Brewhouse Tea Room in Basingstoke and Deane

A nice building, however, as seems to be the case with a lot of national trust cafes now, the food options were very limited and basic. The queue was also very long and slow moving.

Beautiful location, wonderful food. Really enjoyable experience in a terrific National Trust property.

Really slow service and vegan options are pretty limited

Very long, slow moving queue for service. Other NT cafes don't seem to have this problem so persistently. We visited several times over the last 10 years and always had a long queue. It must have been a known problem but doesn't seem to have been addressed in all the refurbishment. Also found a limited choice of special diet options for cakes. There were good options in the adjacent NT shop - can you please stock them in here too.

Food is quite expensive and below the standard of other NT properties. The jacket wedges we had were microwaved into a mush. Panini's were underdone. Queue was 30 mins long in January.

It's a lovely building but the size is nowhere near big enough to facilitate even 50% of people at lunch even in January. We joined a que that had at least 15 families waiting in front of us and the line didn't go down in the 10 minutes that we waited. Luckily there are some nice country pubs close by which got a coffee on the table in 10 minutes. That aside I'm sure the food would have been lovely but didn't try.

Sadly NT did not have enough staff to cope with all their HT visitors. Queued for 25 mins this morning. Up your game NT. Halloween trail was very good though.

Ate a very nice meal here after a long search for something other than fish and chips. Very nice setting and good food.

Cosy place to stop for tea and cake. Priced as you'd expect for National Trust and yes, they do make very good tea!

Nice food, nice place, but I wish they would get the service of coffee quicker!!
