The best restaurants in Eastrop Basingstoke and Deane South East

We had an excellent experience at The Olive House. We were warmly welcomed by Gian Franco and seated beside friendly, beautiful people. Food was flavoursome and well presented. Warm and friendly atmosphere. An absolute treasure for Basingstoke.

I've been going regularly to this pop-up stall for the last 5+ years. It is one of my favourite places in Basingstoke to grab something to eat...it's just a shame it is only around on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I would probably go here far more often if was open all week. Highly recommended if you catch them in town. This is definitely THE place for Thai food in Basingstoke...I haven't seen anything this good since Kwai 2 closed down in Lychpit. It is authentic Thai food with great variety of choice. I will usually buy some Moo Ping (pork skewers), chicken satay or fish cakes if I am after a bite of lunch; I buy the Chicken Massaman if I want to buy something for dinner. The aromatic and natural flavours are definitely different (in a good way) from the Asian "chain" eateries in Festival Place. It's as authentic as it gets. The servings are very generous and prices represent value for money...they could put the prices up a bit and it would still be decent. They only take cash so you need to come prepared...the only cash I have around in my room is literally just a fund for this place. The only downside is that there is often a 5-10 minute wait to be served as they are very busy. I think this is a combination of them being very popular but also service being relatively slow. I have sometimes baulked at the queue and regrettably had to eat somewhere else due to time constraints.

We visited as our halfway stop in both directions between kent and Devon and what a cracking find it was! Set in beautiful park perfect for letting us and the dog stretch our legs before sitting down to enjoy some lovely lunch and hot drinks. The staff are absolutely lovely and remembered us from our first stop. Very dog friendly and brought our dog some water. Clearly a family run, communi5u spirited venture. Lovely seating outside perfect for a summers day. Highly recommend.

As always a warm and friendly welcome, this evening was a roast ham, with a tasty cheese potato and onion pie. Bravo Chef Graham, bravo

very welcoming ate in on this occasion ordered chicken shish with salad and garlic sauce and it was delicious! good portion very clean and value for money also enjoyed the turkish tea!

Personal amable, barato pero la comida es buena, una taza de té es sólo £1. 10, lo que el mismo será en la costa? Aperitivos son razonables.

Popped in for a coffee as had 20 minutes spare before my bus. The cakes looked divine although resisted as I am on a diet. Ordered a skinny latte. Amazed it was only £2 and then £1.80 with my Festival Place card. Much better value than Costa Starbucks and M&S. Can thoroughly recommend.

A really lovely pick me up when I was in a bad mood waiting for the bus because I got new glasses and they look crap. Cheese bean sausage melt to die for. Wish I could go back in and get another but trying not to be a complete fatty.

Not sure how this place is rated so well? The service is good. But the food is so mediocre, like something you could make at home. Doesn't taste authentic or good at all. Especially the noodles. The broccoli is such a weird touch and the noodles are not soft.

Amazing food, great service and extremely reasonable prices

The momos were great. Some of the best we had in UK.

Delicious food, brilliant service.. we had a lovely meal here! Thank you!

Our server, Ash, was excellent - friendly, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. We had crispy dosa - generous portions and delicious! Will go back

Great after Parkrun treat. Iced coffee. One star down for glacial time to actually get it to us though.

Our visit to chulo thakali restaurant was a delightful experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore authentic Nepali flavors in a warm and welcoming setting. The menu offered a wide variety of dishes, catering to both vegetarians and meat lovers. We started with the chili chicken momo, which were perfectly steamed and filled with flavorful chicken. The highlight of the meal was the thali set, rich with spices, lentil and tender meat, accompanied by fluffy rice. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with authentic flavors. Considering the quality and portion sizes, the prices were reasonable. We felt we received great value for our money, especially with the generous portions. We will definitely be returning!
