Inn The Park

We visited Inn The Park recently and thoroughly enjoyed an evening out in this beautiful restaurant. We dined in the Mustard Room, which had a bit of a more subdued ambience, but there certainly was more of a party atmosphere to the other dining spaces. The service was fantastic, very friendly, warm and attentive, and that really shone through. We started off with the Charcuterie Board, which was incredible. The quality was amazing, and a lot of it is locally sourced too. For main we both enjoyed Pork chops which were nice, but I felt the accompanying sauce and salad didn’t massively show off the cut of meat. The desserts, however, was where it was at. I’ve never seen a dessert menu where I could have had every single thing! I settled on the Chocolate Pave which was incredibly decadent and delicious, and my partner had the cheesecake, which was beautiful and a bit more fresh than my deep chocolatey pudding. If you’re looking for a fun night out with a partner or friends, then Inn The Park is a ‘must visit’. The food, ambience and the drinks were stunning, and the service was marvellous! We will be back.

Inn The Park You can find this lovely restaurant in Winchester's beautiful Abbey Gardens, not far from the office of the Mayor of Winchester. You can park in Colebrook Street Car Park; there are some disabled parking bays but not many. You can also park and walk in from Chesil St Multi Storey, a few minutes away. The restaurant has been renovated and decorated to a high standard; it's a cosy place to meet and have a meal. I didn't have a starter; I went straight to a main course. I enjoyed the Dry Aged Double Cheeseburger & Treacle Tart during my recent visit. My wife had the South Coast Hake Fillet and the Rhubarb & Strawberry Eton Mess for pudding. We also added the Truffle & Old Winchester Fries to share. Although there are stairs in the restaurant, you can use the lift. If you need more clarification, I recommend contacting them with your questions.

We booked a table for 12 on a late november friday night at relatively short notice (2-3 weeks). We ended up with 14 guests and the team were fantastic in catering for us. Food was amazing. Service was a bit chaotic but that was mostly due to my party being disorganised and difficult customers. The team took it in their stride. Will recommend this place to everyone. Good stuff. (Only negative was it was quite cold)
