1449 Restaurant, Bar & Grill in Basingstoke and Deane

Six colleagues met for dinner; after one hour of a wait for a table in the almost empty restaurant we sat down. Ordered our food, almost another hour past and one of our two ordered breadboard starters arrived, then a burger before the second starter. Next came somewhere more mains including the smallest piece of steak imaginable with a surf and turf. The person serving us “Max I think” was great he couldn’t apologise enough but the management watched him without doing anything at all to help. The bill came incorrectly and all in all we won’t eat here again due to lack of attention by management and many staff. Very disappointed as the Crowne Plaza everywhere else is great.

Went here over the weekend and had a great time. The restaurant is lovely, tucked away at the back of the hotel and is very well maintained and modern. The food was also excellent on the whole, the only question mark for me is over the bread basket starter however the mains and dessert were well worth the money. The staff deserve a mention also, they are very friendly and attentive. In summary I am pleased to have dined here and will definitely be back again another time

After an hour or two online trying to find somewhere different to eat, we came across this restaurant and thought we’d give it a chance. We arrived and was immediately impressed by the appearance of the hotel and restaurant. Even though we had booked it didn’t seem they had received our booking but managed to seat us anyway. The menu isn’t large but has a variety of dishes that all sound delicious, from Roast dinners to Curry or Pie and mash. Food was tasty, staff are very friendly and helpful, what more could you ask for? This may be our new restaurant of choice.

The staff were exeptionally friendly and amazing with children from check in to the restaurant. Rooms so spacious and more than comfortable. You name it they had it for breakfast even a pancake making machine. Would highly recommend a stay here and it's not too far from Peppa Pig world. Exceptional value

Visited today ! Lovely quiet location, very smart restaurant with outside seating available. All staff were very pleasant and efficient. The food selection was absolutely brilliant, beautifully presented and .... very tasty!. Will definitely book for a family lunch soon !

Sit indoors or outside and enjoy the surrounding garden. The restaurant is a great accompaniment to the Crown Plaza hotel with the same friendly and attentive service. Nenu offers a good selection with something for everyone (including a separate pizza menu). Generous helpings without sacrificing any quality. perhaps could have offered more variety from one day to the next for the "soup of the day". Also enjoyed some great breakfasts here during my stay at the hotel.

Bar food is overpriced for both quality and quantity. Deserts are tiny for £6.50 +. Fish and chips is good - batter is one of the best - but so it should be at £13.50. Avoid the "hot dog" - two sausages that have clearly been pre-cooked and allowed to cool before being re-heated and served, quite possibly left over from the breakfast service, Then smothered with far too much English mustard - what happened to serving condiments in small quantity on the side of the plate?

If it wasn't raining we would have ate elsewhere. We were not disappointed, the food was average, if a little worse, than normal. I had the sirloin steak, my wife had a chicken burger. Both served on wooden platters, not a fan. Steak was not the best was cooked medium rare as requested, but just edible. Chips slightly underdone and average fare. Cherry tomatoes were sour, come on guys roasting them should bring out some sweetness. (buy some Piccolo ones) Glad we didn't have starter or desert. All done to a price. We don't have breakfasts anymore, Crowne plaza food used to be great. A race to mediocrity, what a shame. Staff pleasant and attentive, place clean and decorated in a nice modern fashion.
