Table 22 - Winchester

Fantastic Sunday Lunch, staff exceedingly friendly and welcoming, we stayed at the hotel for our wedding night 51 years ago they kindly took us up to see our Honeymoon room. My Wife says that it was the best Sunday Lunch she had ever had especially the roast potatoes and the Pork Belly which we both ordered was succulent with great crackling. They made our day extra special, many thanks.

The menu is confused and the waitress had a roll-up cigarette in her apron that fell out when she was serving us.

Very empty for a Saturday night we were the only diners in the main room and few in the conservatory. Menu is limited and several dishes had prawns with them or one crab dish neither of which I eat. Confusion over our light bite to have before the starter meant that all came together. Too much potato with the scallop and squid dish. The main course lamb was perfectly cooked but lacked any sauce and not sure about servicing with just and interesting salad alongside the crushed potato. Dessert was disaster a very solid panna cotta served in an coffee cup so no chance of testing consistency. Got the bill wrong in our favour so I handed over cash to cover the two glasses of red not charged. The hotel is a lovely setting and deserves a more interesting menu no game, venison and only very limited fish....

You cancelled my booking. nothing good to say. if you are out of business??? why do you keep sending me emails

Courgette linguine contained no courgette. Other vegetables therein poorly cooked. Soggy pasta. No seasoning. Overall a tasteless dish. French waiter very perfunctory. Two glasses of Malbec cost £17.40 a ridiculous price. Very dissatisfied.
