The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Itchen Valley Winchester South East

We visited for a booked Afternoon Tea. This was our first visit and I have to say it won’t be our last. What a hidden gem! It is a 50’s/60’s style place, so wonderfully retro. I have been to a lot of Afternoon Teas but this has to be the biggest I have had. We had homemade sausage rolls, wraps,scotch eggs and pork pie on the top tier then Coronation Chicken and also Tuna Mayo brioche buns and on bottom tier gorgeous Brie and cranberry and also egg mayo sandwiches on the bottom with very nice crisps. On to the second 3 tier stand with huge delicious home made apricot sponge cake, large Rock Roads and beautiful scones with jam and cream. My photos show all of this however along side all of this we also had potato salad, coleslaw, a bowl of salad with croutons and also pots of piccalilli and ploughman’s pickle. We could have unlimited tea, there was even little wrapped biscuits with the tea and a final wrapped chocolate. It was all very lovely and delicious, the staff serving us were amazing and I would 100 percent recommend a visit. They also do great lunchtime meals and we will be returning for their pie and mash with liquor/ gravy. This is a hidden gem.

We booked Sunday lunch with my sister and brother in law, we wanted to try the Chestnut Horse with the intention to book for Christmas. The starters were lovely but not to be said for the main course, my sister and I had the roast beef, the beef was cut thickly and the whole plate full was verging on cold, my sister order extra cauliflower cheese which arrived towards the end of her meal. We ordered puddings, my sisters came first, ice cream, and ours arrived half an hour later and was not fully as we ordered. The staff were very pleasant and apologetic. Such a shame for a lovely country pub.
