The welcoming attitude of the staff and indeed the owner, was a breath of fresh air. Although I am no master chef critic, the food was fantastic , from start to finish. Fresh and very palatable flavours, even for a lightweight westerners palate like mine!
The service was prompt and very friendly. The owner is from Delhi and is determined to bring the flavours of his part of the world to Basingstoke. I seriously suggest you check it out. We felt very welcome and thoroughly enjoyed it.
My only minor criticism is that I feel the decor for the restaurant is slightly stark and could do with a little more colour or photo's and art work. Possibly pictures of Delhi for instance.
Zero complaints for the food or service and thats what we went for! Many thanks.
Really good food. We tried some dishes we had never eaten before. The sauces were delicious and the meat was so tender. Will definitely be back.
Just had an awesome takeaway from dhaba.
Well worth the visit and a great chat with the owner manager.
Best Indian in Basingstoke. / Now bramley New location in the bramley Inn pub is wonderful.
Three of us, trying a new Pub midweek in the summer & Sunday lunch off season. Parking, plenty of elbow room, quick & friendly service by an experienced team. Had a pint, pork 2 small & 1 normal, will ask for more gravy next time 😁, 3 pudding & 2 coffee for £25 head. Will return as a very good experience, nice chat with the owner. Pudding is exceptional.
Decided to go to the local pub with the family for our family holiday and it was a fantastic experience, with great drinks and superb food. Out of all we had, I must comment on: The chicken burger with chips and salad was a great sized portion, and the salmon on the special menu was extremely tasty! Desserts were also beautifully present from, with the lemon compote and the sticky toffee pudding pictured. The menu is also pictured.
The food here was amazing. The presentation of the food, friendly staff, and professionalism here, honestly, one of, if not the best place for food. Prices are very good too. There is outdoor seating, sheltered, and open air. They ate dog friendly and provide water for dogs. I honestly have tonsay this is one of the nicest places to visit. 10/10, this place has my highest recommendation 👌
A lovely country pub in Newchurch, The meal looks and tastes delicious. I really enjoyed the pork belly, always busy so best to book in advance. Also has a garden area for drinks outside in the summer.
Booked a table for two for Sunday Lunch and have to say it’s the best pub Sunday lunch we have had in a long time.
There was a choice of three meats and we chose beef though you could have all three if you wished too.
The beef cut like butter and was served with roast potatoes, mash potato which was so delicious, roast carrot and parsnip, stuffing and gravy with the biggest Yorkshire pudding I have seen and gravy. Sliced carrots, cauliflower and broccoli were served in a separate dish.
I asked for some extra gravy and a jug of hot gravy was supplied readily. Plates were warm, which is a big thing for us as your food stays hot longer.
Desert was sticky toffee pudding, homemade, served with a few berries and I chose to have cream.
It was heavenly and melted in the mouth.
I would recommend you try this desert.
Staff were friendly and efficient and service was swift.
We will definitely return, this could well become our favourite pub for Sunday lunch and other occasions.
We have already booked a Christmas lunch booking for December for a large group we were so impressed.
Amazing food, friendly service, great atmosphere. Definitely return again! 😍
Booked for early evening dinner. Although very busy we were made to feel welcome and couldn't fault service. We had 5 different main meals which were all well cooked. My wife had the special board salmon in Tuscan sauce which excellent. My steak and ale pie was really tasty. Daughters gammon steak came with all the trimmings. Will have that next time we go. Table service throughout was friendly and attentive.
When I last reviewed The Pointer Inn I was disappointed with the experience and recorded that I would call in again in a few months to see if anything had changed, after alerting the publican to my misgivings.
Today was the promised revisit and I am delighted to say that I could not fault the service, cleanliness, beer condition or food on this occasion. I must add here that I did not eat a meal myself, relying upon the comments of others and my own view of the food being served at each table.
What brought about this change? Well... I was pleasantly surprised to see a new face at the bar and discovered that the management was now in the capable hands of Mark and Luci, the new management pairing.
The return of a former chef of The Pointer was also noticeable, with a visible difference to the food presented to each table.
A special mention for Beth, who was a delight to chat to between customers.
We went here for lunch on a Saturday and loved it. Very relaxed atmosphere with lovely food, good portion sizes and great service.
Friendly staff who were happy to adjust a meal to suit customers and when booking the table gave us a half hour window to arrive in.
We had a great family meal and I'd happily go again.
Well. Under new ownership. Previous owners were.....best left unsaid! Anyway, new couple in charge are trying really hard to make it work and they get 5* for welcome, menu variety with specials too, great service, absolutely home cooked fresh food very well presented. Food is delicious and this place is worth a visit. Massive car parking. Dog friendly. We're going again later this week. These guys deserve to win! Tony Perrin, West Sussex.
