Winchester Arms brings a cozy British Style Pub to this charming neighbourhood. The Winchester Arms has been a favourite spot for the people. Many of the regulars are British who enjoy the coziness and friendliness of their little pub.
I visited The Winchester Arms recently and was very disappointed with the visit. The restaurant had only a few tables occupied at 7:30pm on a Saturday night. This should have been a dead give away that we should walk right back out the door without ordering anything at all.
The waitresses were ok, it's not like they went out of their way to make us feel welcome, but they were polite enough.
We ordered the Cajun chicken salad for an appetizer, Scotch meat pie and halibut and chips for an entree, and didn't bother with dessert. My halibut was ok, though the breading on the fish was way too thick. the fish being only a tiny portion of this huge fried thing. The fries that came with the fish n chips claimed to be fresh cut... they tasted as though they were fried, cooled and fried again. (sorta like I got the leftovers from the last order). The scotch meat pie tasted and looked processed. My husband's mushy peas were slightly burned and the mashed potatoes were luke warm.
My husband and I both felt a little ill later that evening, and I suspect the food.
All in all, I'd bet that 90% of the food from this kitchen was made by someone else and shipped in frozen, because you really can taste it. If I wanted TV dinner style food, I'd buy one for 5 bucks instead of wasting 40+ dollars on this meal.

The service is friendly, the ambience is typical of a traditional british pub. The all you can eat wings are a great deal and very yummy. The nachos are piled high. The ingreditents are fresh and dinner is served with a smile.
