Stumbled across this pub by accident, loved the atmosphere instantly, and the food then lived up to our expectations from meeting the fun and very friendly staff! 100% recommend! Oh, and there’s a very very cute pub dog.

Always nice to visit and have a "proper pint" and hold a conversation without the dreaded Sky tv "coming at you" I understand it is being taken over by Punch and food will be served at long last.

First time visiting the pub since it got refurbed with a group of friends out for drinks. From the minute we walked in we were made to feel so welcome by the staff. Love what they have done to the pub, we sat in the garden which was lovely. We were only supposed to stay for a couple then move on, but we were enjoying it so much we ended up staying for 6 hours lol. Steve made us the most amazing espresso martinis. The staff are so attentive and friendly, think I've found my new fave pub to go to when I'm out and about in town. The food looked and smelt amazing, so much so we have decided to go for a roast today. Thanks again to the amazing staff for making our day so enjoyable. Gina and co

Very limited menu (basically just fried chicken and chips or a burger of some kind). Couldn't even make some soup for person unable to chew (offered porridge) at 4-30pm after ordering wine. It was very very small inside, cramped up and had to eat in the bar next to the door that was draughty. Food is terrible. Cheap food dressed up like gastro. No Sunday lunch menu, terrible experience. Crap.....

My son and I, on business, were staying in a rather soulless hotel and so had a search of the web to see what else might be around for a couple of beers and a bite to eat. We weren't looking for fine dining, just something nice and more convivial surroundings. So we booked a table and rocked up. On arrival, we were able to sit 'where we liked', so ordered a couple of pints of (what turned out to be very well-kept!) beer and perused the menu. The landlady asked if we 'had come for the quiz?' - we hadn't, but said we see if we were still there. The pub filled, every table taken (Tuesday eve!!) and so we decided to take part. The food was great! Simple (burgers, chicken, hotdogs, etc) but all with a twist and all REALLY tasty and plentiful. But the pub is a gem! A proper, old school local - but not one where you're made to feel like you've entered the slaughtered lamb on entry! - even the gents is outside! The locals were friendly, as were the landlord and landlady, so we ended up having a cracking evening. On a Tuesday, in the rain, in Basingstoke. Who'da thought it?! To cap it all off, my son and I won the quiz (we had some very lucky breaks in the questions!) so stuck half the winnings back behind the bar by buying a couple of large 12yo Dalmores. Now, a pub that has that on its top shelf has definitely got something going for it. May this pub flourish and prosper; a hidden gem.

Interesting pub on the edge of Basingstoke town centre. Initially when I walked in I thought I'd made a mistake & pub didn't sell any cask beers! However I'm glad to report although not immediately obvious the pub sells at least three cask but situated on the tiny back bar! Two beers tried & very drinkable. The pub is multiple roomed around a central long bar which carries a good range of drinks It was warm comfortable & sells food.( Check times available).

We visited Basingstoke to meet friends. 4 adults, 5 kids and 3 dogs decided to descend upon The Bounty for lunch. Such a warm welcome from the moment we walked in the door. Food was absolutely delicious, and the fab service continued throughout our visit despite us being a large, noisy, messy (thanks to the kids) group! If we were to find ourselves in Basingstoke again we would not hesitate to return.

We chose this inn, following the reviews on Google, for our first dinner in the English countryside. Typical English inn with a large outdoor area (which we did not use). Menu is not very extensive but all the dishes chosen turned out to be of excellent quality. The burgers, in particular, were very tasty. Very good beers. Courteous and helpful service. The cleanliness of the bathrooms needs to be improved.

I don’t normally write reviews but with the current cost of living crisis and businesses struggling to stay afloat I wanted to. If your looking for a decent burger/American style food with quality fillings and ingredients and good portions, head to the bounty. The price is really reasonable too in this current climate too making it very good value for money compared to other places locally. I didn’t even know that they where doing food as it changed hands recently. Its somewhere I think people forget about but such a good traditional pub with nice decor too! Hard to find these little gems nowadays and eating out is getting so expensive so thought a need To share!

I am the office manager and executive assistant of a large European healthcare distributor with an office based in Basingstoke, and was tasked with planning a summer social locally. I went to a few different pubs, bars and restaurants with a very specific plan in mind, and none were able to or willing to help (and I don't blame them!). When I came to the Bounty Inn, I was taken aback by how cute the pub is, how nice the atmosphere is and how absolutely lovely the Landlord, his partner and staff are. They could not do enough to help us, even when I was emailing and calling almost every day to change something; be it the menu, the layout of the pub, the garden, the number of guests, and at no point did Chris or anyone else make me feel like I was being a nuisance (although I'm sure I was!). They were totally accommodating and every single person in every single role that attended the event had an absolutely fantastic, relaxed and fun night with great food and flowing drinks, all thanks to the team at The Bounty. They even let us decorate the garden with our company colours and fairy lights, and went to the shops to source our food for us on the day to make sure it was really fresh and to save me the hassle of doing it! For all of the time, effort and work that went into it, we were expecting a big bill, and that wouldn't have been unreasonable - but the price was totally fair and Chris worked to stay within the budget we initially discussed. We will be heading back soon and we collectively cannot recommend this place and these people enough. Thanks again Chris, to you, your lovely partner and your fab team. From Georgina & HC21 :-)

The food was amazing they had a fantastic range of beers, the pub was busy and vibrant. For me the staff were so genuine and obliging, they exceeded my expectations as customer service is very difficult to find and great customer service is even rarer.
