The Ship Inn - Winchester

I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion size of the Sunday roast we enjoyed today. The vegetables were beautifully presented and delicious, especially the sweet roasted carrots and roast potatoes – they were phenomenal. I couldn't bring myself to share my lamb because it was just too good. We had a good experience in the garden last time, but I highly recommend sitting inside upstairs for the character. The service was efficient and friendly, with no pressure to order more. The food speaks for itself. Treat yourself and make the trip – I suggest going for a long walk afterwards. I highly recommend this restaurant and commend the kitchen and front of house staff. I will definitely be returning. Jake's.

I often travel here for an evening meal, today I took the plunge and tried the pie of the day , which as it happened was chicken and bacon. The pies are made by the owner, a Romanian fellow with a name I can not pronounce, much less spell. But the pastry! OMG this is the finest pie pastry I have ever tasted. I 'm no expert, but I 'm guessing he uses flaky pastry for the pies, rather than the usual shortcrust or puff top. We do have to educate him however about gravy. You don 't serve beef gravy with a chicken pie! Not in England, anyway!

Excellent food and nice atmosphere. Local beer was good. Very pleasant landlord. Ample parking. All well kept.

My wife and I brought my parents to this restaurant for Sunday lunch to celebrate Father's Day. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The Sunday lunch menu was great and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the 'nutless roast' as a tasty vegetarian option, and the roast potatoes were amazing. The chocolate brownie was a generous size and oozing with rich chocolate. We found it to be very good value as well. The restaurant has a warm, cozy atmosphere and we are happy to have it as our local spot.

Generally made to feel welcome, charming friendly atmosphere and amazing food such quality
