Came here for pre-dinner cocktails and it was exceptional. The service amongst the best I?ve ever received - considerate, informative and attentive.Time was taken to explain the concept and ensure we made informed choices about the drinks and biscuits which were themselves delicious.The venue itself is beautifully decorated and adds to the overall experience wonderfully.How refreshing to go somewhere doing something entirely new exquisitely.

Was intrigued by the concept of Proudfoot & Co. with foraged ingredients being the staple for their drinks. What is a good concept is executed perfectly by the passionate faces behind the shop and uniquely delicious drinks. I?ll be recommending to anyone visiting Winchester!

If i could give it a higher rating i would. So I'll start of and say that yes, this place is expensive, but you 100% get what you pay for. The owner(s?) are so sweet and came out to talk to us about all the different drinks, how he forages for the things himself and even let us try some of the syrups and things that go into the drinks. We tried a few different drinks, but my favourite was the Honeydew one. It tastes like a next level mojito. The woodsman was also amazing. The drinks left me a little lost for words. You could taste every element of the drinks, none of them were overpowering. We will 10000% be returning back when we come to Winchester. Thank you for such an fantastic experience ?

What a great little business and very unique. We entered expecting some original cocktails. We selected some seats and Oliver came over and explained the concept and demo?s (tasters) some of the ingredients that go into the cocktails.All unusual and totally original.Ordered our drinks and 2 light bites. Drinks were Roman Tonic, some sort of Cream Soda and a Woodman. Bites were a type of Christmas tart and a hot Malt Loaf.Everything was superb. The drinks were different but similar to thinks we?d tasted before. The atomic was a little like Cuba Libre, the Woodman like a White Russian and the Soda like a Pina Colida. All non alcoholic. All freshly made.The tart and the Malt loaf were delicious. The room is a cross between an apothecary and a lounge. We felt like we were transported back to the Victorian era.We spent about 90mins in there and will definitely return. Thanks to Oliver and Eughan (excuse the spelling!) for hosting us.

The drinks and food were nothing short of exceptional! Oliver gave us an immensely informative and enthusiastic overview of the menu and ingredients, making us feel welcome the entire time and tending to our every need. I could not recommend this place more!

We were introduced to the ingredients found in our drinks, the Woodsman and the Cream Soda. It was such a fun and delicious experience. The drinks are pricey but you can't deny the quality you get from them since they are all foraged and made by traditional means.

A drinking lounge like no other, serving delicious, non-alcoholic "cocktails" made from locally sourced or foraged ingredients. Well worth a visit.

Loved the whole concept of this lounge where they serve drinks that are made using traditional techniques and recipes and with ingredients that are locally gathered and foraged.We had The Woodsman and Foraged Cream Soda. Both were tasty and refreshing. Don?t forget to stir The Woodsman well before drinking :)

What a great place! My daughter and I happened on Proudfoot by chance, and tried the Woodsman and the Hedgerow Sour. Both were sublime! The ginger snaps and almond biscuits we ordered too, were heavenly!We were given a warm welcome by a completely engaging, and very knowledgeable staff member, who, before we ordered gave us a sample taste of some of the base syrups used in the drinks. It was so much fun, and so hard to choose! Such a unique, surprising, inspiring, and enjoyable experience!!! Thank you Proudfoot.We will return, without doubt!!

We were looking for a drink in the afternoon and ended up near Proudfoot. What an interesting place. Drinks and snacks sourced from local ingredients and old recipes. Not only interesting and sustainable, also extremely nice. The experience nicely packaged, with an upfront tasting of the ingredients. Altogether a great place, albeit not cheap.

Went with my SO and the in-laws. We stumbled on this place on our way to the cathedral. The drinks were interesting, but nothing special. Wasn't exactly blown away considering how expensive it was. It's all made to seem like some grand spectacle - but in reality it's just some millennial hipster fella rummaging around the local bushes for unique ingredients that should probably be just left for the wildlife to eat! Awful music. Great decor. Intimidating and nosy staff. Easy to get to. Bit pretentious, I can see why this is the only bar of its type in the city. I hope nothing else opens up like this because the in-laws will have to visit me at home instead!

Absolutely stunning first time at Proudfoot! Have always wanted to experience the beauty of the foraged and these were the most exquisite drinks I?ve ever experienced. Ollie was just incredible, so passionate, welcoming and knowledgeable about the beautifully picked ingredients, my new favourite being the Woodsman. That syrup is the nectar of the stars! A tranquil atmosphere in the heart of Winchester, beautiful drinks, amazing team and love for nature :) a must try if you?re here for a visit. Thank you!

Such a cool concept! Interesting flavours and delicious drinks. Friendly owner and manager too who are really knowledgeable about the work they're doing. Very aesthetic space too, feels connected to the nature, in the same way the drinks connect you to nature. Will be keen to visit again.
