Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

First visit to this little Bistro, hubby had full cooked breakfast, daughter had vegetarian breakfast and I had smashed Avocado, poached eggs less bacon but extra item Cumberland sausage which was paid for. Food arrived reasonably quickly, which was good however both of the cooked...breakfast had tiny sauce pot of beans which was little disappointing!My breakfast the Avocado was also chunky, lacked any seasoning or flavour could be more tastier. Rest of the meals were fine, as expected . We didn’t complain however as the portion of beans was tiny, both of my family thought it was tight amount and they asked for more. The waitress said no problem, and brought a small ramekin dish approx 100g and said nothing. Upon finishing our breakfast, as we were walking to the door, the waitress stopped and asked my husband to pay £2 for the extra ramekin of beans!! Could your staff have not said there would be an extra charge prior to serving or even clearing up the table? Little cheeky in our opinion.. to blame the cost on rising prices when a small can of well known tastier beans would be less than 80p ! The attitude of the waitress at the counter was not friendly and lacked hospitality training.More

Oh my goodness. What a find. A little gem in the most unexpected place. The staff were fantastic and the food came so speedily. The Aussie breakfast my wife had was really good (and we live in Sydney so we should know) but I have...to say the wild mushrooms with basil cream sauce, which I had, was a triumph! Absolutely gorgeous. They do all sorts of events and outside catering too. Really reasonably priced, too. They won Winchester business of the year this year and rightly so. Do yourselfMore

My second visit and simply blown away by the food - presented and cooked to perfect (poached eggs to die for with the Vegetarian Breakfast), service along with warm and friendly team and great lively ambience (clearly has strong patronage). Looking forward to trying my...other option competing with the Vegetarian Breakfast when I ordered - the Roasted Portobello Mushroom Brunch. Back in September for that! Simply brilliant and rare experience!More

This company catered for our work lunches/dinners during a few weeks. The offerings were stingy and tasteless. Costing £12.50pp for a company of about 50. Very easy to make tasty food on the cheap for a lot of people but I wouldn’t recommend this place...to do it.More

This is not our food - not our menu or presentation style. Cannot remove the review unfortunately but a mistaken identity.

Had the opportunity to visit unplanned last Saturday. Warm and welcoming with really engaged team keen to deliver a special experience. Only had a simple order but beautifully executed and really tasty. Great smoothie and a piece of fruit flapjack. Menu and further details on...line. Free street parking right outside. Would recommend.More

13th Jan 2023: Arrived 8.55am for breakfast. By 9.30am no one had come to offer a menu or take my order. They only have 6 tables, yet people who arrived after me were served, ate their food, paid and left yet no one even acknowledged...me. Staff often walked past & didn't stop to check if I was waiting. Worst service ever. Won't be going back on principle even though it's really convenient and looks great.More

Excellent food. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts. Freshly cooked, good portion sizes and delicious. Lots of choice on the menu with great vegetarian and vegan options too. The vegan breakfast was amazing. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely atmosphere and decor. Would highly recommend.

Was looking forward to visiting here for lunch with my partner and family. Unfortunately the menu looked great but didn’t really hit the mark. Me and my mother in law had the salt beef sandwich, I asked without the cucumber and when it came it...had the cucumber but was missing two of the main ingredients listed on the menus.. we then had to awkwardly ask for sauerkraut and mustard to make our own sandwich basically ourselves… in addition to this we also asked to upgrade or change our chips but we just got given the standard chips, which we would have understood if someone had told us we couldn’t change them, but no one did. In addition to this the chicken burger and prawn sandwich were under seasoned and to be honest be had to wait quite a while to be served when they weren’t at full capacity and would have then understood the wait. We also had to ask for one of the dishes that didn’t come out with the other food. My partner did say the coffee was great however so maybe just head there for a coffee! Did tell the staff but only got an acknowledgment that there was a new chef…More

Usually nice food, but had an awful experience when it goes wrong. I'll try and keep it brief! Ordered a burger for pick up - asked for very well done. Don't worry, we only do well done burgers, they said. Got home, burger was red...in middle and lukewarm. Rang them, and the lady just kept saying "that's not possible - they're all checked". There was no "sorry", or "what can we do to make it right". So, I had no choice but to walk back and show her the burger. All I wanted was a refund over the phone, but she basically didn't believe me until I took it back, at which point the chef apologised but the lady I'd spoken to still didn't apologise (but did say that she's usually very good at customer service!) I just left. They have our number, but there has been no contact from them to discuss or make amends since. Avoid.More

Still hungry after this takeaway! More like nibbles to have pre dinner with drinks but at the cost of a meal. Friendly and helpful staff obviously working very hard producing freshly cooked takeaway. Delicious food, however couldn’t swap one dish for us which was a...shame, as they said they were too busy….and the food for 2 was barely enough for one person, for £55 for two it was extremely poor value for money even allowing for the hike as it was NYE. The hospitality industry has been hard hit during the pandemic, but even so I expect that when I have restaurant produced food not to feel hungry afterwards!More
