If you’ve spent any time scrolling TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen The Winchester in Costa Adeje popping up on your feed — especially for their famous mozzarella sticks! We decided to check it out for ourselves on a recent family trip to Playa Fañabé, and here’s exactly how it went.
🌅 First Impressions
The Winchester sits right on Calle Londres, just off the Playa Fañabé promenade. With a sea-view terrace, friendly staff, and that relaxed Tenerife buzz, it’s instantly welcoming.
We were booked in to a table up the back with a lovely big TV where we could watch the football. The atmosphere was easy-going, and there was a mix of couples, families, and groups of friends.
🧀 The TikTok-Famous Mozzarella Sticks
Yes, the hype is real — these are the viral mozzarella sticks that have everyone talking. When ours arrived, they were enormous: three long, golden sticks oozing cheese.
The kids couldn’t wait to film the cheese pull for their TikTok, and honestly, it was impressive. Were they the best we’ve ever tasted? Maybe not — they’re more of a fun food experience than a gourmet treat — but they’re worth ordering just for the novelty.
Our advice? Order one portion to share. They’re filling!
🍔 The Food & Menu
The Winchester’s menu covers British pub favourites and international comfort food — from burgers and wraps to steaks, ribs, and salads.
Here’s what we ordered:
-
🍔 The Winchester Burger — stacked high and perfectly cooked.
-
🥩 Sirloin steak — great value and cooked to perfection.
-
🍕 A classic pizza for both the kids, which disappeared in minutes.
Everything arrived hot, fresh, and generously portioned — exactly what you want after a beach day.
🍹 Atmosphere & Service
If you love a lively, family-friendly pub vibe, The Winchester is spot on. There’s usually live music or sports on TV, and the staff are friendly even when things get busy.
We were served quickly, though reviews suggest that during peak times it can get a little hectic — understandable for such a popular spot.
✅ Pro tip: Go around 6 p.m. to get a good table and avoid the queues.
🎵 Entertainment & Evening Vibes
As the sun set, the live music started and the energy lifted even more. It’s a great place to relax, enjoy a drink, and soak up the Tenerife atmosphere.
The Winchester strikes a nice balance between British comfort and Canary Islands charm, which makes it especially good for families like ours.
