A little camera roll dump from lately 🍵🧪
The past few weeks have been full of renovation updates, menu trials, endless deliveries, long days, endless drives up the country (that’s on having two coffee shops in different towns) and lots of behind-the-scenes chaos… but it’s all finally starting to come together.
We’ve watched the space transform piece by piece — the microcement, mint tiles, stainless steel counters, our coffee machine finally being installed (!!) — and it’s been so exciting seeing Matcha Lab come to life.
We’ve also been deep into menu testing and honestly… the food dishes are unreal and the drinks are INSANE. We cannot wait for you to try what we’ve been creating 👀
Some of our packaging has started arriving and we are OBSESSED with how it’s turned out, it truly encapsulates the matcha lab vibe 💚
Somewhere between all of that, we’ve held endless interviews, built the best team, and started trying some of our favourite local spots around Winchester too — everyone has been so welcoming already ✨
Less than ONE week until opening now…
We’re so ready to invite you into the lab. See you 22nd May at 12pm 👀🧪

THANK YOU to everyone who joined us at the first ever Winchester Pride last Saturday. We were over the moon to see so many supporters there. We’ve estimated that over 500 people took part which is an amazing result for our first event.
The Committee has already met to discuss what went well and we have lots of ideas about how we might improve things next time round. We’d love to hear your suggestions too; please email us at [email protected]
Until then, save the date…

A small snippet from our time with the team at @overdraftbars
Working through ideas, flavours and what will find its way onto the table for A Table for Winchester.
Everything from their side will be fully gluten free, with both plant based and meat offerings on the night.
Another thread in the wider story of Winchester’s independents, all coming together around one table.
More soon.

@the_tacover_uk 2026 - my full run as one of the judges.
From classic birria to loaded fusion tacos, this year brought serious flavour, creativity and some stand out vendors.
Three minutes of pure taco action, honest reactions and everything I tried on the day.
That was my full Tacover run. Thanks for sticking with me - more reviews coming soon.

This weekend we celebrated all things Mexican, tacos, tequila & more 🌮🍸💃
We stuffed our faces on mouth watering authentic tacos from loads of different traders, every single one was a hit but the most talked about tacos in our group where from @slamtaco@nopalito_uk and those beef birria tacos from @overdraftbars 👌👌
Our standout cocktails were the watermelon margaritas and the classic 🍸
What an amazing day this was. Please come back again next year 🙏 🇲🇽
