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

As always a warm and friendly welcome, this evening was a roast ham, with a tasty cheese potato and onion pie. Bravo Chef Graham, bravo

First visit to the bcot restaurant and wow what a surprise. The food that was cooked by students was incredible. I wish I could name the chefs in this review but I have no idea of there names. So very impressive for such young people. Charlie was our server and all I can say is awesome, so friendly and engaging and could not have done anything more to make our experience any better. Perfect. Thank you, we will definitely be back.

First class unassuming service on a pretty quiet mid week January evening. Food throughout very good and well presented. Excellent value, as was the wine by the glass especially the 2022 Languedoc chardonnay.

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!

The best fish and chips I've had for a long time. The food is excellent and the staff very welcoming especially Sam and the lady with her. A lovely place to meet up with friends.

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.

Excellent service, really delicious food , great menu with plenty of choice. Higher recommended will definitely come again.

Absolutely loved the visit at the Parlour Tearoom! Staff were friendly and service was awesome as a whole. The scones were incredible and the brownies, just wow. Honestly, with those brownies, I was thinking of the song “Heaven is a place on earth” by Belinda Carlisle whilst eating those brownies. So crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle, absolute delight to eat those! Definitely recommend!

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.

Great coffee and cakes! Stopped in for a visit with my husband and my mum after buying some wool and the cakes were excellent. Great selection of hot and cold drinks and nice to sit and relax in such a calm space.

Went for lunch to try the Thai food. Good size portions and lovely food. Will definitely be back to sample the rest of the menu.

The staff are lovely, the coffee is great, and the downstairs seating area is so peaceful even with people down there. The WiFi is very hit and miss, although it is free, expect to struggle to connect to it downstairs.

...just stopped for a quick meeting .. Christmas specials were fantastic! pork rolls with stuffing and apple sauce but the menu says different season dishes each day up until Chirstmas..

Good beer and good friendly service
