The Fox Inn - Basingstoke and Deane

The Fox Inn has a great beer garden and friendly atmosphere but the food is average and over priced for the quality of the food. I had the half rack of ribs which was basically the same as you buy in Lidl but get the whole rack for £4 these were £16 so expected more. They came with chips and the smallest pot of coleslaw (not home made). The chicken burger was the smallest chicken burger I have seen and again for £13 you expect better and more. I know pubs are having a hard time of it but you still expect value for money. I would visit the pub again as it does have a nice out look but it will be for drinks only.

We attended a friend's birthday party with an excellent band and disco. The buffet was very good Mark Sarah made every effort to ensure the night went well. Thank you!

I wanted to confirm an earlier review! I gave this pin a poor one the first time but ……on the second visit !! The food, ambiance and staff were amazing.

We stopped off for lunch on our way home to London from the West Country. The food was decidedly average with a defrosted small, flat burger and a simple white bun on the kids menu which my son refused to eat. My fish pie was a little better but more potato and egg than anything else. The chips were decent and the garden was nice enough, with friendly staff, but not worth going out of your way to get to this pub.

I book for Sunday 24th to meet my daughter and her family for her birthday. When I called to book the lady was friendly and so looked forward to our visit. When we arrived the welcome was not there I was told you can sit where you like, but all the tables looked dirty and weren't even laid for lunch. Whilst waiting for my daughter to arrive I went to the ladies which was a horror show! The door to it was bolted and I had to struggle to unbolt it, shame because once in I wished I hadn't. Bearing in mind this was 12.30 lunch time the whole toilet was disgusting! Both toilets were dirty and stained and only one had toilet tissue and of course that was the one that didn't lock. The hand basin was filthy and there were paper towels overflowing from the bin and all over the floor. Luckily for us my daughter and her family had arrived at a different Fox Inn so we made our excuses and left. You can't order food in a place that is so dirty!
