The best restaurants serving Default food in Burghclere, Highclere and St Mary Bourne Basingstoke and Deane South East

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.

After being turned away by a nearby pub, we were warmly welcomed at the Red House and served a fantastic lunch by the landlady herself. The pub is clean, the service is fantastic and the food was great. As a bonus, there is a deli on the premises that serves beautifully looking food, cheeses, meats, cakes and coffee. The bakes are to die for and the coffee is great but the friendly service by everyone we encountered made this experience unforgettable for us.

We went for a family Sunday lunch but unfortunately it did not live up to our expectations, it had gammon on the menu as a roast and it was rashers off bacon not a gammon steak. Also we were only given one set of veg between 10 off us we complained and was told they would get us some more but it never turned so some of us had no veg very dissatisfied. We will not be returning in the future I am afraid.

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

Overrun staff, really poor food and dirty tables. Not sure if we just got a really 'off' day but that wasn't a good experience.

My husband is super fussy about his Sunday roasts and I tend to do them, as any time we’re out for one, he complains 😂. Having passed you several times, on the way to our daughters, we finally decided to give you a try, last Sunday. We found you to be a beautifully quintessential English country pub, with wonderful staff and 10/10 food. Risk-free “eating out”, that we cannot recommend enough.

Friendly host, super food drinks, lovely bright eood frame dining area. Busy car park, awkward with our camper van, easy access off A34 south of Newbury

Good food lovely garden and very friendly

Good service and great beer selection!

Great customer service and very prompt arrival of meals for our group of 12. Delightfull surroundings. Will definitely return.

Great staff, lovely to sit by the fire in the bar. Restaurant area felt a bit formal to me so stayed in the bar. Food was excellent but very small portions, and not cheap either. I had the gammon and could have eaten 2 plates.

Great friendly place for a pint 🍻

Me and my partner came out on the hope Bourne Valley Inn was going to have space for 2 for dinner, it was our 3 year anniversary today and BVI did not disappoint! We got served by a Corey, he was very funny and even though there was a limited menu it didn’t change anything, he made us feel very comfortable. We will definitely be returning!! Well done Corey and team ❤️ It was a drive to get here as it’s a bit isolated but we enjoyed every moment.

Our 4th visit, lovely wonderful staff. Real value for money. Why pay £26 for 8 oz sirloin steak in Freefolk, when you can have 16oz rump steak for the same price at The George St. Mary Bourne. Lovely atmosphere, great value for money.

We wanted somewhere for my birthday lunch but being in a Motorhome can make finding parking challenging. We were visiting Highclere and passed this pub and did a quick u-turn. We were able to park at the back of the car park as it had a couple of extra long spaces. We were asked if we had booked a table and advised we hadn't, the serving lady found us a lovely table in the window for 2 plus our dog. We didn't want a big lunch so I chose the scotch egg starter with a side of chips, my hubby had cod cheek scampi with fries and salad. It was lovely, cooked beautifully and tasted homemade. Prices of some dishes were a little hefty but our dishes were well priced. There were dog snacks and water bowls We would definitely recommend, some dishes we saw coming out certainly looked very generous portions so be warned. Congratulations to the lady serving as she was serving behind the bar as well as waitressing, I don't think the pub had anticipated being quite so busy but she managed extraordinarily well until a colleague turned up to assist, well done.
