The Shoe Inn - Winchester

The pub had a pleasant atmosphere, but the food was extremely disappointing. The vegetables were burnt to a point where they were unrecognizable, even the waitress couldn't identify them. The pies were overcooked, the chips were greasy, and one of our meals was completely inedible.

A fantastic meal at the Shoe on New Years Eve! Everything was excellent from the food to the service and the lovely setting. We purchased a loaf of bread from the pantry for New Years Day brunch and this was also fantastic. Have booked again for the 28th of January to try the Sunday Roast and are very much looking forward to it.

I pre booked two Christmas dinners back on November 23, and from entering to leaving an hour latter our experience was excellent, also the atmosphere was brilliant throughout the restaurant from happy customers which says it all

We visited for a Monday lunch with my wife’s son as a belated birthday lunch for him. I had the steak pie which was delicious although a bit difficult to get at with a square dish. We like the complimentary bread and balsamic vinegar while we were waiting for our main course. I had a cheese cake for desert which was a bit stodgy. The drinks were good and service too. The bill at £120 plus for the three of us which was a bit pricy for a country pub.

Had Sunday lunch with a party of 10 today. The food was perfect, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming and it was very reasonably priced. It’s a ten from me! Thank you.
