Bartons Mill in Basingstoke and Deane

Great rooms, food was excellent.

We often visit and the staff are always friendly but today our waitress was at a whole other level of happiness and it was a joy to chat with her 😊

It is a superb venue. The location is picturesque and the staff are friendly, helpful and always smiling.

We had the best wedding day at Bartons Mill. We knew the venue already and always thought it would be a lovely venue - and when it came to deciding on a venue when we got engaged, we actually only looked at one other place as we knew it was perfect for us. The team took SUCH good care of us, and Flo (their events manager) spent so much time helping us and getting to know us. They were happy for us to have our ceremony downstairs, even though it hadn't been done before, and we felt as though we were in very safe hands. It's a beautiful venue, with beams, a watermill, fairy lights, an incredible fireplace downstairs, and is situated by a pretty stream. A perfect place for a cosy, chilled, pub wedding!

Called in to this lovely country pub after a friend recommended it. It did not disappoint! Set in a glorious spot with a super garden next to a relaxing river. Decided to stay for lunch and enjoyed the service and food with lots of choice on offer. The inside was charming and it was terrific to view the old mill stones and the history of the building. I would recommend you give this place a try, I feel sure you’ll be happy with your visit.

Really beautiful location and wonderful friendly staff

Lovely experience, this pub really is a hidden gem

Beautiful location, excellent food. Rooms are available, however, I have not used them. Really good beer.

What an absolute gem! We had a great stay this weekend, staff were friendly and attentive, food was delicious and loads of choice (both evening meals and breakfast) and the rooms were absolutely beautiful! If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely be back!

We came and stayed at your beautiful place on the 9/1024 My husband had had a routine operation and we don't live close by We chose Bartins mill and it didn't disappoint! We stayed till the 12/10 .. we could have stayed longer Room/Bathroom .. lovely ,warm and clean Pub .. / Restaurant excellent.. Food .. wonderful.. Thankyou Hopefully we're come and stay again

Lovely pub and great atmosphere. We'll be back for sure

Lovely place, we enjoyed the restaurant and the outside bar area as well. Great staff, very friendly and helpful.

Top notch quality and service for this visit.I was here a couple of months ago and while it was ok, this time around they’ve really upped their game.The room was lovely and service at the the bar and restaurant was great.A real pleasure for this visit.Well done

Had our daughter's wedding reception here, the rooms were lovely and clean, the food was lovely, drinks were nice and the staff were fantastic, they made the whole weekend absolutely perfect. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

Lovely rooms, tasty food and fantastic service. Thank you!

Lovely stay, rooms very comfortable. Dinner and service very good.

Busy pub based around an old mill. Good food selection and large outside area. Plenty of drink choices and newly introduced Folly Road Evolution IPA excellent

Enjoyed our stay here. The breakfast was also very good.

Very highly recommended. Our first visit but we will be back. An excellent lunch and a warm welcome with terrific wines and beers. Top class.

Currently sat eating in this venue and it is stunning. We are publicans and the standards here are amazing. Attentive staff,friendly service,fantastic food. Beautiful setting. Hinestly a wonderful experience Many thanks

Didn't stay here, just stopped in for lunch after my son played a football match. Food was good and so was the service. Didn't really look around but seemed like a pretty location.

Absolutely amazing place and amazing food and staff. We came for our daughter's wedding and we were not disappointed. Everything was perfect! Thank you all so much xx

A historic place with English Architecture and treasured mill. Lovely food n drink and Excellent services. A gem in Basingstoke🫶

Went there for a wedding reception but venue was OK. Just had drinks and snacks

Very clean, beautiful spot and a well presented establishment. A hidden gem situated in old basing near the river, in a beautiful clearing. Good rooms available for the night and lots of area to explore. Prices and steep here, so expect to pay London equivalent. If your looking to drink and enjoy a sunset,.or quiet nice garden, I found the crown around the corner much better and kinder.in the wallet,.along with better entertainment and options.

Lovely location, great menu, friendly staff.

Service is spot on. Food is definitely spot on (highly recommend the burger). Staff are friendly. Was expecting it to cost more to feed us than it did (2 adults and 2 children just over £60) but I was pleasantly surprised with the price. Seems very dog friendly. Would deifnitely come here again. (As I say try the burger) ------------------------ Came here on our way back from Somerset. I can definitely confirm my previous review - try the burger. It's absolutely banging. The food is absolutely lovely and the staff are even lovelier - a special shout out to Hannah K who was extremely attentive and I think her efforts should be recognised and rewarded. I'm a firm believer in giving praise where it's due. Beer line maintenance is also well attended to by the taste of the beer - a thoroughly enjoyable pint. They have tabasco sauce available too which definitely deserves brownie points. Would definitely be a regular here if we lived closer (we are from Essex and only passing). Once again, a special thanks to Hannah K for being a little legend :)

Good pub food in a nice environment with a cracking garden.

Just arrived home after a very disappointing hour and half at Barton’s Mill. We walked in and the lady behind the bar treated us as if we were bothering her for asking about a table we had booked. No smile or greeting!! Ordered our meal which was promptly delivered. My husband had Haddock and chips, nobody asked if he would like vinegar or ketchup, I went to the bar to ask the lady for some, she raised her eyes in exasperation (don’t think she meant for me to see) I later asked for her name!! Hannah, even if you are having a bad day you can’t treat customers like this. Such a shame about her attitude, she spoilt our anniversary meal/evening.

Very slow service, had to ask for menus, never had a check in whilst having the main meal, desert menus had to be asked and was left 25 mins and had to ask about them so just asked for the bill and wanted to leave

Been to Barton Mill quite a few times, with family and friends, amazing atmosphere friendly staff, good value for money, worth going

What a detight this place was for my grandsons 21st birthday celebrations. Friends staff .. fabulous "HOT" food and a atmosphere where we could enjoy together our family time. Looking forward to a return visit soon .. thanks to all team for making this a night to remember.

Lovely place for families, and friends (including four legged ones) to meet. A very hot day for my get together so sat inside, cool and stylish, but lots going on outside for braver diners.

Had a wonderful evening celebrating a big birthday, staff very accommodating and friendly. Lovely food and service

Roast pork sandwich, very very good.

Great selection of beers, food a bit pricey

Had our wedding back in June, it is a beautiful venue with very kind and helpful staff. Very atmospheric and just helpful all around. The rooms were beautiful and spacious, especially the bridal suite which was huge and luxurious. There is also a lovely walk down the river right outside. We are looking forward to coming back to have food at the pub on our anniversaries.

Very slow service, small tables, no cutlery, overall poor service for a Friday....

We travelled 50 miles to listen to a band. We got there early but were thrown off our table so locals could sit down. I thought that rubbish went out in the 1960s. Overpriced.

A beautiful restoration of what has always been a wonderful venue

Fantastic setting and still has all the old mill machinery inside. My simple ham, egg and chips was good, Chips excellent! Otherwise menu looked a bit limited.

I came here for lunch, the weather was warm and sunny. The pub is next to a river, The Loddon I believe. The food menu is traditional pub food and very good. The service was very good even though it was busy. Dog friendly SW facing garden. I have been here a lot of times over the years. It does get very busy on a hot weekend.

The location is absolutely gorgeous and the place is lovely. I wanted to love it, but service is just excruciating. There is a queue from the door to the bar (apparently this is a "Bartons Mill thing") and lots of staff milling about, but often just one serving drinks. No idea what the others were doing but it was annoying. My eyes rolled. I spent 20 minutes queuing and almost fossilised. Had a nice bottle of wine (to save queuing again) and the garden is perfect.

They did an amazing job with daughter’s wedding this week and made it perfect. The team are so good, food spot on and great dog friendly rooms. Used the ev charger and they even had a field full of rabbits the other side of the railway for the dog to totally not catch.

Lovely spot near Basing house with stream running through. Food was great and very reasonable. Beer was good and staff were friendly and accommodating. Will be back for sure

Visited here for a wedding reception. Superb from start to finish. Keep it up guys.

Great location, right by a stream. Great out door seating area.

Fast food service. Excelent staff. Amazing calm location.

Amazing food, really helpful staff even while being busy during England match Euro 2024. Defo recommend to anyone who wants good food and great location

Friendly staff vert helpful and great food, enjoy the evening

Great spot for chilling and enjoying nature.

I visited Barton's Mill on 26 June with my sister, not a great reception, two people serving at the bar, tables outside not cleared with leftovers and dirty glasses, and a number if people having to clear the tables themselves! long queues to the bar withe one person serving, Oh not forgetting just a couple of feet where we were sitting a dog did a squidgy large poo and then peeded up the sign, not a good experience

Absolutely stunning location and recommend if you are in the area. Great outside area, had a big screen showing the football on. Good mixed crowd of people. Would recommend for friends, dates, people with dogs. Super good service and great food.

Excellent Sunday roast, good service and reasonably priced. Could add hot custard to your puddings though.

Had a wonderful experience. It was great watching football and grabbing a drink before a tasty dinner. Worth every penny.

Supplied event equipment very knowledgeable and friendly staff

We had our wedding here last month, it was amazing from start to finish! The setting is lovely and peaceful by the river and was perfect for our relaxed day. The food was delicious and we had compliments from our guests. Staff were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much. We also stayed in the rooms as did some of our guests, who said were very comfortable and clean. We would recommend Barton's Mill to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

Nice setting but food was average.. Husbands we felt was over priced for what it was.

Booked her for a birthday lunch. Served at our table by Chanelle who was absolutely brilliant. Food was fantastic and the drinks were brilliant with a great variety.

Lovely location by the water, tranquil setting so close to town. Nice range of food and drinks, friendly staff

Myself and eight friends came to the rubber duck race on bank holiday Monday which was a fantastically well put on event in itself. When it was finished but we still had over an hour and a half to wait until our dinner reservation, I asked if there was any chance we could eat early and Barton's immediately saw us to our table, quickly served us drinks and checked in on any allergy concerns, dinner swiftly followed and nothing was too much trouble (a couple of us had a sharer starter as a main and our gluten free friend was informed of what was available for them and then fully catered for). When it came to paying the bill and splitting it between us all, the lovely server grabbed a pad and started working out the maths on our behalf, then coming over with the card machine for us all to pay. From arrival at midday to leaving at 5:15pm, we could not have enjoyed ourselves more - a wonderful day out with wonderful people, thank you for such a perfect day!!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at this wonderful venue on May 25th , if we could give this special place 6 stars we would! Everything was perfect from the moment our guests arrived. The bedrooms are superb, the staff are all super attentive and go that extra mile to make sure your day is memorable in every way, the food was outstanding and the Mill House rich in history and super cosy for our guests (62). Flo, our wedding manager, was always on hand to make sure our day was perfect...we couldn't have asked for more....everyone, including ourselves, had the most wonderful weekend celebrating our wedding at Bartons Mill! Thank you so so much to all the staff. Allen & Claire.

Lovely place sat outside as lovely day had a beautiful meal fish and chips amazing and roast dinner looked so good definitely recommend to go there good as very dog Friendly

It’s beautiful sitting outside with your friends having good cocktails and some food in weekend 🍹

lovely area for eating, menu varied and reasonably priced. portions well worth price paid. canal and ducks add to ambience. outside the seating area has benches with parasol and numbered tables, two cubicle huts, food and drinks ordered inside, collect your own cutlery, food delivered to tables freshly made and hot. Very friendly staff. Dog friendly as well.

My first visit to this beautiful pub which is in a truly lovely area. As the sun had come out we spent most of our time in the large picturesque garden, luckily with a table right alongside the river so we had a perfect view of the ducks and ducklings as they too enjoyed the weather. The bar staff were welcoming and friendly and helped us to choose from a well thought out menu. All in all a pleasant lunchtime visit which has led to us planning a return visit this time to enjoy the evening restaurant with more time to take in the inside of the old mill house.

A very welcoming and efficient team

Great location with the water mill and river. Food is some of the best, with a wide range of gluten free( which you can’t tell the difference) Beer selection is good. Staff are welcoming and friendly.

Visited for lunch today with friends…a Monday! Great weather meant it was packed with no car spaces. We had booked and our table was named and we were warmly greeted. Despite the numbers inside and out we were served promptly, efficiently and very courteously. The whole dining experience was top drawer. Thank you team Barton’s Mill

The food in the restaurant was excellent, in fact the Tagliatelle was the best I've tasted outside of Italy! The garden seating area is so pretty and the staff welcoming. I felt relaxed watching the ducks on the river. What a beautiful venue. I will definitely return with my partner for an overnight stay.

On a Sunday that was the hottest day of the year, the pub was heaving with families, kids, dogs, and diners. The staff just got on with it and our table of five was served drinks and Sunday lunch in a timely manner. Obviously good planning & team work paid off, well done the staff.

Good location with a lovely walk nearby. Sadly, the person who invited me didn't get the table he reserved, and water was gushing out of a pipe outside into the seating area, which was ugly. The food was OK, but nothing special. Probably wouldn't go again.

Lovely atmosphere and location, service friendly, food excellent. particularly love the fact that prices are so reasonable by reducing the portion size (e.g. of sticks) which is much better in my opinion than racking up prices with often portion sizes that leads to waste. Well done!

Excellent food and drink, and a great place to stay if you're looking for B&B. Pub garden by a chalk stream set around the old mill pond is idyllic.

Very nice ,good service ,had the quiche (very small portions considering price !!!!!

Lovely place, good beer and food.

Lovely meal and setting. Had a roast dinner which was fab.

I stayed one night in the accommodation and also had a meal plus breakfast the next day. The breakfast was top notch, the room (12) very spacious, clean and well equipped and the whole place seemed really well run.

The venue is beautiful and we felt really looked after. I think it was Emma that looked after us - may have been the last shift before she goes on maternity leave, she was friendly, helpful with the menu, really calm and funny. The other staff were super attentive and just an overall great experience. Already planned our next trip! Thanks Jess

Evening out for drinks, great pub and atmosphere 👌

Great place on the river with a good atmosphere Ignor the main picture as the outside canopy has now been removed - not sure why

The restaurant is perfect. Low beams, great lighting, lovely. But there was a dog that wouldn’t stop yapping and ruined everything. Many people were fed up because of this yapper.. also, menu is great and I had the burger, but it was as dry as the Sahara desert, on an extra dry day. Everyone loves a juicy and for the use of a better word, moist burger, and it wasn’t and I as very disappointed

Excellent experience from start to finish keep up your hardwork and great customer service Regards Steve hawes

We were a party of 15 our server was extraordinary nothing was too much trouble. Food and drink very acceptable

Fantastic Sunday lunch the best we've had in a pub for a long time! Really good staff too. Would highly recommend

Greedy service very friendly and we felt well looked after.

We recently visited Bartons Mill pub and was delighted by the exceptional friendliness of the staff. Not only that, but the food was also delicious. It was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this pub for its welcoming atmosphere and tasty meals.

Brought my parents for Sunday lunch and we absolutely loved it. Two pork lunches and a roast beef all of which were lovely. Great value for money and fantastic service from all the staff. Highly recommended. Many thanks

Some of people that served us kept huffing and was genuinely not happy yes it was a large party but not a excuse for rudeness

Food was Great, Staff were perfect. Pregnant Lady (sorry forgot your name) was awesome, so lovely and on top form, really friendly and professional. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

Gorgeous venue, love the river, the water is so clear, the ducks, it was a lovely family meal!

We came here for a late lunch at the pub after a visit to nearby Basing House. We got a nice table outside. Service was effective and our meals were typical English pub food.

A beautiful spot. The staff are friendly and efficient. The food is reasonable and more than satisfactory for pub grub. The Ale could do with a rethink - very weak and lacking taste.

We were a party of eight, food, atmosphere, and the staff were all excellent

Went for a nice Sunday Roast here for the first time today. What a lovely place! The staff were great and the food delicious.

Lovely place to chill out with a pint

First time visit as a family and was not disappointed. My only criticism would be service was a little slow but given the restaurant was a tad busy and there seemed to be a staff shortage then it was understandable. That said our server was polite, happy and attentive when she did get to our table. Definitely will be back as the food overall was tasty and well cooked with a good selection on the menu to choose from.

Excellent service from staff (sorry didn’t know name but she was pregnant), overall food nice but small portions for the money hence the four instead of five rating.

Nice location very poor service had to que for a long time to be served Had to ask for the table to be cleared and wiped Staff not collecting plates and glasses from surrounding tables You need to employ move staff at peak times in weekends Also you have massive pot holes at entrance of the car park The manager should be on top of this.

Didn't use hotel, had lovely lunch at the pub
