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

Superb “Posh Ploughmans” with good, well dressed side salad. The London Fog Earl Grey with caramel and steamed milk is a must try!

Really friendly helpful staff . Two young men one called Jack served us all afternoon. We had lovely food and drinks . V accommodating with the table for the rugby . Thanks guys

We were visiting Winchester for the weekend and fancied a roast lunch. We were a group of five and found this place online that had good reviews. It was a short walk from the centre of the city, but it was so worth the extra steps. We found a beautiful little pub with loads of character, and had one of the best roast dinners that we have all had in a very long while. Between us we had the beef, pork and chicken , all of which were beautifully cooked, with the most perfect roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings, and really flavoursome vegetables. The roasted parsnips and carrots were particularly good. And the gravy you could quite easily have drink from a mug, it was that delicious. After all that we thought dessert might be a bit of a let-down, but quite the opposite. The orange marmalade bakewell tart (yes you've read that right) was amazing. Beautifully thin, short pastry and the tartness of the marmalade balanced so well with the sweetness of the frangipane and the (nicely thick) chantilly cream. And to top it all the service was really friendly and attentive. We all agreed that, if this was your local, you would never go anywhere else.

Amazing food and portion sizes. We had a crunchie cookie sandie and a caramel brownie. They were both quite sweet so we could only eat half at a time. But the flavours were amazing 🥹

The pub doesn't look like anything special on the outside, but don't fooled because it is so special on the inside. After a long walk we were ready for a rest and refreshments. There are benches at the front where you can enjoy food and drink, and an area around the side with a covered marquee, but we chose to sit inside. Superb food, we opted for the game and vegetarian pie, the chocolate brownie was the best we have ever tasted and the spiced apple crumble with custard. The staff are friendly and very attentive. Bathroom very clean and inviting. Interior is very warm and inviting with the real fire lit. We were so comfortable there we ended saying for a few extra hours, and enjoyed an extra dessert, shared a slice of chocolate cake which was located on the bar. We had such a lovely experience, we highly recommend this pub.

The best way to describe this pub is A museum set up by and insane victorian inventor. Where you get a free beer included in your entrance fee. Great pub , great and friendly , hard working staff. Would recommend this pub to anyone. Too much for the eyes to look at, and too much for the mind to take in, on one visit.

Bradley was a top man and provided the best service! Quality drinks and friendly service. I will definitely be coming back

Very disappointing. Expensive for what it is and seems to have gone downhill. Lovely building and environment but food not very warm, fish and chips greasy and burger very average A shame

Met with family in Winchester for a meal. It took a while to find a pub to get booked for 6. We had Sunday lunch today. It was brilliant! And it tasted homemade rather than from the freezer. Between us we had the nut roast, roast beef, lasagna and fish pie. Excellent and generous helping of vegetables and roast potatoes.

Advertising themselves as a sports bar/European cup showing pub with flags everywhere. Turned up with several friends to watch a game along with multiple people in the bar, no commentary on the game, only music!!! Several attempts to get the music turned down met by “we have to ask the landlord’s permission”! Crap atmosphere & even worse management. Won’t be going there again.
