The White Hart at Hook in Basingstoke and Deane - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Cannot recommend this hotel enough, made our stay extremely comfortable at a very reasonable price. Even just to visit for a meal we would most worthwhile.

The hotel/restaurant has been closed for refurb and our stay was the first night open. It did not disappoint and had a perfect stay - lovely room, location and food in the restaurant. Such history to the hotel and area too (we read about it in a really interesting booklet on the bar). Would highly recommend.

I went to the white Hart for a meal with my 3y/o son. The Chef was amazing, and put the meal out at a great pace, and perfectly cooked & Well plated. - she also popped her head round to make sure it was ok as i was sat in main part of bar. - Very friendly - Adult meal, I had a Double chicken burger, the sauce was ultimately really spicy, but not uncomfortable spicy, and definitely worth going back for! Bar Staff were amazing, very bubbly, friendly laughing and joking with each other whilst working, which is a sure sign they are happy working there & a good selection of drinks & as much as i didnt, they seemed quite happy making cocktails too... IF your In hook, definitely worth a visit... Only downside is carpark requires you to register at bar, but it is walkable from the station **There is confusingly "The Old White Hart" a 5 minute walk away, I have been there too, but wasnt anywhere near as good as the white hart.

Dreadful, please don’t bother. This pub has not been decorated in years, it’s filthy, food was inedible and reminded me of a motorway service station. Sadly could do nothing about it as friends were staying here but they too had their own complaints over rude staff, being locked out and the general condition of their room. Honestly, do not waste your money, these days there are so many other places to go to where customer service and quality actually means something

We took a family room (no. 10) and it was spacious for the 3 of us. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had several meals in the pub restaurant and it was good pub food at a very reasonable price. We would definitely return.

This could be a really nice pub but unfortunately it has been ruined by the so called “company policy” to litter every wall with a TV which is constantly on. If I wanted to watch Tv I can watch at home. If I want to watch a match with my mates I would go to either The Raven or The Old White Hart. With the population of Hook having grown in the last few years this pub has the potential to turn itself into a far better place, serving the families of Hook, with a more traditional pub, decent food, a range of beers (only ever serve one that seems to be available) and with no TV IN YOUR FACE

We stayed in the hotel for a night witch was very comfy clean and modern , we ate dinner and breakfast in the pub and have no complaints about either . The food was served hot and plenty of it all cooked fresh . The staff wore all friendly and happy to serve us . We would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to any one .

Good beds, very clean, excellent breakfast and great staff, Will stay again. Car park always had spaces, charger on site.

On 11 September we made our booking for 14th at 7PM: we could have been advised that the kitchen closed at 8PM but weren't. On 14th, the first couple arrived, found our allocated table and ordered their drinks at the bar: they could have been advised that the kitchen closed at 8PM but weren't. A few minutes, the second couple arrived, usual greetings to first couple, then ordered their drinks at the bar: they could have been advised that the kitchen closed at 8PM but weren't. Looked at the menu and decided on our choices and went to the bar to order: again not advised that the kitchen closed at 8PM. Even when our meals were served, we were not told about the imminent closure of the kitchen. Whilst admitting that the meals were all enjoyable, the evening was totally spoiled when we went to the bar, at 8:20PM, to order our desserts to then be informed that them kitchen was closed. The only notice to be seen was one on the hotel reception desk which stated that the kitchen was closed from 1600 to 1700 hours. Absolutely nothing else and no advise from staff to say that the kitchen also closed at 8PM. We paid our bill and left having had what should have been a very enjoyable evening totally spoiled. We will not be going back.

Had an enjoyable evening. Lovely atmosphere and welcoming staff. Meals were a good size and value for money. The jerk chicken and Cajun seasoned salmon were very fiery so be warned. Perhaps a little less seasoning would make them a bit more enjoyable. In addition to these dishes we had scampi, fish and chips and sirloin steak which were great

Pricey, very Clicky and staff not very welcoming. Drank our drinks n left, went to a nearby pub with friendlier surroundings & staff

Stayed for 3 nights here in June. Room was spacious and clean, beds extremely comfortable, bathroom spotless and towels clean. Staff were polite and helpful. Breakfast was reasonably priced and tasty. Bar area however was a little grubby and could do with some TLC. Overall a pleasant stay and would probably return.

Really had a nice visit too this quaint old pub in Hook this week, food was delicious and service by Erin excellent. Will be back soon

Visited this great place with the family. Great food decent prices but the best thing was the enclosed beer garden. Will return.

Just parked in the carpark and ised the charger for my electric car. Paid £15 for 1/2 a charge which sone would say is very expensive. Now received an additional £80 fine for being parked for 40 mins. Why put an electric charger in your car park and then rip people off, we supposed to be supporting green cars!

Really great old pub, team are so friendly,Ale as great and whole family enjoyed the amazing garden. Will be back very soon

Great stay i have been staying here for a few weeks whilst I work on a local construction project. Amazing friendly hard working staff. Great food and great enviroment.

The staff made us feel very welcome upon arrival and are very friendly . The service was fantastic and would 100% highly recommend this pub

Great find, stayed in the hotel and came for evening meal. Great find, cheap food and sky sports. Would recommend and will return.

We were really low on charge on our electric car, and our car directed us to go here to charge. The pub was marked as a public charge point. The pub was also closed. We normally go into pubs or restaurants that have charging points and get a drink or a bite, but since it was closed we couldn't. We've charged in many many different pub parking lots and never ever had a fine or a fee sent by a pub. They didn't care, and sent us a parking fine of £50, plus £10 for 'admin fees' My advice to people is don't charge here. My advice to the pub is register it as a private charging point, or put a gate so people can't get in to charge out of hours. Put a big fat sign on the actual charger that says "this is not a public charger, you will be fined £50 if you charge here and don't buy something from us" Feels like they were taking advantage of the fact that charging in Hook is limited. Slapping someone desperate with a £60 fee seems scammy, and horrible. You've got a public charging point in your parking lot, it shows up on maps aimed at public chargers!

The restaurant had a slightly reduced menu, and the manager was cooking, due to staff issues, however, the starters, steaks & King prawns we had were superb, cooked to perfection. The bar & waiting staff were all friendly and helpful. A truly lovely evening. Thank you!

Excellent food with great service. Had a great meal with a colleague, was quiet and plugged in laptop and was nice to hold meeting away from the office. Would totally recommend.

honestly amazing food was a great evening thanks to the lovley staff food was fab i would definitely recommend going here has the perfect atmosphere very good evening thank you

The Hotel was lovely and clean and staff we very friendly. NEGATIVE the breakfast was awful The bacon was burnt as was the sausage, tomato,egg was crispy and overcooked.

Lovely little pub and hotel. My room was very clean and spelt fresh on arrival. We stayed for a few days while visiting friends. The housekeepers cleaned our room and even made our beds for us during the day! One of the housekeepers I believe...

Very poor experience. Booked a double room, the room was very dated and the bathroom was dirty, the windows have retaining cables that won't allow you to open them on a latch so you either cook to. Death or have the windows swinging back and...

Terrible experience, waited for 1hr for kitchen to open to be told they no longer do all day breakfast. Double beds are to singles put together so you fall down the gap. Not good for dietary needs also.

Had a second visit here and again had a lovely time, amusing fun atmosphere with open fires and a lovely team, food was served hot and delicious. Would highly recommend giving this place a try, we were traveling through or would love this as a...

Lovely Meal, quaint 17th Century Pub with open fires and a sizzle menu that was delicious. Nice Pub food, loved the Steak & Doom Ale with Mash & lots of gravy, my lady had the fish and chips also nice size and freshly battered, highly...

A meal for 20+ people on Friday 14 January. A dining room given over to us. Food very good. Service excellent. Michael the BOSS ensured everything went well. We had 2 late arrivals but he ensured their food was kept cold /hot as required

Came this evening with friends for a meal. We were blown away with the fast service and the food was amazing. We felt really welcome. Will definitely be making this our pub of choice from now on.

We haven’t visited this pub before but it is safe to say we will be back!! After having a bad experience at another pub tonight we came here and the whole table was very impressed! Not only with the food but the friendliness of staff...

The welcome was friendly and warm, the cosy fire light was really nice and the old beams make it cosy. The food was excellent, rooms were clean and tidy and the service was lovely. Left with a sense that we would definitely return.

Amazing hotel, with a really warm welcome, we came for a family weekend and the staff could not have accommodated us more, we had a lovely meal in the restaurant on Saturday night, so reasonably priced and value for money and despite a boozy night,...

We got checked into room 9 by a friendly young fella at the bar/reception. We then came back an hour later to eat at the bar/resturant and was greeted by an older lady who was really miserable and not child friendly!. We walked out and...

Tonight I stopped in for a drink and ended up having two more than intended. The garden was lovely and bright and j was able tk watch the tennis and order my drinks at the table. Thanks for a lovely time

Great staff, brilliant service, couldn't ask for more. Staff is ideal, food is unreal. You have to check it out

What can I say. The app after 3 attempts would not work. Go to the bar and the drinks that they say they don’t have on the app they had. Ordered food at the bar. 40 minutes wait in total and foods not hot. The...

Friends lunch after lockdown. Really good friendly environment, my food was served was served quickly and was lovely. Staff were all VERY helpful and really nice. All good Covid measures in place with good signage and one way system in place. I have booked a two night stay direct with hotel so got a really good price.

We stopped over a few weeks ago just after the first lockdown and what a wonderful pub. All the staff were fantastic and the Covid procedures in place made me and my wife feel very safe. Nothing was too much trouble. I will definitely pop...

We booked the family room while our bathroom was being renovated. The White Hart was within walking distance of home , so very convenient! What we hadn’t expected was the amazing service we had - every single member of staff who we came across was...

Dirty room and towels - poor restaurant with loud abusive locals. No help from staff and some off duty staff were equally drunk and swearing

Euro car parks rip you off. I charged my electric car plenty of time there, last 2 was £100, because I didn't realise the new parking order at night. Management very sorry, but that's all. Avoid this place.

Lovely pub with good food and comfortable welcoming atmosphere. Met up with an old friend for a long lunch and stayed even longer. The staff are all very friendly and the service is attentive and prompt.

The staff are absolutely lovely and the drinks and food came very quickly! My friends and I had a great time in a lovely buzzing atmosphere, and the halloumi fries were very much enjoyed.

Came for lunch, was blown away by the food it was incredible and took no time at all to come! The staff were friendly and professional, nothing was too much to ask! Will definitely be returning! One of the best burgers I have ever had!!

Since the reopening after covid I have been in twice. I'm suprise to see how little actions are in place after opening post covid. No face covering on staff and no real system to keep people safe. There is a nice tall man with a...

We went tonight for dinner, 4 adults and 2 children. Fantastic food & service. I have never experienced where all people who all had different dishes were all raving about the meal. For 3 of us it was our third visit and each menu was...

Lovely pub, with great character, the staff were really friendly and the Tea (Beer) was great and recommended.

Excellent, down the road from Hook stn allowing clients to relax, and use free wifi to keep updated on emails, whilst enjoying a sizzling mixed grill in a fantastic setting.

I had lunch with a friend here on the 21/01/2020. We arrived separately & parked in your carpark. Before having lunch we asked a member of your staff ( the same girl that served us lunch & drinks etc..) If it was ok to park in your carpark. She assured us that it was fine as we were having lunch there. I have just recieved a fine from euro car parks for £85!! My friend did not receive a fine only me. I phoned your hotel to complain only to be told that there was nothing you could do as its a private company. Why was I misinformed by your staff on your parking regulations? Why wasn't there any notices inside the hotel to highlighting the parking restrictions? Why was I the only one to recieve a parking notice?

I've been popping in and out of this place for about 30 years and if you see my previous reviews left for places you'll see I'm a genuine person, who leaves reviews in my own name.The guys running this place are immense and are great fun along with the staff and the level of service you get is astounding. The beer and food is really great and very good value for money and I really would say give it a visit as you won't be disappointed. My only gripe is the system for the car park (I can see why it was done). Who reads boards outside a pub as most are now advertising Easter then Christmas in September. Just my opinion and an observation. An £80 fine for one visit will = a slating and no return visit. Just saying .....
