Churchill's Catering Consultants

My friend and I had such a great experience on our visit to Churchills, at Lesley's suggestion, we visited Winnie's, housed in the same building. It has a wonderful dark wood, cozy atmosphere. There were 3 television screens, but the way they were positioned, they didn't interfere with the ambiance. They have been experimenting with putting tapas on the menu, and are having terrific success. We shared one of them....Cultura Caesar....the "smokey glass dome" presentation....very special and SO GOOD! We also shared one of their special burgers...equally as flavorful! For a quiet and/or romantic interlude, or just great meal (they will also serve any meals from the Churchills menu), Winnie's is a great choice.Our waitstaff was super! I apologize...I didn't write down her name where I can find it...she has a very long ponytail and warm and friendly manner...loved the way she handled the whole room

After a long day at work, my colleague and I ventured into Winnie's relishing the chance to enjoy a pint or two of decent beer and some good food. Both of us were wearing running shoes but were otherwise clad in long sleeved button up shirts and clean jeans. Not beaters, shorts and flip flops. Not mud caked work boots and sweaty t-shirts with scruffy pants. Neither of us had seen a razor for a few days, but a bit of facial hair never does Brian Blessed any harm. Basically, we were two professionals with deep wallets and a thirst who were casually dressed.There was a small but impressive craft and imported beer selection on draught and a small but varied menu. We had been led to believe that Monday night had a rib special. It didn't, apparently. The only special available was that of the less casual restaurant that the 'pub' is attached to. Two pints of the local beer were ordered and our server went away returning shortly with some fumbled excuse that "they had run out of the gas that sends the beer to the pumps". So - no draught beer, allegedly. Strangely, the server had been nowhere near the bar to discover this and the bartender had seemingly managed to just pour some beer for other, presumably more suitable customers. "Never mind", said I, "Do you have bottles?" "Yes," was the response, before being given a list of the usual low quality suspects (Coors, Canadian, Bud). "Do you have something that isn't those?" I asked. "We have lots," replied she, before going behind the bar and looking in the fridges. She came back to tell us they had "Bud, Coors Light, Canadian and Corona."So...a pub that has such interesting beers on tap only sells four generic, pig-swill lagers in bottles?As my thirsty colleague and I left to go to the apparently much better stocked Beaver and Crown down the road, we couldn't help but wonder if we'd been subtly edged out of Winnie's. What kind of so called pub would run out of gas? Why did the 'extensive' bottled beer collection suddenly equate to four of the same dross you can get at every bar in the country? I can only suspect that we didn't look like the sort of people they want to attract. Perhaps a sign on the door saying 'No Riff-Raff' is their next step. Disappointing.

We didn't want to spend a lot of money for dinner and we thought this pub would provide that. It did. There wasn't any room in the pub to eat, so the waiter had us sit in the Churchill restaurant but said we were welcome to order from the pub menu. We actually ordered from both menu's. A very large mussel in a white wine cream sauce for 12.00 that four of us split. If I could have eaten the cream sauce with a spoon I would have, but my husband would have frowned at that...My daughter and I had the chicken curry with nan which was a very English style curry. My husband had the Angus roast beef sandwich and my other daughter had a burger. The portions are ample and they were very delicious. It was also a minute walk from our hotel. We will be going there again tonight.

We ate here based on some locals recommendations. The food was very good but pricey for a quasi-pub atmosphere. The menu was very, very limited with just 5 options. Make sure you order the prime rib sandwich - yummy!

I have not had prime rib this good. A must have here.... the place and furniture is a bit date but the food is so good. The bread and dip was incredible. ...
