Laarsens in Basingstoke and Deane

Wonderful staff always happy to help and service with a smile. A friendly and welcoming pub. Food is excellent

Gents toilets are shocking, filthy, smelly disrepair, sort it out

Watched an England game in here during the Euros, have to say the atmosphere and staff were awesome. It was a busy day so they also had a few security staff on, what a great set of people. A great place with a really friendly vibe.

Always go here for a lovely breakfast when we are in Basingstoke. Can get busy at times but the staff are really helpful and serve as quickly as they can.

Good pub with reasonable prices

It was our first time in there, but we'll definitely be coming back again.

Family met up here after funeral. The owner was so helpful. He put the football match on for us to watch and we had a great night. The owner was more than helpful organising taxis for us and kept checking up on us till they came. Lovely atmosphere in there.

Bar was ok but TVs are pretty old and need upgrading.

Brilliant pub,great staff ,an Phil the best landlord in England

Popped in for some lunch. Amazing value food and drink, friendly staff. Will definitely visit again when I. Basingstoke.

Good pub. Reasonable prices and lots of TV screens for the footy.

I used to visit this pub when shopping. However I think it must have new management. My wife and I went in, just us at the bar. the person behind the just ignored us. Only interested in serving the locals. Pouring drinks for people siting down. So if your not local your not welcome, you will not get served.

Visited purely to watch football with friends. Good food for the price. Like most pubs, toilets could do with an upgrade. More efficient hand driers. Bar service was excellent & very friendly

Really good atmosphere for the football. Beer is good. Good service, even when busy they seem to get to you quickly, and always polite, even when rushed. Seem to have professional bar staff which is not easy to always find. Good proper pub

Good pub for a Saturday watching Premier League. Could benefit from a slightly wider beer selection but always a safe bet and TVs everywhere. Visit often

Love this bar, do cent beer garden and decent crowd

when the pensioners eat there , its not Dementia its the Respect and VFM 9/10

Sports pub - can get a little bit noisy.. Ploughman'lunch is worth trying.

I have to give a massive 5 stars for the lady behind the bar when I visited on Monday 14th August. She was brilliant and treated me and my client a gentleman with learning difficulties, so well. Chatty and talking to my client rather than going through me which is quite often the case with alot of people in service industry sadly. My client had a wonderful time and wants to return another day. Thank you lady behind the bar you excelled in every way and made us feel right at home.

Live music great band. Helpful staff

First time we have been in here ,excellent meals, the service was a bit slow but the lady did come over and apologised ,would go back again.

The staff are so lovely, they make you feel so welcome, they are so friendly. The pub has a relaxing atmosphere. The food is amazing. it's reasonably priced. I loved the cocktails, pina coloda & sex on the beach were very tasty. They were also reasonably priced too. Great place, 5 stars. XXX

Good night out, bar staff friendly Great live band playing as well, so good atmosphere for a night out with friends

Excellent pub Excellent food Excellent staff Excellent prices

Great food at good prices and friendly staff

Couldn't fault it. Nice seating, good beers, pleasant staff

Great food at unbeatable prices! Nice atmospheric little pub.

We pop into here for breakfast now and again, and having eaten breakfasts in various places all over the town, Larsen's is the best. The only reason we don't go as often as we'd like is because we are usually in and back out of town before the pub opens, but on the occasions we go in later then we'll make a beeline for here. Cleanest breakfast, large portions, very good value for money, and the staff are always lovely.

Very friendly bar staff, very tidy place

Lovely food, great value for money and fast service. They do a range of sandwiches, paninis and jacket potatos among other things! So glad we found this place. Will definitely return again.

Good pub, good food, good service

Poor. Friday, 7pm...10 people, cold...

Good place to watch sport, reasonably priced and great bar staff.

Traditional pub that provides a great menu, a wide range of beers and spirits and they show a wide range of live sports. Also have an outside area with a large screen. The management and staff are friendly, professional and overall Laarsens is well worth a visit.

Really lovely place to relax and catch up with friends and family. Great food with large portions, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere and ambiance.

Lovely food, the chilli beef was hot both heat and with chilli heat.

Very friendly pub. Food excellent, have had breakfast here which was very good, and was piping hot. Have also had lunch here consisting of cheese and beans jacket potato and side salad, and again the food was piping hot and excellent. Mondays to Fridays they do an OAP's special of 25%off so even better. Is worth a visit.

Great pub/bar with a decent selection of beers and lagers. Live music nights are especially good fun when people are up dancing and enjoying themselves.

Great atmosphere, great service and there was a good band on but they got the hump because the football was on when they were playing. They stopped playing and said would play once the football was over; so we left. Such a shame; sack the band.

Good little pub. Great for watching sports. Drinks prices were very reasonable.

Great pub for watching football, + good beer 🍺

Have visited a couple of times on Saturday evenings when there has been live music. Great friendly atmosphere, definitely recommend.

Very friendly and obliging staff. Watched rugby , ate delicious food. Great experience

Great location and you can sit in the back garden 🍺🍺

Really nice bar and not too expensive. Really enjoyed my night there.

Always made welcome. Great service.Good good. Lovely staff xxx

A lovely little pub 😀 great food and cheap prices along with friendly staff and fast service. It is really beautiful and elegant inside with photos showing its long history and how it yoused to look like. It has segregated seating areas for dining or for privacy and a main area for the bar with round tables for drinking only. They also have a really big pub garden 🙂

Nice friendly atmosphere at laarsens,what you want from a pub

Good night, went there with the band full flavour, crowd enjoyed the night.

Good to watch sport, probably best sports bar in town. Ok range of drinks but would like to see more "premium" lagers and ale on tap too.

Nothing wrong with the pub but the atmosphere was dead, went out for the Liverpool v Man City game, could not believe how quiet it was in town!

The chilli alone is worth going for. Otherwise, the football and live bands bring people in. Live music is the first and last Saturday of every month

Polite bar staff, very good number of screens and friendly punters, especially the Liverpool supporters! ;-)

Not been in here for years. Good atmosphere.

Great atmosphere. Great for sport. Good choice of drinks from a good pint to a cocktail. Love it!

There is nothing worse than walking into a pub where you know no one. All eyes on you by untrusted regulars....Well not here, went in to met up with a hen do that were already making their presents known, but the staff weren't fazed at all joking along with the slightly annoying bride 😄 and everyone was so nice and welcoming. The relaxed, friendly atmosphere portrayed by the staff clearly reflected throughout the pub and if I lived closer I'd definitely return

Very clean Friendly staff Guinness and lager was excellent Can get busy at times but plenty of room

Just a really chilled out , good vibe pub in the middle of town.

Really good night, great live band.

Great night watching the football 😎

Great beer fantastic bar staff!! Food good too

Friendly staff and great music tonight.

Great prices and live music , danced the night away .

I paid 140 kr for 5 scoops of ice cream because I ordered them in 5 paper cups. If I had ordered 5 balls in a cup I would have paid 60 crowns. The very last thing, never again!!!! fat --

Brilliant atmosphere for the football and great pints

The staff are friendly and the food is good

Nice value ploughman's and jacket potato lunchtime offerings. Venue name is an anagram of a famous London football club

The service is brilliant and a very friendly place to eat and drink. I would choose this place more than I would a chain pub anytime I wanted to have a evening out

Just had a lunchtime drink, staff very polite,(table service) and as we walked out a staff member cleaned our table, couldn't ask for more. Recommended.

Best all day breakfast in town for only £3.75.

Excellent food good drinks brilliant atmosphere

Service wasn't very good. Totally ignored as two young ladies came in and barman was more interested in them than doing his job

Very quite no atmosphere food was good and cheap

Covid safe, as long as everyone follows the arrows! Service is good via the app if you have it or by the bar staff coming to the table.

Extremely well laid out and organised to cope with the Covid 19 situation. Friendly staff, a clean environment and popular outdoor area. Great for sport lovers, with a host of screens to view showing the days selection; an enjoyable afternoon experience!

Visited multiple times and the staff are always miserable and unfriendly, and roll their eyes when you order anything other than draught. The bouncers are too uptight and controlling.

Good service and strict with Vivid regs, well done

Lovely staff and friendly, garden could do with allan titchmarsh's green fingers and some new furniture but beside this I enjoy my visits there.

Decent sports bar, tasty Guinness

Great atmosphere, only stopped in for a quick pint but will definitely go back to try the food.

Always friendly and great and helpful staff

Popular sports and music venue in town centre

Lots of screens to watch the footy

Definitely a blokes boozer. It's basically a sports bar with TVs all around the place. There's an outside seating area but it's more of a smoking patio area. It's just possible that it'll never make The Good Pub Guide although it may well have a few references in Pub Watch. Not a bad place to come if you're in the mood for a punch-up. Can get very busy.... somehow.

Belly busting breakfast for £7.50 in the heart of the town

Bit rough and ready... A guy smashed his phone against a wall whilst we were there... Left us a bit stunned

Very friendly pub good food choice, a group of us go there every month for our lunch great place

Great music spot in the heart of Basingstoke

Good food, nice staff, not too expensive.

Always a pleasant bar to watch the footy in!

We were the only 2 people in the pub on a saturday night. No atmosphere.

Great pub, friendly staff. Been using this place for years now.

Not my fave place to go. To loud to much uncomfortable seating.

Great pub for watching the footy, always a game on and decent selection of beer. Like an old fashioned spot and sawdust place without the spit and sawdust

Good bar for sports TV with a great selection of beers and lagers

One word, one person... Edd....

Qwnt for the soul night ,great atmosphere

Good bar. Warm welcome. Good sized outside area to smoke, some of which is covered. TVs everywhere inside.

We took a chance on breakfast and wasn't disappointed full English came to the table quick and was better than weather spoons and Poppins it was Saturday so ended up staying for a couple of pints and watching the football aswell 😉

I tried going in at 12am but got turned away cus bouncer said there were closing. OK I won't be coming back anyway. Close for all I care. Good bye.
