Discover the Hidden Wellness Gem of Winchester: Why voco Hotel and Spa Rewrites the Rules of Luxury Retreats
Wood texture walls, terracotta planters, green banquettes and tan chairs combine to give a reassuringly natural feel to a light restaurant where tables are well-spaced.
As well as the core menu of steaks, burgers, chicken and salads, a seasonal menu – think seabass, vegan Thai curry, garlic and lemon pork chop – brings variety for the large numbers of regular diners staying on business.
Amongst the starters, a watercress soup gives a nod to Britain’s watercress capital, that’s Alresford, which is a mere 10 minutes drive away. A black pudding scotch egg, yolk warm and runny, on a bed of piccalilli with roquette, shows impressive creativity. As does a Colado Mess for pud, tropically replacing traditional strawberries with pineapple and adding coconut ice-cream. A dish that’s a metaphor for voco’s attitude.
