We had my Mum’s wake here. It was great, Julie and Donna were so helpful. The food was lovely, freshly made and delicious The only challenge is the auto phone system, terrible system, but once you speak to a human all is good. We definitely recommend the Wheatsheaf for any occasion

I was there for a working lunch but due to half-term hols, also had my kids in tow. We were incredibly well looked after by the staff, kindly seated at two separate tables, close enough but not too close, and the team took care of everything else.

We found this great pub being in a central location for our biannual retired air traffic controller get-together! 30+ of us met here in their private room The Jane Austin suite and had a great time reminiscing while being looked after by the lovely staff here serving good food! Easy parking and great access.

Stayed here for a night in August 2024 alongside eating and drinking in the pub. The staff were lovely; friendly, helpful and hardworking. It was great to see how a good team they were by how they interacted with each other. Lydia and Jess were amazing! This is a 400 year old coaching inn, so please keep in mind that you will be staying in a historic building. The downside to this was poor air conditioning throughout the pub and in our hotel room. Our room was below the attic and was really hot and humid even with the fan on all night. Our room was a tad tired and in need of renovation. Beware that room number 26 is lopsided due to being just below the attic.

We ate here last night. The food was fantastic as always but the service was really disappointing. We eat here quite often and have done for many years but last night we felt let down by poor service. Our waitress was stroppy and the service was extremely slow. We ordered our food and drinks at the same time along with a jug of water. The drinks arrived quickly minus the water but it was 40 minutes later before my starter arrived and as my husband wasn't having a starter it was an hour before he got anything to eat. When we asked the waitress if we could have our water it was brought to us and slammed onto the table before the waitress stormed off. By the time our dessert arrived we'd been in the restaurant for almost 2 hours and we waited so long for our bill we gave up and went and asked another staff member for it as our waitress by then seemed to have disappeared. We got our bill but still no sign of the waitress so once again we found another member of staff, we paid our bill and we left. Such a shame because we love this restaurant and the food is fantastic but the service was a real let down this time.

The food was presented very well and endless tea and coffee available. Everyone said the food was delicious. The staff were lovely.

I can only review the food as I have not stayed in the rooms. For Sunday roast, this is the place to go! For the past few years, I have been visiting The Wheatsheaf Hotel and the Hatch pub in Basingstoke for Sunday lunch. As both are Chef and Brewer, the food offered has been almost the same, which is in my opinion the best Sunday roast I have ever had, which ever establishment you visit. Unfortunately, I visited the Hatch recently only to discover the menu had changed, with the Sunday roast now offered at 50% price increase and a distinct reduction in food choice and far smaller portions with less items on the plate! I understand this was a decision made by Chef and Brewer, and am told it was in an attempt to make the Hatch more boutique. What a load of rubbish!. Why does some company executive think its a good idea to change something that is already 100% perfect?? I can understand a price increase as we live in expensive times, but a price increase AND a full change of menu where the choice is altered for the worse, and portion sizes reduced is simply too much. I can only hope the same decision to change the menu will not also happen at the Wheatsheaf! Please keep the Wheatsheaf as it is. The food is great, the atmosphere is great and the service brilliant. I was served by Lydia today who was really good and looked after us well. Ultimately though, the food is the reason for my visits. I do not need boutique. I need decent food which is wonderful quality, and decent value. I no longer go the Hatch for Sunday roast, so The Wheatsheaf is now my choice. I hope that will continue :)

Good place to stay, quiet and peaceful, clean and tidy. Mattress firmness varies across rooms so if sensitive to the rock hard or super soft, call ahead and ask.

Just had dinner here. The food was absolutely amazing. The pulled chicken croquettes from the specials menu were absolutely delicious. I would love to see these on the main menu. The pork belly was just wonderful. Beautifully cooked and well presented. Our waitress Sophie was just lovely and kept smiling and stayed completely professional despite how rude the people sat at the table behind us were to her. They complained non stop but as soon as the manager came to their table they were lovely to him. Sophie couldn't have been nicer. She was friendly and polite and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Can't wait to come back. More croquettes please.

I visited with a work colleague in November, and although the service was great. The food was not the best. However as this is usually my restaurant of choice when I’m in the area, I decided to come back again in December. Unfortunately it was even more of a let down, I tried the 2 course Festive Menu and the roast turkey dinner was just subpar to say the least. I hoped the Xmas pudding would redeem this but I was greeted with a thin, uninviting slab. Which didn’t seem good value for money considering it’s £27… My colleague had chicken strips which were overcooked, hard and dry due to a lack of sauce and a burger with cold fries. In my previous visits the food was great but if this is the new standard of quality, I don’t think I will be choosing this restaurant any longer.

The decor and ambience is truly superb. Absolutely Christmas personified. We had booked for a small family party for Christmas Eve so we tried the Festive Menu of Roast Turkey with all the trimmings. We could not eat it. Such a huge disappointment. The turkey was tasteless and had a strange, unpleasant consistency The potatoes were hardly roasted at all, as was everything else, supposedly "roasted" The "Pig in blanket" was horrible - a full sized "sausage" which was awful There was a Yorkshire pudding which was limp, floppy and inedible, as was the stuffing. I honestly do not know how such bad food can be served in such a wonderful environment. We left all of it. I have now, reluctantly cancelled my Christmas eve booking (they can keep the deposit) Bad vibes all round. Come on Green King - this cannot be right.

I had felt a bit worried about the COVID situation but reading reviews on here and speaking to friends who have been for dinner at the Wheatsheaf was really reassuring.

I have been to this pub/restaurant on many occasions with my family, and we have always come away with smiles on our faces. Yesterday, we were served by the very friendly and helpful Donna. We all had different dishes, and we all enjoyed our meals very much. It is not 'Haute Cuisine', but good pub food cooked well, at very reasonable prices. The restaurant now seems to have a few less tables, meaning that the customers can be more separated to comply with the current 'social distancing' rules. I would recommend booking in advance as it gets quite busy at lunchtimes, especially on Fridays.

Even in the midst of the current COVID crisis they have managed to organise effectively while at the same retaining a flair for an obliging, cosy atmosphere.The menu boasts something for everyone all in excellent quality and served well. For us the highlight has to be the lamb shoulder followed with a bakewell tart both of which are a testament to why veganism is just plain daft... ;-)The only extra we could hope for is to enjoy the outside/courtyard seating in the summer - so here's hoping.

We visited the wheatsheaf for the first time since lockdown. Excellent visit. We were greeted by very friendly informative staff who explained the system . We were shown to a isolated table and felt safe. Our server was Anna who was extremely professional and friendly. Her service was exceptional and made us feel very welcome. Our food was all excellent and very tasty and hot. We all thoroughly enjoyed this visit and looking forward to next time. Thanks for making this a enjoyable lunchtime.

My wife and I had a lovely lunch at the Wheatsheaf this week. We were served by Donna and she couldn't have been more helpful and attentive. She helped us have a great experience. The food was excellent and the staff were wonderful. You can't ask for more. Thank you all.

We booked a lunch table for 5 after having been to Basingstoke Crematorium to scatter my father's ashes. This was our second visit but we'd only had drinks on our first visit. We were welcomed when the rules for distancing were explained and we were shown where the temporary toilets were. Shown to our table and Donna was our server and she was EXCELLENT. Very friendly and helpful. The meal was a little long in arriving but it was explained the delay was due to a large table being served and we were next. Food arrived very soon after that. Food excellent. Puds especially yummy and the ice cream was swapped for custard which we prefer. Bill total was excellent value. We were happy to leave a decent tip for staff. If in area again will definitely try and go again.

We have eaten here many times & usually take our guide dog in training who is always welcomed in the restaurant, the last time being 5 days ago on a busy Saturday evening when everything was fine & the service was exemplary. However we went with friends lunchtime today & were told that as we had a dog we could not eat in the restaurant but had to sit in the extremely unwelcoming bar area. The service on this occasion was very slow, when we finally got our food, that was fine. If this had been our first visit we would not be returning, let’s hope it gets back to normal next time.

Starters a bit expensive. But OK . Main meals OK . I had very poor meat in a grill meal. Did not complain . Took it home for our dog. Puddings were v good . A bit expensive. Liqueur coffees v good . Nice price £3. 95. I'd go back enjoyed it. Pity about the poor meat. Shoe sole steak.

Have been here as a couple and been impressed. Yesterday we went for a family meal, 6 adults & 1 child. The restaurant didn't disappoint , the food was excellent and the service fantastic. They had run out of pavlova which was a disappointment to the youngster in our party , but they spoke to the chef and he made her a almost pavlova which she really enjoyed. Special mention to our waitresses Marissa & Hannah , they went above and beyond. Lovely evening had by all.

We had a lovely meal at The Wheatsheaf, thanks to the Eat out to Help out scheme. Would definitely recommend this pub, great menu choices, food was lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful. I felt safe thanks to the safety procedures in place. Marissa our waitress was very helpful and lovely. She helped us make good pudding choices, which is very important ;-) Stef was also very helpful and ensured we had a good time.

We came to celebrate our son's birthday. Four adults & our 1 year old granddaughter. There was was a good selection of food on the menu, and the staff provided excellent service. The lovely food was served very quickly and efficiently. Covid-19 procedures were in place and staff were wearing face shields.A very pleasant experience, highly recommended.

We visited the Wheatsheaf today for lunch having booked the table on line. We received very good service from the time we were met in the entrance until we left. The restaurant is certainly COVID proof with tables set at correct social distancing. The food as usual was very good and is very reasonably priced. Donna our waitress was very attentive, helpful and pleasant. We will of course be returning in the very near future.

We met friends who were staying at the hotel who now live in Plymouth for mid morning coffee, and stayed for lunch. We were a party of 8, all our meals were excellent. All the staff were very efficient, first class social distancing measures meant we all felt safe. Donna our server was exceptional, friendly, courteous & nothing was too much trouble. We will return.

Had a lovely meal. Everything was organised very well, with social distancing & cleanliness. Food was great & plentiful. Bonus was, it was half price with the "eat out to help out". Was good value without that.

Towards the end of lock down when we began to be able to entertain in our garden, the takeaway service provided by the Wheatsheaf was invaluable. Best of all the batter on the fish and the chips remained crisp. Generous supplies of tartare sauce as well

Called in for breakfast . I have visited before and found it quite nice although some of the staff can be a little curt. This time i was met with a miserable man with glasses , bellowing out orders. He handed me my order and proceeded with a very backward stereotype, a racial "joke". I don't expect to be racially abused when i am spending my hard earned money in your cafe. After his bigoted quip, he scurried off very quickly. I am glad he did as it was likely he d have had his glasses smacked off his head. Cheeky boy trying to belittle people when he's serving coffees for a living. I wont be back near the establishment as I don't support bigots.

Great staff, lovely to sit by the fire in the bar. Restaurant area felt a bit formal to me so stayed in the bar. Food was excellent but very small portions, and not cheap either. I had the gammon and could have eaten 2 plates.

Dropped in for a pint and something to eat, new menu recently so tried the Croque Monsieur. Kieren & Tyrone in the kitchens did a great job- better than I had in France! Real ham, loads of cheese and tasty sourdough toast with a decent side salad and dressing made a real plateful. Definitely having this again!

We dropped in on the way home from work without booking, but got a table straight away. We both had three courses and a drink for just over £60. The staff were very friendly and the food was great.
