The Foc in Basingstoke and Deane

Really enjoyed my visit to the Fox recently , more vegan and vegetarian choices , good service , lovely hot food , excellent cheese board and our table of 10 seemed to love every bit of it .

We chose The Fox Inn after receiving recommendations from colleagues who live locally. 30 of us gathered for an end of summer work bbq and Buddy and the staff all looked after us very well. We had the full use of the function room, as well as the skittle alley, which everybody enjoyed. Everybody really loved the food and a few of our group who have various food allergies and the veggies were also well catered for. We would definitely consider returning for another staff do in the future.

Spent a lovely couple of hours here. The food was excellent, nicely cooked and plenty of it all at reasonable prices. There was a nice selection of beers and the serving staff were very good, which made our visit just perfect.

For my (cough,cough) birthday party, I booked Buddy and his outstanding team to run a Caribbean BBQ in my back garden for 50 adults and 15 children. Buddy was very easy to work with and nothing was too much trouble. He had a choice of menus, which had great options for vegetarians, vegans and children. On the day, everything went very smoothly, they set up, served the food and cleared away without anyone I think even noticing. Now I must mention the actual food... oh wow! The goat curry was to die for... my family, friends and neighbours are still talking about it. We also had excellent BBQ chicken, wonderful salads and pineapple sweet potato.... it was all fantastic.

Recientemente celebré mi cumpleaños en el Fox para la familia y los amigos. El espacio interior y exterior era genial, la comida y el servicio era genial también. Como yo estaba organizando desde el extranjero todos los detalles fueron manipulados por correo electrónico, Buddy fue rápido para responder y no hay petición demasiado. Todo el personal que nos cuidó era amable y estaba bien organizado. Éramos un grupo de 40 personas, tuvimos una cena tipo buffet, con bebidas y algunos bailando hasta las 12. Perfecto para un ambiente relajado, informal. Yo estaba muy contento con el grupo. Pensamos que la relación calidad-precio era muy buena.

Había planeado una fiesta sorpresa para el cumpleaños 50 de mi esposa de Fox, en el Buddy y fue fundamental para que lo convierte en un enorme éxito. Desde el uso de la sala para clasificar los menús, todo salió a la perfección. La ventaja era la calidad de hollywood actuando cuando Buddy fue "sorprendido" cuando llegamos, preguntando si nos gustaría una mesa!

A gorgeous day so took advantage of the pub garden. Great space but could look more inviting; some tidying up and a bit more colour. Great lunch tho, Caesar salad was delicious and the staff were brilliant.

Parado hoy aquí para almorzar, tan contentos de haberlo hecho. Este pub es una joya, que sirve buena comida. Hoy tuvimos el Jerk Chicken, pollo asado de cordero al curry, y hamburguesa. Todos estaban demasiado agradable.. El curry y el jerk venía con plátano y arroz que va muy bien con esta comida de estilo caribeño. Se lo recomendaría a cualquiera. . También tiene un aliado. bolos. . .

Nuestra familia ha frecuentado el fox durante años para bebidas, almuerzos y cenas. Ha sido siempre un favorito de la familia gracias al personal increíble y una gran variedad de alimentos. Hace poco tuve una fiesta de cumpleaños allí y fue fantástico. La comida del buffet un lujo y el personal, dirigida por Buddy, no podía haber hecho más por nosotros. Sigue siendo un lugar muy especial para nosotros y esperamos celebrar muchos más ocasiones! !

Visited my dad Easter Sunday asked where he wanted to go the fox as it was near and had had some decent reviews. Got there 12noon not many cars in carpark for Easter Sunday. Went in Door to garden locked eventually opened. I say garden....

After seeing amazing reviews we couldn't wait to visit for Sunday lunch with friends. Sadly the ambiance was ruined by screaming children constantly running around, overpriced drinks (6.80 for a white wine and lemonade!?) and average food. Really disappointed

Another Saturday ramble around rural Oakley brought us back to the Fox where i met wife and daughter off the very convenient bus from Basingstoke Bus Station. We started with drinks graciously provided by our daughter of London Pride, Winter Ale Shandy and my wife's...

I think I possibly visited the Fox about a year ago and decided to come back as I remembered the Sunday roasts being very good. When you walk through the door, there is a lovely atmosphere in this traditional old looking pub and you are...

Tengo que ser sincero y soy un habitual, pero la calidad de la comida y los ingredientes nunca se debilita. El servicio de este día fue de bastante personal nuevo, pero ninguno ni mi familia encontró ningún fallo. Aunque mi esposa es bastante exigente en comió todo el plato tras el gran arranque familia nachos! 5 estrellas durante todo el

Pasamos un maravilloso fin de año nuevo aquí, una mesa de 15 en una noche muy concurrida y toda la comida llegó juntos, cocinado a la perfección deliciosos y aún caliente! Nada era demasiado problema con lugar en servicio por todo el personal, no puedo agradecer el propietario y el personal suficiente. (especialmente para el toque a la izquierda en nuestra mesa ☺).

I came in a group for a Christmas party, there was a varied menu, the food was lovely and I enjoyed all my three courses. I had visited once in the past on a rather busy evening and had not been very impressed but this time I was completely happy. Buddy couldn't have been more friendly and helpful (although the young waitress would benefit from a bit of training on how to relate to customers). The current proprietors are very community orientated people who have done wonders with this pub.

Friendly welcome and all the staff very nice and helpful. The meals were ok my burger was very dry and one person sent theirs back but over all an ok meal.

Worst food ever, such as shame as the Fox has always had a good rep. Was left very disappointed with dry, badly cooked and presented food. Even though we did complain it all fell on deaf ears.

We walked 3 miles to get here , after emailing a reservation for which we were confirmed , we arrived and was immediately warmly welcomed , the staff are all friendly and happy , creating a nice cosy happy light hearted atmosphere. It's nicely laid very clean and homely with a great menu , I ordered the signature dish "Budddy's Jerk Chicken Breast" as a main with a squid starter , the starter was excellent , but the main WOW this just superb ! I'd happily have this every day the whole combination of coconut rice, fried bananas and Jerk chicken is just perfect , I can't remember what else it came with but it just excellent . You could open a chain like nandos just doing this chicken and it would be just as successful ! My wish had the tuna steak and that was also excellent but the Jerk chicken is a whole level above , I've had this before me and 9 friends came here after clay shooting at Oakley hall without much expectation not realising the pub had change hands and there was a Caribbean twist to the menu , 9 blokes starving all fed and impressed the homemade burgers are superb to. Overall great pub for all with a great atmosphere , perfected by the friendly happy staff

Arrived here after a bracing Saturday morning walk around the rural environs of Oakley and met my wife for a light lunch.Since I had travelled in by bus I was able to partake of the excellent Guest -Winter Ale , full bodied, brewed by Fullers whilst my lady had her usual of Lme Soda. We savoured the homely atmosphere alongside many dogs and their owners in this clearly dogfriendly establishment. Buddy and Kate were very keen to please and provided fresh Gammon ham and Salmon and cream cheese Club sandwiches. The salmon was excellent despite me asking for the omission of the cheese but given our overall enjoyment this was easily forgiveable. With two beers and tasty crisps the bill amounted to £19.30 before optional service.

Came to the fox on weds with some friends to catch up and have a few drinks, staff and atmosphere was great as usual but was disappointed that the pub closed early. Bar closed approx 10.30 cutting a great evening short.

Having been to the fox before I for a Christmas do I decided to take the wife and in laws there for something to eat on a Saturday night. Upon entry we noticed it was incredibly busy with a function on and a busy bar so there was a bit of a wait but that was expected as soon as we got served we were seated and a waiter was with us very quickly. I opted for the curried mutton with plantain and rice and peas whilst my wife opted for the jerk chicken with coconut rice. Both meals were absolutely delicious just the right amount of heat and lovely spices, whilst my wife had a dessert I opted instead for a shot of proper Barbados rum (WOW!) although it was busy the staff were attentive enough and the owner even took time to say hello. Yes it's a bit out in the sticks but for me it's well worth the travel and I will be travelling there again when there summer menu hits

Meal was slow and food not really good. Long wait with young children hungry. The meat was poorly cooked and quality was not good.

Reasonable choice of food. Service OK but did not appear to be able to cope with more than a small group of visitors without prior notification as we had a very long wait for food

We have been customers of the Fox in Newfound for some while and always felt it was excellent both in atmosphere and food. However, the last few times we have been, although the personnel and the service is still excellent, the food, we have found, has been just about average, if not a bit below. We were there about a month ago, the food took ages to arrive and, when it did, my Cannelloni was served partly hot, partly cold. No one came back to check and we just ate it and decided they had an off day. Last night, we returned with three friends. One friend's fish was very over-done. I had mussels, which also seemed to have been a bit over cooked or perhaps popped under a grill to keep warm. No idea why this is happening but I hope it can be fixed as this was and hopefully will be, a great place to eat and enjoy friends' company

After being told how good this place is by our friends, we were disappointed. They must have been having an off day because the service was erratic, some food was hot and some cold. So generally not impressed. The one good thing was the Lemon Meringue pie.

We have been visiting The Fox for several years, and it never disappoints. We had lunch yesterday, don't know if the chef has changed but it just gets better, saying that we have never had a bad experience at The Fox.The Ambience is wonderful, for a pub the restaurant is special,We love the set out, if you want privacy there is always a place the wonderful staff will accommodate. This Wonderful Staff are headed by Russell the Restaurant Manager who will look after your every need/request, not over powering but always alert,Making sure his Friendly Staff are attentive at all times through out your visit.Drink, wonderful selection of fine wines and great beers, ask Russell he will run through the guest beers, he never disapoints.Food, fabulous menu, local produce sourced. When seated the staff will run through the specials, yesterday I had a Chowder Starter which was to die for, my wife had fish cakes, which she voiced was delicious. We don't normally have the same main course, but we opted for the Fillet Steaks, cooked to perfection,Tasted great. A nice wide variety of sweets are offered.Good Cheese board, fine Ports. Wonderful coffee selection.Just can't find any faults, which is annoying.We are experienced lunchers, travelling wide through Hampshire and beyond, you won't find an Inn/Restaurant better than the fox. Wonderful Experience, Can't wait to return.Oh I forgot to mention the award winning gardens, Children and dogs most welcome.

Great pub, great food and super staff, this pub has a really nice feel to it and as a bonus it has a pool table.

We've been to the Fox inn many times but this was our first Sunday lunch there. The food was delicious, the presentation mouth watering and the welcome was friendly as always. Thoroughly recommended.
