Tucked in the heart of Winchester, Basil Leaf Deli is a cozy family-run restaurant. Two chefs with a shared love for bold flavours and locally sourced ingredients, they’ve crafted a menu that celebrates the best of Hampshire. Our signature dish, the lion’s mane mushroom steaks, is a true standout—an exclusive creation that’s only available at Basil Leaf Deli in the region. For meat lovers, our chunky Hampshire cows burgers and perfectly cooked steaks are the perfect indulgence.Located just a stone’s throw from iconic landmarks like Winchester Cathedral, our inviting space is perfect for families, friends, or anyone looking for a relaxed yet vibrant dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with live music performances from talented local bands, offering everything from smooth jazz to upbeat reggae. We’re also known for our exceptional cheese platters, thoughtfully paired with a carefully curated selection of wines and cocktails—arguably the best in town.
