The best restaurants in East Woodhay Basingstoke and Deane South East

Came in with family for a reunion. Staff were lovely and food was well priced and good quality. Always nice that I am able to bring my dog places with me. He wasn't allowed in the main dining area but that was not a problem as we were quite happy in the bar area. Location can be a little hard to find behind the bushes if you don't know whete you are going. Would come again.

What an amazing pub! We had a lovely roast dinner, homemade pie and burgers. None were run if the mill and definitely all freshly cooked. The puddings were lovely too and not too ostentatious, simply lovely. The service was friendly and relatively quick considering how busy they were. Atmosphere was a good country/village pub, pets welcome, decent price and definitely deserved tipping. We will visit again!

I am very surprised by the good reviews. This was the worst pub restaurant we have ever been to. I phoned the day before to check that they were dog friendly. I was assured that they were dog friendly, and I had read some reviews saying that dogs were welcome. We have two very small very well behaved dogs. When we arrived we were met with an elderly man who was extremely rude and grumpy. His first words were that we must not allow the dogs on the furniture or in the garden. He made us feel extremely unwelcome and very uncomfortable. We had a dog pram for the dogs so it was obvious that we were considerate dog owners. We were considering leaving, but we had all travelled quite a distance and didn't know of anywhere else locally. The furniture was old uncomfortable and tatty. The garden was a muddy hole with two swings. I asked if I could have chunky chips with my sandwich and I was told it comes with small fries and if I wanted chunky chips I would only get 3 chips! Surely working in hospitality, this is not the way to treat customers. Perhaps he should have suggested that I could order a side order of chips... when our food arrived the waiter spilled coke over one of the plates. He did not even apologise or offer to replace the meal. The food was ok, nothing special. No one asked if everything was ok, or if we wanted anything else. We were just left alone. It is also very overpriced. For 3 small lunches, 2 glasses of coke and a small bottle of water, we were charged over £60. I wish I had been told they were not dog friendly when I phoned. This was very unfair and ruined a special day for us.
