The Star Inn in Basingstoke and Deane

Had a Sunday lunch and it was great,

Been here before and enjoyed the pub/restaurant setting as well as the good quality food, unfortunately we do not live that close to the pub, so on the way back from Basingstoke shopping centre decided to come back. Was not disappointed again the pub/restaurant was so welcoming with a log fire lit and fairy lights on. Staff were very friendly and the food was so good quality, big portion and hot. Unfortunately these days it’s hard to find a pub/restaurant that serves good , hot food, but here they won’t disappoint. Well done, Thankyou

We went here for my birthday meal and the customer service was amazing food awesome and the atmosphere was nice and friendly. Highly recommend The Star Inn.

Food was lovely and Leanne our server was fantastic. A lovely meal out :)

Food was really enjoyable and well presented. Leanne was our waitress and was very efficient and polite.

Stop here every time traveling for work. Never disappoints food top notch, service can not fault. Thank you for a lovely visit

Had a relaxed and very tasty lunch with a friend today. Food was excellent and we had great friendly service from Chris. Would definitely recommend.

We had the most beautiful mouth watering, melt in your mouth, ribeye steak, cooked by the most loveliest and attentive chef, Chris. Served with upmost care and attention. We really had such a wonderful evening in this cozy and welcoming atmosphere! The chef made sure everything was cooked to a t, and the beef dripping sauce was just absolutely out of this world too! Will absolutely be heading back soon for another! I definitely recommend, 10 out of 10! Thankyou again so much!

This is a lovely spacious pub to meet up with friends and family. The lunchtime food we all enjoyed and very much appreciated excellent service from a pleasant guy called Chris.

Jayden was amazing!!! Really attentive and helpful for a very ruddy eater! Lovely.

Just can’t figure out all the whining everyone is saying about this place. I ate here the other day and had the fish and chips. It was excellent so was the service.

Excellent food, brilliant service. Jayden really looked after us and catered for our dietary needs with ease.

Really good food great service by Jayden

Brilliant evening with great food and amazing service- Jayden was really helpful and great fun to have served us

LOVELY FOOD - HAD THE BEEF SARNIE AND THE LASAGNE, GREAT SERVICE AND LOVELY SETTING

Amazing food. Friendly staff (Leanne) Will be back

Food was horrible and serve is shocking we also got wronged on the bill it absolutely shocking wouldn't recommend jeezz

We visited to celebrate and were not disappointed. The food was delicious, my husband had the ribeye steak and I had the lambshank, the steak was cooked exactly how my husband likes it. The food was served quickly and the staff were attentive. The pub has a lovely feel to it and had a very cosy feel.

A warm welcome by friendly staff and good value. I will definitely be revisiting soon

Jayden was great and so attentive!!

Sunday roasts were excellent. And the fresh (home made) apple and blackberry crumble was a triumph! Great service from Jayden. Thanks

Nice little place and the foods ok

Good food and Jayden provided terrific service. Would recommend.

Super cute pub, Ravi was lovely and very attentive. The food is delicious! Quiet atmosphere which was perfect for a coffee and some lunch. Have been here a few times and it’s always very lovely🥰

We had a family gathering on Saturday. Excellent parking. Warm welcome. Lovely waitress and waiter. How Emily got all our orders correct with numerous changes beats me. Nice tasty food.

Excellent service with a lovely smile, Jayden.

Wonderful family meal! Emily looked after us well!

Great atmosphere , delicious food and spacious parking lots. Excellent service from Leanne , she was so helpful and friendly. Thank you Leanne and will come again for sure .

It was so enjoyable! We were celebrating an important birthday and the manager and staff were wonderful in accommodating our party. Lovely food and atmosphere. Nothing to improve.

Went here for a large family lunch for my sisters birthday. Pre-ordered as we were a large group and all the food was fantastic, roast was really nicely cooked and kids meals were great. Jayden was exceptional, she was so kind and helpful at making sure everyone had correct meals and anything they needed. And when it came to sorting the cake she went the extra mile to make it everything so special. Really lovely and couldn’t recommend going here enough!

Enjoyed a big family meal (10 people) at The Star this weekend. Our server Jayden was brilliant and looked after us throughout our meal. We ordered our food and drinks quickly and the food arrived with no problems for any of us - that’s something when we were a big group. Thank you!

The meal was amazing. We were served by Jayden, who was always there for anything that we asked for. A++++

Excellent service from the manager. Warm welcome. Jayden our waitress was wonderful, helpful and kind. The food was very good. We order some starters and main course. Congratulations!

Great place for a family dinner, feels much nicer than most pubs and really good quality food, Jayden was a great server and really polite, been here a couple of times now and had great experience every time, see you soon :) ps chicken bites with chipotle jam starter are DELICIOUS!

We came for an early dinner. Lovely chilled meal, music not too loud. Great service from Jayden, very helpful and friendly.

I don't normally leave a review, but on this occasion I could not have a meal and leave a review Myself & my Dad visited the Star Inn last night for a meal and we certainly weren't disappointed. I had the Hunter's Chicken Schnitzel & my Dad had the Beef & Red Wine "Pie of the Day" which we both thoroughly enjoyed & we can both highly recommend. We can also recommend having the hot drink & mini pudding, if ever you don't feel like you can have a whole pudding these are a lovely way to finish any meal The interior of the pub is beautiful, cosy, welcoming & has a lovely dinning area. There was a lovely atmosphere last night for a relaxing meal and we had a very enjoyable evening Leanne was our server for the evening. She was very helpful & welcoming which made it a very enjoyable meal to both of us. She is very much a credit to the business as there was a power cut after receiving our mains, but there was no panic from Leanne as she made sure to light the tea lights on every table, so no-one was left in the dark. I am glad to report that after a little while the power did come back on and overall we had a lovely meal I would highly recommend visiting the Star Inn as you won't be disappointed & you will have a very enjoyable meal. We will be definitely be coming back!

We recently visited The Star Inn with my family, and from start to finish, it was a great experience. Booking was a breeze using the app, and I received a confirmation email right away. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and promptly shown to our table. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The interior of The Star Inn is beautiful, with a cozy and well-maintained dining area that instantly made us feel welcome. The atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing family meal, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our visit. Highly recommended!

the food was very tasty and service was prompt! Leanne was our server and she was very lovely :) will be coming back!!

The service was very bad from start to finish, the food was awful, and the bill was even worse.

Good Food Excellent Service - Polite and efficient server - we will definitely return during the week or on a Sunday lunchtime as the menu options are a bit limited on a Sunday evening which is 100% Understandable

Meal was lovely did not have to wait long. Lovely venue. Kerry our waitress was lovely.

Second visit never disappoint always great food and service

The food was nice - the atmosphere good and our young server who could speak Polish was excellent. I cannot fault the service and efficiency of our Server. A nice experience.

First time at Star Inn and definitely the last! Dinner was fine. Pudding was a joke. The portion size of the ice cream was the tiniest you can imagine. Service was very slow, although staff was polite. Once we finished dinner, we had to wait ages for someone to take plates away. Had to look for someone to order more drinks, puddings etc, and it wasn't busy at the time. It looked like our table was forgotten about the whole time. Also, music was very loud at times to the point we were unable to have a conversation. Unfortunately, not the experience we expected.

Lovely looking restaurant, nice decor and lights inside. Service was nearly non existent despite only having 4 tables and 3 servers. Roast dinner wasn't very nice, especially the potatoes.

English Pub grub on a cold Autumn day

Leanne made our anniversary so special with fantastic service! Thank you so much!

Made use of Vintage Inns 33% off voucher. So Very good value Friendly manager - Ravi. Will be back

Lovely pub, nice people, good service and great food.

I liked their cask ale and chicken burger.Not too tight in my pocket and the atmosphere here was quite nice.Will visit again.

Incredibly delicious food and ale! I liked the decor and the ambience of the place. The cask ale was some of the best I had! Definitely coming back here again ✌️

Was really nice to visit. The staff was friendly and the food was good. Perfect weather perfect place.

A lovely evening spent at the Star Inn. The staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was relaxed and cosy.

Leane was very helpful and welcoming. Great service.

Absolutely beautiful Sunday roast dinner here today. I had the trio of Pork belly, Beef and turkey. Delicious potatoes, parsnip, carrots and broccoli and a cute little jug of gravy. Enjoyed every single mouthful, not wanting it to end. This may become a weekly thing! Emily our server was lovely too.

Lovely pub, great food and amazing friendly service from Leanne. She is a credit to your team. We have been a few times now and always have Leanne serving us. We will definitely be back!!!

Went there for lunch and it was faultless. We were served by Wesley who couldn’t do enough for us. We’ll be back.

It's never a good sign when a food catering suppliers truck pulls out of the car park when you are driving in. I guess this is why the food was not very good as it was "Home Cooked" and not "Home Made" - very different in quality and taste. The restaurant is nice enough but has a feel of a Toby Grill / Harvester which is a shame as I bet at some point in it's history this Pub was a real authentic english place to eat/drink. Brilliant location if you are travelling between Newbury and Basingstoke but could be a lot better if they wanted to be....

The food was not very good and the place was not that clean especially the toilet. Will be driving on by in future I’m afraid!

Becca was great would recommend

Met family for Sunday lunch today (some of us had the roast and some had other mains). Lovely meal, food was great all round and staff were welcoming. Great service from Abi, friendly and efficient, without feeling rushed, thank you.

Twice we have been let down. First time service was awful. Service was slow. Gave it another go tonight. Booked, turned up and kitchen was shut. Said we booked. Was told that we could have fish and chips.... And one other choice. We didn't stay. Very bad customer service.

Really nice comfortable pub, good food, reasonably priced, friendly staff

Lovely food and Wesley was very attentive and helpful. So refreshing to see someone who is young being so helpful and friendly

Very efficient and quick service. Has lasagne which was very nice.

Service awful. No smiles. No nothing. Menu items not available but informed only when placing order not before. Food is average and way overpriced

Very disappointing, all drinks with ice were jammed packed with so much with very little actual drink. My pizza had hair in it, it was also very dry and cold when served. My partner had gammon steak which was over cooked and tasteless.

We were able to enjoy lunch here on our vacation trip. Our language barrier wasn't a big problem as we were warmly welcomed and everything we wanted to know was explained to us. The food was good. Price/performance OK. Thank you for the hospitality.

Thank you very much the food was great, cheers Chief and the service was spot on cheers Leanne we will visit again definitely

Excellent food. ONLY hiccup, when asked if we wanted another drink, I asked for full sugar (old fashioned!) coke but I was served DIET coke.Yuck!! However, I look forward to coming again!! Martin.

Came in for lunch yesterday with my work colleagues, although it was very busy our waitress Leanne was very friendly and attentive.

Came here yesterday for my mums birthday lunch. The service we recieved from Leanne was amazing!!!! It was quite busy and she seemed to be running around on her own, but nothing was too much trouble. Good food, we will be back

We were 3 people and had lunch today. We all chose from the lunch set menu. Food quality, service from Leanne and value for money all very good

Food was amazing great service lovely staff

Emily was a great waitress, We will be back soon😀

Had a cute little window seat for two which was lovely and private. It made for a lovely dinner out with mum! Kerry was our server and was quick, polite and friendly!

Lovely meal served by Wesley who was really professional and attended to our every need. 5* (Wesley should get a big raise !) 😌

The service was so good and the staff were a delight to deal with, I will certainly be coming for more drinks, big props to Leanne for making this a good experince!

Went here for lunch and received excellent service. The staff were helpful and the food came out very quickly after we ordered. The food was delicious. I had the fishcakes and they were incredible as was the chocolate brownie. The prices are reasonable for the portion sizes you receive. The pub is also very dog friendly with a table at the entrance with treats and water bowls. Will definitely be going back and would recommend to others.

Had a lovely lunch with family. Great pub and friendly staff. Thank you to our waitress Leanne, for making it enjoyable. We will be back

Standard pub food, not terrible but nothing special. There's better pubs in the area - convenient if only because it's right by the road.

Came here this evening for my birthday meal and Ravi was a star. Food came out very quickly and Ravi even wished me a happy birthday!

Ravi was top, even inspired me to pursue my future career upon the fruit machines where i shall spend every last penny in my wallet with little guarantee of a payout, nonetheless cracking service and a lovely pub.

Ravi was a lovely host who was friendly and welcoming. The food was very enjoyable and good worth for its price. Definitely would recommend coming with family and friends. This pub also has a lovely pub garden to sit out and enjoy the weather.

Ravi was really good at tending to our groups needs, and wished a special happy birthday which made our day. The food was tasty, quick and fresh which was lovely on a hot summers day. No complaints from me !

Very good service and quick food delivery times. Quality drinks and good food. Slightly odd regulars though.

A lovely pub with good food and a nice atmosphere. Served well by Becca despite being busy.

Great food and service thanks Leanne

Loved my veggie roast. The fish & chips was great too - sold piece of fish (not 90% batter like at some pubs!). Very generous portions.

Excellent service from Becca who was covering the whole restaurant on her own, very attentive and polite.

The food was excellent, I couldn’t fault the food even i try. The service was excellent.

Met a friend here for dinner... nice halfway point between Newbury and Basingstoke. We had Seabass Fillets and Fishcakes, Crumble and ice cream. Food was all lovely and the service from Becca was superb.. polite, prompt and super attentive. We will definitely back back.

Characterful pub with great new ownership. Very good friendly service and wide choice of menu serving really tasty food. Very reasonably priced, too.

Very good Monday evening meal. Kerry very friendly and looked after us well. Nice food and great puddings!

The staff are wonderful and friendly, the food is great... this was our 2nd visit and we will absolutely be coming again.

A very enjoyable meal with family. Fell upon this pub as passing by and decided to stop. The food is of a very high standard waitress very friendly and all in an older world setting.

Abi was great, a fab team lunch.

We had a mixed group of friends have an evening meal on Friday 17th May 2024. Excellent food choice, lovely meals and good atmosphere. Service from Abi was excellent and the Aspal cider was especially nice too! Good value and highly recommended.
