Bartons Mill in Basingstoke and Deane

My wife and I are staying in Basingstoke for the Easter weekend,my wife decided to go here for lunch after a long dog walk…. Being such nice weather,the pub and beer garden were quite busy,but we were expecting that.. We had a drink while looking at the menu,we decided on a pizza and fish and chips (We shared) The food was very nice,freshly cooked and hit the spot. The staff are very friendly,even to our dog. If we were to return to the area,I’m sure we will definitely return. I’d definitely recommend this pub for food and drink….

Bartons Mill was booked for an anniversary dinner. To our surprise it was closed! We were directed to the bar to have a meal there...no way! We left feeling very disappointed, as it was supposed to be a special occasion. Booked through website with no indication it was closed. We will not be going back.

The staff were brilliant , kind , considerate and thoughtful . The pregnant lady ( sorry didn’t take her name ) was lovely n nothing was too much bother .the room was spacious and very clean amd oscar our dog had been catered for as well as us . Would love to stay there again. The food was also good . The pub was set in lovely surroundings making a great place to walk your dog .

I went there with my friends on a Friday evening. It was not that busy although there was a party in a room upstairs - which did not impact our evening anyway. The food was really lovely, priced at what is a normal price these days (around £15 for a main, £6/£7 for a pudding). Service was good. Setting is beautiful. Staff was lovely. Plenty of space to park. I didn’t see an electric charging pod in the car park but it was dark as it was an evening meal so not sure if there is one.

We stayed here for 1 night and we had a really lovely stay. The staff were all very helpful, pleasant and professional. Our room was delightful, exceptionally clean, toiletries were lovely and the room had everything you needed. We had a lovely dinner, washed down with local ales and a nice bottle of red wine. The staff were kind enough to light the water wheel feature up to enable us to see it. Breakfast was delicious and again had everything you needed to set you up for the day. It has a lovely outside area which is very popular with walkers and the pub is dog friendly. Would definitely recommend and would love to return if we were in the area again.

Lovely venue but very busy and difficult to get a drink at times, staff were brilliant despite how busy it was. Slightly expensive but worth it for the setting they have there.

Always a lovely place to go to due to the venue. Service is decent most of the time and food is good although I haven't eaten here in a while. On the pricier side but it doesn't stop me from returning.

My wife and I with our friends had another excellent evening at Bartons Mill. Grace has a really nice personality and welcomed us on our arrival. The table we had requested online was ready for us. The food, service and beer were excellent as usual, delivered with care and kindness. Many thanks to the great team there !

My family and I came to enjoy a Sunday lunch and that we did. The menu selection was good and the specials were a added bonus. We were sat in the older part of the building by a beautiful roaring fire . Our waitress (blonde with fringe) was great and explained the specials and was very efficient. She checked we were happy with everything and brought and cleared everything very quickly . Food was delicious and we enjoyed 3 courses . Will most definitely come again and may even stay in the accommodation, as the waitress really made it sound lovely . 5 stars all round .

A very friendly welcome. Pretty location just a short way from main roads. Efficient service and really good food. Generous portions. Would highly recommend …. Oh and the visiting cat “Ted” was great entertainment for our 4 yr old.

My partner & I visited this pub for the first time last Saturday afternoon for lunch. We had chosen it as it is a Wadworth brewery pub and was located on our way home to Surrey from Wiltshire. It was busy for the last Saturday of 2023 and we were glad we had booked online in advance. The service was polite & friendly. The food was very tasty. My partner had the wood pigeon to start and I had the tempura cod cheeks. We both had the chicken, ham & leek pies for mains, which were especially good. The location of this pub is beautiful set amongst woodland and very popular with dog walkers. We would happily return if we were in the area again. Highly recommended.

Staff were really friendly and helpful. Food was incredible. We had a great family Boxing Day meal for 15 people that was really reasonably priced for the quality of food served. Thank you for making our Christmas family day so amazing!

We met for a pre-Christmas family meal. The food was amazing and the service excellent. Would definitely recommend

Me and my fiancee have been trying to finish our wedding booking and no one is available, not a Monday, Wednesday or Friday when they say they are supposed to be available. I have been ringing since we gave over our deposit and now we can never get an answer, or the wedding coordinator is never in. We have left message after message and had no return call. The wedding side is completely independent from the pub side, the manager has no clue or access to anything and they never have antone to stand in. My advice is don't bother with this place, it would be preferable to lose our deposit, which would be withheld even though we have tried and they cannot be bothered to help.

We booked a table for 16 for a Xmas dinner and were blown away by the service and the quality of the food. Absolute delicious meal which, when you consider the number of people, is impressive. Service was excellent, they brought out food and knew who had ordered what, took drink orders regularly and were friendly. The tables looked gorgeous, we had the best time. Thank you!

We chose to visit here as it is a convenient location between our home and my parent's. It was a celebration meal for my Mum's 80th. We sat downstairs and despite the open fire it was freezing cold. Many people in the restaurant had coats...

We went to Bartons Mill for our company Christmas meal. We had a brilliant time. The restaurant was cosy and festive. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was plentiful, hot and delicious. You couldn't really ask for more..

Came here for a relaxed lunch with friends, and boy did i find my new favourite spot! staff were extremely attentive and lovely, couldn’t praise them enough - forgive me if the names aren’t correct, but the waitresses Lily and Esmé were the ultimate dynamic...

Came for a Sunday roast and was not disappointed. Our waitress Mia was amazing and so efficient. She was serving downstairs all on her own and did an amazing job all with a smile . Honestly she was fantastic. The food was delicious and cooked...

The service was great, amazing value for money aswell. The roasts were massive and delicious. The bar is good too.

Great food and atmosphere in the restaurant. Lovely staff all round. The evening was topped off by joining in the brilliant pub quiz!

Retirement party venue. Great venue, very helpful and good. Good service, beer, and food. Above average price but good.

A big shout out to Taylor who totally went way far and beyond in his duties to make sure we were looked after - we were preparing the night before for our friends funeral wake and he came and made sure we had drinks and...

Great service and wonderful food ! Steak cooked perfectly and no one came home hungry! Will definitely be returning.!.

Quite expensive for very average pub food. Sandwiches would be so much nicer if a quality bread was used instead of a budget medium sliced supermarket loaf. £7.50 for a small piece of mango & passion fruit cheesecake is a bit over the top, considering...

We used Bartons Mill to celebrate the passing of my partners Mum. We were warmly greeted and then shown to our secluded function area. It was a great area that allowed us to share stories, tales and anecdotes of the life that had passed. We...

The room is Super. But the meal I had in the pub ( v basic Fish and chips and curry sauce, as I don't like mushy peas) was awful. The fish was battered in shrapnel, very little fish, lots of batter, and the sauce seemed...

My husband and I had our wedding here on 27/7/23 and it was a truly amazing night. We went with an evening only event. So guests arriving from 16:30 and everything wrapped up by 23:00 and that was just the right amount of time to...

We recently stayed at Barton’s Mill for the evening. Fantastic service at dinner, the rooms were super clean and beds very comfortable. The next morning breakfast was delicious and service again- outstanding. Couldn’t recommend enough.

We booked this on a whim the day before and we're not expecting much but we were pleasantly surprised. The room was fabulous massive comfortable bed, decent shower and clean and quiet. The rooms are in a separate building across from the pub so we...

Ee decided to spend our wedding anniversary dinner there. We were sat in a very horrible table they keep next to the front door which we requested to change. Then after going theough the menu and deciding we were told NONE. Of our choices were...

A great little pub with rooms - feels like it is in a very rural area, yet is only a few minutes from Basingstoke. Rooms are in a building separate from the pub - very quiet. A beautifully clean and modern room and bathroom. Comfortable...

Where do I start with this. Wish I read the reviews before visiting. Staff don’t seem to know what they’re doing, had to ask for cutlery, and with reading reviews this isn’t the first time this has happened. 3 drinks forgotten and had to make...

Father's Day lunch with the family. A very average experience with everything being just about OK. Nothing really to complain about or get excited about. The big draw is the riverside garden that gets very busy with the obvious knock on affect on device. Worth...

The Queue needs sorting out you have a bar. Since Covid we have these continual queues stretching out of the door, one person behind another, with the start at the till point. A senior member of staff needs to say, come to the bar, we...

Beutiful setting the area is so nice & peaceful, really busy pub. the bartender at the bar was really friendly & was so helpful as I dairy free. they were very accomdating. The manager iwona came over & asked me how was our food which...

Came here for Sunday roast Lovely location and beautiful setting. All the food was lovely and the team were very friendly and attentive. Made our day we will totally be coming back. Keep up the great job everyone!

Stayed here for 1 night as part of a 3 day walk (The Camino Way). Reserved a table for dinner, arrived at our estimated time - late afternoon - hungry (having covered 15 miles on foot). Check in experience was poor - Manager taking care...

We were here for my god sons wedding . Was absolutely blown away by this venue and it's staff . Very friendly but professional staff could not do enough to make everyone's day special. Food was great the room and outdoor area were stunning. We...

Fae and her team were great. We were a family party of 38 of all ages. The food was lovely, chosen from the standard sunday menu. Prices were reasonable, and all very well organised.

I booked this for lunch to treat my friends visiting from London. I made a point of booking the dining room in advance aware it would be busy. Huge queue and told we were eating in bar and would have to go to back of...

Came to the Barton’s mill for a birthday dinner. On arrival looks like a nice pub/restaurant. I booked a table in the restaurant. Walked in and went to the bar, told the waitress I have booked a table to be told to sit anywhere in...

Booked a table for a meal for 4 people. When we arrived we were immediately told it’s been a busy day and we have run out of some things- this was 7pm and over half the menu was not available! This was extremely disappointing; the...

We visited the restaurant on Saturday evening at 7 pm . We waited at the bar for someone to seat us in the restaurant area and finally we taken to our table . We were then told that 6 of the main food items had...

We got married at Bartons Mill in April and it could not have been more perfect - Flo and her team were so helpful, both on the day and in the run up to the wedding; nothing was too much trouble and they really looked...

It’s a great shame that this restaurant doesn’t realise that When people go out to a restaurant for a meal… they do not expect to have other peoples muddy dirty dogs in the restaurant with them ….whilst trying to enjoy their food. Dogs should only...

Dear bartons mill I like to say what a great job you all do. Everytime we come down you are all so busy. We love seating by the river, which is a beautiful, and your chicken milanese is delicious. Can't wait to come by down...

Haven’t been here for years and the pub is set in a nice location and worth a visit in the summer time. The food wasn’t the best, but not the worst either. The pie filling was decent but soggy pastry. The mash wasn’t to good...

Had my wedding here beautiful venue, the 2 ladies that organised everything Flo and iwona were are delight to deal with. So professional and had great ideas to make the day even more special. Great team! Don’t understand half the reviews here.

Very disappointing food - both the burger and fish & chips were warm and the chips were clearly scraped from the very bottom of the frier. Nowhere near good enough for the relatively high prices. Staff were also aloof and indifferent. Would recommend the nearby...

Love the setting, very friendly and attentive staff, good selection of beer and best fish and chips I've ever had. Highly recommended.

Roasted free-range chicken supreme, white bean, bacon & Toulouse sausage cassoulet, tenderstem broccoli £15.95 When ordering this I expected chicken in or with a creamy sauce, with an accompaniment of a cassoulet containing pieces of bacon and sausage, and some broccoli. What I got was...

Lovely pub situated in the village of Old Basing. Relax in the outside beer garden and look out over the lovely river flowing past. Plenty of seating inside and even an open log fire to keep warm on those cold evenings. Friendly and welcoming staff...

My sister and I brought my mother for Mothering Sunday dinner when we arrived there was confusion on where we would be seated and then once seated we were told to make sure we had finished our meal and had left the table by 17:45...

I don't normally leave reviews anywhere so it has to be pretty bad to make me go out of my way to write a bad one! I don't normally write reviews as a 24 year old women so to take my time and write this...

I ordered roast beef £17.50… no horseradish sauce! Didn’t tell me till after I ordered.. very disappointed 😔 Like gin without the tonic.

We attended a birthday party & stayed the night. As a venue the size was perfect for the size of the group in attendance, albeit there could have been a few more chairs for sitting. A long night standing can be challenging. The bar service...

Good size bedroom, comfortable bed, great breakfast. The location is absolutely gorgeous, with plenty of places to walk. The staff were very friendly (including Christmas Elf on Christmas morning doe breakfast!). The day we checked out we had a problem with our car and they...

Really nice venue, but the service wasn’t great. Food was pretty basic for a Christmas set menu. Super affordable though. Would go back for a drink

We booked a restaurant reservation in February 2022 to attend Bartons Mill only to find that the restaurant had given us a table in the Bar which was not suitable. This was on Saturday 10th December and the Pub had handed this all over to...

Great place to eat was sitting next to a big open fire which was lovely as its so cold outside . Service is great and Iwona the Manger there was super as my booking of 40 people had so many last minute changes. Her team...

We stay here regularly for business and can’t rate it highly enough. Excellent accommodation, very comfortable, lovely decor & feels very homely. Iwona is always welcoming & nothing is too much trouble for her and all the staff! Thank you!

The food ws amazing, the location is stunning. The rooms are lovely and modern very clean. The staff are amazing and very attentive, I would highly recommend!

We come for a Christmas party each year with a large group and once again had a great visit this year. Food was tasty and served on time, and the staff were friendly and attentive to our party. We all had a fab time and...

We chose the venue as it offered the whole package, ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening disco. From the first meeting with Flo the Events Organiser, we were happy and confident that we were in good hands. A number of friends and family stayed over in...

We have been here a couple times and it has been so and so. The place is gorgeous with a lovely view of a lake and the restaurant is kept clean, which is a plus. I can't, however, get over their menu inconsistency. One time...

We were recommended to try Barton Mill by a family member. We weren't disappointed as we found it a lovely place to visit. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and welcoming. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. Will...

Decided on our way back home to Dorset, to break our journey for Sunday lunch at Bartons Mill. For starters I had the Thai style calamari and my wife had the Chestnut mushrooms on sourdough toast. Then we both had the beef Sunday Roast with...

Could not recommend the Barton’s mill enough! I hired the function room for an afternoon for a christening. From start to finish, the staff were amazing at helping to organise! I had great communication with Flo via email to arrange times, food and she was...

I moved here from another hotel because the first one was so atrocious. What a change! Lovely big clean room, great staff, great food, and a lovely evening meal - standard pub grub well done. It is a big place with lots of inside and...

A lovely evening with friends! Would recommend. Service was food, food delicious, and a lovely atmosphere.

We would like to thoroughly recommend Bartons Mill for your celebration event. We were looked after from first contact with the mill to the evening its self, so well. The venue was lovely with all the fairy lights, old beams and we were able to...

Fantastic pub & venue :) You'd think you were in the middle of nowhere but in fact only a few minutes dray from Basingstoke Town Centre

Recently thoroughly enjoyed a Wedding Reception held in the Upstairs Barn. Perfect location for stunning photographs taken in the surrounding countryside, and upstairs in the Old Barn, lovely setting. 3 course meal so well presented and most enjoyable. The actual Reception was made all the...

Hidden Gem What a super pub. Received a great welcome & friendly service from Mia. Thank you Had a decent meals of pie & mash , ham & egg. Both could have been hotter though. My only fault would be “ Please spend some money...

Food very disappointing at our last visit to Bartons Mill. Would love to see them change their menu occasionally. Nothing to write about very ordinary. But lovely setting. So nice venue for a drink in the sunshine.

We have USA family over for a family wedding and they were booked in for overnight stay plus we had a meal for 19 of us. Accommodation is great, clean, lovely rooms and pretty location. Iwona and her colleague served us for the meal, nothing...

Ordered 2 meals, one meal was done within 2 mins, great. The other about a 15min wait. The pizza had wayyyy too much thyme on! Large fish and chips was also very tiny!! On arrival nowhere clear to check in for my booking. When i...

Visited Barton’s mill as love the atmosphere. Live music was brilliant BBQ - advertised hog roast but was pulled pork in a bun. But the pulled pork was in lots of sauce/gravy and impossible to eat in a bun as just fell out. If it...

Attended a lovely wedding 20th August and stayed overnight in the accom in the nearby accommodation block. Lovely pub/gardens/surroundings. Spotless accommodation. Great staff on the day and very smoothly run. Superb food which was preordered and arrived at individual tables and served to each guest...

Good soup and quick service once ordered but cheeseboard never appeared (but refunded) and charged different prices for same roumd of drinks. 8.54 then 6.50ish. For two halves of pepsi max and small sparkling water. So kind of mixed review as the food was very...

Iv just stayed at this location and I have to say it was wonderful! I felt so relaxed and the receptionist Emma was amazing, couldn't do enough for us and what a wonderful attitude, a real credit to your company

Picked it by chance and was extra happy. The check in is inside the pub and the superior room is extra large, extra cute and extra clean, the bathroom also is very large and it looks recently remodeled. The rooms are on the ground floor...

Came to visit on Sunday for lunch - had a lovely time! The staff were obviously busy but working so hard to make up for this. Lunch was lovely and the service was incredible. Melissa especially was so accommodating to our needs and made sure...

Very disappointing, it’s a lovely setting and my local pub but the food and service has always been disappointing. We went for a drink this afternoon (a beautiful sunny day) and the tables outside were empty but filled with glasses and empty plates that hadn’t...

Went here with 2 friends. Felt the place was a little dirty. Location was lovely but the food was not very good. I never mind if venues run out of something as long as you are informed. I chose the panco breadcrumb portabelo mushroom with...

Do not have the belly pork. It came undercooked, big blobs of unrendered fat and soggy top. Hopeless. I can't remember how much I paid and menu's are not available online. About £16..rip off. When I complained, they asked me if I wanted a pudding!...

A whetherspoons pub sadly not somewhere I would eat at again. However beautiful rooms and breakfast good. The spec on the rooms was excellent although like previous reviews state the flood lights kept us awake shining into our room. The pub was one I would...

Very enjoyable visit. Delicious food and drink in a serene and beautiful setting. Also dog friendly which added to the charm.

Things have changed. Barton's Mill is now a popular busy pub for all the family, but alas is not fine dining. The food was well presented but unfortunately not the high quality end it use to be. You have to queue up to the bar...

Booked via booking.co. as I am working in the area. To say I'm dumbfounded is an understatement the Mill is simply enchanting. currently staying in room 8 which is a beautiful room complete with large bathroom huge shower and bath. we have also just eaten...

What a fantastic place to stay. All of the staff are so helpful and absolutely committed to make it a perfect stay. Special thanks to Iwona. We will be certainly returning to this hotel for sure.

I was able to have a 3 course meal completely gluten free. Portion sizes were generous and standard of food was excellent! The staff were very friendly and helpful 😊 the prices reflect on the food you are served and not over priced too

Great location by the canal, lovely walks and pub/resturant. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and parking. Good menu choice.

Ordered 2 x Sunday Lunch - Pork + Beef. No condiments offered when food given. Asked for Apple & Horseradish sauce. Girl pointed and said "over there". Nice selection of Tomato Sauce, Mayenaise & Vinegar. I asked at the bar and the girl finally brought...

Went there with a group of walkers for a meal and I had a lime juice and tap water to drink. They charged me £2.05 for it which I felt was a rip off. Place looked good before that, and I had thought of taking...

I visited the restaurant with my family on what appeared to be a quiet evening in the bar area. We had a few questions regarding some of the menu choices, however our waiter nervously laughed explaining he didn’t know the menu at all! I would’ve...
