Saint George Tea Room - Winchester

A great location for a Tea Shop so close to the Cathedral and Winchester College. The tea room itself is quite quaint just what you imagine it should be. A delightful place to catch up with an old friend for an Afternoon Tea. Service alas, on our visit, was somewhat haphazard. Afternoon Tea for two was duly ordered unfortunately it appeared nothing like the photographs in their advertising. First the sandwich plate arrived four thin finger sandwiches (two of which were egg, one salmon, one I can't remember), and a mound of dressed salad way more than any garnish. Not quite what we expected. Then came the cake plate two (smallish) fruit scones, cream and jam, along with a slice of Battenburg cake, and a square of carrot cake and a cake of chocolate and Guinness cake. Both squares of cake were tiny. Problem how to share 2 small cakes between two hungry ladies. To be fair, the scones, cakes and jam were obviously home made and very delicious, but a taste is really all we got. I've given a rating of Average for this place. This is because TA jumps from Average to Very Good. I believe their should be a Good. Would I go again? Yes. I would like to try this place again even though I found it quite quirky. I probably wouldn't order Afternoon Tea though. Would I recommend it to others? Yes, if I think they understand quaint and quirky.

Wandering around Winchester I came across this Tea Room opposite the Wykeham Arms. Even though all tables were full or reserved the charming lady at front-of-house made us most welcoming and found a table next to the window. A good start, followed by exquisite cakes and sandwiches which were made to perfection. There was also a very good selection of teas or coffee. Seating was comforting and the other staff were great. This was a treasured find. Thank you

We popped in for a cup of tea and found a menu with several pages of tea options! One had Assam, the other a Roibos with citrus, and they were both superb. Restful decor and music, and a lovely atmosphere. We definitely need to go back.

We stopped for a lovely brunch in this tea room. It is decorated beautifully, the tea menu is great food delicious! I had the seasonal pumpkin soup and my partner the quiche, both delicious.

Just got back from having probably the best Lemon Drizzle cake in the World It was first class!!! The tea is also in tea pots and comes from Char and they give you proper tea cups and saucers, knock out!!!! Also gorgeous outside secret garden!!!
