Walcot House

“Had a recommendation from a friend to come here, and I was not disappointed at all. Initially we were told there were no tables in the restaurants however managed to make one available for us which was appreciated, as while the bar is nice, it’s very much a bar kind of feel. The restaurant however is beautiful, the atmosphere is great, lots of low lighting, relaxed music and wine bottles decorating the room, the open kitchen adds to the atmosphere as well! We ordered the cod and the chicken Milanese, wow, so impressed, up there with some of the best cod and chicken Milanese dishes we’ve had. For dessert we had the cheesecake and sticky toffee, the sticky toffee was delicious, the cheesecake was a little less impressive. Overall, a lovely restaurant, great food, good service and a perfect atmosphere for a relaxed meal, would definitely recommend and would definitely revisit.”

“Great Friendly Service and delicious food the hot fresh bread with the flavoured butters was very tasty as was the scallop starter full of flavour, I had roast beef with giant Yorkshire pudding, gravy roast crispy roast potatoes and mixed vegetables . All absolutely delicious. I had a Tiramisu dessert which was the best I've ever had Very tasty! A great wine list. Lovely cocktails this place is truly wonderful .”

“Fabulous place to eat and the staff are very pleasant and welcoming. It was a really relaxing time. The food was top-notch with tomato with a touch of garlic flavour and some chilli powder. The mushrooms also had some flavouring on them, and the sausages and bacon were a quality product. You could definitely taste the difference in the quality of the food. I really enjoyed the breakfast until it came to paying the bill, which included a discretionary service charge because there was a large party of us. we split the bill, including the 12.5% discretionary service charge, and it turned out we were £2.30 out as we just wanted to make it simple to give an amout per person. This was slightly mared by a waitress who had not served us asking us to pay the difference as if we had not paid the bill until I pointed out this was discretionary. It took about 10 seconds for the penny to drop, and then she said it was alright. Funny that they put discretionary but can't work a discretionary tip out. When we left, all the other staff were just as great and wishing us all a good day.”

“As I sit here in a drunken stupor, contemplating turning 40 I reminisce over what can only be described as one of the highlights of my entire life. The perfect end to a perfect week. Although it is only Wednesday, and I do have another 2 days of boating ahead of me. But I digress. The food is incredible. Without a doubt the best steak I have had. And I have had many steaks. Mostly 2 a day for the last 10 months. Serious amazing meat. The sides were sick. Who the fuck cooks cabbage like that?! It was banging. The drinks, the wine, the cocktails. All on point. And finally the service. I can’t explain how cool this team is. They were all awesome their own way. Knowledgable about the menu, able to give the best recommendations. Attentive, but kept their space, allowing us intimacy we wanted. I want so say so much more, but I’m drunk, coz the drinks were banging, did I say that already?! So I feel like I’m rambling. Anyway. Go to here. Eat the food. Drink the drinks. Chat to the staff. You won’t regret it. Peace and love.”

“This place is air conditioned. After 11 days of our tour eating without air conditioning they saved the best for last. The vegetarian Celerian leek pie was the best “pie” I’ve had in 11 days. The “Think Drink” coctail was delicious. Try their side dish of Isle of Wright tomatoes also.”
