The best restaurants in Burghclere, Highclere and St Mary Bourne Basingstoke and Deane South East

Brilliant! Wonderful village pub! Super food, great beer, fantastic team!

Amazing service and great food!

Excellent service, really delicious food , great menu with plenty of choice. Higher recommended will definitely come again.

First class unassuming service on a pretty quiet mid week January evening. Food throughout very good and well presented. Excellent value, as was the wine by the glass especially the 2022 Languedoc chardonnay.

We went for a family Sunday lunch but unfortunately it did not live up to our expectations, it had gammon on the menu as a roast and it was rashers off bacon not a gammon steak. Also we were only given one set of veg between 10 off us we complained and was told they would get us some more but it never turned so some of us had no veg very dissatisfied. We will not be returning in the future I am afraid.

Had Sunday lunch ,2 people had the beef 1 had chicken. Was plenty of it but the beef was tough and the chicken very chewy. Think will stick to the week menu more choice.

Lovely traditional country pub serving delicious food. Perfect for an intimate evening meal or a family event.

A nice local pub/restaurant worth a visit not to expensive

Great friendly place for a pint 🍻

We wanted somewhere for my birthday lunch but being in a Motorhome can make finding parking challenging. We were visiting Highclere and passed this pub and did a quick u-turn. We were able to park at the back of the car park as it had a couple of extra long spaces. We were asked if we had booked a table and advised we hadn't, the serving lady found us a lovely table in the window for 2 plus our dog. We didn't want a big lunch so I chose the scotch egg starter with a side of chips, my hubby had cod cheek scampi with fries and salad. It was lovely, cooked beautifully and tasted homemade. Prices of some dishes were a little hefty but our dishes were well priced. There were dog snacks and water bowls We would definitely recommend, some dishes we saw coming out certainly looked very generous portions so be warned. Congratulations to the lady serving as she was serving behind the bar as well as waitressing, I don't think the pub had anticipated being quite so busy but she managed extraordinarily well until a colleague turned up to assist, well done.

Stopped in early afternoon during a county walk on very cold January day. We were made very welcome by Russell the new Manager. Pub was warm and cozy with candles in every nook. Excellent service and atmosphere.

Very very disappointing. We waited well over an hour for our lunch and saw tables who had ordered after us being served first. An offer to take our drinks off the bill was accepted. The calf’s liver was over cooked and so salty it was almost inedible. A badly organised pub serving poor quality food. AVOID.

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.

Our 4th visit, lovely wonderful staff. Real value for money. Why pay £26 for 8 oz sirloin steak in Freefolk, when you can have 16oz rump steak for the same price at The George St. Mary Bourne. Lovely atmosphere, great value for money.

Probably the best Sunday roast I've ever had. The meats were cooked perfectly, generous portions, delicious sides. Highly recommend!
