Fox & Hounds in Basingstoke and Deane

In for late drinks and always made to feel welcome by the staff... But then we're not the type to cause trouble. It's a friendly pub, the food isn't too notch cuisine but is overall pretty good... Sometimes a little stingy on the chips with a burger.

Arrived and was ignored by the person behind the bar. Glared at by men with beers watching a repeated football game (Tuesday lunchtime) that was showing on all the screens. Baby highchairs, children’s menu, no baby changing facilities…. We left.

Lovely cozy pub in a small town. We stumbled upon it while on a drive. Excellent food at very reasonable prices. Substitutions are allowed in food items. Great deals too. Ample parking.

Amazing experience, bar staff and time. Atmosphere is great! Great variety of drinks behind the bar and non-alcoholic selections.

Food was top notch, karaoke was a lot of fun, beer was very nice

Very good food and very good bar staff

We popped in for a bite to eat at lunch time and I have to be honest, I wish we had gone somewhere else. My wine was warm. It was almost unbearably loud. The food we ordered took over 50 mins to arrive with no apology. My husbands mixed grill was overcooked, dry and the steak was inedible. My biggest complaint was the "salt and pepper chilli chicken". It was advertised as Breaded chicken with a salt, pepper and chilli spice mix, roasted onions and peppers and a herb dressing with a pot of Katsu curry sauce. What arrived was plain breaded chicken goujons, undercooked chips and a scattering of fried onions. No salt, pepper, seasoning or red peppers and nothing like what was advertised. Thoroughly disappointed and won't be going again.

Popped in with my mother for a lovely pub style steak ciabatta.. well got a lovely bit of steak with a plastic bag melted onto it (fake American cheese). Where was the lovely cheddar? The red onion chutney? Katie Prices baps have seen more butter than that ciabatta.. don't even get me started on the side salad.. saw a couple snails hanging on the plant pot next to me watering at the mouth. If you order here.. I hope you like rocket and ummm only rocket all by itself! Fire the chef or send him to culinary school.. not the pub grub I was looking for 😘 Such a shame because the venue and atmosphere were stunning. The food let it down massively!

Very friendly , and clean . Made to feel very welcome. Thankyou 😊

New ownership good food & real ale selection live sport. New Team are very good, really good service.

Super lunch, thank you. Great service (thank you Shannon), lovely food and great environment with old buildings and huge party barn. We will be back!

Nice food and friendly atmosphere

Food was bang average, service was poor, girl on shift was abrupt, borderline rude, and we felt complaining would’ve made things worse, bloke behind the bar was pleasant enough but with no real reason to return. Better staff needed

Great find! Lovely pub, fantastic food, friendly staff and affordable prices. Had a lovely meal with young children who were catered for.

Nice food and polite staff but just over an hour wait for food on what was not an overly busy day

Friendly, professional and polite service. Very caring staff. We felt very welcome. No complaints about the food, cleaned the plates! The cheesy garlic bread is really lovely! The pub is clean too! Didn’t use the toilets, so cannot comment on them. Would return and recommend. Good choice on gluten free food too!

average green king pub food and drinks are ok. Service quite slow.

We had a fantastic meal Thursday night. Excellent customer service and the food was fresh and delicious. The gluten free menu was extensive and available on the table.

We have been near this pub many times, but decided to go in wish we had done it sooner. Lovely lady behind the bar very helpful. Went to our table gave table number then gave the order. The wait was well worth it. Really tasty and plenty of it. Will be back

Very friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere. Was busy and everyone seemed to be friendly.

A great pub with a good beer and ale selection, delicious food and lovely staff. Will definitely be returning to try more of the limited edition burgers!

Had. Lovely evening drink with friend Shame about the flying ants lol 😆 Great atmosphere and friendly staff

Came to watch football the other day and have some food and drinks with friends. When looking at the menu I could be there for ages salivating before even ordering. So many nice things to choose from. Once food arrived it was extremely tasty and very pleasing on the eye. Service was very quick and the staff were lovely and friendly. Atmosphere was good and a nice busy pub for the area which is not always the way these days with the current cost of living crisis. Will be back again on Tuesday for more football and also to try some more food out. Looking forward to the occasion. 5 out of 5 for me.

Had a Family Meal this lunchtime, everyone was impressed with the quality of the food. Staff very professional and courteous. I had the American Burger, best one I have ever tasted. Will be back 👍

The starter chicken taco was amazing I loved the hot ipa sauce so much I'm buying some for home it's a fantastic pub for beer and food I highly recommend this pub. Plus they are showing all the euro football matches..

We had a lovely afternoon Saturday 18th, celebrating a joint birthday, The food was brilliant, and the friendly staff, did everything to make it special, thank you Jacob and the team xx

Food alway nice and very friendly environment

Visited with a few friends for drinks. Bar staff were really welcoming and friendly. Definitely be coming back again to try the food.

Spot on. The staff are great (especially Kerry and Grace), the sport is on, and the service is fantastic. I'm pretty sure the new menu will be as good as the old one!

Much fun had with karoke, bite of food before hand was top notch

Me and hubby stopped off and grabbed a meal together. Highly recommend the Katsu curry, me and hubby both had this and it was absolutely delicious and a huge portion too! Nicely presented and the staff were lovely and helpful as well.

My boys LOVE the burgers here! The staff are always on point and make an effort to make them feel special. Can't wait to bring them again!

Dropped by to meet with friends for lunch and the food was fantastic. Spotlessly clean, fantastic staff and really welcoming and friendly. Would recommend this place 100%

Great staff, really friendly. Good selection of drinks and brilliant service, great atmosphere and food. Will definitely be back!

Loved the proper short crust pastry pie

Excellent value for money. Great Sunday lunch, roast beef with all the trimmings. Friendly attentive staff but not pushy.

Went to see if it was family orientated .with the idea of taking our daughter her children and a few other families there after a football tournament. But it's obviously a pub the lads go to and the language that I heard wasn't good for children .I'm by far a prude as I've done bar work and been in that sort of atmosphere. Shame really as it looked a nice pub ..won't be going back .

Service very slow. Used the app to order a pint. Had to go back to bar to chase it, some issue or other with notifications. Decor very tired. Food not the best I've had in a Greene King Pub. Not my usual experience of a Greene King. Very disappointed. Won't be calling again.

Today (as every time we’ve been) the food was exceptional quality, the service was speedy and the waitress/server was jolly and friendly, would recommend every time

Thoroughly enjoyable lunch with family. Great food, pleasant staff and relaxed atmosphere. Easy parking. Many thanks.

It's a Lads pub. Football and colourful language. Beer lines need cleaning. You can smell the oil from the fryers in the carpark, which puts you off eating. It did us.

Been coming here for years. GREAT drinks selection, food looks great.!!

Second time I've been to this pub and both times it was a great experience. Friendly staff great food well worth it. Not usually a pub person but will continue to go here.

The staff were great the atmosphere was pleasant enough said food was good and decent priced all in all just a nice pub to visit

The staff are really great and friendly and are very helpful as well

We had a absolutely delicious Sunday roast lunch for mother's day. I had the roast beef and it was pretty much perfect. Probably the best roast beef I have ever had. You just have to go to try it.

Went there for a few drinks and a bite to eat got a warm welcome food was great too will definitely be going back

We saw the reviews and thought ‘This’ll be a nice place for a meal on our short break.’ We walked in the door and were greeted by a scene from Deliverance; but we stayed!! What a bad move that was. ‘You ain’t from around these parts, are ye’ was very much the vibe, from the foam bursting out of the aged leatherette chairs, to the groped teenage girls and their parents, and the steak - how on earth they managed to infuse it with essence of cheesy feet will be forever a wonder in my mind. The dartboard was so old and manky even our darts refused to embed themselves; preferring the stone floor instead. We considered we’d been polite enough (very British), ‘’ow woz erze stake mister?” ‘Oh, yes, erm, really tasty, yes, thank you. Thank you very much!” The following day however, even my stomach voided violently, repeatedly in a dirty protest at the horror done to it. Never again, god help us. NEVER. AGAIN!

We went for an afternoon out to watch sports and it’s was really good atmosphere we also ordered some of the small plates off the menu they were really good

Had a great afternoon we went for sports and was a great atmosphere we also order some food on small plates menu which were really good would definitely recommend

Great pub, great staff, tasty food 😋 Yet again the Fox and Hounds delivered. Eaten here several times and never fails to disappoint. Fantastic value for money. Great staff and welcoming. Mix of regulars and passing trade make this a great all rounder. Will be visiting again soon. Well done guys.

Went for a meal to celebrate my grandsons 18th before his huge party! The food was delicious, friendly, polite staff, clean and tidy, we had a great time! Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Absolutely disgusting! Nothing special and nothing worse when there is no control of their customers. To have homophobic comments made and no intentions of staff sorting it out. I will not be returning!!! Please avoid at all costs!

Great pub great atmosphere food is really nice and good price, they do a deal on food as well. Staff and really friendly, they always have the footy on. All the condiments are Heinz and in bottles not sachets which is a bonus because sachets are annoying, service always comes with a smile off Ceri the bar lady.

Went for food and few drinks and amazing staff, clean glasses. Great atmosphere. Staff were very helpful Well priced food and drinks

Pub is great, lots of bandits to gamble on, all bar staff are polite and great people. It’s a great social pub. We come most days after work and food is lovely, tried mostly everything and it’s always piping hot and very tasteful. Glades are always clean and great garden area for the summer. One of the better pubs I’ve been in down here in Tadley.

Came up with family for some food and to watch some sports really nice pub food was cooked to perfection and staff was very professional would highly recommend this pub definitely will be coming here again

very good food all staff was very kind i recommend to anyone going to tadley to go to this pub!!!!!!

Came for a family meal, food was great! Would recommend

Much Harder to find on a virtual walkabout than you'd think. Very quant and cozy place. Wifi could be better, but the atmosphere and the company are grand.

We travelled up to meet my daughter and son in law..as always service was amazing Staff were extremely friendly . Food was delicious. Beer was fresh. A really lovely place. Always recommend

it was very busy and loud. Service wasn't good - seemed understaffed

Just had a Works Christmas Meal here for 19 people (1st December) and it was an absolutely fantastic service. Kerry served us all night our food and drinks, she was incredible, really kept on top of drinks, clearing empty glasses and brought our food out very quickly considering there was so many of us. The food was fantastic, we ate from the Christmas Menu and it really did taste amazing! I had the BBQ chicken strips, Christmas Dinner and Brownie and I can’t fault any of it at all, it all came out hot too which was great. Everyone commented how good the food was and we all had a fantastic evening! The tables were decorated lovely and festive and had Christmas crackers, Santa hats and reindeer headbands which was a great touch and everyone enjoyed wearing them. Drinks from the barman came out very fast too so shout out to him (sorry I forgot his name). All in all we had a great night and will definitely be back. Thanks Again, Chloe

Fab nothing to much trouble great staff food very tasty we come often always good quality and relaxed atmosphere

The young girl behind the bar was absolutely welcoming and good service very good staff would defo be going back as it was beautiful service x

Thought we would support local business and tried to go for lunch. We had tried to book online and by phone without success, Turned up and when we said there would be 10 of us was told they couldn’t do it. Was really rude and we were made to feel very unwelcome. Then said we could eat but would take an hour and a half. A friend then tried to book food and was told to come back when we had a table number. The barman was extremely rude and very unhelpful. Would certainly not return. Shame as was looking for a venue for Christmas meal. The pub wasn’t even busy.

Great craic, good food and nice staff especially Grace. Also parking and a beer garden 👍

Very crowded and loud. Food was very poor. Ordered salad and it came without a salad 😔

My daughter and I went in for lunch today and we were made most welcome 😃 the food was a really good and good sized portions. The children menu had plenty to offer and a good meal deal too! Thank you to the two Grace’s behind the bar who really did make my little girls day by looking after us so well 😃 will bringing the rest of the family with us next time 👍🏻

Great local pub. Get the Katsu curry. Its amazing

Ordered 3 dishes for 13.00 and the food was really nice well worth the money and very filling. Service was great and friendly. Very friendly atmosphere pub.

Ive been here a couple of times now and always have a great time. Good pub food and decent service. The vibe later in the evening is great, music and dancing ! Great for a village local !

Gone down to the pub staff are mint food was good enjoyed my time here

Great Manager, great pint & friendly staff!

great service 10/10 great potatoes

Great pub great staff. Very friendly atmosphere

Amazing atmosphere & amazing food!!!! Best pub I’ve visited in years! Great events & family friendly too! Love it!

Was served ok but whilst I was eating there was a female member of staff shouting and swearing at a customer because he asked to be served and it was really distracting so won’t be back again as the unprofessional service from the staff here

Took my daughter here for her bday today. First they had no ice, then no glasses, no cold bottled cider. Ordered our meals and told they had no onion rings ( not an issue for us). Meals finally arrived with no salad and there should have been salad on the plates. No Tartar sauce with the scampi. I have no idea why they cannot get it right in this pub. We have given them so many chances to improve. The excuse was the delivery didn't arrive yesterday. No excuse as far as I'm concerned. Sainsburys is directly opposite. We did complain and got a meal off our bill. I would much rather have had a nice meal with our daughter for her bday. I have tried to email you as requested but it isn't going through

Good beer fair price clean and safe food reasonably priced

Clean, friendly pub with a varied menu and friendly, helpful staff We chose from the Seniors menu and selected 2 courses for £6.99. All food was piping hot and tasty 😋

Our local pub and we love coming some weekends as a family!! The pub has deffo improved loads the past year and it’s a lovely chill evening in the garden! Even with the kid 🫶🏻

I drink at this pub regularly, staff are amazing and atmosphere is great.

Despite the pub being so busy due to the beautiful hot weather both Martin and Jasmine serving were excellent keeping a smile on their faces and so polite even when some of the customers were obviously hot and bothered and rude at times . Great service .

We dropped in for a bit of lunch and were pleasantly surprised. The pub is roomy with a good-sized seating area outside. We opted for the pensioners deal, which was plenty for us and only £6.99 for 2 courses. Friendly atmosphere and staff 🤗

Love this pub staff are always friendly and helpful

Local pub, good outside space including some seating under cover. Food is basic but always plenty of it

Great friendly staff, Kerrie, Marie Rachel, dyan, very professional, love going there. Have a daughter with special needs couldn't be more helpful..

Great pub, atmosphere, food and super friendly staff.

got 2 kids burgers chips and veg took an hour to come and it was cold had 5 chips on each plate beans was cold corn on the cob looked like it was mouldy and looks like someone took a bite out of it !!!!

First visit to the Fox and Hounds to meet old friends A great pub and atmosphere. Marie the landlady made me so welcome whilst I waited for my friends to arrive. Thanks to Marie and the team, we had a great evening. Recommend the Mango and Lime Chicken Tacos.

Brilliant staff and service, landlady was brilliant as always. Food was amazing too. Will definitely be back again

Lovely pub that caters for all needs. I brought my 20month old daughter who has a severe allergy to dairy. Previous restraints and pubs have given her reactions, whereas the fox and hounds was excellent at making sure her allergy needs were met whilst maintaining excellent food standards.

Good sports pub. Decent food. Staff are friendly.

Great pub. Friendly staff. Amazing food.

We’ve been here twice with the family as a group of 7 and 9 over last 2 months and must say the foods been excellent the service has been unreal on both occasions the overall experience is something I’d be very proud of being the manager and staff thank you very much

Lovely food, varied choice on the menu, friendly atmosphere, prompt service. We had a selection of sharers/starters. All delicious. Will definitely return. Its a thumbs up from us 👍👍

Great place to take a break during the day. As well as to relax after work.

Very happy with service, staff food quality and value. Online it said no time slots available but after a phone call they happily made us welcome

We come here frequently as a family of three. We always have food and drinks. The food is consistently delicious and the drinks cold. Service is great, especially from the guy who I think is the assistant manager. Would highly recommend as a friendly family pub in the afternoon and looking forward to family day
