The best restaurants in Basing Basingstoke and Deane South East

We came for the afternoon tea and we loved it. The presentation and quality was good. The restaurant has nice view to grounds with many colourful flowers. Anna has been amazing . So friendly and helpful. Nice selection of teas. We definitely will be back. We were told that zanetta from kitchen prepared our afternoon tea.

We had lunch there and as usual the food and service was very good. The food arrived at our table hot and fresh. Would recommend this cafe.

Cosy, tidy and clean are excellent starts for the Old House. Menus is quite limited and my burger was very wet, just dripping oil which makes for messy eating. Service was good, could have been more friendly but remember this isn't a restaurant. I would eat here again.

17 of us have just had a Christmas lunch at the Bolton Arms. Ali and her team looked after extremely well, and the food was fantastic - in fact the nicest and best value Christmas meal we'd ever had in a pub. Every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our experience and I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!

Very tired garden centre. Not the best selection of plants indoors or out. Cafe doesn't seem very inviting and staff are not very approachable.

Found this place by chance whilst searching the net for b&bs in Basingstoke. How lucky we were-it's a little gem. Located right next to the River Lodden, it's an old mill which has been tastefully renovated so that it has lost none of its charm. The reception/bar area is tastefully dressed and the area leading down to the restraunt gave us a big surprise as all the old works of the mill were on display. The area outside had plenty of seating alongside the river bank. The accommodation of 12 rooms are situated in a quieter area away from the main building. Our room had a huge king size bed, plenty of storage and a big walk in shower. The room was very clean and tidy and we had a good sleep. We ate in the outer bar area and the food was top notch. The description pub grub does not do it justice. We had fish and chips and it was excellently cooked with a light, crisp batter-just as we like it. Breakfast was included in the room rate and again was excellent. We had the eggs benedict. Finally, and importantly a big thank you to the staff who were polite, attentive and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble, so a big 10/10 for them. Will definitely return and recommend it for sure.

I have been 2 times before, the price is SO expensive, but it’s so yummy I still come. We came and got charged an extra £2.50 just for dairy free ice cream and £1 extra (add on to £4.50) for plain waffle. I asked how this is fair and the pricing as my friend and I are splitting, I got spoken to like I was stupid and after understanding what the worker meant, she rudely said ‘that’s what I said!’. Not to mention the 15 minute wait and we waited 10 minutes before she even started to cook the waffle. This ruined my experience and will be the last time coming here!

A very friendly team of staff, excellent table service. A really good menu and especially good selection of food for my partner who is coeliac.
