“Went here with wife and a couple of friends. Food was lovely as was the wine. Cocktails were also good. We did however have a 45 minute wait for a table that was booked weeks in advance and the service while waiting was pretty poor, which did take the edge off the overall experience. Did add a couple of photos of the food but I'd already started eating before taking photos because we were that hungry from the wait 😂”

We decided to try this restaurant from my partners birthday lunch. Booking was really easy online, and they sent a reminder email a couple of days before to check i still wanted the table. We arrived a little early and they were more than happy to show us to our very comfortable round booth table. There was a good selection of wines by the glass and the bottle, as well as beers. We decided to do the lunch set menu, which was delicious, and well priced. At the end of the meal the discount via the set menu was £5 off each. We had bread to start which was fresh and crunchy. The Farmhouse Terrine was delicious served with the jam. We were pleased with our choice and the jam complemented it well. We both had the Pork Schnitzel, which was also delicious. The combination of anchovies and capers was great, the bits with the anchovy on were especially a highlight. The baby Gem was also really good. We finished our meal with delicious puddings, which weee both really good. A lovely venue in the centre of town. £50 a head for three courses and drinks. A delicious lunch

A fabulous hidden gem in central Winchester. The architecture has a wonderful ye olde England feel - lots of dark wood and leather, but at the same time light and airy spaces. The food was simply delicious. Top quality ingredients cooked to perfection. Well priced wines. Really pleasant staff who clearly want you to have a great experience. A top notch venue.

Well where do I begin with our wonderful dinner? Beautiful food, the most delicious bottle of wine we've ever enjoyed, gorgeous, cosy surroundings, and friendly service from welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable staff. We were given a little anniversary surprise making our visit even more unforgettable. We shall be back.

“We had a delicious Sunday meal here. Slow roast rib of beef and vegetables. Seasonal fruits crumble to follow. Unfortunately, we had eaten too much already. So we were allowed to take it away with us to enjoy later. The staff were very polite and friendly. And we are looking forward to a return visit very soon🤞. Thank you💐”

“I don't recall ever having a less-than-good experience of The Fisher's Pond (which in recent years became my local, though I've been coming year on and off for decades). I've probably written a review for it here or elsewhere before, but I feel compelled to write another. The food was nice and reasonable value, and these on their own would warrant a top-marks review, but what marked out our latest visit was the service. The service at the Fisher's Pond is always very good, but on this occasion it was exceptional. The booking experience and arrival/reception experience were excellent, but the in-meal experience was second-to-none. It was better than what you'd get at a restaurant costing more than 10x the price. The food arrived at a reasonable time (not slow but not too quick to be suspicious), and we were attended to throughout the meal by all the staff at just the right frequency. The main staff member dedicated to us was a gentleman called Nick, who was eloquent, thorough, professional, attentive and thoroughly entertaining. What a star. It's people like Nick to make an experience or even a whole day, and the World needs more of them. Thank you.”

“I went with my friends to this place to enjoy the amazing weather we are having this weekend. I absolutely enjoyed the place. The garden outside is amazing and they are dog friendly. We didn’t have a booking but we called 20 min before to ensure they were still taking people for lunch. The service was quick and professional. The food was great and the price was affordable. I really enjoyed my burger and my friends liked their food. I am also lactose intolerant and they were very attentive ensuring my food met with that requirement.

“A good local pub. I'd say, more of a drinkers pub than food, but I liked the way that there is a seperate "conservatory" area to eat in. Solid burger, nice ribs and gammon. V friendly staff.”
