The Black Rat Restaurant Winchester

Sample Menu for our Winchester restaurant. The food is all freshly prepared in our kitchen and could be described as ‘Modern British’

. Where possible the food is sourced locally from small dedicated suppliers with the importance being on the best quality we can get our hands on. The restaurant also has an allotment where we grow as much as we can so we can use it at its peak.

We are currently running a lunch special with two courses for £19.50 and three for £23.50, available both Saturday and Sunday lunch time in the main dining room.
