The Furze Bush Inn in Basingstoke and Deane

A great place to meet with friends for a meal and drinks. Excellent food and friendly staff in a beautiful setting. A really oldywordy pub/restaurant.

Amazing food! The steak and ale pie was incredible, a warm welcome from the bartender and a roaring fire, such a lovely pub we will be back again 😁

If visiting Highclere Castle or even close to Newbury….You MUST stay here. Our experience after canceling reservation at another Location (they didn’t have AC) has been amazing! Reservations were efficient. The photos on light do not show haw charming this Inn really is. Our adventure starts at the train station where Richard picked us up in his local taxi. Not only did he take us The Furze Bush he waited while we dropped off our luggage before heading over to Highclere Castle. He said we could call him, and he would gladly pick us up when we were finished our tour. He did just that returned us to the Inn and nothing but exceptional service at the Inn. The restaurant had a “non- boring” menu, so it made dinner choices difficult. Everything was delicious and the 2 young lads who waited on us could not have been more charming, funny and personable. Our room was spotless, and the slipper bathtub was amazing. My last night of vacation included a hot soak in this amazing treat. Next morning (we only stayed one night) we called Richard to see if he would drive us to Heathrow. Agan, more exceptional service. Our only regret we didn’t stay longer…..but for sure we will be back and will tell everyone this place is EXCEPTIONAl!

Not tried the rooms yet as it's pretty local to us

We were allowed to park our motorhome in the car park without charge. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant in very comfortable and welcoming surroundings. A lovely country pub. Would recommend!

Nice food, staff makes you feel welcome

Stopped during the summer holidays with two kids for lunch, lovely welcome and super cute pub in a lovely location. The kids loved the playground and the food we had was good quality nicely prepared pub food. Good job.

Food is excellent and lovely staff too. Recommend

I booked the queen room because it was the only one left available the room was huge the bed was a very good night's sleep the photo's of the pub don't do it justice it's a lot bigger outside they have a well cut grass with area's left to nature the beer garden was full of songbirds a robin joined me for lunch the food is excellent the staff are very good can not do enough for you even when they are extremely busy a nice place to drop off the planet for a hour or two

Gorgeous place, warm and cozy. Fabulous food. Awesome service.

Loved this little inn. The pub is a local one and the people are so friendly.

£4.20 for a pint of lime and soda!!

Pleasant location. Pub is very nice, yummy food. The rooms are very basic and a bit on the tatty side but comfy and quiet. Service is very friendly.

Had a Sunday lunch on 26th May, by far the best roast lamb and roast potatoes I have had in a long time and a real plate full of food. Three was 6 of us and everyone was happy with the food.

Visited for Sunday Lunch. Great food, ambience and friendly, polite staff. Beer garden to the front, and children's play area to the rear. Plenty of parking. Generous portions. Hopefully I will return when I'm next in West Berkshire/Hampshire area. Also Dog Friendly so will bring my Cocker next time. Excellent experience. Highly recommended.

So, When i went the staff were really nice and the wait time not too long, but the cheese on my cheese burger was WAY too melted and was really white with small, green spots, but the meat in the burger was fine and good. So 3 stars it is.

Called in for lunch after walking in a nearby woods. Good, old fashioned pub. Lots of parking. Pub grub, chips, puds, tea pots, ect . Friendly service. Welcoming locals ;)

Lovely local pub, delicious food, Friendly staff

Popped in for some lunch … excellent!

Good local pub but food is getting pricey, gastropub prices but not the quality unfortunately.

Very welcoming staff. Just popped in for a drink and it had a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Lovely friendly country pub! With a small plates menu suitable for smaller appetites, just right for a lunch time visit

Lovely atmosphere, great food , nice selection of drinks and a beautiful garden

Just about perfect, could just do with a small table or chairs in the vast bathroom to put your wash bag on.

Food was very scrumptious and there was a live squid and a friendly cat that ate my soup it also let me stroke it

Lovely rural setting, friendly staff and very nice food

Delicious Sunday meal with family. Delightful staff. Always enjoy coming here as a treat.

Great Xmas dinner, l tried a veg roast my first..an excellant choice. Will be bring my family here....

Staff were lovely, came here for my grandads 80th and the staff were so welcoming, atmosphere is warm and cozy. Amazing food!

Lovely pub, good food - just the job, thank you.

Lovely find on the way back from down south. Very warm welcome including our 2 dogs, the food was excellent best Sunday roast out for a long long time. Great selection of gluten free options. Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back.

If you're looking for a friendly country pub in beautiful countryside with accommodation this is the place to stay. We were made welcome from the very start with a smiling greeting from our hostess until we left after breakfast. All the young staff were extremely helpful and friendly, especially Lucy N and Brandon. Would definitely recommend.

Food and place is lovely, would come back. Great staff.

Excellent meal and cosy by the fire. A real pub atmosphere. Quiet and relaxing.

Good food and atmosphere. Only minor complaint is the chairs are so uncomfortable!

Held my 70th birthday here today the pub staff were absolutely brilliant, the food excellent and a great day all round by had by nearly 70 guests. Nothing was too much trouble despite numbers changing in 24 hours before the event, necessitating changing seating arrangements at short notice Huge thanks to all staff and management

We were recommended this place for a Sunday Roast dinner by couple we'd just met and were not disappointed! The food tastes as good as it looks, the staff were really friendly and the atmosphere was relaxing. It's a lovely location near The Chase, perfect to visit after a Sunday stroll 😁
