I defiantly disagree, It has improved loads recently and I went there on Sunday and me and my friend had a veggie and a lamb roast and it was so good and the perfect amount for my Sunday morning tummy! It was very busy but all the staff were really friendly and bought over our bloody mary's promptly, which made us very happy!!!

I have to disagree with the below [possibly out of date] review, I have visited The Winchester since its latest refurbishment and was pleasantly surprised at the high standard of food, after all this is a pub not a restaurant and the food was great. I have eaten a roast here on a Sunday before and couldn't fault it, and it was only £12.95 for two. I recently tried the a la carte menu and it was amazing. I had wild mushroom ravioli to start and the sea bass for mains, both were cooked perfectly and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Lovely wine list and friendly staff.

Sunday Roast Lunches and all food from this pub was bland, reheated in a microwave and left us feeling wrong - even though our wallets were happier at the 2-4-1 on Sunday Roasts...It was NOT worth the consumption. We will not be going back to this pub for food or drinks any time soon - especially with all of the other fantastic pubs in Islington.
