The best restaurants in Basing Basingstoke and Deane South East

Lovely place, staff are very polite and professional. The food lets this place down. Really small portions for what you pay. The menu excites, but the execution is lacklustre. An improvement to the food could make this place so much more. I and my friends ride here on bikes 🏍. But we like and enjoy a really nice meal at our destination. Sadly this is not the case. Sorry roadhouse.

This is undoubtedly one of the bakeries in the UK surpassing many of the best artisan London bakeries. The bread, cakes, savouries, toasties, rolls, biltong and droewars all fantastic quality. It is a fairly small shop so it doesn't have a vast selection but everything is baked with great skill and taste delicious. The staff go above and beyond making sure they call you by name which is a nice touch. I wish we had a shop slightly closer to me in Alresford but I think I'd be a stone heavier in no time ! Well done everyone.

Me and my boyfriend walked here on a Saturday, I ordered a beef brisket and a toastie, alongside two drinks. The lady was very kind and she brought out the toastie and drinks. After a little while I went back in and asked about the missing beef brisket to which they said they had now sold out of and was really apologetic. I said it was absolutely fine I can buy something different, however the ladies were adamant to give me a full refund and asked me if I’d like to pick something else free of charge. The staff were so lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful we were really appreciative of them!

Great food friendly staff recommended with going

Top notch quality and service for this visit.I was here a couple of months ago and while it was ok, this time around they’ve really upped their game.The room was lovely and service at the the bar and restaurant was great.A real pleasure for this visit.Well done

Great environment but a bit overpriced.

This place is definitely not The Crown of Old Basing. We reserved in advance, were given a table in an area near the men's loos that stank of urine - nice. We asked to have another table, unsurprisingly there were plenty to choose from, and the owner said aggressively and with attitude 'yeah go where you want'. When one of us commented on his unpleasantness he said 'don't make it about me, I don't have to like you do I'. I've never come across such an excellent standard of customer service before! Needless to say, we left and went to another pub in Old Basing, The Bolton Arms, lovely, I can't recommend it highly enough, it is the exact opposite of The Crown!

A friend and I attended this restaurant last night. The food was good and the service was good. Sadly, overnight I have been very unwell and not been able to control my bowels. I checked in with my friend who came with me, he has also been up all night unwell with the same symptoms. Food poisoning is no joke and now I'm off work for the day. Would not attend again or recommend others do. The restaurant is waiting for food hygiene inspection currently.

The meal was okay but disappointing. The chow mein was more beansprouts than noodles, duck was cooked some time ago which isn't abnormal for many takeaways but it was dry and not reheated all the way through and chicken balls a bit small.

Since refurb, shelves usually half empty, low stock, prices have shot up , staff ( especially during day) unavailable to work tills, one staff member in particular extremely rude, cages all over floor…… sadly, NOT an improvement!!!

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.

Disappointing lunch visit , we have visited this restaurant several times and been happy , but our lunch on this visit was to good . I had the special burger and it was so dry and the pudding which was a special peach crumble I had to sen back as the peaches were not cooked and very hard I could not get a knife through them . It’s a shame as it has put us off going again

5* Food Hygiene Rating. Friendly and efficient service, lovely food cooked fresh, you can choose the heat and flavours you prefer. Good value for money. 100% recommend

Booked a table for Sunday lunch. Arrived and clearly table wasn’t reserved , table found and order placed at the bar. Ordered at 1330 for 5 people meal arrived at 1455!!! Completely unacceptable wait and no apology just a disorganised and inadequately staffed restaurant. Meal terrible roast potatoes like bricks, roast chicken was definitely fried not roasted and vegetables out of a tin. Couldn’t have been further from a roast dinner if it tried.
