The best restaurants in Pamber and Silchester Basingstoke and Deane South East

English country pub with an unspoilt interior serving cask ale. Really good experience. A range of baguettes are served that are excellent value, but only at lunch time.

I knew that this pub was under new management and my friend had recently been here and said the meal was good so I thought I would invite me friends for dinner, I was not disappointed, the service, food and cosiness of the pub was excellent and would return, I had to trout and crumble and it was delicious and could of done with some more custard. Freddie who took our order and served us was exceptionally professional and funny too. Only minor point is when we were going in from the back it looked like it could do with a bit of love and pretty flowers. Look forward to returning maybe in the autumn when the fire is on.

Filthy, dirty pub, with no atmosphere and a nasty landlord who just kept interrupting our conversation, for no reason. Chairs and table were dirty and the carpet filthy. And come payment time landlord wanted cash!!

On every occasion I have been to Little Roses previously the service is always excellent and the staff are always friendly. A group of us met there for a reunion lunch. We had booked a table in advance and were so pleased when it was decorated with flowers and waiting for our arrival. Everyone in the party was extremely happy with the food we ordered (the coronation chicken sandwiches were delish). We wanted to give it 6*!

I was in the area for the week and had dinner/lunch here three times. The food is fantastic and the Guinness is top notch - and the staff are also very helpful and friendly!

UPDATE - all credit to restaurant who invited us back with an updated vegetarian menu and complementary meal. The quality was radically different for the mains this time. Both dishes we had were tasty and cooked well. Starter was good as before (this time we had a sharing board). Sat next to the fire which was nice too. Updated my star ratings to reflect this experience, though kept below review for reference. ORIGINAL REVIEW - Really disappointed with our meal yesterday. The menu was limited for a vegetarian, so I went for the Bean burger - it was not home made - likely previously frozen and shop bought - a very thin dry thing. The bun was also dry. Advertised as coming with hummus in the burger but the smallest amount given. Partner’s beef burger was also dry and disappointing. Starter Camembert was good and chips done well so a surprise for both mains to be so poor. Meant we didn’t dare try the dessert offering. Very frustrating to have spent around £70 overall on 2 drinks, 1 starter and 2 disappointing mains. Won’t be returning. Shame as we tried this to branch out from our regular local spots! Atmosphere and service fine however.

Went for a Sunday Roast at 5pm at the pub. Had the roast pork, it was delicious - exactly what you want for a November evening. The vegetables were cooked beautifully- you can request extra complimentary roast potatoes and Yorkshires puddings, if you can fit them in. We made use of the “kids eat free after 4pm” offer that’s on currently and my daughter enjoyed the Mac & Cheese. We couldn’t fit in a dessert sadly. The food arrived fairly quickly and hot. Only thing to critique is the clearing at the end was a tad slow and I was lurking for the bill but felt like we sat for a little bit too long trying to get attention but it wasn’t that significant all in all. Would definitely return.

Came across this pub while out looking for somewhere to eat. Great find! Lovely lunch today. Great food, plenty of it & service and ambience is relaxed and attentive. Staff friendly and polite and made is feel very welcome. We'll definitely be back, next time with the dog!

The food is good and the service was friendly. If you have any allergies you may want to look elsewhere. The staff are helpful when it comes to checking ingredients, however, it’s the restaurant’s policy that they won’t make ANY changes to what is on the menu. I have a citrus allergy and while I could order drinks without lemon, they wouldn’t simply not place a lemon wedge on my plate. The restaurant management’s attitude towards allergies is deeply disappointing.

Booked for Sunday lunch - waited an age to be seated, very pleasant environment, ordered the Sunday roast, this took 4 trips from the waitress to bring the main course - the veg, the potatoes, the gravy by the time I'd gotten all I needed the whole meal was cold - no check back, ordered dessert - the crumble that also was stone cold - again no check back, the staff were polite and helpful but seemed to lack direction and leadership and seemed more invested in the wedding which was taking place - food very underwhelming

We hired the conservatory and the Calleva catered for my son’s wake. The food was excellent and they kept topping it up. They catered for gluten and dairy intolerances well. The room was private and a perfect size for our group. Thank you.

Avoiding motorways, driving across country, we found this pub. Hosts were inviting and the food excellent, everything was fresh and prepared to order and was well presented in a timely manner. Even though I live in Sussex, the next time I’m in the area, I will head for this pub again. Thank you
