The best pub and eatery in Basingstoke. Chris and Emma are great. Claire, Dondon and Lottie are wonderful behind the bar. Steven always welcomes me when I walk in, with my drink straight away top marks and knows my favourite drinks of choice (as do the rest of the staff) Extremely dog friendly, fantastic atmosphere. You will not be disappointed!!!

Now in my fourties I never really go to the pub for a pint and be social, however after discovering The Bounty in Basingstoke, I now can't stay away. A good selection of beer and cider, a great menu which was well delivered and well priced. I'm now a regular and come here with friends every week. Keep up the good work.

I used to live in Basingstoke but moved away 20 years ago. Me and my wife now have to do fairly regular trips back as my elderly mother has been in a care home since October. She used live in the hook area and when I/we visited,used to use the pubs/eateries round there. We stayed at the premier inn right by the bounty the weekend just gone (10-12th Dec). We met a mate for a drink and used the bounty,which for me until a couple of months ago was for the first time in nearly 30 years. All I can say is, we'll be back. Loved it!!

One lady serving was horribly stretched doing drinks taking orders and serving food. Waited 20 mins to be served then 30 mins for food. When it arrived it was very nice and reasonably priced. But waiting times were really off-putting.

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).

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!

My partner and I have been before and always enjoyed the Sunday lunches. However today - March 2nd - wasn’t so good. Whilst the service was okay the main course arrived on cold plates with vegetables verging on being cold. We complained and a small bowl of hot veg was brought out. Not acceptable, so we requested that both meals be replaced on fresh plates which they duly did. This time the plates and the veg were hot - so much better. We can only assume they changed their chef. Shame. With so much competition for Sunday lunch in the area it will be some time before we return.
