Excellent village pub with a great choice of pub classics. My wife and I had Pie & Mash & a dirty burger for mains and a side order of the crispiest onion rings I have ever had! Chocolate brownie & a Cherry Bakewell cheesecake ( with a Jammie dodger ice cream Sandwich ) for dessert. A warm welcome at the bar and our table was ready shortly afterwards. Service was attentive but not in your face , food was excellent & great value for money, would recommend.

Gastro Pub

Alton

About the restaurant

Located at the heart of Holybourne, owners Thanasi and Nick have now owned the business since the end of 2021 when they reopened the doors of The White Hart with some serious gusto! Holybourne has fantastic community spirit that certainly spills into their local, also attracting guests from further afield looking for a cosy night away in our six well appointed guest rooms.
Executive Chef Didi Ivan has produced a mouth-watering, locally sourced menu with decadent dishes and absolutely favourites. The crème de la crème are our consistently outstanding steaks, we source from a local Surrey Farm and we cook them to perfection. Paired with our favourite, Chocolate Block - it's a crowd pleaser like no other.
Our gorgeously green garden lends itself to the perfect summers evening and if you're thinking of hosting an event - we've got got all bases covered, all year round.

Mixa Winchester

Modern European

Winchester

About the restaurant

MIXA was never created to be another restaurant. It was created because we believed eating out had become predictable. Too many places ask guests to choose one cuisine, one culture, one style. But that's not how people eat anymore. The world's best ideas deserve to sit on the same table.The name MIXA comes from the idea of mixing — not just ingredients, but cultures, techniques, people and experiences.

A Japanese glaze can belong on British pork.
A Greek whipped feta can meet Korean chilli.
A French cooking technique can elevate Middle Eastern spices.
If it tastes incredible, it belongs.
We don't follow tradition for tradition's sake. We respect it, learn from it and then create something new.

MIXA is designed to become part of the community. A place for birthdays, first dates, family celebrations, business lunches, Sunday afternoons, late-night cocktails. The restaurant people recommend without hesitation. The place where memories begin.

What a great new find in Winchester, the food was so well done, I definitely recommend the prawns and the chicken thighs were out of this world and don't forget the buffalo potatoes, they were so good. The staff were so friendly and they couldn't do enough for you. The only thing that wasn't so good was the area, outside of the restaurant is run down, if only they could move it to a better location in Winchester, however, it wont put me off the food is too good to miss.

Portsmouth

About the restaurant

We are an independent Kitchen & Tap House located in the heart of Southsea. Our name derives from Thomas Croxton, who built the first houses in the area around 1809. The area subsequently became known as Croxton Town, but in 1857 the town’s name was changed to Southsea, after King Henry’s Southsea Castle.

Located in the old Southsea Post Office we offer craft beer, cocktails, wine and spirits, along with award winning food inspired by our travels from around the world. Our Sunday lunch was awarded best in the region after a national search held by Unilever Food Solutions, and in 2024 we were voted “Best Casual Dining” venue in Hampshire & IOW as part of the regional and national awards hosted by Muddy Stiletto.
