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

Was in the middle of eating my lunch when I needed a drink of water. Went up to get a water came back to find my lunch had been taken away. Even though my coat and bag was on the back of the chair to show that there was still someone sat there. I asked the lad have you just taken my food and he said yes sorry then walked off. Bar was busy but only 2 people working behind it. So bit of a que.

Great service from the staff. Thank you See you again soon. 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Avoiding motorways, driving across country, we found this pub. Hosts were inviting and the food excellent, everything was fresh and prepared to order and was well presented in a timely manner. Even though I live in Sussex, the next time I’m in the area, I will head for this pub again. Thank you

This was the first time we have been here it was for a funeral of a navy friend from 1969. It was marvellous bing every way the decor ambience friendly staff making ourselves welcome and at ease. The menu very good and spoilt for choice I had beef cannelloni which was delicious and wholesome. The only down side ITS CARDv only. I left mine at home unfortunately my fiends came to my rescue. You should be proud for such a wonderful pub/,restaurant. Thank you from our group

food was 10-10, great customer service from all staff, the guy with black beard in particular. nice outside area and decor is nine inside. would highly recommend to anyone wanting some nice grub. stay happy.!

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

We popped into the cafe whilst visiting family in the village, the staff were friendly and helpful, I had a bacon bap and a coffee which was pretty good, the cafe also had a good selection of cheese and wine to take away, I'll return when in the village next

Came in for breakfast with my family. the food was hot, tasty and great value for money Also the chef Martin made us laugh.

Had fish and chips but won't again. Fish had no batter on it and chips laid on top, fish was soggy and meal portion was bad. Ordered large fish but was no where near that. Won't eat here again

Okay so basically i went here and like and u it was cool and that but so like it wasnt you know that kind of chippy but yeah it was you know your normalchippy over here in coventry

We popped in for a usual pint and catch up with regulars on Saturday. The car park reguster is still positioned in its usual place right by the area people wait to be seated for food . This means that it can not be easily seen by people and is difficult to get to it would be better positioned either in the main entrance hall way area or somewhere that it can be seen and accessed without having to ask people to move so as you can use it. The bar was so busy, lots of confusion and the Landlady had to take over bar service, with people waiting for over 10 minutes to be served some (like us) were overlooked Some of the tables in the bar area were not cleared with dirty plates and glasses and some had not been wiped down. Since the refurbishment more tables have been added to the bar area so it is cramped and no way accessible for a disabled person. Whilst I appreciate you can never predict how many staff you need each day it was clear to see on the day we visited it was chaos and not the usual service we have enjoyed. Sadly, after waiting and waiting to be served or even acknowledged at the bar with a ' I'll be with you in a moment ' we left and went else where. What a shame as the refurbishment looks nice.

I don't mind the self service, but the options were so limited. I'm gluten free and I basically couldn't get anything that wasn't available in the food court, and it was a significant mark up in price. Spent £20 for 2 sandwiches and a coffee! The high chairs were dirty, even though they'd been stacked. Not up to usual M&S standard.
