"We had a family lunch at the Rick Stein 's restaurant in Winchester on the 2nd June, 2024, and went for 3 set menus. Fish cakes from the starter (cod) and main course (salmon) were both very dry, gaspacho was ok but the taste was far from what should cost over 9GBP. But the 'cherry on top was the Spelt risotto that was really bad: the vegetables were over-cooked and soggy, parmesan was grated before the plate was served and did not look as freshly grated. It may sound alright for some guests but this is not your local pub! Green beans do not need to be boiled until soggy! This is the place that charges 50GBP for a plate of fish! I did not raise concern on the day as I was there with two kids who are getting excited about fine dining and I did not want to ruin their experience. I do not think the restaurant is run by Rick Stein but it is rather a franchise where chefs who cannot cook or can 't be bothered, and use Rick 's name instead to charge a fortune for a 'bad pub meal . Very disappointed, will not recommend and will not come back."

Fine restaurant and good, attentive service but it's not great value for money. I had the seafood ragout at £32 and though good, it was very expensive for what it was, a feeling echoed by all the table. View menu

My second recent visit and each time excellent customer service and the Sea Bass meal 2 of us had was fantastic. Simply cooked but so delicious. Great choices of desserts including the Winchester pudding and cherry bakewell tart excellent. Would highly recommend this restaurant as a special treat. Thanks so much to attentive staff who made our visit special and not rushed.

First visit to this restaurant in Winchester high street, it is nicely laid out, relaxing and bright,busy and bustling. We went to celebrate my 17th birthday it was the 29th February! .Our server was Niall and he was attentive and knowledgeable . We both had the fish soup which was excellent. Then Dover Sole delicious. It was pan fried in brown butter and filleted, served with new potatoes and buttered beans. I would go again. View menu

First time here at the Winchester restaurant, so went with no preconceptions of what to expect. It couldn't have been any better, from the moment we walked in the waiter Ali A was very helpful and friendly nothing was to much trouble. The food was fantastic from start to finish, our son had the Fruits De Mar Large it was a show stopper after his Oysters to start with, my wife had the Winchester pudding which was to die for she said. We were happy with the final bill, as everything was first class. We will return when we are back down there again. Ps forgot we all enjoy the music from the live musicians nice touch.

Was so looking forward to lunch at this menu and the first two courses of the set lunch menu did not disappoint. Arrancini and beef rending, both well cooked and very tasty. However the ginger syrup steamed pudding let the whole thing down. It was served looking lovely but on cutting in to it, it was stone cold with cold custard to match. T9ld staff and they took it away to be warmed. Brought it back a few minutes later and again it was stone cold! Apparently it was new to the menu and had only come into the restaurant the day before so they were getting used to it. Can't quite believe chefs in a Rick Stein restaurant don't know how to heat up a pudding! Apologetic staff but no offer to redu...
