The Black Rat Restaurant Winchester

This is the menu for the Christmas period to be served in our private dining room. The room is situated upstairs in the restaurant next to the bar and the lounge which are obviously available for your parties use. The table sits 14 comfortably or 16 at a push. Early booking is recommended especially for weekends. We apologise for the change to the fish dish- we could not guarantee a source of Sea trout and therefore changed to brill, which is very good quality and should be in good availability at this time of year.
