It's very popular and worth booking in advance. Then there's still the problem of finding a parking space when you get there! The menu is varied and I have no difficulty in trying something new there, should I wish to. Meals are of very good quality and usually delicious. I've always found the staff here very friendly and totally efficient. The Hatch has beautiful gardens and outdoor seating should the weather be good enough. Highly recommended.

I hadn't eaten here in several years, and to be honest, I won't be coming back! The service was good, but the food was awful. The steak and ale pie contained only a single piece of meat; the rest seemed like bits of minced meat and was mostly just pastry. As for the chicken and ham hock pie, there was far too much pastry; I was very disappointed! The child's burger tasted terrible, and the only redeeming part of the meal was the chips. I definitely won't be returning! As chefs, we would rate the Hatch in Basingstoke a low 1 out of 10. It’s simply not for us, not even if the meal were free!

Good food from a nice lunch menu, not too big but reasonably priced and very tasty, served in clean and comfortable surroundings. Amanda, our waitress, was lovely. And, just a side note, the playlist of music playing was lovely, a good listen and not too loud. Whoever drew this one up deserves a special mention.
