Neighbouring its sister shop, The Wine Cellar, this charming bistro-style café combines fresh, locally sourced ingredients with a menu that reflects comfort food done well, delivered with care and attention to detail.
From the moment you arrive, The Food Cellar invites you to slow down and enjoy simple, delicious food made to order.

Breakfast is served daily, with a selection of classic and contemporary dishes crafted using high-quality, fresh ingredients. Highlights include their Food Cellar Breakfast—featuring scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, sausage, mushrooms, and house-made potatoes—or the rich and comforting baked eggs, served on a bed of spiced tomato and peppers with Old Winchester cheese. For those seeking lighter options, the avocado toast with miso-roasted tomatoes and pickled red onion is a popular choice, or there’s the wholesome blueberry banana smoothie bowl for a refreshing start to the day.
The lunch menu offers a thoughtful mix of sandwiches, hearty salads, and snacks. Their house sandwiches are packed with flavour, including the Cubano with porchetta and roast ham or the French Dip with roasted beef and a side of gravy for dipping. There’s also a variety of sharers and platters, including their cheese and charcuterie boards, all served with artisan breads, house-made chutneys, and pickles—perfect for leisurely grazing.
In addition to their savoury plates, The Food Cellar offers a tempting selection of cakes and pastries, baked fresh daily and ideal for pairing with their carefully chosen coffee and tea selection. For those seeking something a little more indulgent, their house-made sausage roll or truffle chips with garlic aioli are local favourites, adding a gourmet twist to traditional comfort fare.
Sundays bring a more leisurely feel, with the addition of Sunday roasts and sharing boards, making The Food Cellar a popular choice for family lunches or relaxed get-togethers. The venue also caters to vegetarians and offers a range of gluten-free options, ensuring everyone can enjoy their fresh, handmade dishes.
All ingredients are carefully sourced, with many of the cheeses, meats, and deli items available to purchase from the adjoining Wine Cellar shop.
