Duck And Tipple in Basingstoke and Deane

I come to Duck and Tipple regularly with friends for their bottomless brunch and it is always so much fun. They have a ping pong table and multiple board games. The monthly quizzes are a lot of fun. Matt, Morgan and the team are brilliant and such a laugh! 2/3 times a year they host our work charity quiz and really put a lot of effort into staff having the best night. Their generosity means a lot and I would highly recommend coming here.

Really good quiz night, the loaded chips delicious, very friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Hughly recommend.

Had a fab eve at the quiz, had a excellent food and drinks - will be back soon

Just eat messed me around but the staff at duck & tipple Basingstoke were amazing gave my wife a free drink and the food was class

Amazing service, very nice people and management. Definitely somewhere I will be coming back to!!

Fantastic brunch, big shout out to Cole, cocktails were flowing!!!!

Food was good and so were the cocktails. Just let down by the very miserable barman

Good staff good food good Icarus

Fabulous service. We knew we wouldn't have long between our train arriving & a performance starting at The Haymarket but we had thought we'd have time for one of their boards. We had chosen in advance to speed up the process.... Then our train was delayed & we missed our connection & so our hour at Duck & Tipple shrank to 1/2 hour. I sent them an email to let them know we wouldn't be coming but Ellie phoned & said they'd have it all ready for us when we arrived. It was perfect & 1/2 hour was easily enough time to eat & have a drink. I really like the boards & the fact that there is so much choice. Thanks again for fabulous customer service.

A niche little bar within Basingstoke town centre

I booked for bottomless brunch and was really excited to go but when I arrived I was greeted extremely bluntly. As it turns out I was late as I had read the booking time wrong however, I had not created a fuss yet I was still greeted by who I assume was the manager in an extremely unwelcoming way. She did tell me I was in the wrong and I agreed and apologised but she appeared in a rush and didn't seem to care about me or even believe me that I could make a mistake. It was not the friendly customer service I expected to receive from a small business. I have previously enjoyed my time in the Andover branch but unfortunately the Basingstoke branch didn't have the same caring attitude. I'm sure the food and drinks are a good as the Andover branch but the customer service I recieved made me feel really unwlecomed. This is a shame.

Staff were so lovely, drinks were quick and food was great. Special shout out to Morgan who made our experience great, he seated us quickly and made sure we had a drink in hand straight away. Overall great experience!

Came when it was super quiet.. lacklustre service, overpriced mediocre burgers that read better on menu than the reality Overall - I’m sure it’s ok for cocktails or whatever but food is overpriced for what it is.. way better places around

Went on a Wednesday, which was really quiet but still really nice. Good food, friendly staff, good drinks. Definitely would go back again.

Cole was AMAAAAAZING! THANK YOU SO MUCH, WE HAD A DUCKING GOOD TIME!!!!!!! WOO WOO

It took a few minutes to find the very small entrance (look out for the board outside), but this upstairs bar is worth finding. Nice atmosphere (Friday night) and a friendly greeting. It seems that people book tables, which we hadn't, so we sat in a bit of an odd place near the door, but most of the seating and tables were nice. We only had drinks which were fine. Not a massive selection of beers but different from the normal run of the mill selection. Definitely somewhere to try, and ideal for a drink before the theatre, cinema or a meal out.

Such great value for money: the drinks were varied and the platters were generous and fresh. Had a relaxing, fun afternoon and would definitely recommend.

Fun atmosphere and very friendly vibe. Quick to get served. Had a good time with the games selection especially the table tennis table. Tried some cocktails from the extensive list. Will be back to try more!

Brilliant bar, lovely service and good beers on top. Enjoyed the games and table tennis. Would definitely go back - we had a great night.

Was here for a pals Birthday drinks and it was a top time. A really fun laid back atmosphere, friendly staff who treated you like family, and cracking drinks. A top time.

Absolutely cracking night. Great selection of beers in a convenient location, loved it and will be back again in a flash

I attended a bottomless brunch. We weren't told we'd be sharing our reserved table prior to arriving which would have been nice to know, we didn't know we'd be interrupted by a bingo that didn't actually follow the rules of bingo and the food was literally cheese and crackers. Other competitors have more substantial food such as pizza, thier cocktails are better decorated with cute accessories and the staff are much more welcoming. They seemed to have thier own rules that were very poorly communicated. It's the little things that make a good time and this was underwhelming. A friend of the staff was also allowed to bully my table into leaving early. Management was not receptive to concerns raised. We were hoping for a fun easy atmosphere which wasn't the case.

Myself and my friend attended duck and tipples Disney themed bottomless brunch today, having never been to one of the brunches before we weren’t sure what to expect but they completely went above and beyond our expectations. The whole event was so well run. All staff were so helpful and attentive and the effort put into the day was so amazing . Drinks were delicious and food was great . Such a great day will definitely be returning for the next one !

Really wanted to like this place! Felt like it had potential to be a great spot but was really disappointed. We waited a long time for our food and when it did come it wasn’t right. I got a cheese board that was served with strawberry jam instead of chill jam, the cheese we ordered was wrong along with the bread. The people I was with ordered chicken burger and chips and the chips were burnt. We also had to go and ask for the second coffee we ordered because they forgot it. The place had a good vibe and maybe we went on a bad day. Lots of potential but from my first experience not sure I’d return.

Was excited to try this place after a recommendation but was a bit disappointed. Service was very slow despite not visiting at a busy time. A few items on the cheese board were not as described- the chilli jam was just strawberry jam, the manchego was definitely not manchego and I think they used Wensleydale instead of the Stilton we asked for.

No food just drinks was a alright place

Wife and I have been visiting occasionally. Absolutely best place in Basingstoke for cocktails. Table tennis and board games just add to the quirkiness.

Definitely the best bottomless brunch I’ve been to, the cocktails were lovely and the board games and board of food were also great.

Amazing place, brilliant atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff, good food and extensive choice of cocktails. Just love it!

D&T is the best bar in town! The staff are fabulous, the drinks and food are next level! I’ve been coming to D&T for bottomless brunches for over a year now, and there really is no other place that can beat them! The attention to detail is impeccable- from all the staffs product knowledge and their friendliness right down to the music playing; creates the most amazing, welcoming atmosphere and adds to all the occasions!

We had dinner at Duck and Tipple and it was totally worth it. Thank you for the food, it was wonderful!!!?

Me and my girlfriend went here for late lunch/early dinner and had a lovely time. The food was quick and very well cooked. We had a caramelized onion camembert, a bean burger and the el jefe burger. exactly what we wanted. would highly recommend.

Incredible bottomless brunch!! It was great service and the margarita was a winner!

Cocktails are great but food was a disappointment, I have book and paid for food in advance for as I was going there with a group of 15 people. I had to ask for the food, which they had forgotten I had ordered . the food cost £104.80 for 2 large sharing platters which was ment to feed 16 people, to say it was a let down was under statement. there was just enough for 8 people we also ordered 4 sharing natchos which was just about enough for us all. when I questioned the amount of food I got told that's all you get, so I won't be rushing back

Great little place, nice staff and great food.

Lovely atmosphere and nice and friendly staff. Limited food menu but food was tasty and flavoursome and a good portion.

I absolutely love Duck and Tipple. I've visited for cocktails before a night out many times, but this weekend I finally had a bottomless brunch there and WOW!! Such good value for money with delicious cocktails and a great range of food boards. The staff were all super friendly and very patient when we had questions about the ingredients in all the drinks. Highly highly recommend

Amazing service, the only place in Basingstoke that doesn't skimp out on cocktails. If you want a great night out in Basingstoke don't miss this place

Great experience. Amazing service, and the only place in Basingstoke that doesn't skimp out on cocktails. A must visit when you are here

Went for bottomless brunch with friends, you could choose from a meat, cheese, mixed or vegan board. You could have as many cocktails as you want, they were nice and tasty, I had a very good time

Another excellent experience at the Duck & Tipple! From cocktails to craft beers they have something for everyone! Friendly staff who are always willing to help and the food is excellent. Would recommend to anyone!

First time visiting, but won't be the last! Super cosy and welcoming atmosphere, with a fantastic bubbly vibe throughout the venue. Staff were super polite and was great to have a chat with them. To top it all off, seeing them support a local brewery (Siren) was amazing to see! Definitely the place to grab a proper beer and play some games for an evening.

Favourite bar in Basingstoke, the best bottomless brunch with a great range of cocktails - staff are always really friendly and great at making all the different cocktails 😊

Been to the Duck and Tipple Basingstoke many times and I cannot fault the service. The staff are always friendly, there is a great atmosphere and the food and drinks and excellent with such a wide selection. Would recommend to anyone

I have been here many times in the last year and I can say it is my favourite bar in Basingstoke. Always feel welcome and the staff and friendly. With a great range of food and drinks, I would recommend to everyone.

Bottomless Brunch offer was really enjoyable- lots of cocktails on offer and great value for money. The duck and Tipple is really good venue for food, drinks or an evening out. Staff are friendly and always willing to help. Always a welcoming feel, board games...

Arrived at duck and tipple after a bottomless brunch in Basingstoke, and we were met by an unfriendly and quite frankly snobby attitude. When we arrived we were not greeted as expected as just normal people trying to have a good time. We were told that we basically may as well go because they had a brunch coming in shortly and service would be slower, despite this we decided to stay. Upon going to the bar ask asking what beer they had on draft the bar staff responded with “you better try it first because we don’t sell Wetherspoons beer in here and you might not like it” which is just downright degrading and no one should be spoken to like that especially by someone you’re trying to buy something off of. Honestly I would just go to spoons because it’s a much better atmosphere and doesn’t have the snotty and awful atmosphere that the duck and tipple has, which is quite frankly ridiculous for a pub in Basingstoke.

Great selection of cocktails and quick service. The only downside is that sound really carries making it hard to hear the person sat next to you! The place would certainly benefit from sound boards along the walls to flat the noise.

Tucked away upstairs down a side street, this was a good find! Two craft beers on keg (Siren brewery) and an interesting and short menu. The chicken Caesar burger was ace! The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was good, the beer was delicious....

Tucked away, but a real gem! Friendly and helpful staff, a couple of craft beers on keg (Siren brewery), a pile of board games, great place!

Great bouncer on the door welcomes you in, great staff make fantastic cocktails. They've got a ping pong table and lots of board games to play.

Not overly busy, but it took quite a while to get served. The bar staff weren't too knowledgeable on their cocktails, not knowing what was in one at all. Relatively small establishment and able to hold a conversation without shouting at the top of ones voice, which is nice, but enough background music/noise to help with an atmosphere. It does also boast a table tennis table to have a game on.

Visited with Friends before Christmas, and had a great time! Lots of Cocktails to choose from, and particularly enjoyed the Sharer drinks. Seats weren’t super comfy (wooden benches or metal stools), and service took a while due to a lack of staff working, but would...

Lovely staff and fit a big group of us in when they were busy

Hidden jem. Great atmosphere, cocktails and board games. What more could you ask for? I wish they did more offers on cocktails as it's easy (and expensive) to get carried away trying out all of their drinks! Great place to go.

I ordered a few drinks for our group, near closing time on 4th of Feb. One of these was a small red wine for my gf, where I was charged accidently for a LARGE glass. Paying by card, I didn't even notice. The bar tender gave absolutely excellent service when he checked the payment, noticed the mistake and pointed it straight out to me as I returned to the bar to pick up another drink, He apologised and poured us another large red to compensate. This was really honest, thoughtful, and the sort of customer service that guarantees that we'll be back! Thanks.

My review is not for the Basingstoke bar but for the newly opened one in Andover. It's a small venue however we had the best time! We were 2 couples and visited the day after the opening. We had a brilliant time. The cocktails flowed,...

It's not a good place for wine,

We went to this place on Friday night based on a friend’s recommendation and to our surprise it is one of the amazing places in Basingstoke to dine in . The cocktails and the food was amazing especially the El Jefe burger(if you love something spicy). The staff was amazing very friendly and lovely people. Would give it 5 stars definitely. And going to visit again soon

Excellent service and super friendly staff. Good food good prices. Very cosy places and good vibes to be around. They even had my name on my booked table, how cool was that!

Had a brilliant time here for birthday drinks yesterday. The food and cocktails included in the bottomless brunch were top notch. The staff and manager went above and beyond to make our afternoon a special one. Will definitely be back and look forward to the...

Good atmosphere, food and drink

Love the quirkiness of this bar and the staff are really helpful and friendly. The drinks are varied, if on the slightly higher price side, but there are some games available to play. Recommend the bottomless brunch or popping in for a few cocktails on a weekend.

Went for a works do. Had great sharing options and service at the bar was great

Went for Bottomless brunch with a friend today, the table we were assigned was split by a large square of plastic, which reminded me of prison glass. They said we could move to the other side to a high table and stools which was fine but a little uncomfortable. The rules of the brunch were explained so quickly it was impossible to take these in, I went to get my friend another drink and there was confusion and I ended up paying for another (this was later refunded), however I feel I was spoken to condescendingly and made to feel stupid for not quite understanding to process. If you go, make sure you bring the empty glass to the bar or you won’t be given another drink. Cheese and meat board was nice, nothing outstanding. The venue itself was gorgeous, really nice decor and good amount of space. Personally don’t feel it’s worth the money so wouldn’t return unfortunately.

A wonderful cool bar with fabulous cocktails and lovely sofas! Always a great evening here, original style, and welcoming staff.

We went for bottomless brunch. Hesitant at first as cocktails are sometimes slow. However, we successfully got very drunk in our two hour slot. Food was delicious and vibes were great. The staff were rushed off their feet but did an amazing job. The young...

Had a belated Birthday Bottomless brunch, I was a little put off by the bad reviews on here, but have to say I was pleasantly surprised, The drinks were really nice and had several options (Pornstar Martini was my favourite) and definitely was drunk by...

Really enjoyed my drinks and food and the ‘vibe’ of the place. My wife and I played connect 4 and other board games while we waited for the food and it was just generally a great vibe!

Went here for a date night with my partner. Good atmosphere overall. Good selection of drinks and food available. Would have preferred chairs with backs on them, but not a massive issue. Though we did leave before the quiz night started ( seems we picked the one night it happens a month to visit! ) as we were not too inclined to participate, much to the disappointment of the staff!

Fun bar/restaurant with board games and other activities available. Mocktails were possibly better than the real thing and the burgers were fantastic (I recommend the French one!)

We had booked a slot for 6-8pm They had no list for what was included in the bottomless cocktails for us to choose.. we were told to scan a box to see their menu, I have no issue with this but when we ordered some...

Popped in here for a couple of drinks with my wife on Saturday night. Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed it there and if we are ever back in Basingstoke it would be our first port of call! There was a really good...

QUACK QUACK CAN’T WAIT TO GO BACK! Absolutely phenomenal evening at the Duck and Tipple. I arrived at 8pm with my ex wife and daughter and we were greeted by the lovely Morgan. He let me stroke his beard, it was so soft and fluffy and felt like a duckling. He made us feel extremely welcome and demonstrated ducking good service, by hanging my coat and quack pack up for me. He kept waddling over to ensure our cocktails were shaken to perfection. Well, duck me! I had a brilliant evening and didn’t get home until the quack of dawn. Thank you to Morgan and the Duck and Tipple staff, I will be back soon. I feel like such a lucky duck. Kind regards, Jeremy

Bottomless brunch was excellent

This place has such a great atmosphere the staff are so friendly even the bouncer greets you with a friendly smile and has a chat. The cocktails are delicious and the bar itself has plenty of nice seating areas. Nice to visit day and night.

Had a great time, nice cocktails and relaxed atmosphere. Had so much fun on the ping pong table! Lots of games to play. I had never been here before, as I am not from Basingstoke. The music playing downstairs is initially what drew me in and ultimately lead me to step inside the venue. Stayed for the games and yummy cocktails. Super friendly security dude, but takes his job seriously as I was warned about my smash shots on the ping pong table because they’re so good no one can handle them. 10/10 top guy, awesome music as we were leaving as well. Might even pop back here again

Matthew and Morgan and staff at the Duck and Tipple are so welcoming and friendly. By far the best independent bar in Basingstoke, if you want good cocktails, atmosphere and food this is the place to come.

We visited this pub for an after dinner drink on a Friday night. We were greeted at the door by the security man who could not of been more welcoming and helpful. It is an interesting bar as it is a modern take on a...

We love coming here, it’s a great venue. If only the main bar played the music played in the entrance it’d be so much better.

Nice enough bar. Struggle to get a seat early in the evening, but then it seems to empty out early.

Friendly Staff and Excellent Cocktails with a game of Scrabble. What's not to love!

Fancy location, ideal for friends catching up having good time

Nice drinks, decently priced, nice atmosphere. However it markets itself as a nicer more intimate place to get a drink whereas in reality when my boyfriend and I went there it was so loud we couldn't hear each other speak. Saturday night though so not really the staff's fault.

Nice little find. Great proper cocktails (a little to easy to drink). Good quick service & buzzing atmosphere. Young vibe people having fun.

Something different. Good beers. Fun atmosphere. Very good time with friendly staff.

Ordered drinks at the bar, young lady served them and walked off without taking payment so we sat down and decided on our food order. I then went back up to the bar to order and was asked if I had paid for our drinks!...

I was due to watch a gig at The Haymarket and decided to have a couple of pre-gig scoops. All the staff were friendly and there were plenty of places to sit. I went back after the gig for a cheeky one as well.

Just been for bottomless brunch after having been here for the same previously about 2 years ago and have to say very disappointed compared to the last time, Cheese board was OK and cocktail choiceis varied but they aren't great, very small and bit low quality, staff were quite off and in general compared to last time which was 5 out of 5 this was absolutely 2 out of 5 won't bother again.

Great service right from the outset, accommodating for my booking on a busy Saturday, prompt service lovely food and cocktails

Really good place for drunks and food

Fantastic food. Fantastic service. Excellent value for money. As a group of 9 we had an amazing time.

Only popped in for a drink and unlikely to go back. Staff were quite disinterested and the cocktails were average at best. Not served as advertised in the menu and mostly overly sweet. Disappointed.

Couldn’t recommend this place anymore, bouncer is exception, very genuine and lovely Person (Kurtis with the tan” this place was super understanding and the security was lovely. Such a rare place to find somewhere like this. Kurtis is exceptional and couldn’t recommend anywhere more. He...

Such a fabulous few hours spend with friends, the cocktails were all made with fresh ingredient's from scratch and tasted amazing! The food boards were incredible with so much choice and food! The team were great fun even though run off their feet.

The guys that own this place absolutely made our visit today. They went above and beyond and it was the best bottomless brunch we’ve ever had, the cocktails were freshly made and LUSH. We had such a lush couple of hours, thank you Duck and...

Absolutely wonderful bottomless brunch - the team were rushed off their feet but kept up with the cocktail orders with good humour! Fantastic charcuterie boards and even better cocktails - thanks guys, will be back!
