The Queen Inn in Basingstoke and Deane

We had a really lovely meal at the Queen Inn, from the warm welcome on our arrival, the friendly and attentive service from Izzy and of course, the delicious food. There is a good variety of choice on the menu and the specials board tempted us all. This was our first visit to the Queen Inn and we will definitely be back.

A group of 4 of us booked in for dinner. It’s a convenient halfway location for us to meet up, just off the motorway. We had a really lovely meal and the service from Izzy was great. The menu has some good staples but there were also specials and the dessert board was very pleasing! It’s a cosy, traditional kind if pub with welcoming staff and very good food.

Excellent Sunday roast as always, lovely atmosphere in a cosy country pub. Wonderful service from everyone. Thanks Jo for your care today.

Nice cosy pub managed to accommodate us even though we hadn't booked. Sat by the open wood fire instead of the restaurant wasn't too much trouble. Waitresses Izzy and Hannah were friendly and professional.Food was well presented and yummy

We had a great time here tonight. All 3 of us had chicken and mushroom pies which were delicious with lovely mash, veg and gravy. The service was really friendly! Thanks so much Queen’s Inn!

Came to the Queen Inn as a half way point on our travels with high expectations as previous reviews were good. We arrived and were instantly greeted by the most loveliest women who couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful! We ordered the roast beef and omg is all I can say! From the crispy and fluffy potatoes to the beautifully tender beef, everything was exceptional, full of flavour and the generous portion sizes and lashings of gravy was great. Despite not living locally, we would 100% travel the hour from home to come here again!

Met with an old friend for a long overdue catch up, and can honestly say one of the nicest pub meals I've had in a very long time. I chose something I wouldn't normally have, sausage, mash & veg, my friend chose steak. The sausages were very flavoursome and the veg were cooked to perfection, only drawback were courgettes (I don't like them) but my friend was happy to take them from me. Lovely little place with a lovely village atmosphere, we will definitely be back

Another lovely visit to The Queen Inn, this time for Sunday roast and I couldn't reccomend it enough! Generous portions of delicious home made food, in a wonderful country pub - perfect! I would note, that they are unable to add tips to card payments so make sure you have some cash with you.

We ate here on my husband's birthday 8 of us! the service was a little slow but worth waiting for .The food was lovely my chicken and asparagus pie was wonderful.

Wow, just had the most delicious and very large portion Sunday roast and baked cheesecake 😋 staff were lovely, thankyou 😁

After just one dispointing meal here out of so many we went back and were so pleased we did, Liz the lovely manager greeted us with open arms and a drink on the house as the last meal we had there wasnt up to their usual mega high standard, due to change of chefs. we were treated like royalty and the food was incredible, so much so we went again the following week and again, were more than over the moon with the choses of specials, the service and wonderful food as always and cant wait to go back and indulge again in my fav place to eat in Basingstoke !

Since moving to Hatch Warren 3 years ago, the Queen Inn has always been our go-to pub for celebrations as well as informal catch ups with family and friends, and we’ve always had a great experience. The food is always spot on (the pies and roasts are particular favourites!). It’s reasonably priced for the quality, it’s incredibly cosy, and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. The only thing I would comment is that I believe tips are currently only accepted in cash which has caught us out a few times as we’re notoriously bad for relying on cards, and we feel bad for not being able to offer the staff the reward they deserve!

The type of beautiful English Country Pub that serves amazing food that's not run of the mill. The treacle pudding rounded it all off nicely. Friendly service with a great choice of beer. I envy the people who live close by.

Good menu and well cooked food. Excellent service. Highly recommend this as a lunch destination.

A very nice lunch 😋 with our granddaughters excellent food and excellent service we will definitely come back 😀 P.S. Excellent Chicken Caesar salad 🥗

Great Pub out of the way but close to the M3. Lovely staff, great food and drinks with a friendly welcoming atmosphere

Excellent service and excellent Caesar salade.

what can i say fantastic food, fantastic staff and Liz the boss fantastic. there were 11 of us and they coped with ease. all meals came out one after the other and piping hot. the prices were very reasonable. will definitely be back thank you to Liz and staff

We came here on a recommendation and we were not disappointed. Lovely friendly staff. Quaint place with beams and log fire. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Would certainly recommend to others and would certainly go back. However closed on a Monday booking recommended as looks like it’s popular.

Nice place and fabulous food. I had a delicious strogonoff and a waffle with ice and hot chocolate for dessert. Everything was excelent! Very nice people also.

I never normally put a review in on Tripadvisor but wanted to say how amazing Liz and her team are at the Queens. I visit every week as the food and service are amazing and to see just how hard the team work to make everyone’s experience perfect I feel they deserve a mention. The food is always amazing (good portions and always hot) and they cater for vegetarians and also make our dog welcome (he treats the bar like his second home and always waits for his treat 🤣) I just want to give them a mention as they deserve some credit for how hard they all work!

Love going to The Queens Inn, food great.

Traditional Olde English Pub. All the food served was exceptional especially the Sunday lunch. Perfectly cooked beef, yorkshires & a lovely selection of vegetables including carrots, parsnips, red cabbage, cauliflower cheese, broccoli & excellent gravy. Salmon mousse starter was also excellent & a good selection of very nice desserts. Beer also excellent & well kept. More than happy to recommend.

The atmosphere is lovely and the food is delicious but as someone with a gluten free diet the menu has become quite limited over time. They used to be very accommodating and if you called up in advanced they could sort a gf alternative like the fish and chips but they don’t anymore. Not even their chips are gluten free! Bit of a shame

A regular haunt for me. Always excellent 👌

Always a good atmosphere and a clean sweep in the raffle and quiz for our team 😃

We had a great time at the Queen Inn the food was absolutely delicious and the service excellent. All of our party had the same opinion and could not rate the experience any higher. It really is a special place and we will definitely return. Thanks so much

First time ever having a bad meal here was very disappointed - we went for sunday lunch which is always my go to love it here but the meat was undercooked and the chicken skin was fatty the veg was rock hard the potatoes were massively undercooked and got 2 of them ! yorkshire was sloppy and burnt - we did mention it to the staff but little was said other than sorry and considering we are regulars here would have thought it at least deserved a drink on the house or discount but no ! we usually recomend this place to everyone but wont be returning for a roast again - such a shame

Lovely traditional pub. Food very good beer fine. Great for lunch especially as just off M3.

Always such a welcoming pub, great atmosphere and the food is delicious, lovely staff x

Nice traditional inn, good food, good atmosphere. Very big fireplace there 😍😍😍

Booked ahead for a table for 2. We both had a roast dinner and can say it was superb, nice atmosphere, good service, friendly staff. We shall return...

Great place to dine out and food is lovely 😍

We haven't seen Lydia and the team for a while but the food, service and value for money remains the same as ever. Always worth a visit.

Best roast I have had in Basingstoke and surrounding area for years. Food was fantastic, really couldn’t fault a single thing. The staff were amazing and for two courses and drinks I would have expected to pay more! Havent stopped recommending it to people since going and will definitely be returning.

Food was very nice, portion size is small, especially rice, service charge is 12.5%The staff were not very attentive, I had to keep attracting their attention to get service

I really like it here. They have a very traditional menu with classic pub offerings. The Sunday Lunch I had was fantastic. Piping hot and so much food I has no chance of leaving hungry. I would call ahead as they are very popular.

Had a really good meal this time last year but this time it was extremely poor. Unfortunately we were told at the time of booking we would have to have the Xmas menu big mistake the turkey was dry, the roast potatoes awful in fact everything came on the plate it was like canteen food and certainly not cheap The starters weren't much better either. Certainly won't be rushing back

A lovely country pub with a great atmosphere.

Good service,delivered in good time and tasted yummy.

Great authentic English pub 👍🏻. Just down the road from where I live so will be returning 😀.

Very good beer. Nice traditional pub. No background music and good parking. Lovely table by an antique fire place burning g lovely wood logs. Not quite 5*. My main of the suet steak pie was a little light on meat and the service was too slow. We arrived soon after 12.00. Coffee did not come until just before the 15.00 final orders bell. But I really liked the decor and feel of analogy traditional pub!

Visited several times for lunch. Lovely restaurant, lovely staff and the food is always fantastic! Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent service and hearty portions.

Amazing 16th century restaurant! Very cozy and lovely inside. Super delicious meals! There is parking available as well

Just been for Sunday Roast today. 10 of us on the run up to Christmas. Food was amazing, staff were spot on and not silly expensive so thank you and well done!!!

Really lovely food and good service

Lovely country pub,food was excellent and the staff so very friendly and nice.would highly recommend a visit.

Absolutely outstanding Sunday lunch at this hidden gem of a pub in Dummer, Hampshire. Roast Turkey was perfectly cooked, moist and great flavour with a generous portion size, together with attentive and polite staff, a selection of beers and wine it really was a Sunday lunch to remember. Even the TV personality Phil Tufnell was in honouring a charity commitment that the landlady Liz had kindly donated for Parkinson's, so it must be a great spot !! Would highly recommend it to anyone.

We went today hoping for a traditional Sunday lunch and that's what we got. The service was great, the food was delicious, with generous portions & served hot. We will definitely go back.

A nice pub with a good atmosphere and very friendly and efficient staff. The food is typical pub grub and is very tasty. Well worth a visit but would advise you to book in advance.

Before lockdown this pub was a favourite for dinner having great food and ambience. We were surprised at how the place had changed. The food was good but run of the mill pub grub with a few specials a real change from the past. But the real shocker was the stare of the place, frankly it was run down and cold. The walls and fairy light cables were festooned with cobwebs, the fire unlit and the only apparent source of heat a plug in oil filled radiator. So different from the past. The staff were very pleasant and as we said the food good. But the place could do with clean and given the time of year, some decent heating.

Me and my husband have just had lunch here today and the food was amazing and so was the staff.

We had a loving night with family and enjoyed a nice meal and friendly staff and a good laugh taking part in the pub quiz. We haven’t been to the pub in years (pre covid was last visit) - it seems less of a foody place to be 100% honest. But despite the good offerings being a little more standard pub like….the atmosphere was nice and friendly and the staff were really kind and welcoming. Thank you guys a well earned 4 star review!

Great pub food and very friendly staff.

The Best food - they fitted us in as it was my birthday last minute on a Sunday - we were let down elsewhere - Fantastic staff, food, service. Will be back frequently

Girls lunch. A lovely pub with great friendly staff. I had the burger my friend had a sandwich ham and mustard. Lovely selection of drinks and food is home made we will be back

Went for an afternoon roast as recommend by a friend and it didn't disappoint, me and my wife both went for the trio of meats roast which consisted of beef pork belly and chicken, lots of vegetables and a massive Yorkshire pudding. The staff were brilliant and great selection of on tap beers and ciders in a proper pub.

My friend and I visit this pub every few months as it is half way between where we both live. We ALWAYS order the same drinks and food and even though we go infrequently we are always recognised and welcomed with a smile. The roast beef sandwiches are the best I have ever had. A little gem of a pub.

Good pub to visit, nice surroundings and atmosphere in the village of Dummer. Food is quite good, people are lovely. Would go there again.

Great country pub. Food was excellent and not as expensive as other pubs in the area. Friendly staff.

The staff did a fabulous job feeding our large group. The food was delicious and the atmosphere warm and friendly. Highly recommend!!

Great traditional village pub with fab food & service.

Wonderful Sunday Roast. Great traditional pub with good service.

Our group of 21 people booked for lunch, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the high quality food, which came in generous portions. The service was excellent, and the ambience in this lovely inn, with its beamed ceiling, tasteful furniture, and old English atmosphere is wonderful. This is one of my favourite pubs,

By far the best place to drink and dine within miles When my partner asks where can I take you out to eat I always ask here never ever been disappointed The best food so much choice and wonderful warm welcoming staff

Great pub with built in micro brewery and good selection of beers.

Went twice within a week, Sunday lunch, very busy and Tuesday lunch, a little quieter. Probably the 6th or 7th time my extended family has eaten here and ALWAYS thoroughly loved our food. The Sunday lunch girls worked their socks off and were absolutely brilliant. This is my second 5 star for this pub. Always try and visit when I visit my mum in a nearby village when we come down from Grantham. There is one very annoying niggle I have and I hope the management can change their policy. They will not let you add a tip to your bill when paying by card. Society is becoming more cashless, and I wanted to tip our superb waiting staff well. Unfortunately, they got far less with the few quid we could, (embarrassingly,) coddle together. I get there is a minor charge, but crikey, please consider a change!! Nomatter what, we will always return to this beautiful, proper pub, nestled in a quintessential country village. Thanks again.

The Queen Inn is as special an English pub that one could find. It is nestled in Dummer Village, a place that dates back to 1087 and is full of thatched roof houses and was often visited by Jane Austen. The pub is run by a lovely woman who has a keen mindset toward service and good tradition pub food. Don’t miss the bangers and mash, and the specials on the menu add a very nice touch. It’s a reasonably priced menu and the food portions are great value. Do not miss it if you are anywhere near the area. It’s a real find! Easy access off the M3 motorway.

Amazing food good portions well presented and a warm welcome.

Very nice meal at the Queen Inn, shared a baked camembert starter and had a steak and ale pie for main, would have had a pudding but was to full to fit one in!

What a beautiful and historic pub - great food and good service! We visited with a group of friends traveling to the UK for a British Isle cruise and tour.

Great meal on Sunday ... Beautiful roast, great service, and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately it was completely ruined by the table of 5 that turned up. 3 women with the loudest screeching laughs, 2 guys bellowing over the screeching .... Everyone in the restaurant was turning and staring. We were almost unable to hold a normal conversation over their shrieking! Totally unnecessary and unfortunately out of the control of the staff. I almost said something but feared abuse so didn't bother. They marred a lovely lunch out!

Good food, served quickly in pleasant surroundings by helpful staff.

Had 2 amazing roasts here 2 Sundays in a row. Food was cooked perfectly. Ingredients top quality and portion sizes plentiful.the homemade crumble is an a massive favourite of mine. All staff a friendly and efficient. Will be making this restaurant a regular on our visit list

Great find. Staff and food was amazing. We'll definitely be back.

This is definitely the best Sunday roast ever! The beef was spectacular! Lovely service a perfect Sunday lunch

Pre booked a table for two to have a meal with a friend. The table we were shown to had been put up against a bench type seat with us both sat side by side looking on to the end of a table that had been arranged for a party of 6+. There was no way one of us could sit facing the other to talk. I felt like we had been shoehorned in and were spectators of the large group on the table opposite us! The food was delivered swiftly and was good. Once we had received our food the waitress checked back to see if everything was ok. After that we couldn’t get the attention of any of the waitresses as they moved from one large party on one table to the next. In the end we got up and went to the bar to ask for our bill. We would have had further drinks if we could have gained the attention of one of the waitresses but decided to move on as that was not going to happen. I have had good service and food here on a number of occasions previously but was very disappointed this time. It was a shame as this is one of my locals pubs. Not sure I’ll be rushing back in a hurry now.

What a shocker! Stopped on a way to the hospital, wanted a treat and , as so many give good reviews, I expected a lot. The service was dire. Nobody came to check if the food is ok and the pub was not even half full.., the food was bland and poorly prepared, served. My new potatoes were replaced by … chips??!!! For a salad??? The salmon tasted horrid and tasteless. There was not much of the beetroot either… just random veg thrown together. “The sauce” did not have any brie - it was just a splash of cheap mayo! “The crispy” pork was NOT crispy, it was bland and “the sauteed” potatoes were just some old roasties… the gravy was also completely flavourless. The place is dirty, cobwebs handing behind the seats , around pictures and on walls and , even around the radiator standing in the corner . The tables were so sticky my arms stuck to them??? Even if they cover the tables with something that looks like a toilet paper(??!) . When I asked to take the remainder of the salad with me the waitress returned with a shocking old container (???!) obviously I am not going to eat from some stained old overused plastic takeaway container..looks older than my grandmother. I have wanted a treat before the hospital and all I got was an overpriced , bland and not fitting the description on the menu food! I wanted to try the roast many praise but I will avoid this place now for sure. Shame for my wasted time and money

What an absolute gem of a find! we drove by looking for a nice pub with Sunday roast and the Queen Inn delivered beyond our expectation. Portion size was HUGE and price was really affordable. We ordered the white bait, chicken and beef roasts and all cooked to perfection with a massive assortment of delicious vegetables, yorkshires and even stuffing! Pop by, you won’t regret it!

We both had Fillet Steak, which was FAB U LUS! Drink service was slightly slow initially but otherwise would highly recommend!

Fab food service excellent couldn’t fault it

Friendly service. Good selection of wines by the glass. Slightly disappointing menu, not really very imaginative, but the food was tasty and nicely presented. Very quiet for a Saturday night. Perhaps everyone else was in the garden.

We joined the charity night for shaggy on Wednesday, we were amazed by the quality of the food, fantastic

2nd time of going but group of 7 of us 4 wanting steak and they had run out so a little disappointed understand they had a large party in but wouldn't they have known that before hand:(

Good traditional pub with solid menu

Had a family meal there last night for fish friday, amazing food, lovely staff, definitely return

Good/friendly service and great food with a good xhoice

Popped in this afternoon for a Sunday Roast after a beautiful weekend away in Dorset. We had lamb Kofta fir starters and roast Beef dinner. It was superb highly recommend for a lovely roast top class. Ronni x

Good wholesome food and excellent service. Really enjoyed our meal here while visiting from Cornwall.

Popped in for a quick pint and Camino Stamp

Great traditional country pub. Friendly welcome and quick service. Food was really hot, tasty and plentiful. Also great value, especially compared to the big pub chains. Hard to fault, although there wasn't a huge selection of real ales. However, there were about 40 different gins available! Car park is a little cramped, but then there's plenty of on street parking along the road if it's full.

The best Sunday Lunch anywhere....and I've had plenty!!

Amazing food, great portion sizes too!! Staff were very friendly too. Will definitely be coming back!!

Lovely atmosphere, and very full, perhaps due to the Mothers Day weekend. Great pint of beer (Tommy Taylors). As walkers completing the route from Reading to Southampton, part of the pilgrimage journey, Camino Inglés de Santiago, it was a shame that licensee's attitude was clearly that of someone 'slightly irritated' by just lunchtime drinkers 'taking up space', however temporarily. Perhaps next time, the experience will be less 'school mam-ish'.

Very pleasant staff, lovely food, served hot and quickly and lovely ambience and setting.

Lovely building, excellent food, and first class unobtrusive friendly service. Highly recommend this pub.

Very nice village pub. Didn’t eat but food did look very good indeed.

Excellent Festive lunch in great surroundings. Will be back soon

Lovely food, great atmosphere & great service in a tiny little village...love this place
