Standard Wetherspoons with a nice view out of the front with a fantastic outside seating area and amphitheatre down to the left. The spoons was clean tidy and staff very efficient.

Food quality has really gone downhill. Appreciate you don't go to spoons for high end stuff but the breakfast used to be decent but not anymore. The bacon was gray and hard and several items were cold. The coffee was decent and the place clean enough.

Atrocious. Staff stood around talking huddled at the end of the bar, One member of staff talking to what was obviously a "regular" who then decided to serve him EVENTUALLY asking what I wanted, which wasn't available, however I was told it would be a few minutes to change, but having waited best part of 13 minutes I opted for something else. Felt sorry for the young guy behind the bar who was being "told" the beer was off, which it wasnt, it was obviously a smelly glass from what is probably an unclean glasswasher. Filthy toilets, no toilet paper, discarded underwear, and about as much atmosphere as the moon. Wide Berth given.

Worst spoons experience I've ever had. Place is appallingly understaffed, and the ones that are there either don't care, or aren't trained properly. Service was awful, drinks took forever to come despite it only being 2 drinks (one canned and one draught drink). It took so long in fact, we were served our meals before drinks which should never happen, and i say that as someone who works in catering. I had to go up to the bar and ask a member of staff for our drinks to be served as even after waiting further after receiving our food they just weren't coming. We were also served our meals with previous customers dirty plates/glasses still on our table... This place just isn't functioning, they clearly need to train their front-of-house staff and also hire more as the service is just embarrassing. Food was great though, which is a shame because it was really dragged down by the appalling service. Will be going to other venues when I am next in Basingstoke.

This is a big Wetherspoon pub, fairly modern interior that's a little bland, the kind of opposite to the Maidenhead Inn at the other end of town. It has a decent outside seating area, and can be busy at all times, which can stretch the bar staff and lead to long waiting times for a drink. However- the ale range is pretty good, the food is too, and the staff are a friendly bunch!

Very disappointed - the manger was rude and refused to swap 6 onion rings for an extra egg as we didn’t like them, our food came almost cold and had part the meal missing when we made them aware of this it took us speaking to 3 members of staff before having this resolved- half the beers had run out when we arrived at 1pm and heard them say to top up a Stella with another lager unsure if this is even allowed? Staff were rude, impatient snappy and uninterested. It was dirty. On a bright note Lou was a diamond! He was helpful start to finish made sure the children had colouring paper once we asked very quickly and sorted our missing food without any problems.. Lou deserves a raise thank you for making a crappy meal that little bit brighter.

Awful experience. Visited with friends for a meal and got served at the bar by what seemed like new bar staff (shortish young boy with chewed up fingernails) looked like he’d been out all night from the bags under his eyes, and couldn’t care less. Tables were dirty and carpet smelt. Does this place have cleaners?! Also, get some decent staff. The boy that served us seemed uninterested, and could do with some manners in serving people instead of going ‘what do you want’

A very pleasantly situated spoons along with other food outlets near to a large shopping centre. Nice outdoor area. The food was typically spoons, hot, cheap and tasty, I had katsu curry. However I felt some of the staff needed to move a little quicker as I had to go looking for my app ordered drinks after 15 minutes and they weren't that busy. James, however cleaned our table and bought food. He was a nice pleasant person who made me feel that our visit there was worth it after all.

I love Wetherspoon however this location has the worst customer service. My coworker, my son and myself went there , the guy over the bar look at us and walked away ( we are black) . I stood for about five minutes waiting and I got frustrated and had to literally call for some assistance; which they reluctantly came. The table was dirty which took another 5 minutes to get someone to clean it.I saw other customers came in after us ( white) and they ran to their attention. The waiter over charged me and was rudely explaning it. Food came VERY COLD . WORST location ...

Visited this Wetherspoons pub when I was shopping in Basingstoke with mates It was a Saturday morning but the place was packed with people eating and having a drink. It was clean and friendly with a nice atmosphere. It was warm as well. The only criticism were the staff were a bit too casual.. slow even.

A modern-style pub meeting all the Wetherspoons standards- very wide menu for food and drinks, good service. Conveniently located right next to Festival Place shopping centre and cinema. Only giving 4 stars since this branch is very busy at virtually all times- often not possible to get a table on weekends even earlier in the day.

Buenos precios. Siempre que voy a UK me gusta ir a comer o beber a un wether spoon. Si buscas precios bajos en comida es recomendable venir aquí. Si buscas calidad...no vengas. También, te puedes pedir un café o té y te lo sirves tú, esto tiene sus ventajas, ya que te puedes servir las veces que quieras y como quieras La única cosa que no me gustó es que las mesas están pegajosas....quizás podrían dejar un bote un papel para poder limpiar las mesas.

Typical Wetherspoons. Food is alright for the price, drinks are cheap as well. Atmosphere varies but lately it has gone downhill. They lost a lot of their good staff to other local bars and the new staff seem miserable being there. Service has also taken a hit. Never waited 30 minutes for a beer before and the security guards are ridiculous about the dumbest things...curry is decent

Its a Wetherspoons so obviously not going to be gourmet. But to pop in here for a few drinks and a bite to eat with mates before going to the cinema, it ticks the boxes and does the job. Plenty of beer selections, all drinks consumed by our group were faultless. Food was fine. More than adequet. The lady that served us was friendly. Good atmosphere and actually a nice setting as well. Would happily return.

Busy when we got there, Saturday afternoon, ordered from an outside table. Took a while to get the drinks initially. Food wasn't too much longer after that. Portions have got smaller, quality was ok. Not everyone at my table liked their food, I went with a jacket potato, it was small and squished up to make the gap for filling smaller. Was glad I ordered side salad, although there wasn't that much of it either. Overall ok

Now this is a nice spoons. The usual wood element is definitely there but with so much glass that lets in an amazing amount of natural light, mix that with some bright colours behind the bar it is a feast for the eyes. The staff were friendly and efficient, constantly on the move. There was quite a lot of seating inside but still with space to move around but the outdoor seating is the charm: quite a lot under the circular courtyard entrance with lots of space plus more seating out in the open down the side of the pub. There is also a LOT of green space here and I have no idea how it's managed so check before you lie back and enjoy. The Guinness was excellent.

The worst weatherspoons I have ever been to. I have visited many weatherspoons throughout the UK and this has to be the worst. To the manager who couldn’t comprehend that if you buy chicken pre-cooked, it still poses a risk of food poisoning and therefore should not be cold and pink/bleeding upon eating. Meat is meat, pre-cooked or not, it should be heated all the way through despite how you purchase the product.

I had the vegan fiesta burger meal which comes with chips and 6 onion rings. You can choose to have this meal with a soft drink or alcohol. I chose the raspberry lemonade. It was a busy lunchtime on a Wednesday afternoon. The person who served me didn't know that my meal came with a drink. The person who served my meal just put it down in front of me and walked off. Service wasn't friendly but the food came fairly quickly. I sat outside. Unfortunately, the nicer seats out in the sun are for smokers and non-smokers have to sit in the shade. The meal itself was tasty.

I've been to the angel a few times but I wouldn't go again. There drinks are fairly priced so you aren't paying a arm and a leg for a drink. Trying to find a place to sit down and have your drink can sometimes be difficult depending on the time and day. I wouldn't recommend applying for any job offers they give out I've applied for 2 different Jobs there and like most places they take down your phone number and email and say they will be in contact with you but they won't even bother to contact you.

Most likely the worst pub in Hampshire impolite bar service seems likes it changed hands yet again and your forced to listen to loud thug music on the constant and if you choose your own it’s instantly turned down.Ladies toilets always smell of damp and the atmosphere feels like a pub brawl will occur.

Visited here a few times for drinks and the atmosphere has always been good. Great selection of spirits available, including lots of gins/rums. There is occasionally live music on a Friday or Saturday night, or they tend to show the sport of a major tournament is on - most recently the rugby! (we won't talk about that game...) Prices are what you'd expect from most pubs, so not overly expensive/cheap. There is an additional area upstairs that you can request to book of you're having a work event or just a large group of you turning up. Have never had a problem here. If the drinks prices mean you can't spend your whole evening here, there's always the Wetherspoons next door to get a few cheap rounds in.
