The best restaurants in East Woodhay Basingstoke and Deane South East

A great place to meet with friends for a meal and drinks. Excellent food and friendly staff in a beautiful setting. A really oldywordy pub/restaurant.

We arrived on time for our Sunday lunch booking. They were clearly busy but there's no real excuse for the very poor service we received. We were kept waiting at the bar for several minutes until someone finally showed us to our table. No-one took a drinks order so we got our own. We must have been waiting half an hour until our food order was taken and it would be another 40 minutes until it was finally delivered. I commented to the server that they shouldn't take the booking if they couldn't cope. Shortly after, the landlord came and suggested that I had been rude to his staff! The food was ok when it did arrive - typical pub lunch, but we will not be coming here again. I was shocked at just how poor the service was.

Stayed 2 nights. Easy to find. Went for a circular walk first evening..then had a excellent meal. As we were getting up early next day they had left a superb continental breakfast in our room. Breakfast next day was freshly cooked and lovely. Highly recommend this lovely place
