Black Rat Restaurant

The Black Rat Restaurant in Winchester is a quaint and quirky restaurant situated on the fringe of the town centre, along Chesil Street.

A year after opening, the team acquired one of the most prestigious accolades in catering, a Michelin Star.

Our ingredients are sourced from some of the best local suppliers that can be found and we have our own forager who brings the most seasonal and fresh products available.

Located nearby is our kitchen garden where we grow some of our own herbs and vegetables, all of which helps to inspire the kitchen team to create there menu using wild and forgotten ingredients.

The wine list boasts some 80 wines with a balance between Old and New world from our supplier Ellis Of Richmond. The list contains some iconic wines that are great with delicious food but also it has balanced and well rounded wine that can be enjoyed without food.

The atmosphere is relaxed but homely with lots to look at in all the rooms, and the service is informal but attentive with an individual personal touch.

There is also a private dining room upstairs for all occasions, plus a comfy lounge and well-stocked bar full of well known and speciality spirits where guests can have pre-dinner drinks whilst perusing the menu, or enjoy a digestif or coffee after their meal.

The Front of House team is a small group of experienced hospitality characters who pride themselves on their personal service styles and, together with Head Chef Ollie Moore and his Kitchen Team.
