The best restaurants in Upton Grey and The Candovers Basingstoke and Deane South East

A nice and cosy country pub with excellent food and polite and quick service. Exactly the comfort that was needed on a misty November Sunday 👏🏻

Amazing service, the staff was super sweet and caring. The food was ok, but not as good as expected... The gnocchi were missing personality, the taste was nice but not as tasty as could have been. All of the other plates were fine but the portions were way too small. I did not expect to get a huge portion but 2 slices of duck breast... I think 3 stars reflect the actual value. The dessert was not as nice as you expected it to be, we were expecting a nice gelato but it was mediocre... We paid quite a lot for what we had, thus I would not recommend this place.

Absolutely loved it here and can't wait to go back.The food was brilliant, the staff were lovely and to top it off the locals were extremely welcoming

Great place to eat Thai food. Great customer service. Very friendly

Went to the Noel diamond tribute last night - it included a meal - the show and the food were excellent. Everything was served promptly and the waiting staff were brilliant. We stayed overnight which was lovely - a brilliant night out

Lovely place . Lovely cake and coffee . Helpful happy staff

The Hoddington Arms is getting it right! From the warm and friendly welcome, to the ongoing super service from all staff, and the lovely food. Ambience - the lighting is just right and I personally loved hearing Sam Cooke discreetly in the background. I had a lovely evening with friends. Thank you to the team at The Hodd.

Pretentious! Now, I don't mind spending money on decent food & drink but this place was just weird. The smallest cup of coffee in a glass that went cold quite quickly and the most disgusting sausage bun I've encountered. Wannabe hipster place, so if you're one of those people. You'll love it.

Me and some girlfriends came here last night for dinner and we all had Thai dishes. I would highly recommend the food and pub the service was very friendly and welcoming and the food was gorgeous. I will be making it my regular now and will be taking my family to feast on the Thai food here again it was stunning.

We stayed at the Woolpack while in the area for a friends wedding. Lizzie was a fabulous waitress - checking in and making sure we were well looked after. New menu items such as the linguine were delicious and the burger was especially standout. Thank you team for a great stay

We did a hike in the area and called into the Fox for lunch and a pint. The pub exterior looked a bit tired so our expectations weren't high, However, as soon as we entered the pub and were met with a friendly welcome things started to look up. Like a previous reviewer we had the tuna sandwich and the steak burger with Stilton but our experience was far more positive. The food was simple but very tasty, especially the chunky chips. Likewise the beer was well kept and very refreshing after a long walk. There was a large group of ramblers in the pub who had clearly arranged to park in the pub car park before doing their walk. They all appeared to be enjoying their post walk food & drinks too.
