The best restaurants serving British food in Basing Basingstoke and Deane South East

Great environment but a bit overpriced.

Well cooked fish and chips with nice crisp chips and thin, light batter on the fish. Good value to eat in the restaurant and good, quick service. Large cod and chips with mushy peas cost £13.35.

What a wonderful pub. Beautiful decor and comfortable seating areas. Very dog friendly with treats, water station and even doggy blankets. Food was excellent, we ordered 4 different meals and each was delicious. Drink choices on offer very good and freshly squeezed lime in my lime and sofa which made such a difference to my drivers choice drink. Service was fantastic. JoJo was attentive and friendly and we felt we had a personal service by someone who genuinely cared that we enjoyed our experience. We will definitely return

Visiting the area for a night, lovely pub. The 2 members of staff I spoke to were very friendly and welcoming and the ales seemed very well looked after. Nice locals too.

We came for the afternoon tea and we loved it. The presentation and quality was good. The restaurant has nice view to grounds with many colourful flowers. Anna has been amazing . So friendly and helpful. Nice selection of teas. We definitely will be back. We were told that zanetta from kitchen prepared our afternoon tea.

What a disappointment. Having been coming here for several years we've just had a terrible Sunday lunch, followed by even worse service. My roast beef was very poor, chewy and tasteless and the potatoes were very undercooked and bland. I managed four or five mouthfuls before giving up. When the waiter came over I very politely mentioned this and she was extremely apologetic. Another waiter came over and mentioned that the meal would be taken off the bill, and that they'd had other complaints. So far, so good. I understand that sometimes things go wrong, and all a business can do is apologise and offer to put it right. However, when I went to the bar to pay the bill I saw the roast beef still on there and mentioned this to the man who had printed the bill. He explained that the meal wasn't removed from the bill, but that they'd removed 25%. I explained that I'd not eaten 75% of the food...in fact I'd eaten hardly any, but his response was "this is how we deal with complaints, 25% off". He was very dismissive. Putting aside the fact that I'd been told it would be removed from the bill by another member of staff, this approach is astonishing. I ordered a meal, didn't eat it because it was so poor, and was still charged for 75% of that meal. I'm afraid this pub has lost a long term local customer because it wanted to save £15. What a shame.

What a beautiful old pub . Felt so comfortable and friendly. Food was really good and freshly prepared and hot. This is going to be a regular favourite for the family . The staff were great too and the really lovely young lady behind the bar made you feel at home straight away.
