The best restaurants serving British food in Oakley and North Waltham Basingstoke and Deane South East

Amazing trip to Jolly’s as always!! Had an amazing sausage and bacon sannie, with cake and some drinks. The hot chocolates were incredible we stayed for another! And the staff were friendly and welcoming as always. So lovely to see Jo smiling and being her wonderful self as always. Don’t forget to pick up some sourdough bread too, it’s made fresh and is fantastic!

After having loved the food & service here under the previous management, we decided to give this lovely pub restaurant a try again & we were so glad we did. This was a treat for me from my son & from my husband to his mum for Mother’s Day. The cheese soufflé to start was superb & a lovely sea bass mains to follow was just as good as was the burgers my son & husband had. As some reviewers have mentioned before, the service was a little slow considering we were the first diners of the day but we weren’t in any hurry so this didn’t bother us at all & the food was piping hot & delicious. A nice touch at the end of the meal was the small gift for the ladies on the table for Mothering Sunday - thank you. There were a few couples entering the restaurant throughout our meal who hadn’t booked & were left disappointed as they were informed the kitchen was at full capacity & couldn’t take any more covers so I would advise booking is recommended. We would love to return.

A beautiful hotel and restaurant , loved all the food! Breakfast , lunch and dinner were all served by friendly staff giving a great service and the food was cooked and presented well and so tasty. We will definitely be returning !

Great pub, lovely food and great staff. Plenty of parking and outside space if weather permits. Dog friendly. Menu has plenty of choice.

I had visited the Sun Inn a few weeks ago with a friend for a weekday lunch and had a really nice meal. My friend had since been back with some of her family and had been very disappointed with the standard of the food. However I decided to give the benefit of doubt and booked for a Mother’s Day lunch with my daughter and her 2 children ( 5 & 11) There was a set menu for adults and I had to ask if there was a child’s portion of the roast - there was not. So then asked for the children’s menu which they chose from My daughter and I said we only wanted the roast and desert and were told that was fine. The meals were okay but not great. We asked to see the menu again to choose deserts. The children wanted brownies and we made our choses. The manager then came over and said if we didn’t choose from the set menu we would pay extra so we tried to choose from it but couldn’t find anything we liked so reverted to our original choices. The deserts were a long time arriving and my daughters was practically inedible. The children’s did not come at the same time. When they did arrive the brownies were dry and appeared stale and burnt. Neither child would eat them. On complaining I was told they would be removed from the bill. When we saw the bill we were horrified at the charges for really substandard food and service. We were asked what we were willing to pay and then told we could pay nothing if we liked as they ‘didn’t want a fuss’ and so we left. My main concern was for the young man that served us who was sent to sort the matter out and used as a go between and I’m sure he will have been blamed for everything when he was perfectly pleasant and helpful. The place is very much not child friendly and I would not return or recommend to anybody

Great meal with great service but felt staff could have been increased. But they were great and fun!!!! Breakfast was busy but only Alisia - hope that is correct - on and as she only had a short night from a late finish, very unfair. Hotel a little tired but as clean as the staff can do.

As always, great atmosphere, great food and great service. Ya canna whack it,..

Unorganised, unclean and ale unpleasant with odd taste. I waited 40 minutes for a burger and the rest of the family had all tried to eat theirs. Burger was wrong so sent back and cancelled meal. No apology . No offer if anything else on the house for the inconvenience and my daughters meal was awful - chicken wings ( not eaten) prawns tasteless and rubbery. All her food was left on her plate and no one asked if there was anything wrong with it. Left , went home and had toast. Family member I’ll next day. Calzone was only part cooked and half left. The only grace was a nice member of staff who was new on the till. I would not recommend eating here and suggest that staff need more skills training in customer service and check back.
