Thank you for a wonderful late lunch service with my family yesterday. Great Food, Atmosphere and service by the wonderful team you have on board!

My excited 4 year old son enjoyed his time yesterday & his chicken bites & calamari. Staff were very attentive and we enjoyed our birthday meal out! Amazing amazing food! Thank you once again and best of luck! We will be coming back again for sure!

Ps. The decor is gorgeous!!!!

What an incredible place! They have outdone themselves with the decor and overall vibe. The food is amazing and unlike anything else you can get in Winchester.

The team of staff and brilliant and make you feel so welcome, and on the odd occasion when service may be a little slower (very busy nights and a new business finding its feet!) they more than make up for it. Have only heard good things from friends, family and clients who I have recommended.

Popped in on Friday for coffee with a friend and ended up staying for hours and ordering food!

Absolutely beautiful space to relax in with open fires, exposed beams and just a lovely vibe. Staff were attentive, a special shout out to Kieran behind the bar who made us some awesome cocktails! Also food wise 10/10. I’m plant based so wasn’t sure I could eat here BUT I ordered lots of tapas style dishes to try and they were incredible. I loved the tabulah and the falafel- actually the best I’ve had.

We will definitely be back- highly recommend!

A breath of fresh air in the Winchester dining scene: incredibly delicious food, quietly welcoming atmosphere, and lovely, helpful staff make this historic building buzz in a newly tempting way.

We had the vegetarian sharing plate along with tea and coffee, and it was all beautifully presented as well as tasting fantastic. We appreciated the subtle music (not too loud).

I wish we had discovered it had opened sooner! It’s going to be a frequent choice for us in future.

  The Walcote team enjoyed a fantastic evening at Turkuaz. The formula is just right and a bit different: fun and informal with darts, break out areas, open fire and an awesome bar. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable - they mix a perfect Sazarac. The owner was so very welcoming and ensured that everything went smoothly. Turkuaz is a great addition to Winchester and so great to see independent success.
