We visited The Corner House and very much enjoyed the half breakfast of local produce which was ample for our appetites. A cozy corner location for a 'treat' breakfast in lovely Winchester.

Attractive interior and friendly staff. Food was ok but serving it on old bread boards doesn't appeal to me. A lot of tables for the space and the noise level was correspondingly high. However it's a cheery spot and I would go again.

Food was fantastic, atmosphere was great... service, while friendly, was a little chaotic. Only half our drinks order arrived and the same happened with our food order. The server kept getting distracted!!

There was an early a 45 minute wait between breakfast finishing and lunch orders taken. Whilst the staff explained and were attentive, if I had known this I would have booked later. However when the food did arrrive it was worth the wait!

Our party of 8 had lunch at Corner House. The area we were in was rather dark as ceiling lights weren't switched on. We felt menu was more fancy and limited for choice than when we has eaten here before. In fact half our number chose of the all day breakfast menu in order to find something they liked. The waitress was very helpful and friendly. However food we did chose was cooked and presented well especially the eggs!

The staff were very attentive and helpful. Although I had booked a table, the restaurant was very quiet and we had a choice of seating. There was not a huge choice for vegetarians but my friend and I both enjoyed our all-day vegetarian breakfast. My only criticism was that the cutlery (although it looked clean) had an unpleasant smell about it suggesting the dishwasher could do with a clean. However nice the food is, smelly cutlery does ruin it and it made me wonder about the overall hygiene in the kitchen.

Music was a little too loud to enjoy a conversation, the waiter couldn't hear what was being asked for and needing to keep repeating yourself over and over starts to rub for the entire evening.

Went for lunch on Saturday. A quirky ex pub but with a friendly atmosphere. A menu that might not satisfy the meat eater although the burger looked good. The food we had was good and plentiful enough for a light lunch but the highlight really was the cake table for dessert. also have some good local bottled beer and ciders. Price wise with 15% tip was £85 for 4 2 course lunch.

Lovely little restaurant, where usually the food is good. Sadly, our experience thus time was not so good. We had the Sunday roast, the meat was very dry and the roast potatoes not all all crispy. I would go to the Corner House again, but I definitely would never have another Sunday roast there. As ever, the waiting staff were charming.

the restaurant was a friendly and cosy place with excellent food, and a surprise jazz evening. we enjoyed it very much. It is a short walk from a car park, so even if you don't live in the city it's worth taking a trip.

It was very busy - Thursday night is music night and there was a group of 3 female singers. they were having fun on stage and contributed to a lovely atmosphere. Food was excellent, though my portion of gnocchi was a little small. Great choice of local beers.

Quirky restaurant, excellent food, was disappointed with the wine list which is on a board. Lots of choice by glass and bottle, however the glass sizes weren't given and when we got our bill was a surprise to see that my glass of Sauvignon Blanc was £9 and it was on the board as £6.75. Shame but otherwise was a lovely meal.

Lovely place, good food and attentive staff; worth the money. Seems to be full of screaming, crying under twos with indifferent parents on a Saturday morning. Perhaps complementary parenting classes would be in order?

Lovely food, and great service too. The kids really enjoyed it as well! We'd recommend this to anyone visiting the city; very central, and interesting specials. There is no kids menu, so only for older children though they were happy to do a smaller roast if we needed it.

We went to The Corner House as a group of 6 which included 2 kids. The food was great, staff were friendly however they had no high chairs. I was quite surprised at this and honestly can't remember the last time I went somewhere that doesn't have at least 1.

The food was excellent when it came. However the wrong soup was served without telling us that the soup we had ordered had been replaced and two of the party did not like that soup We should hAve been asked if it was ok to serve a different type not just brought it in without asking us first also the accompaning bread was not what was on menu

The Cornerhouse has obviously changed hands as it is simply not as good as it was in previous years. The menu is much smaller with restricted choices. Although the waiting staff were great, we waited 40 minutes between starter and main and when the main came the chef hadn't followed what we asked for, for a dietary requirement making one plate inedible for our guest. However as we waited for so long we declined a new dish. Rather than knocking the dish off the bill two soda waters were given for free!!! Really disappointing from the fabulous restaurant it used to be shall not be returning.

A friend and I visit 'The Corner House' approximately every 5-6 weeks. We like the cafe because it's relatively quiet (i.e. no loud music) and the staff are friendly.The menu is varied, the food tasty and the prices are sensible and fair. However on our visit last week, our food, although delicious, was tepid and the staff didn't seem quite so attentive as before, which was surprising as the cafe wasn't over busy, and we kept having to go up to the counter to get anything extra. Hence me rating a score of only 4 on this occasion. Hopefully the service will be a bit better next visit.
