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

Excellent atmosphere, food and service. Cheryl our waitress was excellent and made our visit that more enjoyable. This was our first visit with a friend in a wheelchair. And the facilities were very good.

4 of the 5 adult meals were disappointing: undercooked belly pork, rubbery! The toughest, stringiest rare steak ever eaten: any decent chef wouldn’t have served that piece, a seemingly random meal that was nothing like described on the menu (ordered pan fried gnocchi with feta, it was not pan fried and didn’t have any feta (unless it was maybe blended in the weird sauce somehow, although it didn’t taste like feta) but it did have red onions all over it (not listed on the menu). And the fish and chips had a literal thimble full of mushy peas. We mentioned the peas and belly pork to the servers, who were nice enough about it, and did bring another thimble of peas and cooked off the pork a little more. But by the time the steak was cut and we realised what a terrible piece of meat it was, we felt we couldn’t complain again. And with the gnocchi the person who ordered figured they must have misread the menu, so didn’t mention it (especially as we had already said about two other dishes!) but upon checking later, they hadn’t, what was served wasn’t at all what was described on the menu. Positives: the staff were lovely, and the setting is beautiful. But overall I wouldn’t rush back, unless it was maybe just for a drink in the nice beer garden.

The service was not existent. The team behind the counter were more interested in their own conversation. The cake was dry, tables were sticky and dirty
