The restaurant's menu changes all the time depending on whats fresh in that week but I prefer to head straight for the seafood bar where they have a huge selection of oysters to be enjoyed with either a pint of Guiness or a nice bottle of Macon. Keep an eye out for special offers as they have a hotel here to and often offer some great deals on food and a bed for the night.

We found this place and were very happy. Apparently there are not a lot of Chinese restaurants open…read moreon a Sunday in Southampton. The sign said open, so we walked in and asked if they did take away and they did. The interior is very nice and the prices acceptable. For a hot and sour soup I paid £2.80 and for the fortune rice special £6. There was only one person and she was part of the staff. Seemed a pretty empty place. But having said this, we went there at 16.00 what can be considered too early for dinner. We waited for some time for our order and I asked for a glass of water. I would have throught that this is offered straight away plus maybe some prawn crackers as we might have looked hungry :-). Overall the food was ok. I was struggling with the soup a bit when my toung started burning. Very spicy indeed and recommendable for the ones that love spicy. Would I eat it again? I guess so. Yes. The rice was tasty too, served with a lots of vegetables. I also asked for some soya sauce and got a wee cup. That was nice. I was not so convinced with the spare ribs. Bit too chewy for my taste. The Chinese chicken wings were soft enough, however the chicken bones were quite bridle and broke in half easily. Not sure this is a good thing. Anyway, overall, it seems a pretty ok place where you can enjoy a nice tasty Chinese menu for a lunch price of £6.95. The interior looks very cozy and the prices acceptable. Would I get another Chinese takeaway from there? Yes, maybe.

Sweet and sour chicken with random pieces of shrimp that were unidentifiable until biting into them because they were also breaded. Good thing I only hate shrimp and don't have an allergy. 2. Boiled rice 3. Ribs?! I don't eat red meat. At all. That's 0/3 parts of my order correct. I can't even assess the quality of the food since I don't eat shrimp nor red meat. Also a .50 debit charge. And for some reason the owner's baby was just casually chilling there in the restaurant.

For someone who has been visiting the original Loch Fyne Oyster Bar for years and is a huge fan of…read morethe place, it's inevitable that any of their offspring branches are going to be held up against that benchmark standard for comparison Happily, this Winchester branch did not disappoint. The entrance looks more like an old-fashioned English pub, with its half-timbered façade and bar area; it could easily be mistaken for a Wetherspoons or something. It's once you get further inside that the full cunningness of this conversion becomes clear. Just around the corner is the fish counter, all tiles and ice, where you can pick your poisson of choice and even buy some to take home with you. Beyond that, the rear is a much more spacious affair, arranged around a central courtyard with a long wing stretching farther back that can accommodate larger groups. The meal quality was exceptional, as was the service from the friendly and courteous staff. I had crabcakes to start, which were not terribly large but were very tasty; and followed that up with an artichoke and mushroom risotto - for once, I decided not to go with the fish! I adore artichoke and it seemed too good an opportunity to pass up. My question about dairy content was quickly answered after the waitress went to check with the chef, and it was served without the usual parmesan slices topping. I was tempted to try the sorbet for dessert, but a last-minute resurgence of willpower prevailed, so it turned out to be a very reasonable pre-theatre meal. Excellent value for money, excellent food, great ambience, great service. Love it!

I love the centrepiece being a display of fantastic fresh seafood and the open kitchen. A nice touch that our waiter gave us a little tour of the fresh fish on offer One of my must order dishes is a good French fish soup, which should be thick and packed full of crustacean and piscine flavour. The version here came with the traditional grated Gruyere cheese and a slightly less traditional and slightly odd crouton, which had been topped with salt cod brandade. I liked their attempt to do something different but I wished the crouton was more crispy The pea risotto starter tasted a lot better than it looked when it first arrived - reminiscent of the flavours of spring For mains, I had the best dish of the day - a top class seafood tagliatelle. All the seafood was perfectly cooked, not an easy feat with the different elements needing different lengths of cooking. The pasta was silky and there was just the right amount of seafood flavour Strangely, the only dish to disappoint was the fish and chips. It was just OK though ,y girlfriend mused later that perhaps, she should have gone for tempura batter rather than traditional batter A solid choice for food in Winchester

Having just returned from a visit to family in the States, the Coronavirus lockdown had just begun as we moved down to Chichester for several months to look after my ailing father-in-law. One of the highlights during his closing months was a trip out to what he deemed as "one of the finest & chip shops he'd ever seen in years." I'm happy to say he was right. Moby's was open both before and just after the height of lockdown, maintaining the same high standards with their food and hygiene as ever. Their portions are generous and the fish is lovely. We made a few visits there as my partner's father enjoyed the outing and the staff were an absolute dream. I expressed my appreciation to them after he left us and we've made a number of visits back since. Many thanks to Moby's and the team there, who come with our hearty recommendation!
