Restaurants in Winchester

The ninth-century capital of England during Saxon times, Winchester is still proud of its past. The impressive medieval cathedral is world famous, along with its historic College (one of England's oldest public schools).

Close to the River Itchen, it's a city renowned for its top-drawer restaurants and pubs. Winchester is also a focal point for the Hampshire Food Festival, a county-wide bonanza that runs from June 23rd - July 8th at various venues across the county.

Lainston House - Sparsholt A long winding drive through acres of Hampshire parkland leads the way to this opulent seventeenth-century country mansion: it's an eminently peaceful retreat, out in the country just a few miles from Winchester

Hotel du Vin & Bistro The philosophy is simple: provide straightforward bistro cooking at sensible prices based around fresh local ingredients and back it up with stylish accommodation and a gold-standard wine list

Wykeham Arms As much of an institution as the nearby College and Cathedral, 'The Wyk' is a 250-year-old gem of a pub hidden away down narrow cobbled streets
