What a difference a few days make. Reopening 27 February after a significant make over it has really made a good cafe superb. Bright and airy, fresh and clear the excellent food is set off well. The same super friendly staff set the whole thing off. Coming to Winchester, enjoy the protected outdoor patio area shaded from the wind but in the sun. This is the place to eat coffee, lunch and tea. Extended opening times too. Now open 09.30-17.00. Well done the team from Martin and Poppy. New dog treats too! Even Pete the Robin is back ready for a full tummy Spring.
Lovely venue. Had come here to meet a friend. We had two rounds of drinks and some food. Twice the coffee was cold. Queued and despite lots of staff only one was serving. The lady who appeared to be in charge was quite rude.
Why would you not go here.!! Walk over to Winchester Cathedral go to the steps on the back wall and you will find the entrance to the cathedral shop and the cafe. Super fresh food, not over priced. Plenty of seating. On a dry day sit in the courtyard furry friends welcome. The ancient wall keep the wind out. You will find clean loos here. Gluten free options available. Share a table for friendly chats, on nice days the garden is open where you will find picnic tables for the cafe.
Came here for coffee and cake, was served by a lovely young man named Ryan and he was so great and friendly! The latte he made was one of the best I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend!
A reasonable selection of tasty food and drinks. The refectory has just had a makeover with new furniture, a revised seating layout and an improved serving area. Sadly, the updated image is badly let down by the very dirty and unhygienic appearance of the floor which does not seem to have received any attention. Wheelchair accessibility: Good size accessible toilet.
Very popular cafe. We went there two successive days and it was hard to find an inside table. Long queue to order but wait not too long. Very good choice of food and drinkFood: 4/5
I am American and visited this place in mid-January when my class went to Winchester Cathedral, so my review may not be reflective of the place now and does not fit with the horde of recent negative reviews. I had a potato and leek soup, cheese scone, and a gingerbread soy latte. Coffee and soup were pretty good, but the cheese scone was 100% the star. Out of my 5 months in Britain, it was seriously the best scone I ever had, so full of flavour and soft and crumbly in the best way. I told my group multiple times that I wanted to come back to Winchester just for this cheese scone but I would visit the Cathedral again, it's stunning. If things have changed, I apologise, but I dream of that wonderful cheese scone still.
When visiting Winchester city and amongst other things,the Cathedral is a must see.With it’s cafe and gift shop a short walk from the Cathedral entrance.Its a nice cafe with plenty of seating both inside and outside other in the front courtyard or lovely little back garden below a beautiful weeping willow tree with lovely flowers in the boarders.We had a nice Winchester sausage roll made with stuffing and a cuppa to wash it down,very tasty.There is a good selection of food and drinks on offer.After our snack we had a browse around the Cathedral gift shop which is in this complex.Overall a very delightful experience and a great day out.
This is a self service restaurant, often very busy. Sandwiches, lite bites, and a selection of meals are available. Staff are always very good. The quality of all food is also very good. Seating inside for approximately 100 people, mainly four seats per table. There are a number of tables available outside in an open more suitable for warmer weather. Toilets always kept very clean.
Winchester Refectory really is a hidden gem in the heart of Winchester. Whenever I am back in Winchester I usually visit the Refectory. I had their homemade scones which were delicious. Unfortunately during lockdown they have painted all the walls which were displaying the notices about St Benedict and his Rule about the Benedictine welcome. Please see attached photos from previous visits.
