The Star Inn in Basingstoke and Deane

Stopped here for a lunch on our journey south. The dining area and toilets were clean and smart, the atmosphere friendly. Our food was freshly cooked and arrived swiftly, glad we stopped.

Once again, great food at a great price.The staff are always welcoming and nothing is too much trouble.The food was very fresh and the portions were big enough that we couldn't fit the desert in!! (The Star are missing a trick there!!)It's a lovely setting not far from Newbury or Basingstoke that works well for a romantic meal for two or a family get-together.We will definitely be back. Keep up the good work!

Just a delightful country pub. Haven't tried the food but the restaurant is always busy so I think that speaks for itself.Good range of real ales and first class service everytime.Very much an all inclusive pub. I'm trans and there's never been an issue using the ladies... One day Google will let me change my name 😊

Lovely food and good service. Very nice decor etc

Professional staff,very welcoming. Food is very tasty,large portions. Excellent service. Reasonably priced for the large portions. Would definitely recommend.

It was OK. It felt understaffed as we had to wait a long time for service, food, bill. I hesitate to give more than 3 stars to a pub who rations tomato ketchup into tiny fairy cups... Just leave the bottle please! Food was fine.

Lovely Pub, clean, warm and cosy! had the pizza, excellent!Friendly staff, great service, Plenty of parking spacesWell done Lauren! keep it up, hope you get some time off soon

We had the most wonderful meal on Christmas Eve, the pub itself is beautiful inside, greeted by the friendly staff including Lauren the manger. We had oven-baked mushrooms and prawn cocktail to start, and then Hunters Chicken and a pie for main. The portions were great, food was excellent quality and overall we had a lovely time. Brought our dog with us too which they sorted a bowl of water for her. Can’t wait to return!

+ The building itself is really picturesque inside and out+ In particular the alcove by the window for 2 where we sat which was very pleasant+ Both mine and my partner's mains and desserts were a very good size, reasonably priced, and very tasty+ Staff were very friendly and accommodatingI've attached a couple of pictures of what I had although in my greed-fuelled haste the picture of the main hides the black pudding mash behind the pork belly. Also, the picture might not convey it but the dessert was really big (probably twice of what you'd get in some other places).

Great to see a pub embracing being open again, busy but not packed and very friendly staff who served promptly without pressing. Food classic pub essentials with a few twists like apple sorbet on pulled pork. Generous portions for main course. Puddings so yummy we started eating before taking a review photo!
