Best Gastro Pubs in Basingstoke

From the moment we arrived at the Northbrook Arms, we were made to feel completely at home. The setting is stunning – a perfect blend of countryside charm and stylish comfort. The pub itself is beautifully decorated, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes it ideal for everything from a quiet drink to a special meal. The food was absolutely delicious – beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly made with care and quality ingredients. The drinks menu was also excellent, with a great selection of local ales, fine wines, and cocktails. What really sets the Northbrook Arms apart, though, is the service. Every member of the team was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Nothing was too much trouble, and they really went the extra mile to make our visit special. We’ll definitely be back – a real 5-star experience from start to finish. Thank you, Northbrook Arms! xx

Particularly impressed by the young lady who was serving us. Food very good too

ALWAYs an amazing meal and fabulous service at The Bailiwick!!

Really lovely staff in this pub, super helpful, attentive and pleasant. The Sunday roast (medium rare beef) was delicious as was the giant Kahlua tiramisu. Good range of beers on tap. We really like this pub and visit often.

Booked for Father's Day 25 First impressions were good, warm welcome and a little delay in the food coming out however, what a fabulous meal, every plate went back empty. Nice staff, glorious location and very good value
