Lovely shop, always worth a visit if you’re going through Lyndhurst. Lovely coffees which they can grind for you (the vanilla is my favourite) and lots of specialist gins which they know all about and you can try. Always very welcoming!

This place should also be known as "The Best kept secret in Winchester!" The food and the staff are all outstanding. Victoria was awesome!! She was attentive, polite and professional throughout. We ordered a coffee and a panini for lunch which was made fresh and just as I ordered it. Afterwards we enjoyed one of the extensive selection of cakes which was excellent. All staff were very good with keeping ‘covid compliant’ throughout. We didn’t use the craft shop which adjoins the cafe however I did have a look and was very impressed with what I saw. The children looked like they were having a great time and next time I’m in town, I will be bring them here to enjoy making some of the crafts in the run up to Christmas. I would definitely recommend coming here. We went to the BellaCrafts in Winchester but couldn't find it on Trip Advisor so have posted it on the Fair Oak site.

Been a few times with my son who loves curiosities. Everytime we go there's cool stuff to see and we've bought some good pieces too. All the COVID bits are up to date and the people there are awesome. Highly recommend

I could spend hours in this shop, there’s such a great range of boardgames and the staff are very knowledgeable. They also have a Facebook page which I message to check on games I’m looking for, and they’re always helpful and prompt in replies. Would highly recommend!
