The Stable Bar and Restaurant Ltd in Winchester

I feel cheated and annoyed after eating here. When my party arrived at 8 our table was not ready and we were kept waiting in the doorway. About 40 mins later our pizzas ( preordered so no excuse for being this late) were flung on our tables. They tasted fine to be fair, then our deserts arrived again deposited on our tables ( again tasted and looked fine). Upon leaving I tried to pay the advertised price of £19.95 for my meal, only to be presented with a bill for £23.50. They had added a compulsory service charge to my bill! I wouldn't mind too much if we had received any service but we ordered our drinks at the bar and had our food deposited on our tables for us to distribute. I left my £20 at the bar and said " keep the change!". I won't be back.

Can’t fault the food, fantastic. Downsides: We had to ask for our drinks 3 times. Then wait about 20 minutes for our plates to be cleared to then have to ask for the desert menu. Kids brownies were then sent to the wrong table. I get it’s busy being Christmas, but when 4 staff members are chatting at the bar and you and the table behind are all trying to get their attention, it gets a bit irritating.

We regularly come to the Stable as their amazing Pizza’s and Cider are the perfect combination. The Staff and service at Winchester also also wonderful, a big thank you to Laura and Izzie for their excellent service and always making us feel so welcome.

Went to the stable last weekend and was served by Sam. Sam has a lovely manner when speaking to customers, excellent customer service and was very efficient. He made sure we had everything we needed and we couldn’t have asked for a better server. We have been in the stable in Winchester a few times and this was definitely the best experience due to how attentive Sam was, a real asset to the company. Food came out of quickly and was very nice too. Will be coming back soon.

Popped in with my daughter on Wednesday and we both had pizzas. Having been to Italy this year, I can say hands down that these were on a par with the pizzas we had there. Super tasty, amazing bases and just delicious. Really lovely friendly staff. All perfect.

We tried the Christmas special- festive full monty and the pig on pillow. The pizza is nice and the crust is crunchy. There are different type of cider as well.

I've been here several times and always have great food in a lovely space. I'm sure I'll return here in the future.

Great food and good efficient service thank you. Glad we were upstairs as it was noisy downstairs as it was busy and the music was a bit loud.

My first time coming here and it was such a lovely place and the food was great too. Rosie our waitress was really accommodating and went over and above! Thank you so much, we all will be coming back soon!

Had a lovely dinner here, I would definitely recommend the pepperoni. Our server Rosie was so lovely and attentive, nothing was too big of an ask. Will definitely come back.

Good vibe, fantastic pizza , decent wine and an extensive cider menu. Friendly staff and spotlessly clean. Only issue is one of their tables is opposite the door and every time the door opened it was freezing for my 80 and 85 year old parents If they won’t invest in effective above door heating they should remove this table as it’s not acceptable

Very good service.The waitress with black hair (maybe called Lara or Laura) is soo nice and professional she solved all the requests.

My favourite mac and cheese is from this place and therefore, when i have a chance I visit the Stables Winchester. On my latest visit I was served by the lovely and really kind Laura who was just top tier on giving us cider suggestions and bringing our amazing food to our table as soon as possible. This is not my first occasion when Laura went over and beyond as last year we were celebrating my mother's birthday in Stables Winchester and she made it memorable with sticking a candle in my mother's dessert and singing happy birthday. I wish all hospitality staff would be just as enthusiastic of giving people unforgettable experience as her.

Visited last week for date night and the food and service was great. Loved the new Pigante Pizza and the Mac n Cheese. Laura the assistant manager was lovely and attentive, couldn't fault her. All in a all a great experience. Thanks!

Had a fantastic meal here with my family the other day, a waitress called Izzy served us and was so unbelievably helpful with our allergies and recommendations for a meal! Cant wait to come back again😊😊

It was okay nothing special. The food was very plain bland and didn’t have much flavour to it, had a weird taste? The atmosphere was a strange one suddenly half way through felt like we were in a half power cut hehe they dimmed the lights so much which made it hard to see.

Absolutely amazing service! Elle was so so lovely and couldn’t have been more accommodating! Laura was sooo lovely! She found us a table quickly! The food was delicious too! We’ll be back! Thank you both and the chefs 😊

Came to the Stables for bottomless brunch with work colleagues and had a great time. Served by Toby who was informative and diligent and all ran smoothly throughout (which hasn’t been the case elsewhere). Good food, plenty of drink and a great start to our day out. Recommend to all

Popped in with my friend for lunch, and the stable has such a wonderfully cozy atmosphere with lovely staff. Had the Hawaiian Five-Oh and by far the best pizza I have had with such fresh ingredients and homemade dough

Great little pizza and beer spot: I’ve been several times and food is decent with good selection of beers. Service friendly; the manager helped to squeeze a party of two in for a busy Saturday night. Atmosphere is always fun and lively. Pizza could be slightly larger than current size but a very minor suggestion.

Six of us had a delicious lunch yesterday, we will definitely be back!

Very rude man on the door on a Sunday lunch time as soon as we walked he he said rudely we’ll do you have a table booked or what as that’s what I stood here for so we left

Great pizza in a pleasant space, what more can you ask for? Service? That was great too.

Salad was lovely but pizza was disappointing and cold. Pizza temperature was flagged to staff and brought back slightly warmer, but not hot. Especially with mushrooms and cheese, it is quite unpleasant to eat those components lukewarm on a cold day.

Most importantly a top pizza. Good selection of ciders and beer. Very good service. Good location. I would happily return.

Perfect pizza in Winchester. Ideal for a lunch and such a great location. Lots of flavours to try so there’d be definitely something for picky eaters.

Really good food. Great atmosphere. Lovely ciders. Very child friendly and the mac and cheese was to die for!

We recently visted the stable for a bottomless brunch for 16 people ! It was by far the best bottomless we have had, Toby our waiter really looked after our table nothing was too much trouble. The food was spot on and the cocktails were fantastic!! We will definitely be visting again

Fantastic food, with brilliant staff who check and cater for allergies to dairy!

I come here often, The best pizza in town! Friendly service, great atmosphere. I always recommend it to everyone!

Gorgeous, delicious pizza … but it took an hour to arrive, and when we turned up 7 minutes before our booking, we got asked to leave and come back later.

Yummy “Winchester pizza” with a serving of garlic bread, nachos, and strawberry cider beer for about £46. It was the two of us and we had leftovers. All that food would have been perfect for three people. Pizza size is like a medium size Dominoes. Excellent service. Quick, friendly, and they didn’t rush us out. Young man there was particularly nice. We had dinner.

The Stable in Winchester was really good. The pizza had lots of flavor, and the crust was just right—crispy but not too hard. There were plenty of toppings to choose from, and they were all interesting. The staff were very attentive and made everything feel smooth and easy. My wife especially loved the ambiance, saying it felt cozy and warm, with a welcoming vibe that made the whole evening even more enjoyable. Overall, the food was great, and it was a nice place to spend time.

Delicious food with a great vibe. The guy who served us (Toby) was fab! We were able to fully enjoy our meal and drinks without feeling rushed, despite the busy Saturday lunchtime rush.

Love this franchise and the Winchester location is on of the nicest. Always delicious pizza and variety of ciders.

Sign at the door “wait to be seated”. Waited for 5 minutes, didn’t look particularly busy, made eye contact with a couple of staff. Ignored. Shame. Came to Three Joes just down the road, definitely more busy, got seated within 30 seconds of entering. Says it all.

Extremely poor attitude by one member of staff who let the whole place down

One of the staff members was incredibly rude to us from minute we got in there, very unprofessional of them. Been in here a few times because they have a great selection of ciders and had no issues, but after this I will spend my money elsewhere, shame though as it shows how one member of your staff can have such a detrimental effect on your business.

We hosted our wedding party at The Stable in Winchester, and it was absolutely fantastic! From the get-go, Laura and her team had everything under control, making sure the night went off without a hitch so we could just enjoy ourselves. We had DJs, casino tables, flowers, and more brought in, and The Stable handled it all brilliantly—nothing was too much trouble, and everything slotted into place perfectly. Now, about the pizzas… we ordered 40 and not a single slice survived by the end of the night! They were an absolute hit with everyone. And the drinks? Our guests were spoilt for choice with all the brilliant beers, ciders, and more on offer. The bar was well and truly put to good use! The atmosphere was spot on—lively, energetic, and just what we were after for a proper wedding celebration. The staff kept that energy up all evening and made sure everyone had a great time. With around 80 guests, the space worked perfectly, with plenty of room for dancing, the casino tables, and a nice spot for people to sit and chat. If you're looking for a venue that knows how to throw a proper party, The Stable is the place. We couldn’t have asked for a better night!

Great pizza, cheesy garlic pizza bread and Mac &cheese with a wonderful variety of ciders. An unassuming picnic table ambiance with cozy candles and wonderful service.

Great visit good food and drinks at a reasonable price.

Top notch. Lovely building upstairs. Great service and awsome pizza.

I was to picup the order i ask one off the staff if the order is ready i explain to him is delay 30 minutes is told me to whait is no check and the order is no was ready is poor service.

Great food and very friendly, helpful staf

Honestly, we arrived at 9pm and they refused to give dinner. Never happened something like that. Food I couldn't try because they refused to serve. In another place closer they were warm and welcome. I don't recommend this place.

My grandchild and I are spending a week in Winchester. We visited The Stable twice. The pizzas are the most delicious with fresh toppings and the staff is ver kind and helpful. I would mention Amelie and Will. Friendy service and the Best pizza in town. Don't forget tó leave room főre the amazing brownie.

We visited recently for our anniversary meal and were amazed by the great food and service! Amanda went above and beyond to make sure we had a special meal, alongside Will who hosted us. The food was amazing, and would defo recommend!!

Nice pizza and mac &cheese for kids. Quite busy

I can't say it's delicious, it's not bad. The location is nice, young people work, the prices are neither expensive nor cheap. The sauce on one of the pizzas we ate was very sour. We asked for cider and it was lukewarm, we asked for ice and the problem was solved. It was crowded, I guess a little care was not taken. For example, there was a dirty ashtray on the table, we asked if you could take it, there were butts, fruit residues and a dirty napkin in it, the attendant took it and put it on the side table. Moreover, there was a customer at the table he set, but I guess the British don't care about such things.

The pizzas are the best in Winchester. They have excellent bases of sourdough that stay crispy on the bottom - the bases taste really good too, which isn't true everywhere. The toppings are all locally sourced and are completely delicious. The menu changes seasonally and there are always a few you'd really like to try. If you like cider and perry you must visit here whilst you are in Winchester, they have a brilliant array. I recommend Bee Sting - a delicious perry. The service is friendly and efficient. I suggest you go for a late lunch or an early dinner, it's quietest then. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

I have eaten here a number of times and the food and service is good and the beers are excellent. However you cannot call a margherita "proper" if it has parmesan cheese on it AND RAPESEED OIL. It is an insult to Italians! A margherita pizza is dough, a fresh tomato base, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil and a spiral of extra virgin olive oil.

Amazing service. Quick and efficient service. We sat outside and had a lovely time. Would 10/10 recommend.

Friends and I do a bottomless brunch each year and thought we’d try here. Fab food -sharing starters - lovely pizzas with lots of toppings (rather than a meagre handful) the cocktails are not watered down 🎉 and the staff (Amanda and Jack) were brilliant throughout … we will be back 😎

I loved the place, the food and how well the staff looked after us. I will surely be back.

A great place for a bottomless brunch. Worth every penny

Great food and service, not sure what else you could ask for.

Very beautiful and the view in front of the garden. The pizza is delicious 👍

Just love this place, the staff are great, really friendly. Food is good and so is the cider!!

Been meaning to pop in there, and finally get around to it !!! Amazing pepperoni pizza! Love the vibe.

Really friendly staff who served us amazing pizza!

Had dinner here tonight and even though it was extremely busy, the food and cider came out super quick. We sat outside on the street which was delightful as there is hardly any traffic on the road. Excellent pizza and average prices. Also a great location in a very picturesque city.

The staff are so kind Pizza fantastic

Not quite as pretty as the pictures suggest, The Winchester Stable was very busy when we visited. Popular with 20 somethings, the interior was quite noisy and we couldn’t always hear each other at the table. That said, I can see why it’s so popular. The Stable is energetic, lively, with good food choices and an excellent drinks menu if you like your cider. Service couldn’t be faulted with extremely attentive staff. As a mixed age party including three adults over 70, we probably weren’t the core demographic for the lunch sitting, but everyone found something they wanted and we were made to feel at home. We weren’t rushed and they made a fuss of our dog, so all came away happy. Goat’s Cheese & Roasted Squash salad for me, heartily recommended.

Rude door staff, rude bar staff who decided to toss their eyes after taking an order. Decent atmosphere but definitely won’t be coming back

Awesome eatery and lovely atmosphere, highly recommended :)

Great place for dinner food lovely

Went for family meal. Nice food and fab staff. Definitely recommend

Great food and lovely atmosphere, only issue was that the waiters were a bit slow cleaning our table, but other than that an amazing restaurant

Can't recommend these guys enough! We had a very small wedding celebration and wanted to use a smaller local restaurant and not a huge chain. As soon as you mention the M word, most places will start to add extra £££s! Not here, they were super accommodating, flexible, friendly and all round great hosts. All the staff were wonderful, the food was delicious and they created a great atmosphere for us. We've been back a few times just the two of us and everything was brilliant! Thank you so much guys for helping us with our special day :)

Love this place! Fair pricing too. Can’t get enough of their Pizza’s & Cider’s. Perfect for an evening out. It’s our go-to!

We went for pizza here on Saturday. After waiting for a long time, we realised that the order was not coming. We spoke to the manager who confirmed that the order wasn’t put through. She dealt with it very swiftly and told us the pizzas would be ready in a few minutes and it was all on the house. She was very attentive and made sure we were enjoying the experience by offering even more drinks and dessert on the house. Would definitely come again because of the lovely service. Oh yes, and the pizzas were very tasty.

Went there today with family and 2 kids. Atmosphere was great, staff were really friendly and food was delicious! We ordered the red rooster Mac and cheese and a different order came as a mistake. Honestly it was no big deal and we were told we had to wait another 5 minutes or so. When getting the bill, the lady was so kind to tell us that they didn’t charge us for it because of the wait and mistake. It’s our first time in Winchester and I can confidently say the Winchester stable made a very positive experience in our time here. Would highly recommend! 👍

There was a wide selection of ciders, IPA's, and other beverages. The Pizza (Blazing Saddle) was filling, delicious and living up to its name had a kick to it, sad that it was a thin base but hardly if at all detracted from the overall meal. My colleagues also enjoyed: The Winchester Slice The Pepperoni pizza And the Cider Tasting Board selection.

Pizzas were amazing. As was biscoff cheesecake. Oh and the cider. Would highly recommend.

Great food, I was worried about cross contamination but they were awesome and already had really strong precautions in place and really delicious gluten free pizza! Their service and patience as they explained their precautions was great - would highly recommend.

The garlic cheese bread is amazing. They have tons of ciders to pick from, as well as a few IPAs.

Was on a solo trip to Winchester and popped in because it was close my to hotel! The staff was super accommodating, the vibes are awesome, and the food was super delicious! Plus there was a huge range of craft beers and ciders on tap or bottled. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area!

I reviewed the Stable Winchester not that long ago, but I'll give you my opinion on our latest visit. We came to Winchester from Wolverhampton to collect my daughter from University for Easter. We needed to book somewhere to eat on Good Friday evening and we can't help but gravitate towards the Stable. We were greeted by a very friendly and competent young lady who showed my wife and I to our table whilst we waited for our daughters to arrive. Drinks were ordered and brought promptly and our food order was taken when the drinks arrived. No long delay for the food either. We tucked in unashamedly to the feast before us which was, as always, spot on. Desserts and coffee were then offered and duly accepted, brought and devoured. I can't really fault you guys. Part of me feels we should try somewhere different to eat, but, what the hell, we get great service great food and drink and a really pleasant atmosphere. So, I'm afraid, whilst we keep coming to Winchester, you're going to have to keep feeding us. I'd only give you 10/10 because I can't give you more. 👏

Tasted like frozen supermarket pizza with terrible service!

My wife is gluten free and she said the pizza was one of the best she has had. The choice of different ciders was amazing. The staff were really helpful and welcoming.

Lovely service and the sourdough pizza was divine

I sat here for lunch and it was a great experience. They were quite busy, so service was a bit slow, but the team were really kind and friendly. The food was delicious! I really enjoyed my pizza, it was light and the toppings were great. They had a decent selection of pizzas for meat lovers, veggies and vegans alike! Quality chili oil as well

Decent food, really nice pizzas and great selection of drinks, in a great location. Really let down by incredibly slow service. Waited 30 mins from arrival for drinks to arrive, was over an hour before food arrived which is far too long for pizza. Zero attention from staff, who didn’t tend to our table once in the 2.5 hours we were there, even though they made a point of saying it was table service when we arrived. We had to go to the bar to ask them to come and take orders for additional drinks and dessert which seemed like a chore, after which they took over 20 mins to bring one drink. Shame as the food was actually very good.

We had two pizzas: Hawaii and the Blazing Saddle. The latter highly recommended: the marmalade really adds flavor (and goes well with janapeno) and pulled beef gives it texture. My friend does not like her Hawaii, saying the tomato sauce and ham both lack fragrance and flavor. It will be good if a wider food selection is available. Lovely service.

Good pizza place with a decent (but somewhat limited) veggie and vegan options. They always have good beer and cider on tap or in bottles. Only down side is that it has become hugely popular over the last few years so you need to book and make sure you arrive on time.

Pulled beef nachos with very little beef to be seen... disappointing.

Lovely restaurant with super friendly, efficient, and helpful staff. Pizzas were outstanding, as was the great range of Ciders.. The best part was that nearly every pizza base could be gluten-free, so my coeliac partner was in heaven. Could not rate this pizza restaurant enough.. We went on a Monday at 5.30 pm, by 6.00 pm it was very busy, a great indication of how good this place is.

Pizza and beer. Great combination.

Great evening with family. Excellent food. Great service =]. Particularly enjoyed the pizza.

travelled from London and meet friends at the Stable and had such a pleasant time at this restaurant. Staff are so friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was great and the pizza and drinks were 10/10! Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back :)

I've visited The Winchester Stable a few times over recent years, and can safely say that my most recent experience was fantastic. I sampled several of the pizzas and they were all equally delicious. The butternut squash and goats cheese salad was also fantastic, and I would highly recommend the 'tots' too! Make sure you leave some room for their homemade biscoff cheesecake - it is AMAZING! As always, the selection of Cider on offer at The Stable is vast, but you can’t go wrong with a Lilley’s Bee Sting. If you’re looking to share the same Cider it’s definitely worth getting a ‘Growler’ which is just over 3 pints for around £15 which is pretty reasonable. Overall, the service, food and ambience were all great, and I’d certainly recommend a visit if you’re looking for a good value bite to eat in a buzzy restaurant in Winchester.

Been coming roughly once a year since it opened and it is still very good in terms of excellent pizzas, lovely staff and great building. However the cider selection, whilst still very good compared to most places, has definitely reduced over the years and they inexplicably stopped doing the great pies they were known for! Bring them back and could well be 5* next time!!

A fine place for a pizza and drink in Winchester

Good beer selection and pizza was great. Shame I’m not a cider guy

Was absolutely fantastic, amazing quality fresh pizzas, super friendly and amazing staff, and super tasty drinks. What a way to spend the last night of 2023.

An excellent range of ciders and very good food in the centre of Winchester. The nachos were great!

Very nice relaxing atmosphere, pizza was amazing as well as the staff, loved it

Felted a little disappointed with the service and miffed when I paid the bill and saw a service charge, which I asked what service the reply was it for the Christmas season the date was 18th of November 🤔

Grateful to have a gluten free pizza, my constructive criticism would be, gluten free bases need more topping.

Love eating at this chain - the Winchester Stable one is equally as good as the others. Tons of cider choices and the pizza superb. Highly recommend to any cider or pizza lovers.
