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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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'.
