Pub dining in Basingstoke

“Visited Miller & Carter Basingstoke today for a late evening dinner. Upon arrival swiftly seated and starting drinks were delivered promptly. Our server Sam was attentive and on the ball. Frequently checking to ensure food was fine & we had sufficient drinks to pair with our food. Once finished our food in no time at all the table was cleared and we were offered desert menu and refreshing drinks. Showing Sam's keen eye of attention noticing immediately our mains had been finished. Food was excellent and arrived in good time. Flavoured and seasoned to perfection. Again no fault whatsoever here.”

“I celebrated my 21st birthday at Cote Brasserie with my girlfriend. Sam, Melissa and Angel were brilliant waiters, very attentive and friendly. Made my birthday very special and even gave me a card which was a lovely touch! Thank you :)”

“A very bubily atmosphere and Alina went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed even when there was a medical emergency going on. 100 stars if I could.”

“An absolutely gorgeous pub! The food was excellent - everything tasted home made, whether it was or not. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I had the pie with red cabbage and the red cabbage was far too sweet - the same for the gravy with the sausages and mash. Other than that, the best pub meal I've had in a long time and everyone else agreed.”

“I recently enjoyed a delightful luncheon with friends at this establishment. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing, and the staff was exceptionally courteous. The food was, without a doubt, delicious. I certainly plan to return.”

“This place is a little gem! I searched best burger in Basingstoke, and it didn't disappoint! The staff went out of their way to accommodate my Coeliac daughter, even popping out to buy gluten free bread! Chef came out and chatted to us! So friendly, so chilled, we thoroughly enjoyed a non rushed lunch and stayed for pudding and coffee as the atmosphere was so relaxed and friendly. The black cherry gateaux explosion was the best part of the day!!!”

“Customer service was excellent! We were served by two young lads who were really helpful and gave great advice on what to choose based on our preferences, as it was our first visit. It was a real pleasure to see young people who genuinely seemed to enjoy their work. The food was great too – would definitely recommend!”

“Stayed for the night following a friend's birthday celebration. Warm welcome on check in and everything explained regarding breakfast and checking out. Beautiful large room for 2 of us to share, everything you could need to make a comfortable stay. Bathroom with a large walk in shower, looked fairly new and sparkling clean. Comfy beds and a fabulous breakfast in the morning. Perfectly poached eggs. The evening meal was lovely everyone was impressed with their choices and portion sizes were fabulous for the price. Staff were happy to add a candle to our friend's desert for us. Definitely would recommend and would stay again if in the area.”

“Proper quality pub food, the gentlemen Jacob was genuinely on point and was egar to help with any questions, this is the fort pub I've been to in a while that actually caters for their customers, providing genuine customer support and a top grade customer service I recently moved into tadley and now this.. will and forever be my local boozer for food, drink and of course sports on the telly. Thank you fox and hound ☺️”

“We just had our wedding at Barton’s mill and it was incredible. The staff were amazing and helpful and friendly, the food was delicious and they set up the tables with the decor we provided beautifully. Flo our co ordinator was so lovely and took away our stresses and Chanelle who looked after us in the morning kept us updated and on time with the order of the day. Absolutely worth every penny and a gorgeous venue to hold a wedding.”

“Me and my girlfriend decided we would try out the food in this fine establishment. We bought a drink at the bar then was taken to our seats to order food. It happened to be steak night and our waiter (Luke) was absolutely amazing, with good old British banter but also very professional. I always get a Rib/eye steak, but like recommended something else by like and I was not disappointed at all. My other half got fish and chips which was cooked to perfection, and oh my god the beef dripping chips are to die for! We will 100% be back, and give Luke a raise because he deserves one!!”

“Delicious food, great service. Very nice cozy place, dog friendly only little minus was to cold.”

“Ordered takeaway from here on Saturday lunchtime. Delivery was really quick, less than half an hour. Staff were friendly, called me to confirm order. Food was really good, nice amount of veg mixed in, you don't always get that. Great to know a good local Chinese.”

“My wife had an operation scheduled at Basingstoke Hospital on 15th Jan - was a major op re cancer diagnosis and went on for 5 hours. We stayed at the hospital for 2 weeks in total. While she was in surgery, i went for a walk in the countryside to take my mind off events - after an hour or so of walking, i ended up at the Swan (i had looked it up before starting walk!). I was warmly welcomed by the staff there, who were really helpful as well as accommodating ( they helped me with where to find a local village shop and post office) While there, i noticed a promotion on the website regarding AllTrails where you used their app for a local walk and ended up at the pub for a free breakfast. So, on the Friday morning, i completed another long walk, helped by All trails, and arrived at the Swan for 9am. I had a lovely breakfast, eggs Benedict, presented beautifully and really tasty - and although tempting, resisted having a pint with it… 9am just too early! I came back the following week for a sandwich at lunchtime - again, lovely food, well presented and tasty! Thank you to the Swan - i would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting a warm welcome, great food and a well deserved drink - whether you’ve had a long walk in the country or just driven there. Will definitely be back.”

“Visited the Spruce Goose in Basingstoke and had a brilliant experience from start to finish. Mum enjoyed the sea bass, which was beautifully cooked, and I had the mixed grill — generous portions and full of flavour. Our waiter, Adam, was outstanding. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the meal even more enjoyable. A great place for a relaxed meal with excellent service. Highly recommend!”
