The Fur and Feathers in Basingstoke and Deane

A nice and cosy country pub with excellent food and polite and quick service. Exactly the comfort that was needed on a misty November Sunday 👏🏻

5 stars only because I can't put 6 or 7. Lovely place, excellent food (the duck breast...), nice staff. It's always a pleasure to go there.

We recently celebrated a family birthday here and I would thoroughly recommend to anyone who is looking for a fantastic Sunday lunch in the Basingstoke area. From the moment that we made the booking through to leaving, Peter and his team were extremely helpful and friendly, making the whole experience an enjoyable one. The food itself was delicious and there were no complaints in our large party (a rarity!). With a larger party you often expect there to be delays but everything came out quickly and hot. The roast pork and squidgy brownies were definite highlights! If you are in the area, you should absolutely make the trip to visit this charming country pub.

Amazing Sunday roast, great service and a friendly team.

Lovely pub out in the countryside. The food was excellent. We had the Sunday lunch. My sister & sister-in~law enjoyed the vegetarian Sunday lunch said it was not dry like many others and had lots of mushrooms, seeds and nuts in the nut roast. I had a child portion for health reasons & this was not questioned which happens in some places. Prices are reasonable. Friendly staff and we never felt rushed. Would definitely return. Thank you.

Very friendly staff, treated by daughter, son in law plus loopy grand daughter to great meal, good atmosphere plus good garden space.

My husband and I were travelling from East Meon to Basingstoke and stopped at the Fur and Feathers for lunch. The food was first class and the ambiance was also most enjoyable, just sorry we had no room for desert!

We typically visit this pub during every Farnborough Airshow as the food is always excellent and the ale is fresh and local. We were a party of 11 this year and provided our fixed menu selections prior to visiting. I had the 8oz steak frites which was good, but did not include the garlic butter I would have expected on the steak. I also felt the cheese and crackers for dessert could have had a little more embellishment, such as figs or apricots as well as the grapes. The owner indicated soaring costs were putting pressure on the business and had resulted in shutting down for a year. I hope they are still there and thriving in 2 years time when we next visit.

The man that runs this pub is the rudest man I’ve ever spoken to in my life, the barman.. if you could give any dirty looks he would’ve done. Very unpleasant place to be in ,stay away beware.I was going to until you was so rude,and my son was outside looking upset and he explained how rude you all where

OMG had the full run of this place on Saturday for birthday party. Everything was fantastic. Fran and Peter were great hosts, food was delicious!

This was the second weekend on the bounce I visited so I thought I had a good idea of expectations give or take. If a restaurant doesn’t offer table water without prompting it’s not a great start. You can go the extra mile without breaking the bank and it’s common courtesy and gives the restaurant an early opportunity to shine. This was not the case. The service was unbelievably slow. Two girls plus barman were on hand but the lack of any sense of urgency was lost on all three. We arrived early and were warmly welcomed but having ordered the main course I calculated we were waiting well over 30 minutes past the time we’d actually booked the table for the food to arrive. We were short changed with the veg meant to be served with the main meals as we were served with only one dish between three of us. The previous week we similarly had one veg between only two of us so somebody didn’t do the maths very well today. As we’d waited so long for the mains to finally arrive I’d given up hope by telling the waitress of the poor service levels as I really didn’t want to wait a further 30 minutes for the replacement to my over cooked potatoes and lack of veg. The other family member ordered a dessert which was nearly the last straw as this similarly took forever to arrive. I’ve rarely felt so exasperated with such low levels of service and as I was in company I didn’t want to kick off as the pub is so small and I preferred to put it down to experience. I paid the bill at the bar as I’d already waited quite long enough to endure any further waiting in being presented the bill at the table. I was puzzled that the bill included a 10% service charge as I hadn’t received anything like service. I haven’t given this a poor rating as I believe Peter is probably doing his level best but it just didn’t happen today.

Just popped in for a bite to eat for lunch. Great menu with lots of choice. We decided on a starter each of battered prawns and the caramelised onion and goats cheese filo tart, both were delicious, tasty and fresh. Lovely couple, friendly with excellent customer service. Would highly recommend and will definitely return.

There were no words to describe our excitement on hearing that the Fur and Feathers had partially reopened after having to close last year due to extortionate fuel costs. We booked for Mother's Day and the food was as incredible as it always has been. Fran is a perfectionist and her cooking is just amazing., backed up with excellent service front of house. We saw her briefly at the end of our meal and discovered that she had fed 40 covers on her own due to staff not being available on the day, just shows the level of excellence of this restaurant. Looking forward to our next visit already!

This place has come back after having to close when energy prices spiked. As ever, it is welcoming and the beer is well kept.

This is a great place to have an event or a large party. Proper family run venue with the wife running the kitchen and the husband running front of house with his daughter the food quality and decoration is unimaginable. The service is top notch. As a team they are always looking to help out every party member when assistance is needed. Good selection of drinks too. Lovely outside dining area with the option for outside catering as they have the facilities. Massive car park and a very quiet location close to the M3 just outside of Basingstoke. They really made me happy when I visited. Totally recommend this place.

Moored up out boat just outside the village. We went into the pub to ask if we could have a take away They said of course so the team cooked up our selections from the menu and we brought the back to eat on the boat. Thanks to the staff the food was delicious.

Fantastic food and brilliant owners

Yet another hidden gem of a pub tucked away in the beautiful Hampshire countryside. Really, really good food and highly recommended. Good beer guide listing (2022) was also well deserved - two great pints!

Totally blown away by this place. We attended for Sunday lunch and the food and service was excellent. This place doesn't just do good food, they do good food cooked really well with service to match

Real gastro pub. Family run and that makes them stand out. Good food and many gins on offer.

Just had the most amazing, locally sourced Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. Thanks to all the front of house staff and kitchen/cooks as food was as exceptional as ever and friendly atmosphere made this a perfect Christmas Day dinner.

Best kept dining experience in Hampshire and beyond - a pub with food and drink standards beyond those associated with pubs. Half a mile from Lasham Glider Airfield near Alton. Discovered post Covid shutdowns and justifies repeat visits on a day out travelling from our home in mid Sussex. Great team of true professionals, great service, and certainly not delivering chill cooked food prepared offsite - microwaved and put under the grill for effect! Comprehensive, creative menu using top quality fresh ingredients. Demonstrates the best of British.

What a surprise! We have spent a week sampling food all over London and Paris. So many great meals and experiences, however, I have to say that the best was had on a trip out of London when we stopped in at the Fur & Feathers! Everything we had was superb in presentation, taste, and quantity. Thank you, Phil of Hidden Britain Tours, for introducing us to this hidden gem. And a huge thank you to Fran for the warm welcome and the amazing food. Wish we could return frequently but will have to wait till the next time we are visiting England. We will be back!

Highly recommend. Amazing food, great atmosphere fantastic hospitality. We will be back very soon.

Lovely family owned pub with true English countryside atmosphere - and wonderful Christmas decorations this time of year. Very pleasant service, great beer, a menu card as you would hope for and very nice food. Will definitely return!

What a great experience! Lovely country pub, where you can feel the Christmas spirit as soon as you come in. The food was very good and the owners friendly and attentive. Strongly recommended.

Dropped in, unannounced, for lunch; greeted by polite and helpful staff and seated immediately. Excellent food, really good service and reasonable prices. If only we had somewhere like this round our way. Well done!

Visited here today with my mum the food (roast beef) was amazing and my mum throughly enjoyed her Ice cream desert

We were in the area and they managed to fit us in(despite it being a busy Sunday lunch!). The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was very relaxing and comfortable. All of the food came out quickly and was delicious. All round pleasant experience, they seemed to have everything running very smoothly. I cannot praise the staff enough, will definitely return.

Proper pub, delicious food and ales all reasonably priced. Very accommodating, especially as we weren't the easiest group with a dog and children!

Lunch with friends . Friendly owner, really good value lunch menu.

Lovely country pub, excellent food and a warm welcome.

Terrific country pub! Beautiful decoration, lovely staff and exceptional food. Very highly recommended!

All I can say is WOW ... taste of this food is amazing 👏... only a few pointers to take them to 5 stars... kids roast had no vegetables at all , we did ask and they never arrived , very pricey so would expect the delivery to be 100 % . Also no kids puddings choices.. which can end up very very expensive when you have 4 kids. So other than these points, great food and nice place , would highly recommend. But as times are getting harder people will expect to have moneys worth . And charging what they do for the kids not to have veg is not really exceptable also 2 lots of veg between 10 people is very poor for nearly a £ 20 roast .

We booked for a family meal for 10 people which is always quite difficult right accoommodate for most pubs. The pub is in a nice rural location and is very welcoming and friendly when you arrive. A good selection of drinks to choose from for all of us. The menu has a wide range of choice for adults and children and is reasonably priced. All the food which we had from the Sunday menu was outstanding and all good size portions. I had the lamb roast which was cooked perfectly as was the roast potatoes, stuffing and homemade Yorkshire puddings. The choice of vegetables was good and we had cauliflower cheese and daphinoise to accompany the mains. The dessert choice was varied and again reasonably priced. I had the ice cream which I chose chocolate and clotted cream ice cream. My wife chose the apple and gooseberry crumble and custard which was really nice. The service was friendly and consistent from start to finish both on the bar and at the table. We will definitely be looking to come back for food and drinks in the future.

We were a walk in on a Sunday at 2.20pm with a dog. We received a warm welcome followed by fantastic food - starter, main and pudding were all exceptional. A really lovely pub and excellent service

Incredible Sunday Roast! Lovely pub with friendly and welcoming staff. The quality of the food was great and would highly recommend!

Nice atmosphere. Staff helpful and friendly even though very busy. Would recommend as food was very good. Had a lovely roast dinner here on a Sunday.

From a marvellous warm welcome to fantastic service and food along with a fab layout to warn friendly ambiance i had the best sunday ever ! we will for sure be going back again and again and will also be booking up for the Christmas menu during December - Thank you all !

Fabulous lunch with family. Lots of nice unexpected touches. Recommend the warm cheese starter ( 4 of us shared one). Home made beef burger delicious. And I've never had such great home made ice creams plus accompanying brittle and crumb. Don't forget the landlady's home made preserves on your way out.

Gracious hosts. Fish and chips were delicious and truly edible. The pork schnitzel is worth the drive. Locally world-famous, the restaurant came highly recommended by friends from Odiham.

Met a group of friends here Saturday evening. Great garden for groups. Blue cheese burger was excellent. We’re a bunch of roudy South Africans, but Sophie handled us very well. Even at 10.30 just before closing time when she had to make cocktails!

Visiting friends in the area and decided to pop in for a drink. Met by a rude arrogant stuck up old man who I believe was the owner. I left and spent my money elsewhere. The best thing this guy can do is close the doors and shut the place. Clearly hasn't got a clue about running a business

Been going for years, lovely owners, cozy and chill atmosphere!

Visited last Wednesday lunchtime and enjoyed a quality meal in every way. The venue very clean and tastefully decorated with a relaxed country pub atmosphere. Food excellent accompanied by crockery, cutlery and glasses aesthetically pleasing to the eye such details adding to one’s whole experience. My lime & lemonade the best ever, I could really see and taste the lime and not overloaded with ice but with a nice wedge of lime in it, in so many places this drink is served so weak you can hardly tell what it is. Our omelettes of cheese, gorgeous ham, and whole small tomato’s and herbs was a real treat for our tastebuds, chips tasty too. I followed with a small dessert of homemade mixed berry sorbet. Needless to say both that and the coffees we had maintained the standard. The only worry being the main was very generous and much as we enjoyed everything an option of a small plate would be appreciated as our appetites have disappointedly become smaller in recent years, also had that size been an option I’m pretty certain I could then have managed a full size dessert 🤣 but well done to everyone involved.

Brilliant beetroot burger, good service, relaxed friendly atmosphere. Will be back

Booked dinner as a birthday treat with family because of good reviews and wasn't disappointed. One of our party has a severe allergy and the staff could not have been more careful and mindful of this which was much appreciated. The food is beautifully cooked and presented and it was lovely to sit out in the garden after a baking hot day. Thoroughly recommended and we will certainly go back.

We visited today with friends and had a fabulous time. The food was divine and the staff go above and beyond to ensure you have an enjoyable experience. Great vegan food too!!

Found this place buy chance on the way back to Kent. Excellent food excellent staff very friendly, beautiful garden area and excellent value for money. Will definitely be calling in again on our next visit to Hampshire

We've been eating at the Fur & Feathers for many years and its always a great experience. The food is consistently fantastic and we've celebrated many events here from birthdays to Christmas dinner. Friendly staff and top menu. Thankyou Peter!

My son came to visit from London and we went for Sunday lunch. Very disappointing, we got two halves of a roast potato, two slivers of beef and a dish of vegetables enough for one person! At £16.75 a plate that is very poor. As we left my son said he was still hungry! We won’t be coming back! I should even rate at 2 stars except the quality of the food was good!

Had a great evening here last night and the beef Wellington cooked by Fran was beautiful. Would recommend this place for good freshly cooked food

Absolutely fantastic!!! We dropped in on the off chance to find this hidden gem. We were greeted at the bar and whilst ordering drinks, another waitress came by and smiled and greeted us - how lovely! We had some drinks and sat in the garden,...

As a very foodie couple we really struggle to find places we enjoy eating in the local area. Pubs menus are either centralised or very similar to their competitors these days. So when we came across this rare gem of a pub we where so pleased! Fantastic home cooked food! Owners who bend over backward to accommodate you! Fabulous cocktails and a beautiful garden! We found this pub 3 weeks ago and we’ve visited 3 times already! Looking forward to many more fabulous visits.

Impromptu lunch with a friend. We sat in the pretty garden and enjoyed a freshly made ciabatta with a lovely side salad and a glass of wine. We were chatting away well past the 3pm closing time. The landlord was very accommodating and only asked...

We had a fantastic dinner with our team attending the Farnborough International Airshow. Unbelievable service, welcoming owners, delicious locally sourced food and and drink! Highly recommend The Fur & Feathers to anyone looking for a relaxing and fun evening!!!

6 of the family met up for Sunday lunch and a few drinks. We were in the garden under a very large sun umbrella which kept us in the shade whilst a nice breeze kept us cool. The food was excellent. I had roast beef, it was tender and tasty, the vegetables were excellent too. I had pistachio and ginger ice-cream afterwards which is made on the premises. I have to say that it was probably the best I've ever tasted. We'll definitely be back as all the staff did a great job too. THANKS.

One of my favourite pubs. Fantastic food and great beer. Menu changes and you can always guarantee a great meat and seafood offering. The Tunworth cheese starter is an absolute must and the owners are very friendly and attentive.

I'd only gotten the chance to stop for a drink at this pub in the past but decided to try the food this time. It was great quality, plenty of it and nicely presented.

The Fur and Feathers is set in stunning countryside just off the A339 between Alton and Basingstoke. We received a very warm welcome when we dined here with my party of five. The menu choices were good, I would heartily recommend the crispy duck salad...

Stopped here on way to Basingstoke and it’s a real gem. Friendly service, in pleasant surroundings and surprised not many people there at lunchtime as the food was excellent. Can recommend the ciabatta sandwiches and salad. We’ll worth a visit.

Friendly, welcoming atmosphere at this family run pub. Delicious food using local ingredients where possible, beautifully presented. Highly recommended.

Wonderful evening with friends at this family fun pub. A warm welcome when you walk in. Excellent seasonal menu with pub favourites alongside. High quality food in a relaxing atmosphere. Good choice of wines.

Stumbled across this pub after visiting Basingstoke. It’s literally only just off the main ‘A339’ road but feels nice and remote in the countryside. There was a lovely reception from the manageress and she looked after us very well. Our ciabatta lunchtime meals were very...

We visited after being recommended by a friend. What a great find! We were welcomed and offered a drink very promptly. The ambiance was lovely and we felt very relaxed. The menu was really interesting with some exciting choices. One choice was a pie and...

Meal for 2 on a Thursday night. We both ordered the duck and it was excellent and delicious. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended.

Had a lovely meal on Wednesday evening, we sat out in the garden which is nicely kept and great on a sunny day. Everyone I was with chose the fish and chips which was fresh battered haddock, chunky chips and a great homemade tartare sauce. I had the duck, which I can't recommend enough, the skin was crispy with a good level of doneness (could be more under but I'm not sure that'd appeal to the masses, it certainly wasn't over done though), the dauphinoise were wonderfully creamy and garlicky and just the right amount on the plate. The real star of the show however was the sauce, a fantastic balance between the meaty umami of a homemade thickened brown stock and the fruity, tangy slight sweetness of the red currants and orange. The sauce perfectly complimented the duck, veg and potato without distracting from them but can equally hold it's own as an element on the plate. If you like camembert then the baked Tunworth to start is a real treat. The local beers and ciders are good too. A gem of a place! TL;DR order the duck

We were there 2 nights on a row and were charmingly attended to by a very friendly and helpfull staff. Meals are everything you can expect from a good pub and the wines are quite good. Price is in accordance so do not hesitate if...

Would you like to eat at an authenticate English pub? If yes, then this is the place for you. The food was great, the service excellent, and the atmosphere very pleasant. We were made to feel like family. We really liked looking at the quaint...

Really pleasant pub,the lady owner most welcoming, We always pick free houses as we find the chains,and brewery owned places less than rewarding. Anyway,pretty garden and fun to watch the busy sky ,a glider school nearby. Excellent fish and chips,and a memorable cheese soufflé,wish we...

I had the pesto garlic linguine with chicken wrapped in crispy bacon- delicate flavours and moist chicken superb. My husband had veal: equally tasty. The setting sun shines across the fields into the garden - very atmospheric. All local produce. Highly recommended

A proper independent Free House country pub. A great menu with plenty of tempting starters, mains and deserts. Would highly recommend the baked cheese as a starter, the duck as a main and, if you have room, the churos as a dessert. There are plenty...

Was on way home when spotted this restaurant so glad I did as the food was amazing and so was the presentation, the staff were very friendly and chatty, can’t wait to get back up there and try more on the menu. Would highly recommend,...

Had the most fabulous lunch for 7 at The Fur and Feathers. A surprise oasis of sublimely delicious food. Seasonal ingredients featured highly on the menu and all food was obviously home made from chutneys to puddings with a lot of effort put into every dish. Would recommend highly.

Really lovely people and excellent food in a beautiful garden setting.

We went for a circular walk nearby and stopped by this pub for lunch. I had linguine with chicken breast - I had never had such tender and moist chicken breast before - they are usually on the dry side. My husband had beef burger...

Popped in on a Thursday Lunchtime. A lovely atmospheric pub slightly off the beaten track. It has a large garden which is delightful in the summer with a well appointed indoor dining area. The pub has a large selection of wines and a couple of...

Great place. Had some really good real ales and the food was delicious. Definitely will be going back.

We came to fur and feathers after a morning trip to the Basingstoke I Fly. We booked a table for 8 in advance, between us we had burgers various, fish and chips, mackerel and beef bourginon. All main courses were delicious, burgers homemade, beef bourginon...

Our first ever visit to this lovely pub, wonderful welcome smiles the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food unbelievable, delicious, great to see a place that does not fill up a plate of roast so big, the potions were perfect and individual gravy...

What a lovely meal we had with all our family (and the dog Milly). The quality of the food and service was great. Would highly recommend it.

Just had Mother's Day lunch and I can’t remember the last time I had such an absolutely lovely meal . The food was good quality and well cooked. The staff happy and courteous and we were not rushed at all. We will be going back as soon as.

Another great meal. Staff were fantastic and food was excellent! No complaints and dietary requirements catered for.

Nice food and drink, good service. But, it is a pet hate of mine when a restaurant add a 10% service charge to bill without asking. I would have left a tip, but wanted it to be my choice. For this reason I am not sure I would go back again.

Good food and good service. Would recommend for a nice pub meal with friends or family. We will be back and telling everyone about this pub.

Very nice place, good service, very nice staff. Halloumi cheese was tough-overcooked & chips dry--didn't seem to be freshly cut so my food disappointing.

Took my wife for her 60th birthday meal, utterly fantastic! We're not local by any means, but we'll be making the effort to eat here much more regularly from now on. Phil.

Wonderful home cooked food. One of those pubs you forget about. Not a huge menu. Rather a small menu cooked than a large choice and its rubbish. Good goods come in small quantities. 👏

We had a lovely meal and the food and service was fantastic . We will come again and highly recommend others to do the same. Thankyou

Great service as always. The pie was perfect, beautiful crust! Delicious filling and plenty of it. Burger was best in class and very well presented.

We were so lucky to ring up and get booked in for the same evening. What a lovely experience. Welcomed by a friendly and helpful young guy and lady. Nice cosy atmosphere. We had the duck main followed by ice cream. Both were delicious. I...

There is a reason I drive an hour to come to the Fur and Feathers, it is truly wonderful. First and foremost the staff are delightful, polite, professional and attentive without being over powering. Then we come to the food! A fantastic, well balanced and...

Great Menu catering from Carnivores to Vegans successfully in our party. Great family owned enterprise

I came to this pub many years ago. It was a welcoming pub with open fire and cosy. Not any more. Like many pubs nowadays they rely on food sales and if you aren't buying food, you aren't welcome. Gentlemen behind the bar in braces...

Lovely family run pub, good homemade food selection, will definitely come again

The Fur and Feathers did us proud, putting on a great spread after a family funeral. We very much hope to return again under different circumstances to enjoy what I'm sure will be an excellent meal. Thank you guys for a great job yesterday.

Outstanding pub atmosphere, very friendly staff and excellent food. A really nice family run pub with some attention to detail and excellence. Great menu and local brews on offer as well. Would highly recommend.

Went for an evening meal with my wife. Easy to book and very welcoming when we arrived. This venue is warm and comfortable but it is really a restaurant rather than a pub in my opinion these days. Staff were friendly and attentive throughout the...

Thoroughly recommend the Fur & Feathers. We visited this evening with friends for a birthday and had a great meal. Both the food, atmosphere and service were fantastic, we had such a good evening.

We love our visits to the fur and feathers, last week we ordered the Baked Tunworth which has plenty of bread, fruit and chilli jam. For our mains we chose Lobster Thermidor which was served with lovely chunky chips and a colourful salad. All round...
