The Black Rat Review

For years The Black Rat Restaurant was a run-of-the-mill Winchester boozer called the Kings Arms, but of late the seventeenth-century building has been transformed into a restaurant with strong British leanings and picking up a Michelin star along the way. Chris Storey is well-known locally (he used to run the nearby Chesil Rectory) and he has teamed up with chef Chris Bailey and front-of-house manager Christien Hay (ex-Peat Spade Inn, Longstock).

The comforting interior (wood beams, exposed brickwork) makes a pleasing backdrop for food with some interesting and unusual accents.
