The Beech Cafe — Restaurant in East Hampshire

The Beech Cafe catered my husband's funeral wake earlier in December this year. With yet another Covid variant doing the rounds and the event being so close to Christmas, we had few choices when it came to catering for our guests and we had never visited the cafe before so we just hoped that all would be well. The cafe was warm and welcoming - Jade & Nathan had put up our fairy lights and placed the family photographs that we had brought with us and heated the mulled wine.

The value is almost too great, I think the lovely team deserve to up their prices, as they deliver more than most for their prices. A gem of a find, surrounded by beautiful forests and fantastic walks available. The staff are all super hard working and, in my opinion, exemplars of...

Stopped here for lunch today after walking around Old Winchester Hill nearby. I'm so glad we did! Despite being busy, we managed to grab a table and food arrived within 10 minutes or so. We had the mozzarella, tomato and basil pesto panini and the goats cheese, avocado and salad sandwich. Both were really fresh and delicious. Two small improvements would have been the panini being a bit hotter and more avocado in the sandwich as it was very thinly sliced but, we will definitely be back to try some of the other delicious food we saw coming out of the kitchen.
