They serve delicious pizzas, available in both gluten and gluten-free options. The pizza was delicious and the location was fantastic. The servers were knowledgeable and accommodating when it came to gluten-free options.

They offer gluten-free options for most pizzas and have a large selection of ciders. I have dined here many times without any issues of contamination. read more They offer gluten-free options for most pizzas and have a large selection of ciders.

The pizza we had was delicious. We would definitely come back if we were in Winchester again.

The whole place needs a really good clean. The table tops were sticky and the floor and staircase filthy. The loos were not cleaned or swept and loo rolls on top of holders rather than inside. The music was so loud and booming that it was hard to have a conversation. I don’t mind that dogs are welcomed but if that’s the case food boxes for takeaways should not be stored at ground level up by the kitchen. The kitchen seemed very efficient but sadly staff didn’t react to their call for service and the cooks were ringing the bell numerous times to get their attention resulting in food sitting on the side for some time. I would return but really hope they take note and get a bucket and mop out. It has such potential.

They weren’t assistance dogs and to be fair, were very good natured, but if, like me, you prefer animal free dining areas, then it’s worth noting you may have to share your space with them if you eat here. For that reason, I won’t be returning.
