Overton Gallery in Basingstoke and Deane

this place is amazing! the people who work here are amazing! the food is fantastic, I shop here all the time. love the uniqueness of the shop, the jewellery is fantastic and they make you feel like family. Well worth the visit 100/10 I'm a regular a reason. if your in overton you have to come here!

Had an absolutely incredible lunch today when I visited with a friend. I had an avocado salad which was so fresh and beautifully put together with a lovely dressing. We enjoyed a glass of rose which was ice cold and served up in a beautiful glass and then we had some cake which was perfection. A real afternoon treat!

visited for morning coffee. Very cute and comfortable. Its busy tea room but the service was great. Enjoyed the garden

My first visit on a very hot Friday morning. Sat outside in lovely shady courtyard (with handy loo). Really friendly service, great cappuccino & delicious lemon drizzle cake. A smashing, peaceful spot.

Don’t bother visiting with a young child as you are likely to receive unsolicited judgemental parenting ‘advice’, they are not child friendly. I would have visited again on my own another time to have a proper look around as the shop looks interesting and has lovely trinkets for birthday/Christmas presents if it wasn’t for being made to feel so unwelcome as I had my child with me.

Phoned for a quote on 3 posters I have had a while and decided to get the 3 of them framed popped in to see Richard I was made to feel very welcome and all staff are so friendly and helpful told 3 weeks for the framing to be done it was done in 2 weeks. My wife and I went to get them Exellent job look great thank you for time spent framing them for me, also helped me to the car with them great service thank you , Paul

After a walk by the river, we bought some coffee to takeaway from this shop. Without doubt, some of the nicest coffee I have ever tasted, quite remarkable. Good value too. Use this shop, far too good to lose.

Cannot get enough of this brilliant courtyard retreat. The food is deliciously homemade, do try the Overton Applecake with whipped cream with cafetière coffee. There are always specials on the board which tempt you to try them all. Husband and wife team are such nice people. Added bonus there is an outside heater for these less than warm Autumn days. Sausage sandwiches Saturday’s.

Love, love,love this place for many, many reasons not least of all for the ever friendly and warm welcome you always receive from the owners Richard and Zoe. Whilst they have sadly had to close the shop and tea rooms temporarily during the Government enforced lockdown they are offering takeaway cakes, coffees, Judes ice cream etc. More importantly on Saturdays their legendary Sausage Sarnies are also available! The shop will re-open on 16th June with social distancing measures in place and I really hope they will be able to open the tea shop and their stunning patio garden very soon too! It really won’t be summer without a coffee and a bite to eat on that patio! In the meantime they now have an online shop on their website too. Take a look they never fail to have that special gift - even for the person who has everything! Overton Gallery rocks and if you are in the vicinity take a detour to their door...trust me you really won’t be disappointed!

Lovely shop on the high street not only does tasty food but fab homemade cakes and the most amazing scones 😍 also licensed to serve wine 🍷 The gallery’s framing is exceptional! Zoe also has the most amazing taste in gifts jewellery art and clothes👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻it’s a definite must to visit you won’t be disappointed 🤩

We live in the next village and often walk (5.5 miles) or cycle and pop in for a coffee or if it’s Saturday then it has to be the famous sausage sandwich !!!!! when i say sandwich this really is a proper sandwich ......not a slice of cut name brand bread in sight ......bread from the local bakery cut like a door step and butchers sausage!!!! Just AMAZING ...lovely cafetière of coffee ..Family run and VERY friendly ....spotlessly clean and a very novel outside toilet with plenty to read on the walls .You can buy some very unusual good quality gifts too ..

A quick stop on our way home from a week in sunny Dorset. We enjoyed sitting out in the beautiful garden having lunch. The food was very good. We enjoyed the soup, toasties and pate. A bill of £60 was reasonable for six adults and two children. Well worth a visit and a mooch around the lovely gift shop.

Great to sit in the garden relaxing having a bite to eat. Very friendly staff and table service. Having a look around after the meal at all the nice things in the shop is always a bonus.

Overton Gallery is the perfect place to go if you want to shop for extra special gifts. Great selection of items to suit all ages. The coffee is great and if you go you must try their scones! Simply the best. My daughter especially loves their lemon drizzle cake. Lovely inside and outside seating. Always a friendly welcome from all of the staff. This gorgeous shop has a wonderful vibe to it and it’s a pleasure to go there.

We are regular visitors to this great place for gifts, cards, friendly service, coffees and food - the sausage sandwiches (available on Saturdays only) are fantastic! On a sunny day there is outside seating in the garden. Today we collected a watercolour that they had re-framed for us. It’s over 80 years old and when we originally took it in to discuss options they suggested we had it cleaned and we agreed - what a super job - the picture has really come to life - colours have appeared that originally were not there. Great advice given on the choice of frame (it’s perfect) and we are so, so pleased with the end result. The picture has always been very special to me for many, many reasons and now I have fallen in love with it all over again. Would highly recommend their framing service. Thank you so much!

We had four different lunches and each was very tasty. The cafe is cosy with a simple but effective menu of sandwiches, salads and of course cake. Staff attentive and provided prompt service.

The shop is like a Treasure Trove with so many lovely things - a perfect place to buy gifts. I had a very tasty slice of coffee cake and a generous Coffee for One in a cafetière. The customers next to my table had a very delicious looking apple pie or cake with cream. This was a ‘recce’ visit and as I’d said to the owner, I had intended to make a swift return visit, this time with company. My return visit has had to be postponed but I look forward to trying the apple pie/cake when I’m next in Overton.

Called in to this delightful shop/cafe while attending an event in the area. We had read great reviews online and we were not disappointed! Wonderful little cafe with gorgeous flower filled courtyard and friendly staff! Great coffee/sandwiches/cakes - so good in fact that we made a return visit the next day in order to try their famous Saturday Sausage Sandwich which was superb! Charming little shop too selling gifts cards and artwork! We’ll definitely call in again if we’re in the area! Thanks guys!

This shop is a wonder of hidden gems it sells lovely gifts and cards that you will not find in any other gift shop in the area, also the coffee shop is a very friendly place where you can meet up with old friends.

By yourself, a couple of friends, a group or family you’ll always be welcomed by Zoe, Richard and their staff and well looked after. The food is delicious, much of it is homemade and sourced locally.

Pop in after long cold walk, had light lunch, which in a fire lit environment made it very cosey. Lovely friendly staff.

Lovely friendly place. Pre-ordered take away and collect it when suited me. Love the sausage sandwiches on a saturday. Fab thanks

Accidentally came across this cafe Lovely ....... really nice people who run it and Richard makes a very nice Late Definitely give it a try :0)

After a very very busy day in the car stuck in traffic jams we decided to call into the Overton Gallery for some much needed refreshment, as usual we were warmly welcomed by Richard, Zoe and Freddie and had a great sandwich, cafetiere of coffee which is always so so good and the cream tea was the best we have had anywhere. Thank you so much.

This was a delightfully quintessential English 'tea shop' experience in a quiet corner to get away from it all, located on Overton High Street. A beautiful setting, warm and friendly hospitality, amazingly good food. No compromises, no corners cut. The cream tea was the best I've had in years (and the biggest)! No loud music or shouting Barristas serving endless pressing queues in the coffee chains either. This is a place you can really relax, enjoy the peace and let your mind wander in a very friendly, happy atmosphere. It's possibly the only place (including home with my young children now on holiday) where I've been able to read a book cover-to-cover without being disturbed once! 11 out of 10.

What a superb little spot Delicious fresh food, home grown salad, chilled prosecco al fresco in the company of charming engaging hosts who take the time and care to make every visit special Delightful

What a lovely place. The family who run it are extremely pleasant & welcoming. We were greeted by the son of the establishment in a very friendly manner which in today's world, where nobody seems to worry about customer service, made a refreshing change. Both the hot chocolate and the coffee we had were delicious, and were accompanied by a large scone with fresh cream and strawberry jam and a very healthy slice of Overton apple cake also with fresh cream: exquisite.

We go repeatedly for the yummy food. Quality ingredients, freshly prepared. Always a delight! Zoe and Rich are always so welcoming.

excellent service , very welcoming , you can shop & have a delicious snack or light lunch while you shop for something unusual .

We popped in for lunch and a browse round the shop yesterday lunchtime and as usual were spoilt for choice from the menu - all delicious and we can thoroughly recommend the ice cream quite delicious. We will be back. Thank you Richard and Zoe.

Had a fantastic lunch here, fresh local produce.. Will be back soon... Also a fantastic range of unique cards and gifts. I will return for picture framing!

I had seen this on Tripadvisor and arrived there just before 2 pm for a light lunch with my elderly mum. The seating area is through the shop looking out to a courtyard, workshop and pretty private chapel (one of only a few in the village). The hosts could not have been more welcoming and accommodating and we enjoyed tasty toasted sandwiches and coffees - both served with a smile. A hidden gem.... worth a visit. I'm very jealous that mum has the Overton Gallery on her doorstep. I hope to return in the summer to sit in the sunny courtyard and see inside the chapel.

I cant believe I haven't reviewed this place before. It's a delight and the couple who own it, Richard and Zoe, are lovely. It's essentially a shop selling really nice art and gift stuff plus they offer a picture framing service, but they also have seating and serve the most lovely lunches and teas. Saturday mornings they also do sausage sarnies - fabulous! I have been coming here for years and have never had a bad plate from them and am always warmly welcomed. It gets busy so avoid the obvious times, or phone ahead! Not really suitable for wheelchairs or for small children though there is a highchair - I just think it's not somewhere where children can run around!!

Overton Gallery is a lovely shop-come-tea room. On several occasions over the summer we've enjoyed coffee and cake/sandwiches in the outdoor terrace. The indoor area looks equally inviting, with lovely gifts/trinkets on sale.

Lovely place, very friendly and the food is homemade and absolutely delicious. Scones are the biggest I have ever seen, cake slices are huge and incredibly tasty. Watch out for the Apple cake when in season (they use apples from the garden!!) and Sausage Sarnies on a Saturday - great way to start the weekend!

The Overton Gallery is one of my favourite little shops and places to stop at to eat. If you're just after a light lunch or a delicious cup of coffee, they are always hospitable and their cakes are simply wonderful. Their shop stock the most amazing, fun gifts for everyone and near Christmas it's a delight to look around. Would definitely recommend for a lovely light lunch and Christmas shopping!

We popped in for Saturday lunch ahead of visiting the nearby Bombay Sapphire Distillery. I went for the special sausage sandwich while my wife opted for the beef and cheese toasted sandwich. I wasn't disappointed upon receiving rustic thick cut bread with generous amount of sausages of a good quality and flavour.

Stopped off very quickly on way to destination looking for somewhere to eat. Place we always used closed down so went here. Coffee was good though not strong enough and for what they charged £5.40 for a cafetiere for 2 we go two tiny and I do mean tiny cups each. We ordered toasted sandwiches which cost £5.50 and £6.50 each. We thought we might have got a decent salad and crisps with it for the price but no. It was just a v small garnish and the toastie. Cheese was v. mild and could hardly taste it though the bread was excellent. I was going to have a slice of cake but at £3.95 thought better of it. We thought over £17.00 for coffee and two sandwiches extreme

This is a great little spot to combine gift hunting with lunch or afternoon tea. Great cakes and sandwiches as well as a few hot options too. You'll be sure to find a warm welcome and a good seat in the conservatory or in the garden on a sunny day.

This is one of my favourite places to visit on a saturday morning! The owners are fantastic, try the scones and cream! They also sell the most fabulous items in the shop at the front :) x

Lovely lovely cafe out the back of the art gallery, sat out in the garden (but under cover as it was raining), and had a nice filling lunch with tea and cake, then wondered around the gift shop after. Great place to meet friends for lunch/coffee. Would definately recommend.

Always a great welcome, good food and drink and lovely atmosphere.We have seen the Overton Gallery for over 20 years and watched with pride and amazement how it is turned from a small shop selling gifts and picture framing to a very up to date cafe with great food and drink plus an amazing selection of cards and gifts and very very professional picture framing in delightful setting. The garden in the centre is the place to have lunch or afternoon tea.

The Gallery is my 'go to' place for cards and gifts. It's always beautifully laid out. I often go with a friend or my son to have lunch or tea. Today I had a latte and coffee cake - both delicious. The service is always friendly and welcoming: Richard and Zoe are a delight. Highly recommended.

We absolutely love everything about The Gallery. It is family business with an interesting concept - picture framing, gifts, cards, wrapping paper, handbags, scarves, jewellery, artwork and so much more along with a tea room all of which blend together so well - a mini emporium! They buy gifts with a range of prices so easy to find a treat to suit your budget. Really friendly but non intrusive service - they sourced a bracelet to match a necklace I had bought from them and it was absolutely perfect. I always spot things that I would like or the ideal gift for a friend. When Christmas draws near they always have seasonal items that seem to sell so fast so if you spot a sparkly bauble or an unusual gift you like buy it then and there otherwise you may be disappointed. Their Sausage sandwiches on Saturdays (available on Saturdays only all day until they run out!) for breakfast will see you through until dinner (locally sourced sausages and delicious locally baked bread both white and granary the latter of which is to die for) are the perfect start to our weekends with complimentary magazines and newspapers to read either in the sunny courtyard in the Summer, in the cosy conservatory on cooler days and in the cosy tea room with a real fire in the depths of Winter. So easy to relax and while away some chill out time at The Gallery. Seriously good cakes and absolutely huge scones and great coffee. They sell gift vouchers and I am always delighted to receive one as a present. I love the tinkle of the bell when you enter the shop - a reminder of times past but this is a truly modern experience....Open Tuesday to Sunday. Parking available in one of the village car parks or on the street outside but there is a time limit on street parking.

Little, almost hidden, gem. Great sandwiches and bagels. Really great location behind the gallery and pleasant helpful staff.

Visiting Overton for the day's festival. Needed a cup of coffee, asked and were directed to the Gallery "There's a cafe at the back" you would not expect it. But what a lovely surprise, Staff & food just delicious. The atmosphere was wonderful and the seating very romantic, especially the bungalow table with a view. A must visit place, even if it's just for ice cream or a coffee. You'l return for more.

Having had an afternoon exploring the local attractions we found this little gem for a cuppa. Would be encouraged to go back for lunch or to try their apple cake in September. Lovely little sun trap.

Charming location & hosts for a delightful family lunch. We were able to book, which I would recommend for larger groups. The food was excellent & everyone was pleased with their choices. The Saturday sausage sandwiches were lovely but the pate was delicious! The meringue dessert was amazing & well worth saving space for! Our hosts were delightful, helpful & charming - really lovely choice for a Saturday lunch with the added bonus of a great shop!

This shop goes beyond just art and framing. There are many interesting things to buy especially for unique presents. My real joy here is to pass through the shop to the small cafe outside in the garden. Lovely snacks and cakes and friendly fun staff.

Sausage Sandwhich Saturday -what's not to like? Great sausage from local butcher, gorgeous bread, lovely coffee.... Wife is currently enjoying meringue the size of a small dog. My coffee cake all but gone. Lovely to chill here.

A fantastic little shop and I can't leave without buying just a little something or even a big something. Great cards and presents

We love this place. Great coffee and cake, and a warm welcome always awaits. Fabulous setting both indoor and out. Nothing is too much trouble - definitely worth a visit.

Lovely to sit outside in the courtyard enjoying the warm weather. It was extremely busy due to village fair. Slightly annoying that the order people arrived did not translate to when the order was taken. Staff were friendly. Good selection of cards in the shop.
