We came to the hatch for a family celebration. There was plenty of parking. It was a busy place and perhaps a little cramped. But they served a good pint of Guinness Zero. The burgers were very good as was the pie and sea bass, the chicken was very large but a little dry and bland. For once, there was a good selection of vegan/allergy desserts that were enjoyed by all of our group. The vegan Bakewell tart was pleasant, with some very nice coconut vanilla ice cream.

Had Sunday roast and not worth the money at all. Will never go for a roast here again. Had the roast duo which is beef and pork. Well there was no pork at all, just 2 pieces of fat, no meat on there at all. Then a tiny slice of beef. My friend had the half chicken and she certainly got her moneys worth. So if you go for Sunday roast only order the chicken!! Thanks for response about the pork belly but it literally was fat and no meat at all. Hence my comment. For the price would have been nice to have more than a small slice of beef and 2 lots of fat that you couldn't eat. Unfortunately had much better elsewhere. But like I said the chicken looked huge and worth the value.

Our experience at The Hatch was great. We had chicken strips & crispy squid for starters which were great. We had the cheddar & bacon burger and the mixed grill for mains, they were amazing! The burger was a tasty burger, chunky patty and crispy bacon, and the jam all together tasted great. The mixed grill was arguably the best mixed grill I’ve had. Great size portions of steak and gammon, could do with a little more peppercorn sauce though. We both had the sticky toffee pudding for desert, it was rich and flavoursome. Lovely ending to a perfect 3 course meal. We were served by Bella, she was a star. Everything done right, and was attentive and patient. Will be recommending it to others and will make sure to come back again. 5 Stars, 10/10.

As a regular reviewer of pubs across the UK this is truly the first time I have been shocked by the attitude of pub staff & probably the Manager. On asking if anywhere to sit & get a drink, ( late Sunday afternoon) I was informed outside only where the temperature was 3 degrees! Absolutely no intention of trying to help, or interested in the custom! Shame on the business I will not return & a warning to others clearly food is king here!

When visiting my relatives in Basingstoke, I find the Hatch the best place for a good meal in good surroundings. It's very popular and worth booking in advance. Then there's still the problem of finding a parking space when you get there! The menu is varied and I have no difficulty in trying something new there, should I wish to. Meals are of very good quality and usually delicious. I've always found the staff here very friendly and totally efficient. The Hatch has beautiful gardens and outdoor seating should the weather be good enough. Highly recommended.

It's definitely an eating pub as opposed to a drinking pub Fully booked back to back on Sunday, it was very busy and noisy. Staff did their best and were kind and courteous. Most of the food was decent, my fish and chips was fine. The starter platter is very poor value for money. Roast dinners looked nice enough. Good, solid family fayre. I'd probably choose somewhere a bit less noisy next time though

We were thoroughly impressed with this local find. Unfortunately on a main road the venue does a fantastic menu of drinks and generous portions of food. We shared starters and loved the different dishes, although some came with four pieces others 3 which is always odd for sharing. Mains were at first glance expensive but worth the money as they are substantial. If you're not one with a big appetite perhaps skip starters. The real advantage was the service team. All so helpful and cheery. Thank you Aimee and your colleagues for making our evening so pleasant.

First time here for Birthday celebration. Food very mediocre. Had Chefs fish pie - hardly any fish, prawns still had part shells on them, peas were hard & cold & why serve a slice of bread with this dish???? The steaks were very poor tasteless & the salad consisted of mainly rocket & watercress. Been to other Chef & Brewer's before & never been disappointed.

We had the most delicious roast dinner and desserts, we'd go as far to say it felt as though it had been prepared with care and love. The service was impeccable and coffee hit the spot (rare for a pub) well worth a visit. Sarah who served us was truly lovely. Our per person price is based on food and several drinks. The food is well priced, as others have said drinks are on the higher end, but not unexpected for a decent pub.

I tried pre-booking a table online. If I were a party of two, it would provide me with a timeslot, but since I was going solo, it would ask me to look at an alternative date. So I ignored the online booking and popped down. I found the car park easily, but when I arrived around 7:45 pm, it was apparent it was busy inside. There were no markings, so people would park in some weird and wonderful spaces. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They offered me an eight-seater table, which I declined and asked if it was ok to eat outside. I felt bad taking a large table all to myself. The menu selection was great; I really liked the two or 3-course menu options. Ordering food was straightforward, and the person taking my order behind the bar was friendly. The only thing I might have liked to see was someone coming out to me to take my order, as I was very paranoid that someone would take my table whilst I was away placing my order. The food arrived pretty quickly, and it was tasty. This place is on my list to visit again in the future.

We’ve been many times to the Basingstoke branch this time ordered tropical juice as soon as I tasted it you could tell it had been heavily watered down when left to settle in the glass you could see nearly fifty mm of water in the bottom of the glass they must think were stupid. This dilution rip off has seemingly been reported many times and yet they still persist in mugging people off,had the Katsu curry for mains never again! Strange flavour very unusual compared to other katsu I have tried and the sauce had a strange consistency almost slimy. We begrudgingly paid the bill and left to go and have something to take the taste away real shame as the staff as usual were brilliant.I would think the orders to water the juice down comes from the faceless wonders above trying to save money by losing customers really logical that.
