Didn't have food, just a drink ?. Great traditional pub and very popular.

Cracking old pub, one of the oldest in town. Always a couple of tasty guest ales on tap.

Amazing food, and well priced, burgers, chicken, chips, dirty fries, anything on menu is a great choice! Cocktails were also impressive, best in Basingstoke!

My son and I, on business, were staying in a rather soulless hotel and so had a search of the web to see what else might be around for a couple of beers and a bite to eat. We weren't looking for fine dining, just something nice and more convivial surroundings. So we booked a table and rocked up. On arrival, we were able to sit 'where we liked', so ordered a couple of pints of (what turned out to be very well-kept!) beer and perused the menu. The landlady asked if we 'had come for the quiz?' - we hadn't, but said we see if we were still there. The pub filled, every table taken (Tuesday eve!!) and so we decided to take part. The food was great! Simple (burgers, chicken, hotdogs, etc) but all with a twist and all REALLY tasty and plentiful. But the pub is a gem! A proper, old school local - but not one where you're made to feel like you've entered the slaughtered lamb on entry! - even the gents is outside! The locals were friendly, as were the landlord and landlady, so we ended up having a cracking evening. On a Tuesday, in the rain, in Basingstoke. Who'da thought it?! To cap it all off, my son and I won the quiz (we had some very lucky breaks in the questions!) so stuck half the winnings back behind the bar by buying a couple of large 12yo Dalmores. Now, a pub that has that on its top shelf has definitely got something going for it. May this pub flourish and prosper; a hidden gem.

Interesting pub on the edge of Basingstoke town centre. Initially when I walked in I thought I'd made a mistake & pub didn't sell any cask beers!However I'm glad to report although not immediately obvious the pub sells at least three cask but situated on the tiny back bar! Two beers tried & very drinkable. The pub is multiple roomed around a central long bar which carries a good range of drinksIt was warm comfortable & sells food.( Check times available).

Great pub. All the draught is kept well especially the Guinness. The food is excellent. The staff are all really attentive and friendly especially Donna!
Nice little pub, decent staff, good atmosphere, but toilet was a mess on my visit, with no loo roll ?

Great food, friendly staff. Unfortunately quite empty when I visited but it was a Monday night so that's to be expectedVegetarian options: Vegan burger is great and the salt and chilli chips are spot on.

Popped in for an early evening pint. Clearly well looked after beer, nice brew from Southampton. Very nice. Solid local pub.
