The Dewpond Inn in Basingstoke and Deane

One word: special. Simply the best and most consistent restaurant in Berkshire. Wonderful food and perfect service. Very reasonably priced for the quality of the experience.

Great place to eat. Friendly staff and variety of good food options and starters and desserts to choose from. Great place to go for a quiet meal and drinks and top services. Recommend that you book in advance.

Nice pub with friendly, informal layout (it feels more like eating at someone's home rather than a restaurant). The food is very good but it is a bit pricey. It's possible to get food nearly as good for quite a lot less in nearby pubs. If you want a quiet, kid free atmosphere and don't mind shelling out a bit more than average for what is undeniably good food then this could be the place for you.

We always have excellent meals here. Great food, lovely staff, excellent price for such high quality

Food very good. Drinks a bit on the steep side. I hate fixed service charges. Happy to tip good service though.

Our favourite restaurant. High class food without the pretentiousness of other fine dining places. Never had a bad plate of food.

This was a lovely find. The food was of the highest quality, beautiful presentation, very professional service and a very tasteful dining room. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a special meal and they offer a very good 3 course menu for £42.

Delightful meal with a lovely ambiance. Classic British food with some French influences. Service and location made for a very pleasant dinner. You can also get some very picturesque views of the surrounding area from the outer deck.

Amazing views of little lambs and food was decent as well !

I have been coming to The Dew Pond since it opened 26 years ago and have never been anything other than delighted. I took my sons and friends there last night for their birthday dinner. From the moment we opened the door, we could not have been made more welcome nor made to feel more special. Everything - surroundings, ambience, service, food, drinks - is of the highest quality. Julie and Keith Marshall are restaurateurs par excellence. Every visit is a delight; every meal a new sensation. Newbury is fortunate to have several superb restaurants in and around it. The Dew Pond has to be my favourite.
