The best restaurants serving British food in Winchester South East

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 :)

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

The Brickmakers comes with a good reputation and reviews, so we decided to test it out for ourselves. We booked a table of 6 and arrived to be shown to our enormous table. It was like King Arthur and roundtable! We promptly ordered, with a mix of nachos to share, king prawns and buffalo wings. On the whole, each dish was very good, tasty and had a fair portion size. Onto mains. I opted for the Steak cut of the day, which was ribeye, served with triple-cooked chips and a side salad, we also had a range of burgers including the chicken version, and the boom-boom salads whilst on opted for the lamb. The steak dish was OK., The steak was cooked well, but was very small and quite fatty, but the biggest disappointment for me was the overall size. I could literally count the chips on one hand, and the side salad was a few lettuce leaves and dressing. All for £29. The report on the hamburgers was mixed - one guest could not eat their one due to being overcooked, whilst another reported a great meal. The lamb looked good, and the report came back it was very tasty and well cooked. The chicken burger was simply "meh" with the salads being nothing out of the ordinary. We finished off with some desserts, the warm variety (such as toffee pudding, and brownie) were obviously microwaved so this was really disappointing. Blazingly hot in the middle, cool on the outside . The most disappointing aspect for us was portion size when compared to the price. With drinks, it was around £280 for the six of us. The steak was the most disappointing, served with a handful of fries, and a tiny salad made up purely of mixed leaves. The boom-boom salads were nothing short of poor value at £14 for largely lettuce leaves. Whilst food quality was on the whole reasonably good, for the price you would expect a lot more in terms of quantity. It seemed as though no effort had gone into accompaniments to the dishes (side salads, mash, fries etc) which were basic. No complaints on service, which was excellent and attentive. Overall, we all felt that the price of the food was not reflective of what was actually served.

A comfortable dining experience with good food, a nice atmosphere and great waiting staff. The dining area is not overcrowded giving you space and the food service was quick but not so you felt rushed

We had booked the bugle for a weekend away having seen Chef Lenny on James Martin. We arrived Friday afternoon and checked into our room before popping back down for a quick beer, the bar and outside seating area were busy with a good atmosphere. By the time we came back down for our evening meal the whole place had a fantastic buzz and there was not a spare table! We were shown to our table and offered drinks before deciding on our dining choices, the food was clearly freshly made and both starters and mains were high end pub food. The rooms are a little tired but very comfortable and wanting for nothing, and whatever you asked for the staff were soon on hand. Breakfast is superb, having opted for granola with yoghurt followed by a full English nothing else was required during the day! Highly recommend the Bigle if you are in the area, we visited Winchester for the day via the local bus service which is a 2 minute walk from the pub We will be back

Im really not one to complain but the food was terrible. I ordered steak and ale pie and mash it came out with over cooked chips and a slice of meat pie. The pastry was not cooked but the dog food chunks did taste nice. Probably the worst pub meal I have had ever. And even worse it was £15. A school cook could do better. AVOID

Absolutely amazing place with fantastic food. The flavours were sublime. I watched James Martin on the TV this morning and it was lovely to actually taste food right up there of the same quality. The Scotch egg was one of the best I have even tasted. If you find yourself in Winchester search this place out.

We got married at Skylark in August and we had the most fantastic day. From the moment we booked the venue everything ran so smoothly. Chantelle was our wedding coordinator and was brilliant!! She regularly kept in touch with us and was super accommodating. The breakfast room was set up beautifully, we had a vision but Chantelle and the team exceeded our expectations. The food was gorgeous and all our friends and family commented on the canapes! We honestly could not have asked for more! Thank you to Chantelle and the team for making our special day just perfect. We would highly recommend! Thank you again, Mr & Mrs Carter

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.

The service was excellent with all the staff being welcoming, friendly and attentive. This was backed up by the quality and quantity of the food. There was 9 of us dining before an afternoon walk and the speed of the service was outstanding. Highly recommend The Plough

Food was fabulous. They offer a wide range of delicious foods that are GF and DF. Service was great. Staff were friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The environment was comfortable making our lunchtime feel not rushed. I would recommend 😊

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 had not visited in a while. With so many new eating establishments in Winch now days I was reluctant to go back to my all time reliable Monde! I’m so glad I did though! Such a warm welcome! Nothing too much trouble for Phil and his team. The place felt warm, friendly and absolutely timeless. Just love Monde, its food, service and ambience are what will keep me coming back.

A big shout out to these guys. Service & food was brilliant. We were visiting my dad in the hospital & as the visiting hours are 2pm onwards 🙄 I thought I would take my mum for lunch first. From thr first phone call, to service, & the food - & I'm fussy!!, you won't be disappointed! And portions were huge! The pickled watermelon 😱 was amazing! Nothing to fault at all. Thank you, we will be back ! Might even bring dad lol
