakfast on a Monday morning. very Enjoyable and good value
