What a find. Had a great night with lovely supper, spotless bedroom and bathroom. Breakfast was perfect as well. All freshly decorated. Highly recommended and already booked 2 more stays.

Ten of us had a fantastic family meal at the New Inn. The service was excellent, friendly with the food and drink served quickly. The food was really tasty with good sized portions, the right size for a 3 course meal.

Just wanted to leave a review to say what a lovely place this is. In my time there I spoke with 4 members of staff, all of whom were very friendly and great ambassadors for the place. The food was really nice and the place is decorated beautifully. Was very warm (on a very cold day : ) and one lady in particular (I wish I could remember her name) was especially helpful and caring with my friend who had mobility issues. We will definitely be back!

Our WI lunch club visited today for lunch. Originally there were 10 of us, but after some late joiners we ended up with 14. We were worried that as the restaurant was busy, we may have had a long wait for service, but no, orders were taken, and the food arrived in next to no time. Everyone was served virtually together, and the food was excellent.

We called in without booking on a Saturday lunchtime and were lucky to get a lovely sunny spot outside. I ordered the chicken caesar wrap and my husband the duck wrap - both were filled abundantly and also came with fries. Absolutely delicious and so generously filled we were stuffed! Two drinks each and lunch - really good value for money! Thank you guys we will be back for more!!

Went here for Sunday lunch. One meat eater, one vegetarian and one fish eater. Menu isn't huge but there is plenty to cater for everyone. The veggie Sunday lunch was roasted celeriac with mushroom gravy which was excellent, delicious. The vegetables were all dente, which I love as they retain their flavour, Yorkshire nice and gravy yummy. Pork with crackling also got a huge thumbs up as did the fish curry. Fan food, excellent service and a great welcome on arrival.

The food and service here were great. The staff friendly and professional and the restaurant very busy in Saturday lunchtime and evening whilst we were there. The room unfortunately was overpriced for what it was and set our expectations accordingly. It was perfect toy functional but not pleasant. The bathroom was very basic and needed a good clean (it probably had been at some stage and then left and not dusted before we arrived), had broken tiles and very basic fixtures. The room was fine but not to the standard of £180 rate. We coped but it was disappointing.

We found ourselves in a situation with no electricity at home and the need to work. We came here to get some food and ended up staying the day in a quiet corner with our laptops. Of course we had food and drink and both were amazing and the service was fantastic. Thank you so much for accommodating us. It really helped us a lot.

This restaurant promised so much. We met with friends for a Sunday lunch at 1 with a reserved table. The table position was lovely in a bay window. The initial table reception was OK if slow in coming, ordering then took another 10 minute wait. With starters and mains (we all had the Sunday roast options) ordered at the same time, starter delivery was another 15 minutes. Main courses arrived about half an hour later. All the meals looked fine, but upon trying to eat any of it we found most of the meat to be unchewable, the roast potatoes to be hardly able to be penetrated by a knife (3 out of 4 left theirs) and then only allowing the minimal amount of potato to be scraped from the rock hard crust, the Yorkshire pudding was a similar situation with only the least hard part of the base and some of the rest of the pudding edible. The vegetables, carrot, greens and cauliflower cheese, were again all too inedible to be enjoyed. Ice creams and pudding were a happy break from such a dire and unappetising meal. £160 for 4, with drinks bought at the bar before? So disappointing, we won't be going back and won't be recommending. Such a shame there is no 0 rating.

What a disaster this pub is. For years it was mediocre at best but at least tried to be a local pub. Now it's been taken over by the new owners from the 'world renowned' The Hoggett. Yes, basically another local pub that was renowned for poor service and quality. The food at this pub has consistently been dire and the staff (Ben aside) are a horrible lynch mob that run you out of the pub once it hits 10pm then actually assaults you in their own car park..On top of that the local 'pub watch' then ban you from all local pubs because the owners felt that you weren't accepting enough of their physical and verbal abuse. Well, the people vote their feet The New 'Hoggett' Inn and you, will go the same route as the other failures before you. Oh by the way, scrap the plastic plants, they're extremely distasteful.

I had the lamb and it looked like a dead toad served on a bed of mash get smashed potatoes. The paid staff were great and earned their well deserved tips. But the food was rubbish and the choice of beers and wine was clearly down to who sponsors this pub. At the end after the Bernarnd Matthews roast turkey with a pig in blanket and 4 sprouts that were the only edible item on the plate after the sugar coated other vegetables. The end was great, the New Inn good people saw us off with empty glasses, because they closed the bar (at 10.15) so we had to get in our taxis and wish them a happy chrishmas. Thanks the New Inn, I won't return and I will spread the word that you run a terrible establishment.

We looked for a pub to stop for dinner on our way back to our hotel and came across The New Inn. Looked fine from the outside and the menu appeared to have a good choice. That’s the positives over!We sat inside as a young lad appeared to be a bit jolly and smoking in the garden area. This lad was far from entertaining without a top on and hands down his trousers. It transpired he was barred! Though that didn’t stop him coming in and confronting the manager/Landlord. He got aggressive and called him a f***ing c**t - just what you need when you sit down as a family. He eventually left.The staff were friendly and helpful. Though the atmosphere was dead and you could hear all their conversations. The music choice was interesting too. A couple of tracks were full of swearing. Again, not what you want when you sit down with your family.The food was poor and hugely overpriced. The price of a drink was shocking too. The starters came out so quick it was obviously just heated up. The chicken skewers were rubbery/chewy. The mains were not much better. The pie was a soggy mess, drowned in gravy probably in an attempt to add flavour. The one bit of broccoli, one bit of cauliflower and two bits of carrot were a little disappointing as a vegetable selection. The duck stir fry was a plate of grease. Poor food, over priced, clearly not popular as the place was almost empty at dinner time - we should have walked out after walking in - lesson learnt.

We both went for pizza and it was delicious, large too. The other 2 meals were a mixed grill and gammon steak, they were great too. We shared the butchers board for starter that was nice with good selection. Would recommend and will return.

Came out within 10 mins of ordering, the yorkshires where ice cold - parts still frozen. You could suck the veg through your teeth and we all had different veg to each other. The lamb was tough and the pork came with no crackling even though we checked it did before ordering. There was no seasoning to anything and the gravy was very poor.We as the manager to replace the yorkshires and he went to pick them off our plates but stopped himself when he saw our shocked looks. When he came back the replacements were burnt on top. The pub itself is very run down and really needs some love and care, lots of chair cushions were threadbare. We were also seated by a door with a little one and every time someone went to the loo we were hit with an icy blast. Sad because I have been and had the ribs before which are great!

Visited this week and what a lovely evening we enjoyed, great menu choice and good service. From select choices of meats and fish to specials a really good range, we went in for one course but enjoyed 3 courses of quality.

Visited on a Saturday lunchtime with a walking group. Had pre-ordered but were pleasantly surprised at how quickly our food was delivered. I chose the Chicken supreme. The sauce was gorgeous. My fellow diners were complimentary about their dishes too. The menu had a great range including many vegetarian options. Excellent service too. Recommended.

Wanted to meet family here half way between us and booked table for Saturday lunchtime; when arrived 1.45pm no one else dining there at all and while we were there only one other table occupied; very worried we had done the wrong thing; but staff extremely helpful and friendly; but good menu; not many wines but the usual stand bys on the list and not overpriced; all in all we had a good time and recommend it but apparently not on a day it is for some strange and unjustified empty.

Second visit here with friends today and we all enjoyed it as much as our first visit last month. The menu is really good with some nice varied dishes on offer.Service is excellent and we were made to feel most welcome. We will certainly be coming back.

I must say I am rather shocked at some of the poor reviews. We first discovered this place whilst bypassing Basingstoke after visiting our son in Southampton. We stoped and had an excellent meal never dreaming that we would end up moving house, living a mile away from it and it becoming our local. The night we moved, we stayed in the hotel. My son helped with the moved and stayed, too. The evening meal was as good as previously. Our rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast was quick and served by the same evening staff. I discovered that they lived in quarters upstairs. Since then, we have regulary gone there, on our own, with friends, with family. The staff always greet us with friendly smiles and work very hard as it is a popularly place. The rump steak is always delicious and tender and I am a fussy one when it comes to steaks! It's made me realise not to take much notice of negative reviews and to concentrate on the good ones as they are probably the more realistic. The New Inn is a good all rounder.

First time visit for lunch with friends today and we were all very impressed. Nice selection of varied dishes on the menu and there is even a lighter option menu which was very good value. Service was good and efficient and we all felt that our custom was appreciated. We will certainly come back again.

We have been trying out the places by us to find the best fry up and came here. I booked a table as I knew it was going to be busy, drinks and food order taken quickly and no waiting to get seated. What I didn’t expect was it to take over 20 minutes for us to get the drinks order after watching the two other couples seated considerably after us get theirs first and for me to have to prompt a waitress. When they arrived it was only half the order of drinks and told us the coffee will be with us shortly. Ironically enough when the coffee turned up another five minutes later the waitress stated “didn’t have to wait too long then”. Which made us speechless. During the wait we were sat near the terrace doors which a few of the staff kept leaving open. Granted - if you’re taking food out it’s understandable. However a couple of them were empty handed and being lazy, the older waiter did make an effort to close it. The food turned arrived about 30 minutes after ordering and was really nice albeit not that warm and the whole delay on the drinks but a damper on it. To follow on from the door saga - whilst trying to eat the breakfast a specific waitress kept leaving the door open letting gusts of cold wind in making the food colder. After I got up for the third time to close it and my boyfriend told the girl to stop leaving it open it only stopped once I told the older waiter what kept happening. Safe to say for the price of the food, I would expect better service and the staff to have more common sense - so we won’t be returning!

Hi, for various reasons I requested if a certain zero % drink was available. Vicky and the team have gone the extra mile to help. Very much appreciated and great customer service

Excellent! Lovely hidden gem with polite staff and great food. I’m hoping to get a seat for their roast dinner.
