Beautiful location & building! Food was incredible although some of the sides were cooler than expected but still ok to eat. Sam our waiter was awesome, efficient & knowledgeable on the menu so he could advise of dairy free options. Even bringing out a birthday treat at the end for hubby’s birthday

Went here for a late Christmas work do with a large team of 20-30 people. Our server was Shannon and she was fantastic. She took her time explaining the menu to those who hadn't been to the restaurant before and where there was a lot of us, she still showed patience and respectful atentive service to all of us equally. When we wanted a drink we went up to the bar individually to make it easier for our work team and for the servers who worked that night. Our bartender was kieran, he was lovely and always smiling and talking to us about our night. Didn't seem to mind when we were ordering individually and rounds and rounds of cocktails and spirits. Our food was nice and came out hot and quickly even though we were such a big group having three courses.

Took the grandchildren out for a celebratory meal. The menu offers enough choice to suit most people. This evening we all enjoyed a well cooked and nicely presented meal. Our waitress Shannon had a lovely big smile and the service was excellent.

Someone told me about this place. Proper hidden gem. The staff are lovely too. The delivery hadn't turned up so I chose something different. Which was spot on. They give me a pound back because of the hassle

An all round star of India! Heard about this place but it took me too long to try it! I'll be back. The menu is different from other curry houses - varied, clever and with loads of vegetarian options. The food is divine! Spiced for flavour, and served to look good. Even the rice comes in metal vases. Lovely staff too, and nicely decorated and clean restaurant. I had a coconut-based fish curry, which was very special, but the sides and breads are also delicious. Well done S&S!

A Culinary Delight- A memorable Experience! We recently had the pleasure of dining at Spices and spirits Basingstoke and it was an exquisite experience that left us all absolutely delighted. The moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a treat.. The ambiance at the restaurant is lively. Soft lighting and well thought-out decor which enlightened the perfect mood for our evening. Every dish we ordered was a work of art, both visually and tastefully. Service at Spices and Spirits was brilliant. Can’t wait to return for another unforgettable meal.

Visited here on Monday for the first time as I was in the area of Basingstoke celebrating my wedding anniversary.. First impression.A*. Very clean and lovely decor. I'm vegan and the options were plentyful Staff was very welcoming and prices were great. The food was exceptional.. flavour,freshness, quantity and quality.. Absolutely enjoyed every bit of it. Had a bit of a wait but I was not fussed about it because good food with such standards takes time. You can tell a lot about food by the chef's passion. How it was prepared and presented. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to visit again if I'm in Basingstoke. Please please keep up the standards and service of your restaurant..it's very rare in these times. Absolutely great food and service..

Decided to try here due to reviews. I got the Chati Lamb prices at £16.50, rice and peshwari nan. I find the prices a little on the high side given the portion size served. The curry had a lot of spice, the lamb was soft with a couple of chewy parts but spice like a Madras. The rice was fine as you would expect. The Nan, was a bit flavourless actually, very small portion with not very much filling. Overall I would rate this visit 6/10.

What an absolute gem of a find! we drove by looking for a nice pub with Sunday roast and the Queen Inn delivered beyond our expectation. Portion size was HUGE and price was really affordable. We ordered the white bait, chicken and beef roasts and all cooked to perfection with a massive assortment of delicious vegetables, yorkshires and even stuffing! Pop by, you won’t regret it!

Best roast I have had in Basingstoke and surrounding area for years. Food was fantastic, really couldn’t fault a single thing. The staff were amazing and for two courses and drinks I would have expected to pay more! Havent stopped recommending it to people since going and will definitely be returning.

Went on a Monday and got the vegan full Kimbridge - it was lush! The only “criticism” is that I’d have liked 1 more hash brown because they were perfection and there was waaaaay too much butter lol. But we will definitely be going back. The courgette fritters were fried to perfection. Great atmosphere, lovely location and the staff were very accommodating!

Great brunch place, excellent coffee and all the food is sourced locally which I love! The boot room is especially cosy for coffee and cake on a cold miserable day with its nice fireplace. Only downside (which isn't their fault) is it gets very busy at weekends so do book on advance to avoid disappointment as this has happened a couple times to us.

Saturday I had Chicken snitzel and my wife had the Haddock we both enjoyed the food. We returned on Sunday I had the Bacon belly and my wife had the scallops we both enjoyed so much so that I said complements to the Chef. Wonderful food. Good atmosphere and a craft shop too.

Found this place by chance after camping in the New Forest for the weekend. 100% recommend, a great menu and yummy food. I had the chicken and waffles and it came with a generous helping of maple syrup. The only thing I would change is serving the syrup on the side. I also had one of the best chai lattes I’ve ever had. Our dogs were made to feel welcome and were given treats by the staff. Thank you so much for a lovely breakfast!

I was treated to an afternoon tea at Kimbridge Barn by a wonderful friend in March 2024. What an experience. We were seated in the window in the sunshine. Staff could not be more attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. The scones were huge - the size of a large mango - but beautifully soft & delicious and served warm. The sandwiches were scrummy, the ham hock mayo my favourite. The sunshine melted the sour cherry chocolate bar as we weren’t paying attention! It too tasted wonderful. Will definitely come back when the weather warms up. The package included unlimited teas and americano coffee. Would have been nice to include one special coffee like a latte for the price, but small niggle.

Came here for a birthday treat. We were not disappointed! The food and service were exceptional. As it was a special occasion we had the Chateaubriand. It was so delicious, that our only complaint was the disappointment once it was finished! Great British food and ingredients done fantastically well. Highly recommended

We had a fantastic night here celebrating our daughter's 21st birthday. From start to finish the staff were charming, friendly and welcoming. Our family have experience working in hospitality and it is always wonderful to see this level of service, attentive but discreet at the same time. Our food was delicious and we were able to try a good selection of what was on offer. The lamb fritter with spiced yoghurt and the slow cooked blade of beef with parmesan truffle chips were particular highlights. The complimentary prosecco on arrival for the birthday girl was a lovely touch! We nearly had to stay the night because of the roads being almost impassable when we left due to the snow. Maybe that wouldn't have been a bad thing! Will definitely return to this warm and welcoming pub.

Superb meal for our anniversary. Selection of breads, a Greek salad and the cheese soufflé to start. We both had the blade of beef which was so tender and the Parmesan/truffle chips were so good. Cheese and a chocolate dessert for pudding really finished us off. Definitely a special occasion place and we’ll certainly be back!

We did the wonderfully Knife skills course. Sarah was a great teacher supported by the brilliant team of Sergio and Katie. We got the chance to practise knife skills on lots of different vegetables and fruits as well as some meat as well as getting lots of really helpful shortcuts and tips . As you prepare 4 dishes ( including a desert ) for 2 people and only eat one of them for lunch you are guaranteed to leave with lots of delicious meals. The knowledge I gained is kitchen life changing. Well worth the money.

I had breakfast at the farm shop with some friends this morning, and it was such a delightful experience! The place was buzzing with energy, creating a lovely atmosphere that made our meal even more enjoyable. The service was spot-on—friendly and efficient, which is always a plus. Now, let’s talk about the food: it was fantastic! Fresh, flavorful, and just what we needed to start the day. After breakfast, we explored the farm shop, which was charming and stocked with local goodies. We even wrapped up our visit with a fun gin tasting in their spirits room, which was a highlight! Overall, it was a wonderful morning, and I can't recommend this place enough. I’ll definitely be back soon, and I can't wait to share this gem with more friends.

Food at the restaurant was amazing! Service was great, nice and friendly. The food in the shop is overpriced for what it is. Considering it's high-end, you'd expect the products to reflect that. Lots of their products are "ultra processed" - read the labels and you'll see. Shame to see high end products with chemicals in them.

Excellent breakfast. All top quality ingredients, as expected. Cost of drinks were a bit high, we thought. £4.50 for a glass of orange juice. Freshly squeezed and very nice but quickly adds up on the bill. Would highly recommend, though. Would love to visit again and browse the shop, butchers, fish mongers. Shame we are not local

I really enjoy the food here. I can say they do the best sweet & sour chicken I've ever had, nothing like the low quality stuff from your local chinese takeaway! The other Thai dishes are fantastic too. Looking forward to dining here again.

We travelled a hour out to meet family here for a get together before Christmas and so were unsure what to expect. What a fabulous lunch we had. The food was absolutely outstanding. We sampled all of the starters which were all delicious and the Penang and Green curries were among the best I’ve had. The kids cleaned their plates and the fish and chips was also beautifully done. The service was excellent and we really appreciated the Christmas crackers and wonderfully friendly staff and chef. Highly recommended, we will be back!

Beautiful pub had a bit of country side feel. Restaurant filled with customers and we ordered fish and chips, Thai green curry prawns and pad Thai. Starters were very nice but just too expensive, for four small slices of fried squids cost almost £8. Tom yum soup wasn't authentic it tasted like the seasoning powder made. The green curry was tasty but again it wasn't a lot to eat. Fish and chips were alright, crispy battered and chunky chips. As an overall, a pub food service, we would be thinking it could be more generous at this rate. We spent c. £110 for drinks and foods.

Really nice green curry, it tasted really fresh and I was very impressed with the beef sandwich. We tried the fried ice cream for the novelty and were pleasantly surprised, it was still frozen in the inside and tasted really great! The owner was nice and had a lovely chat with us. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a nice quick lunch.

Lovely afternoon at the Holly Blue today. Staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. Caesar salad, club sandwich ( have had on numerous occasions and is amazing) and chicken tenders from kids menu (for an adult who was extremely happy with this as can’t eat big portions but doesn’t like to waste food) were all devoured amongst us today then we had a little room left for the new cronuts, ( toffee and lemon) and a brownie. All so amazing…..really good!! Wide range of cakes to choose from and we were even able to take some home for those who weren’t able to join us. Staff very accommodating. Lovely atmosphere. Didn’t feel rushed. Love that the Holly Blue is on our doorstep and we will be visiting again very soon.
