The Vine At Hannington in Basingstoke and Deane

Not worth it. Had roast lunch, rushed to order for nothing but an over priced at best “average” roast. I have tried boiled potatoes crunchier than the ones on these plates with the beef slices served thicker than a well done steak. No apple sauce, you’re offering roast pork & it’s a Sunday. Unable to offer a till receipt, till still broken, but they are more than happy to take cash ….. interesting. What could be a really lovely country pub currently offering the same food, service, standard that your every day carvery could beat. All with a hint of something strange going on.

3 burger slider was fantastic. Pulled pork was my favourite. Followed byba propper home cooked pudding with homebmade custard. Great service and lovely local atmosphere.

What was a lovely village pub that we have been going to regularly for 40+ is now awful unfriendly staff ages to wait for food orders food nothing special seeing staff smoking outside is something that should not be happening the village pub atmosphere has gone Pool table big screen tv has ruined a special place for us that we frequented for lunch and Sunday lunch sadly we will not return

I find it very surprising when a pub advertises cask ales available and you walk in and they have no ales of any description, I was offered Newcastle brown ale out of a bottle as an option!! The food was very good but took a very long time to reach our table. It’s very sad to experience the decline of the pub as my wife and I have been regulars for a very long time and always enjoyed the quality of the hospitality. This is the first time I have found it necessary to write a review but feel very passionate about the survival of this establishment things really need to improve.

Excellent food with generous portions. Great staff. Just a pity that it took over an hour from ordering food to delivery on the table.

This was our favourite pub but sadly the new landlord/lady have no idea about customer service. We wanted to book a party and waited an hour and a half to speak to the landlord but he was too busy/in the shower/alseep. We booked a time to see him the next day but he was then out! Great hopes for an exciting menu but it’s the same old with a lot of chips. We spoke to locals who had awful tales of an hour wait for starters or no food! The girl behind the bar was surly and actually sat and ate her food in the public bar while customers around her waited!! There’s no wifi and no landline - do they want custom? What a shame -this pub used to the hub of the village until ill health forced the old landlady to stop. Let’s hope someone steps in before the current landlord runs it into the ground.

First visit to The Vine tonight. Watched the England football match. Lovely country pub, great prices and made to feel very welcome by the publicans. Really friendly and laid back atmosphere.

I wouldn't recommend, didn't have a nice welcome, lady behind the bar was abrupt, no welcome smiles etc. Cutlery just on the table with folded napkins, anyone could have touched those. Dogs in the conservatory while people eating, should be a place where dogs aren't allowed due to some people that are either allergic, or scared of dogs. Dogs should only be in the bar area. The atmosphere wasn't very welcoming. Not many tables in bar area for just 2 people. Not good to see a gentleman behind the bar rolling a cigarette, while handling menus and walking back towards the kitchen. Very un hygienic, also going out to smoke with customers is not really professional. The reputation the place had before has now lost! It has gone down not improved. There is a long way to go to make it better.

This was a great place to stop for a quick snack and drink on our way to Wiltshire. The food was great. The staff really friendly and helpful.

We reserve a table for 2 the night before , Our experience was really good The Staff were attentive and good at their job . I ordered a beef Sunday lunch my partner had the nut roast, I thoroughly enjoyed my beef lunch. One thing I did not like was it was served with veg on plate , I prefer veg on a side plate , my partner had the nut roast and thoroughly enjoyed it and would have it again .The service was excellent and owner should be proud of there staff , They all looked as though they are enjoying the work. That is good to see.

First visit to this charming village pub ,it was a Monday so not very busy but the greeting was friendly, the menu varied and sensibly priced . We all had the spring rolls followed by the beef bourguignon which was delicious. The staff were particularly helpful when we asked to move table to escape a particularly loud group of "Ok Yahs" who were obviously not regulars . We will certainly be visiting again

Used to be a great pub to drop in for lunch when on a dog walk (particularly as they have a lovely beer garden) but sadly no more! Called in today half way though a dog walk as usual, but apparently can now only get food if you have booked a table in advance. Sat in the garden (where only 4 tables were in use) but couldn’t even get a bowl of chips. They did allow us to have a drink, but even that seemed to be with some reluctance. Not very welcoming at all. Sadly, will be looking elsewhere in future and wouldn’t recommend anyone casually dropping in without a booking

Visited here for a lunchtime drink and enjoyed the ambience immensely. The girl behind the bar was so friendly and helpful, bringing our drinks to the table with a smile. Also very dog friendly.

A table for 11 at short notice, excellent service and amazing food. Can not recommend enough. Warm fire and atmosphere. Will most definitely return.

A party of 18, we were all very well looked after by Mandy and her team. The use of the function room was perfect and ensured that small children could make a bit of noise and rushing around without disturbing those who had come for a quiet pint!! And the food was enjoyed by all. Will definitely return.

What a truly lovely pub, with great customer service, friendly staff and excellent food. I walked my dogs over the ridings (Nr Watership down) and for the last 2 miles i was kept going by the thought of a pint and some hot food. I was warmly welcomed (as were my dogs) and served quickly and politely.. I had the duck spring rolls, Sirloin Steak, Sticky Toffee pudding, each and all was excellent.. well cooked, nicely presented and a good portion size. I bagged a chair by the fire and my dogs fell asleep in the relaxed and toasty environment. Each member of staff was friendly, helpful and made a fuss of my dogs, they were made as welcome as I was, I would recommend this lovely pub, it’s food and it’s friendly service… thoroughly enjoyed it.

We enjoyed a family celebration for 35 people, at The Vine, and we couldn't had been happier with the service that was provided for us. The correspondence prior to the event was thorough, which meant that the day ran smoothly, with staff providing attentive service. The food was delicious and Mandy and her team went out of their way to ensure our time at The Vine was memorable, relaxed and enjoyable. Thank you so much.

Started with duck rolls which were over cooked & hard to taste duck only noodles very disappointing Sea bass for mains so well presented with vine tomatoes delicious just not enough sea bass Did not have a desert but the presentation looked amazing

Thank you Mandy and the Team from The Vine at Hannington for David 60th birthday party. Cosy venue, charming staff and lush food. Everyone had a great time.

Table location, in the conservatory, was ideal for a large party (14), with loads of space. Food was great and all arrived without a hitch. The staff were wonderful and so all in all very impressed. Would definitely recommend.

My family group of four had a delicious lunch in The Vine this week. My first visit but hopefully we shall return. Service was very friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely round table in the front bay window.

Us two friends decided we’d visit The Vine in Hannington today. How successful were we. Sunday lunch was delicious - I had lamb and my friend had the beef. Portions very generous with lots of meat and an array of vegetables. At £14 this has to be so very reasonable. Service great, ambience lively and everywhere spotlessly clean. We appreciated a chat with the owner afterwards. She was lovely. We’re going back asap!!!

We were walking the dog in the area and wanted to find somewhere for dinner so we stopped at The Vine. They allow dogs into the pub which was lovely. The menu has a good choice of options. The price was reasonable and the quality of the food was good. We will be back to visit again in the future, along with our Dog - Oscar.

Been here a few times & very rare it disappoints. Saturday lunchtime was no exception. I stopped off after a dog walk... me & my 2 dogs. It was a beautiful day, so I thought why not. I wouldn't normally go into a pub /...

We held our wedding reception at The Vine back in October and it was perfect! Mandy and the team went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day possible, from answering our million questions, helping set up the room and even opening...

Fabulous dinner for four plus very welcoming for a guest dog. Super friendly staff and a super fresh home cooked meal. We will be back !

Being new to the area, the challenges of Covid, some new adventures have to start local, finding cool places in tucked away places that are amazing and there is always something magical to find in the English Countryside. So following a lovely country walk learning...

We visited on a cold but sunny day and sat in the conservatory, which was really bright and warm, a really nice place to have a meal. The food was very good and the service was friendly. We had to wait quite a while for...

Popped in for some lunch with my parents. Haven't been since lockdown & wasn't disappointed. Greeted warmly by both the severing staff, very professional & polite. Duck rolls for starters still as good as before, the scampi, salmon , & ploughman's ( & chips )...

An off the beaten track establishment catering for regulars and visitors. Contrary to a comment by a previous (sensitive) Tripadvisor member, locals and staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food served promptly and nothing was too much trouble for the waiting team. This pub has...

Went in with wife for a Sunday roast and was our first visit and the pub was busy but not heaving. Looked like they had a big group in the garden that were being catered with sandwiches (not main meals). We sat inside and ordered...

We rode over to The Vine. They could not have been more generous, accomodating and friendly. They bought out water for the horses, moved tables and chairs and never made us feel we were any trouble.

Great food, great service, clear covid guidelines, friendly staff and a fantastic garden, separate tents with TVs set up for the Euro's, overall a great pub clearly fowllowing covid guidelines. Thank you!

Pub and food good but totally ruined by regulars wandering around not observing Covid protocol. Elderly couple holding court with their mates wandering around unmasked. When I asked them to wear a mask I was told to chill, Covid is a minor illness and nobody...

Nice for a quick go to lunch. Menu fairly standard but well prepared. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice garden

Perfect. Had lunch recently and very Covid aware. Good food and very well organised. Highly recommended. Doughnuts were good!

Went to the Vine for a bank holiday lunch and couldn't fault it. They were friendly, went the extra mile to make our experience as wonderful as possible, kids play area kept our 6 year old busy for hours, and the food was super.

Excellent meals good choice, good service and very good social distancing, making it feel very safe.

This is our second visit post lockdown and as always the food was fantastic and the staff friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely family evening out making the most of the governments eat out to help out scheme.

Popped to the Vyne on a sunny Sunday afternoon for a bite to eat. Friendly attentive staff. Very well organised for social distancing. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. Fantastic food in a lovely country pub garden. Would highly recommend.

Great food and service with well organised social distancing. With our daughter and granddaughters, 7 and 3, on a Wednesday lunchtime and all felt very safe. Granddaughters were able to play on the play equipment with other similar aged children and had a great time......leaving us to chat, eat and drink! Tears from the youngest because we eventually had to leave was a testament to the great time they had! Well worth a visit.

Called in The Vyne for Sunday lunch as we emerged from Covid lockdown. Sunday roast on offer as well as full lunch menu.Nicely kept ale but not a good selection. Good quality food and very attentive and professional service. Beer garden is very pleasant in good weather.I wish pubs would provide more bread for the large amount of cheese offered in a ploughman's lunch!

I’ve been going to the Vyne for decades - always great food, drink, atmosphere and service. First trip today as a recent Vegan convert and delighted to see a good range of starters, mains and desserts available. No need for an awkward negotiation/ conversation with the waiters - all readily available. Lovely food for all including Sunday roasts.

An enjoyable Sunday lunch experience, complete with entertainment from a group of guitarists! Friendly staff, decent food and a nice atmosphere. We had small children and a dog with us and staff were very accommodating. Thanks!

Mid range of food Great staff that serve you with proffessionism We had Steak and Chips and Gammon steak cooked to order

Locale situato nella campagna inglese in un paesino quasi deserto con poche case intorno!!! Menu’ atipico rispetto ai classici ristoranti: questo era più orientato su cibi orientali e qualche piatto messicano ma niente pesce o altro di tipico. Birra molto buona, servizio gentile e veloce! Ampia sala riscaldata con camino; sicuramente carino mangiare anche fuori nel periodo estivo.

We were looking for a country pub, driving down the A339 saw sign for The Vine PH. So off we went after a short drive we found it.Lovely setting and really friendly staff.Only reason we don't give this a 5 is that the portions of the starters we ordered were a tad smaller than we would have expected for the price paid.Certainly seemed a popular establishment and by the looks of other food being served worth the extra drive out.

First time to the Vine for a Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed. Great welcome, great service and great menu choices. Recommend the Roast Pork and the apple pie and ice cream!Would definitely recommend the Vine, great local, village pub with great staff and great food selection.Recommend and we will return.

Having been to the Vine before we decided to have lunch there as we were passing through anyway, my partner had Scampi and chips, she was really loving the meal ,she said the chips were the best she has had , I tried one and had to agree, I had the roast beef, and asked if I could have extra gravy as I have a problem with dry food going down , no problem I had plenty. , The meal was lovely the roast potatoes were really nice the veg not over cooked , but the gravy was not hot it was warm Other than that perfect , wish they would put there curry Goat back on the menu it was the best hint hint .Thank you for a lovely meal and service ,I will be back Regards Jed.

Cannot recommend The Vine highly enough. Their food is always amazing. From the every day menu options to their sunday roast we've never been disappointed. Lovely setting. Friendly, efficient staff, nothing is too much trouble. I had my baby shower there and the buffet food we had for that was brilliant, excellent presentation, good selection and most importantly very tasty. We were able to close ourselves off from the pub without feeling shut away and really enjoy the afternoon. If you want somewhere to go where nothing will disappoint then this is the place! Thank you Mandy and the team, we will be back again soon :)

We dine here about once a month, always a table and log fire in the winter. Always a welcome and a great choice of menu with roasts. Always great service too. Highly recommended!!

nice friendly atmosphere. Didnt have food as only stopped for a quick drink but had a look at the menu, seemed nice and from what we could see all the food looked great. we will go when we have more time

Another great find after a long country walk. The staff are so flexible and helpful. In the summer the garden is the place to be as its large and you can get a private bench without being crowded. I would advise booking in the winter as they are always very busy which is why they are so successful

I visited today for lunch( 29th Oct) with my mum & friend, having visited a couple of times recently and having had nice meals. Shame today didnt follow suit.!

Travelling from Kent to Newbury and have passed by their sign on main road and decided after ten years to stop here for a midweek lunch. What a great surprise, A very warm welcome with a large food choice on menu and good service. Brie and bacon sandwich and scampi and chips good pub food and very tasty with a cornish beer.

Don't expect a gastropub otherwise you will be disappointed, go to the White Hart in nearby Overton for that type of cuisine.

This is a very nice pub with a large garden we had Sunday lunch which was good a large plate full followed by a pudding the staff are lovely here and recommend anyone to give it a go

Wonderful venue with brilliant beer garden which has a play area. Skip the starters, go straight for the delicious Main. £6 for six regular cocktail sausages (the kind you'd buy in Asda for £1.25 for 30) with a light drizzle of honey or £6 for two fishfinger sized mozzarella sticks. Great atmosphere, friendly staff.

We’ve been coming here for over 10 years not massively frequently but it’s our go to often just for a quick drink whether it’s in the gorgeous beer garden in the summer or in front of the fire in the winter! We often grab a bite to eat and the staff are always so lovely to our children. They run in saying hello as if they own the place now and they love the hot chocolate! Always think it’s important to support local pubs and the staff here have always been so lovely to us as a family. :)

This has been a favourite of ours for many years, village setting with garden, really lovely food and varied menu, very friendly run pub,

Grew up in the area but not been to the pub for a long while. Four of us and a baby were able to take our booked seats quickly and Mandy and her team delivered table service despite us sitting in the bar.

We had been here previously and had great quick lunches. We went on Saturday and ordered a baguette and small scampi and chips. We waited for our lunch for almost an hour and 10 minutes!!! This is totally unacceptable as when we ordered we were not told that there was a delay. Even during the period no one came to advise us of the delay. When the food eventually arrived again not even the courtesy of an apology which costs nothing, The food when it arrived was hot and lovely but I was so hungry that I did not take time to enjoy it. We were unfortunately very disappointed. Sorry

Mandy and staff arranged a beautiful Spring Buffet in the lovely conservatory. The food was delicious and well presented. Mandy herself was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. It was also very reasonably priced. All in all we would highly recommend The Vine at Hannington for anybody wishing to arrange any function or if they just want to pop in for a drink or a meal in this lovely country setting. Many thanks Nicky and Bernard.

We were in the area on business and didn’t break for lunch until 2pm. Found this pub signposted along a narrow country lane from the main road and were relieved to find the kitchen still open. There was a cosy area with an open fire and a huge restaurant area. We sat at a table in the sunny window and ordered a real ale and a large white wine. The Dirty tackle beer was fresh and well kept and the Sauvignon good and reasonable at £5.75. My husband ordered the steak and ale pie which he said was very good and the veg well cooked. My burger was OK but I have had better for £12. It was a little gristley and the chips of the frozen variety and a bit anaemic. We would call again if in the area.

Visit today, mid 6 mile walk, 5 of us and 5 dogs, very warmly received, despite looking slightly scruffy! The dogs were given bowls of water and treats and we had a very tasty lunch at a very fair price.

Had a lovely lunch with family and friends. Service excellent both at bar and at table. Lovely smiley staff who looked after us really well. Would certainly recommend!!!

We visited the Vine on Valentine’s Day, we booked a table last minute and they were very accommodating. The pub was very busy with a really nice atmosphere, we were allowed to choose from the Valentines menu and their normal menu which gave us loads of choice! Food was amazing and I would recommend the pub to anyone, especially the strawberry daiquiri!

Really enjoyed our 3 course lunch today - good portion size and great taste. It was quite a busy Saturday lunchtime and the service was quick, attentive and friendly. As we live fairly close by, I look forward to returning.

15 of us visited at lunch time. The staff were all professional, attentive and welcoming. The food was plentiful and delicious. Thank you Mandy and team, you’re doing a sterling job! Happy Christmas to you all.

We have visited this pub twice now... the first time I was disappointed with my meal, it was tasty but the size of it was too small for the price. Found the pub lacking atmosphere, a very sterile environment. However we decided to go back a second time... I have to say, the staff are lovely, the service is really good but the food was very sadly average. I had chorizo and sun dried tomato pasta with garlic bred, it was swimming with oil at the bottom, I had to tilt my plate to so it all drained down. For a £12 dish I expect a little more. The pub was still lacking a little atmosphere. Really sad to be writing this as I believe it’s capable of much more.. husband also disappointed with his meal, it’s sometging that you could more than easily cook at home with a better outcome..

We booked our lunch menu for 12 in advance as part of a tour in the area, Mandy was very quick to respond to our requests and last minute changes by email. The timing worked well and within a few minutes of sitting down with our drinks the main courses arrived. A friendly and well run pub\restaurant.

We booked the Vine on the feedback from TripAdvisor and colleagues but found the whole experience very disappointing. Firstly we were put into the conservatory where quite obviously a large group was celebrating a birthday. I have nothing against people enjoying themselves but the noise made it very hard to actually talk to one another and enjoy our company. One small group of people came in after us and asked to be moved.

Held our wedding anniversary celebration at The Vine and from beginning to end Mandy went above and beyond the call of duty. She was very helpful at the planning stage and in devising a 2-course menu for our guests to choose from. The conservatory was nicely set out and all the plates came out in quick succession, so no hanging about whilst one was eating and another waiting for ages.

The Vyne at Hannington is very popular local pub. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. The food is excellent . We are fortunate to live near and so is one of our favourites.

We decided to go here for a quick lunch and were not disappointed. Service was very good and very polite. Food was hot. My husband had a jacket pocket with beans and there were lots of filling. We have not yet tried the main meals but sure we will in the future.

We had a nice evening at the Vine. Very friendly service in the nice old country pub. Good choice of beer on offer. Nice spacious car park. The pub benefits by having a large conservatory which is bright and offers vies of the large garden.

Great food, great service ( with a smile! ), great beer! A lovely atmosphere & very welcoming. Much like a communal living room!

I have just had a lovely mid-week lunch here with family. Excellent service from our waitress Debs who was extremely welcoming and efficient. She was very patient whilst we took ages pouring over the menu even though the kitchen was about to close. The menu has all the traditional pub dishes as well as a good selection of sandwiches and sharing platters. The meal was very tasty and the portions of a good size. They have a large, dog-friendly garden and doggie treats on the bar. We found out that there are plenty of excellent walks to do nearby and the bar person gave us a map showing the routes - so a great pub to visit after building up an appetite.

Visited with friends on the way to Basingstoke. Lovely country setting and big garden to sit in. Had pleasant lunch with friends. Personally I was not overwhelmed with the seafood platter, it was ok but nothing special I thought

Good choice on the menu, reasonable pricing. Large Country Pub, worth finding if you want a Sunday Lunch.

Having eaten several times at the Vine, it was a holiday treat, we yet again frequented the pub. Our order was simple as we fancied fish & chips I had my customary lime cordial and soda husband a pint bitter. Food arrived looked great but chips lovely, peas ok as was the tartare sauce, but the fish..... it was watery, and completely flavourless like it had been taken straight from the freezer into the fryer. It wasn't cheap either £13.50 per person. The soda was like as if they had forgotten the cordial and was charged at £2.50 which I considered expensive.. But we always like to give a second chance so we returned Sunday for a roast. The potatoes roasted had been reheated so much the insides were almost yellow and had lost all their crispness. The beef tough, the lamb tough. The only thing edible was the veges. So sad. Whether they have changed their chef I don't know but it was once upon a time one of our favourite places to eat. Perhaps we chose the wrong items from the menu. We declined dessert.

Great food! we were worried after eating out at a chain restaurant recently and having an awful meal and service however this was amazing! Great food great service and great space will be back!

Bank holiday Monday* was our second visit to The Vine, this time as two families with young kids.

Excellent place to visit. We were walking and popped in for lunch. Both meals were great. Staff very friendly, and even offered to refill the tea pot without prompting. Location lovely, just down from the village green.

Good service. Good food. Nice pub. We will be back:-). We had been walking and were very glad of the top ups of the teapot spontaneously offered by staff. Thank you.

I booked for a group of 32. We had pre-ordered our food. Everything was lovely. Food was all brought out promptly. Everyone's order was right. Superb, will be going back 😀

We went here on Easter Saturday for a quick spot of lunch.

Popped into the the vine for lunch..was met at the bar by a very polite young lady..ordered our drinks and sat in the conservatory/restaurant..the land lady was sat in the bar and we had a good chat about upcoming events etc she was very helpful and were coming back in the summer for the ‘hogfest’ ..this is a lovely country pub ideal for couples or families nice size beer garden in a beautiful location obviously a very well run pub can’t wait to return..Lee and Donna

4 of us came to eat early evening, it wasn’t busy, service was pleasant and attentive at the beginning, but tailed off towards the end of the evening. We all enjoyed our food, all three courses! The only thing I wouldn’t personally recommend was the chipolata sausage starter, as the chipolatas were cheap and poor quality compared to what I would expect.

We asked for a table for 18 and this was expertly handled by the owner and staff - food was lovely and the pub is in a great setting, with Hannington being an archetypal English village! We shall return!

The best pub in actual countryside I have ever been in. The atmosphere is casual and friendly. The staff run it like a family with the lady owner at the front. The food was fantastic even serving specials like goats curry which I think is...

Last minute booking on a Saturday night. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food was delicious, well cooked and well presented. For those people who find a normal portion too much there are several small choices available, each one as delicious as the next. For dessert the Chocolate Fudge Brownie is a must - absolutely amazing. For those people who are Coeliac sufferers or gluten intolerant there is a good variety of gluten free meals and desserts available and my husband assures me they are delicious too. Thoroughly recommend you give it a try. We will certainly be returning again and again.

Had mothers day lunch with my family today, excellent food, traditional friendly pub atmosphere, children and dogs welcome, totally recommend, as a good pub should be

I think this place is real example for how a local pub should be. We have driven from Basingstoke, the food is great, the staff are really helpful. The pie of the day was brilliant and everyone in our party loved their food.

Came in on a Friday night for dinner. Bad sign that we seemed to be the only ones in until a few more people arrived later in the evening. A couple of the meals were not up to scratch. The lady manager was very apologetic...

Two groups of walkers, totalling more than 20, arrived at The Vine for pre-ordered lunches. All enjoyed their food, mainly from the bar menu, and went off on their different routes within the hour. The food was all straightforward stuff but was served efficiently by...

Our first impression on entering was how warm, bright, and welcoming this pub was. Service was very friendly, there was a good choice on the menu, and the food was very nicely cooked. We both had the duck with plum sauce, which, although a little...

We called in to the Vine on a Sunday lunchtime in the middle of a walk in North Hampshire. The pub was spotlessly clean and the staff were very attentive. There was a selection of roast dinners as well as the usual bar food. The...

We have visited The Vine on 2 occasions recently, having just moved to the area. The first time the owner opened early after seeing us outside tired from a long walk! She was extremely friendly and we stayed for a couple of drinks and ordered...
