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.

We had a posh picnic from The Little Kitchen Co after lockdown eased enough for us to have a day out with the bikes in the New Forest. We treated ourselves to a posh picnic as we've been working so hard, we felt like we could spoil ourselves.
,
We ordered enough for 2, as we thought the kids might be a bit fussy, but our teenager said the sausage roll was the best he'd ever had. There was a delicious potato salad, tomato salad, lentil and butternut squash salad, crudites, hummous. We loved the ham hock terrine with homemade picallil., and then the puddings - delicious lemon pannacotta, shortbread as well as very yummy chocolate brownie. We couldn't eat all of the picnic and brought it home and had again for lunch the next day.
We are definitely ordering again - it's the ultimate treat for a lovely day out.
Thanks Little Kitchen Co.!

We had a socially distanced birthday posh picnic from The Little Kitchen Co in our garden. I felt we all deserved a little treat, not just the birthday boy!
I ordered 6 adult picnics and 6 children's picnics and was a little worried that there wouldn't be enough food but I was wrong. It was fantastic, we basically ate all afternoon and spread out the courses. I'm not sure any of us could say that one thing stood out as it was all stunning!!!
Thank you Little Kitchen Company, I'm sure I will be back!!

We ordered picnics from the little kitchen company literally the day before Boris would have cut our numbers down from 30 to 15.
They were delicious. The beef slices were cooked perfectly and the sausage rolls and quiche etc was a delight.
They were delivered on time and even distributed by the team into the correct covid places.
The company was well organised and a delight to work with I cant recommend them highly enough.

Thanks so much for taking the time to give us this feedback - most importantly I'm SO glad we could help and get you married before the change in guidelines!

We used the the little kitchen company on the recommendation of another company that was fully booked (Peapod and Co). The job was to cater for 30 people for our son's christening. They misrepresented the food that we selected from their menu (for example did not put creme cheese in the smoked salmon sandwiches and stretched the smoked salmon so thin that you could see the bread underneath), overcharged for what was provided (over GBP100 for a pot of shop bought hummus; were unable to provide an itemised invoice; served our delicious champagne warm despite assurances that they would use an igloo to cool it; their lemon drizzle cake they refused to make into a christening cake probably because these were also shop bought (all uniform with a squiggle of icing and very dry). We paid the bulk of the invoice the day before and continued to press for an itemised invoice (they refused to provide) and they sent an email saying they would not proceed without full payment. The day before! Extremely stressful. Further testifies to the fact that most of the food was not home made. I can only assume some other dissatisfied customers have had a hard time understanding what exactly they are paying for hence the need to collect full payment up front. I have not experienced this with restaurants before and I understand it's not normal practice. All in all for a client who loves good quality food and value we were very disappointed. I would absolutely encourage anyone reading this to find a different catering outfit.

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!

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…

With current Covid restrictions, only take-aways are allowed. The New Year’s Eve Tapas take away was just great with highlights for us being the calamari, salt baked beetroot and pigs in blankets. All ready to collect hot at the agreed time. Thanks so much guys and for all your efforts on behalf of others during this difficult time. Look forward to full re-opening in due course.

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.

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

Better than the high bar I remembered! I called in for a brunch this morning - brilliant vegetarian breakfast (poached eggs absolutely perfectly cooked) with really fresh ingredients and a choice of toasts. Amazing cappuccino all combined with very well executed and friendly engaged service. Can’t recommend highly enough. Please seek them out - it’s worth it!

We popped in last Saturday for breakfast. Really lovely atmosphere and very friendly, helpful staff. I had mushrooms and spinach on sourdough toast and my other half had a bacon bap. Both meals were generous portions and absolutely delicious. We would highly recommend and will definitely return.

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.

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.

Thanks for providing some feedback, we always value constructive and valuable comments. After discussing this incident at length with the Manager, head Chef/manager on the evening this occurred, as well as three customers who were in the Bistro at the time this took place who were quite shocked at the exchange. Judging from your comments you have decided not to come back and to “avoid” which seems like the best solution. We are always accommodating to all customers - see other online reviews - and if we get something wrong, we remedy and apologise. This is what my staff did and unfortunately were met with such abuse my manager was left shaking and in tears.

The Little kitchen Bistro recently catered a funeral I attended in Shawford. The company is so professional & efficient. Every morsel from the samosas, the mango chutney & sandwiches to the lemon meringue pies …
It all looked like something from
Alices’❣️Wonderland.
I shared a mini victoria sponge & I don’t even like cake. Thank you for making everybody feel at ease on a beautiful summer’s day in an English garden. 🪴

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 yourself
