Nice, quiet yet lively atmosphere. Food tasted phenomenal. Service was great, not much else I could ask for… Pleasant birthday surprise at the end too! All in all a great experience.

Great experience tonight, warm welcome and seated quickly. Alicia our server was great, very bubbly and attentive which was great to experience. Fillet steaks were very tasty and cooked to perfection. Thanks and be back soon

Spicy Tadka

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant, and it truly exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with a warm and friendly atmosphere that immediately made me feel comfortable. The interior was clean, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, creating the perfect balance between elegance and relaxation. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a special occasion or simply unwind with a great meal. ?????

German Doner Kebab

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing outstanding customer service from pooja .
She was professional, very friendly and incredibly responsive.
Great to visit GDK

Yamazaki Sushi Bar

Our waiter called Shandi was incredibly lovely and knowledgeable! She had amazing recommendations and was so kind.
The food was delicious! As a student I would love for the prices to be a bit more affordable but you did get a filling portion.
I highly recommend the tofu udon noodles, the tofu was perfect and crispy!
Great menu for fellow vegans and vegetarians too ??

The Olive House

High quality food and service
Nice staff
Gianfranco as a manager is very professional and welcoming.
We enjoyed our experience in house of olive
Highly recommended

Afrizi

This restaurant was very lovely, the staff are friendly and the food was delicious. I had Jollof rice with chicken stew with Lychee drink on the side, I was very happy with it and will definitely return in the future.

Côte Basingstoke

We had such a lovely birthday meal at Côte Brasserie — the food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed yet special, and the staff went the extra mile to make the evening memorable. Everything from start to finish was perfect, and the little touches made it feel really personal. Highly recommend for any occasion!

The Jolly Farmer

Couple, lunch. Mains were tamarind duck and teriyaki steak. Both were good. The starters were however excellent. We shared prawn crackers, salt & pepper squid, and prawn toasts. All were very good indeed. We'll be back, and may well just get a broad selection of the excellent starters to share as a meal. They were that good.

Harvester Stag & Hounds Basingstoke

I had a wonderful experience thanks to Ashley. From the moment we walked in, she was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. She was quick to answer all our questions and went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed. It’s not often you find such great service these days! I really appreciated her positive attitude and the genuine care she put into making our visit enjoyable. I would definitely recommend asking for her if you ever get the chance!

Las Iguanas - Basingstoke

Took las iguanas up on their £17 all you can eat tapas, some of the dishes you get are worth actually cost £10 each so you easily get your money back. You get an hour and half and you can order 3 dishes each time between two people. My boyfriend and I were able to order all the dishes we wanted. You need to book ahead to get the offer.

Honestly the food was okay, the tapas are not as good as the mains at las iguanas but for that price point I don't mind. If I had paid full price for each dish I'd definitely feel scammed?. Usually the tapas is on the drinks menu so I think it's stuff that people order when they are drunk. It was tasty don't get me wrong but very one note the food, Taco Bell quality to be honest when I kinda expect more from las iguanas. Been to las iguanas many times the cocktails are really fun and the mains are ?But honestly really fun experience having unlimited options and trying new food! There were also lots of options of vegetarians on the menu so don't think you'd miss out if your veggie.

The staff were very lovely and attentive thank you both. Sorry we ordered so many times lmao.

Here's all the dishes rated:
Hot honey halloumi: 8/10 the best so yummy real halloumi
PÃO DE QUEIJO: 8/10 a must try like dough balls but so much better the garlic dip is delicious like Papa John's garlic dip
The loaded nachos: 7/10 very yummy nice guac can't go wrong with loaded nachos
Fried chicken: 7/10 again delicious excellently presented
PATATAS BRAVAS: 6/10 yummy try it
CALAMARES: 6/10 yummy as well good squid
ROASTED RED PEPPER SALAD: 6/10 decent salad. Was too full to appreciate tbh
The hot honey chicken wings: 5/10 nice chicken but wasn't giving that hot honey flavour
Chicken quesadilla: 4/10 eh presentation super disappointing
Pork quesadilla: 3/10 just tasted like unseasoned pork mince in a wrap with cheese. Just make this your self at home.
Overall 7/10 do it because it is fun and cheap!!

The Queen Inn

I was invited for lunch by my friend and his wife. Unfortunately I didn't feel like eating so my marks are for their meals and the presentation.

Very Olde Worlde interior but spotlessly clean, including the toilets. Very friendly and welcoming staff, Not the cheapest but a nice little village local, well supported by both locals and visitors.

Small car park to the front but parking is permitted on the road, albeit this is also a bus route so care is needed.

Definitely worth a visit.

Zizzi - Basingstoke

Such a wonderful dinner experience made ever so special as it’s our anniversary and Amelia T did everything to make our night that much more excellent with fantastic service and a lovely smile for the both of us! Amelia is a credit to your team and she should be rewarded! Thank you so much again!!

Bounty Inn

A true proper pub. Friendly staff and customers. Great food but absolutely not a restaurant. No two visits are the same. For instance Sunday afternoon turned into an impromptu sing along when some local musicians stopped by on their way from a rehearsal. A pub where all are welcome.

Amore Italian Restaurant

Amazing,honestly Amazing. Amore is a beautiful cozy restaurant that serves love and happiness.The staff make you feel like they know you from a lifetime remembering small details about you and even asking for your family!I have never been to a restaurant and felt like home.The food?Oh a taste of Italy right in your doorstep!Not to mention the prices!Really really cheap for what you get!And they don't even put the service charge in the bill which i definitely would recommend it to them as its very well deserved.Thank you for the love that you give,just as your name AMORE

The Barley Mow

David and his team have done an incredible job of turning our local pub into the heart of the village. Welcoming, amazing food, lovely atmosphere and very family friendly. We love it here and appreciate David and the team so much. Best pub ever!!

The Fox

We had a wonderful meal for our mums 82 birthday, the food was so lovely and the service was so so friendly, the staff were amazing, they literally couldn’t do enough for us, they were so helpful . We will definitely be back, thank you guys for making our occasion really special,

The Wheatsheaf

As usual everything was excellent I have now stayed every August for the last four years staff are all superb and would not stay anywhere else thanks again.T.Hodgson.

Spruce Goose Beefeater

We decided to give this a go after years of breakfasts at a rival outlet. This was £10.99 for unlimited dining. It was true to its ad. We were welcomed with a smile which is always a good start. The food was well cooked and never in short supply. You have a choice of the full English or the lighter cereal, yoghurt, fruit, pancakes etc. You have no limit (other than your appetite) and also a good range of hot drinks from the coffee machine. The food was lovely (my friend said the pancakes were iffy but the rest was delicious). All-in-all a superb experience for a great price. Will definitely be returning to this at some point soon.

CHENNAI EXPRESS

Having eaten at both Fleet and Basingstoke restaurants. Great food brilliant staff. Great atmosphere loads of menu options always leave with smile beaming from ear to ear

The Red Lion, Overton

The Red Lion is an absolute gem in the heart of Overton. The food is nothing short of amazing—fresh, full of flavor, and clearly made with love. Whether you’re after a hearty pub classic or something a little more refined, they deliver every time.

What really sets The Red Lion apart, though, is the people. The team go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and are always thinking of ways to bring the community together. From themed nights and live music to charity events and local celebrations, they truly go the extra mile to entertain and support the village.

A proper local pub with real heart. Highly recommended!

Chulo Thakali Kitchen

What really stood out was the service. The staff were so attentive, kind, and genuinely caring throughout our visit. They made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in and checked in regularly to make sure everything was perfect.

Such a lovely experience from start to finish – we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Food was delicious as well!!!

wagamama basingstoke

Perfect lunchtime pick! The chicken teriyaki rice bowl at Wagamama Basingstoke is fresh, tasty, and filling without being heavy. The service is super friendly, and those cosy two‑seater booths make the whole experience a delight

The Crown

Jim, Steve and the team are fantastic. Always excellent tasty food. Great gluten free menu. Homemade, fresh food. The burgers are the best I have had in years. Don't like to go anywhere else. Oh and super dog friendly too. Once you have been here you won't want to go anywhere else x

The Sun Inn

Came here because restaurant down the road had a water pipe burst. Very willing to accommodate us! 7 for lunch. Great variety in the menu. Pleasant waitress. Tasty food.

The Beach Arms Stonehouse

Had a lovely visit to the pub for a carvery and couldn’t fault it. The food was fresh, well-cooked, and generously portioned and the Yorkshire puddings were spot on. Plenty of choice at the veg counter and everything was hot. Big shoutout to Ashleigh who looked after our table – friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. Overall, a warm, welcoming atmosphere with great value for money. Will be back!

BrewDog Basingstoke

I have been here countless times including just for drinks, Wing Wednesday's, watching the big international football games and live music nights. Plenty of choice for food, reasonable pricing and good drinks selection, particularly for my Brewdog obsessed partner. Service is always quick and friendly. They have games available which we have enjoyed. Lots of seating indoors and out. Highly recommend for all year round and more than just a standard pub. Recommend.

The Lime Leaf

Excellent restaurant. I went with a group and everyone seemed to have enjoyed their food. I had the best vegetable green curry that I've had in the UK. The service was also exceptional

Cromwell Tandoori

We love the Cromwell. Food is excellent Indian cuisine. Proper tablecloths, proper linen napkins, reasonable prices. Their lunchtime banquet @ £16 is more than most can eat

The Gamekeepers

Very quaint country pub located off the beaten track, but definitely worth a visit. Went for a working lunch mid week so it was very quiet.
Food was delicious, and many home-made dishes. I had the duck and plumbing sausages, and they were full of flavour. Portions were generous and the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Would like to return when it's busier for the atmosphere.

The Fur & Feathers

An excellent Sunday lunch! As a former chef and an avid country pub enthusiast! I could tell somebody really cared about what they were doing in the kitchen! My roast was excellent and my girlfriend’s vegetarian roast was exceptional! I will be back !

The Fox Inn

I came on the 26 of august as a tourist traveling on my bike. They helped me out with a camping information and food. Lovely people and very helpful. They provide me with good cultural information on the country. I hope to come back on the next bike trip in your village. Cheers.

Chick-Mex

kind staff, good food! i lost my lip piercing in their shop and they went out of their way to find it and return it to me half an hour later!
i would never go anywhere else for food on a night out :)

The Hoddington Arms

A lovely day/evening had. Accommodation perfect for a night away. Food of a very high standard. If you stay over, include breakfast… it’s incredible value for just an extra £15.

Anu Caterers

We had food services for our baby shower and couldn’t be happier! The food was absolutely delicious and our guests loved every bite. The service was smooth and professional, which made the day stress-free for us. We highly recommend them for any special occasion! ?

Oliver's

Absolutely delightful! Fish and chips cooked to perfection and such superb staff. Called in for a takeaway when passing - Huss and chips, so nice to find Huss served, my favourite but not often found anymore. Food excellent , staff fabulous, thank you for a memorable meal. Oliver’s is not a place to pass by, this will be my destination fish shop in future!

Sunny Takeaway

I've used this place for many years, over that time I've not had anything but amazing food, however, due to COVID the OG will no longer be returning, therefore, his family members are now working the kitchen and what a fantastic job they're doing... as the kitchen is now under new staff - PLEASE do make sure you pass on any feedback which they'll really appreciate!

ASK Italian

It was a special occasion tonight, my daughter’s 7th birthday! Thank you so much for the great food tonight guys, you made my daughter and us very happy! Excellent customer service, cheerful and energetic staff, ten out of ten! Big shout out to Gleb in the kitchen and Lino and Emanuel! Well done guys, I will definitely recommend this restaurant to my family and friends, and that’s your credit!

Mayflower Chinese Restaurant

Came here on Saturday night with some friends after a long day out in London and they fitted us in - I found the service efficient and abrupt, not rude at all but a little abrupt anyway!Food was great - cooked to order rather than Sat keeping warm so there was the correct balance of ordering and waiting for it to arrive, not too fast and not too slow either. Not unreasonably priced for a sit down Chinese restaurant. All in all, very enjoyable.

ShakeAway

Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Lots of great options available, best hot chocolate in town, and adding peanut butter is a great idea I had never thought of until now. I plan to try more of the menu in the near future too, as they can make shakes vegan.

Wimpy

Great food and value for money. The place is well managed, staff are attentive, the furniture is well maintained and clean. Toilets are all in order and kept to a good clean standard, great job, see you soon

Blue Cafe Bar

Papa Johns Pizza

Ordered over 15 pizzas and 20 sides for a large corporate lunch. Ordered before the restaurant opened very easily via the website and they took my order the minute they opened. Left my mobile number for the driver who did contact me when he was a few minutes away so I could meet him for the pickup. Very friendly service and courteous, and the pizzas and sides were piping hot on arrival. Tasted great! We'll definitely order again

McDonald's

I would just like to say how grateful I am to the manager at McDonalds town centre. A brand new phone was accidentally left in the restaurant by my soon to be ex -husband.
We assumed that would be the last of seeing that, until I received a phone call telling me it was in the safe hands of the manager and it would be kept safe until we could get it.
On going in to collect it I was told it had been fully charged and locked up in the safe overnight.

You sir, are an absolute legend and I am so thankful. ?

Chi Street Food

Never a dissapointment. While the atmosphere can be quiet, the food is always fast, hot and delicious. Much higher *quality* cooking than the other asian street/fastfood places in basingstoke, the slightly higher price tag is easily justified. My 8th visit or something like that.

Scooperb Basingstoke

The “ pizza waffles “ were really nice but the veggies one due to being so generously topped with ingredients , it was still a bit cold and cheese didn’t melt properly, the margarita ones were perfect , amazing Sundaes .

Poppins Restaurant & Cafe - Basingstoke

My husband and I go to Poppins atleast once a month for breakfast and most half terms with our children. The staff are fantastic, so friendly and helpful, always willing to change any items on the menu to suit personal tastes. The service is very quick and efficient. Would highly recommend.

Willows Coffee House

Super cool spot found this while walking into town, I’m from the US when I told them it was my first time in UK they treated me so well. Love the energy I come here often for Coffee and a quick bite ?

Charlie's Cafe

Absolutely outstanding traditional cafe! The breakfast is amazing...every part of it from the chips, bacon, sausages! Honestly if you want a good hearty meal this is the one but the other part that made me want to review is the prices! Unbelievable in today's world and such a good menu....honestly give it a try you won't be disappointed. We came in randomly on a day out to Basingstoke (from reading) I wish this cafe was in Readung I'd go no where else! 5+ stars....honestly go and try it!

Gabardine Bar

Good fish and chips, good starters, tasty burgers. I have enjoyed the desert too, but german strudel wasn't at my expectations.. Nice friendly staff, good location. Thank you!

Chineham Indian Cuisine

I ordered a chicken tikka masala at vindaloo hot and the curry was out of this world. My partner ordered standard chicken tikka masala. We both agree that last night was genuinely the best curry we have both ever had. We have eaten here a few times now and the food is always stunning, however last night it was perfect.
The naan bread is also just WOW. ?

- some extra mint source to have with our chicken chat and puree would have been nice though as they was a little dry. We did order an additional tub of mint source for this reason, but it still wasn’t enough for us both

The Oak

Great Sunday roast good staff great atmosphere thank you
Attended on the 10/08 for another Sunday roast fantastic again great food great service again. Can't wait till next Sunday. Thanks again

The Riverdene

We went here for the opening day, had a great time as a family of four.
There’s lots of space for the kids to enjoy with an outdoor play park. Aswell as indoor games such as pool. There’s looks to be lots of events planned including karaoke nights ect. We joined the Facebook group so we can keep updated.
There’s picnic bench’s in the beer garden, to enjoy a drink in the sunshine. And ample seating inside of the weather isn’t as warm.
Very welcoming staff behind the bar with lots of drink options. They are also really reasonable priced drinks.
We spent most of the day there, enjoying a willls meals in the evening which can be ordered to eat in.
We will 100% be will be returning regularly.
Worth mentioning, The newly refreshed décor looks brilliant; modern, welcoming, and really adds to the atmosphere. Great job by all involved.
Highly recommend visiting!

Cafe in the Park - Beggarwood

We had a stop there with our coach on our way to Bombay Sapphire. Very friendly people. Nice food at an affordable price. We were glad to support the local community.

The King Of Wessex

Lovely friendly pub, great offers on cocktails 2for1 between 5&8 everyday. Lovely seating area, outside TV for sports. Family friendly & also dog friendly

Laarsens

Great pub, both during the week and for nights out on weekends (always busy)
Staff are friendly and attentive, huge beer garden with plenty of shelter and overhead heaters. Decent pint of Guinness, too

Oakridge Fish & Chips & Chinese Takeaway

This is our local; and possibly one of the best around town (have had similar meals elsewhere around town). Food is consistently good, we have a selection of meals.

Golden Lion

My closest pub and I'm so glad. I feel comfortable coming into this pub on my own or just with my dog. Staff are always friendly and kind. Lovely vibe over Christmas too. Very welcoming and very dog friendly.

Duck & Tipple

Amazing service from the staff. Everything was perfect. I did complain that my husband stole my hummus even though he doesn't eat it at home when I have it ?. Lovely place, amazing staff

Station Kebabs

Fantastic kebab van that's been at this location for many many years. Staff are always friendly and love having a chat to you.Have never had a bad experience there and the food has always been good. Some may say the prices are high, but for the quantity and quality, I'd say the pricing is bang on.There isn't any official parking at the site, the spaces nearby are for disabled or permit holders, but in practice you're able to park there and wait whilst they make your food without issue.Obviously busiest on Friday/Saturday evenings, so best to go before the pubs start kicking people out if you want to avoid a wait.Definitely be returning, hope they stay there for a long time!

Hartley's Kitchen

Found this hidden gem and so pleased we did. Lovely coffee, freshly made cheese and spinach omelette, breakfast wrap and homemade flapjack. Service fantastic, warm and friendly. Dog made very welcome. Unfortunately can only sit outside (which has covered area) with dogs unless service dog. Only drawback for me was the smokers from offices who didn’t even buy anything but sat smoking nearby. Could do with signs on table with no smoking zone. However in spite of this will still return!

The Royal Oak

Stunning celebration meal. Thankyou so much to the two lovely ladies that gave us 5 star service and also cooked us the most delicious Nepalese food. We enjoyed the momo so much that there was not a chance for me to take a picture. Everything was fantastic and locals were friendly. We can't wait to come back!

Mr Munch

Lovely clean and tidy. Food is reasonable price. The jacket was microwaved and the drinks flat. However lovely chips, baguette were nice. Staff friendly and definitely know there regulars and look after them remembering names and what they like. Disabled friendly but toilets are down stairs.

The Greyhound

Simple menu, good food well cooked.
We enjoyed our visit and would recommend.
Several of us were surprised not to find roasts on the Sunday menu, but what there was being served all looked delicious!

Youngs Fish Bar, Basingstoke (No Delivery Currently)

With Chinese foods so readily available in most places and supermarkets, why is a takeaway still worth the trip once or more times a week. For Young's, the answer is the people preparing, cooking and serving your meals. The curry was lovingly home-made from scratch every week, the fish and chips very generous and fresh, and my favourite - Singapore noodles, must equal to the offerings found in Singapore. Many basic supplies now cost many times before like OIL used. So I could appreciate their cost saving initiatives like cash only. I could only be grateful that there are still passionate local Chinese takeaways like Young's.

Smiley's Kebab

Delicious kebabs, and the portion sizes are very generous- like Halil! Upon arriving we realised it was cash only. The absolute gent said just to pay it back when we can. Offered us some sample chicken fresh off the grill too! Highly recommend for the service alone- the good food is for sure a bonus.

Caffè Nero

Great staff, always friendly and efficient. Reasonable selection of cakes and snacks, some comfortable easy chairs as well as usual table layout. Coffee is way better than Costa in my opinion. Happy to use this place regularly.

Pret A Manger

Congratulations Armagan for the excellent job you do leading and teaching your team. Creating a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and providing an excellent service.

Woos Takeaway

Great food from these folks!Service is always tip top. Small business but wonderful serviceHighly recommend to visit and one of the best.Only down side is they don’t deliverDietary restrictions: Varied menu but allergens clearly markedParking: May have to wait for a space as area is popular.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly and safe spaceWheelchair accessibility: Single width door with small threshold

Greggs

It isn't gourmet food, but that's not why you go to Greggs ?‍♂️

Coffee is fine, reasonably priced, and on the occasion I want baked beans in a puff pastry pocket I'm never disappointed ?

King's Pizza and Kebabs

The chicken tikka kebab is amazing!!! We’ve been ordering as a family every other week for over a year now. The consistency of quality and value for money is amazing.

Costa Coffee

Sadly the woman who served me had a bit of an attitude. As for the man who did my coffee, he was lovely and made my experience more enjoyable.

The woman who served me should not assume that everyone is going to pay by card, which she did and got the hump with me because I wanted to pay by cash.

Coffee is getting expensive at the moment but it's my treat on a Wednesday after working in the morning and ending off with a dog walk.

Well done to the barista man doing the coffee for me.

China Garden

This has become a regular place to get takeaway from as it is local, easy to park and pick up form and has Tesco next to it to pick up things like drinks etc.

The portions are generous, I overheard someone say they split their takeaway as its big enough for 2 but I prefer having leftovers the next day.

There is a wide variety of dishes to choose from making it nice to go back and not have the same thing every time. The price is also very reasonable

My order was cooked within 10 minutes so by the time I popped into Tesco and back out my order was done. It can get busy and there are seats available but sometimes they are all used meaning g you have to stand and wait but there is enough room to no feel like you are in the way when that happens.

The Angel - JD Wetherspoon

Standard Wetherspoons (which is a good thing). No waiting for a table and staff were quite helpful but one of the drinks machines ran out, meaning I ended up in conversation with a stranger while waiting for the working machine. (Good/Bad? You decide).
