The Queens Arms - Basingstoke and Deane

Stopped by as on way back to London, waiting for the Waterloo train. had a very warm welcome from a lovely lady serving the customers. As a CAMRA member i was going to sample some Ales, i thought ill leave that until im home up smoke, so opted for a Guinness, absolutely Top Notch it was too, served lovingly with a careful hand the barlady crafted a shamrock on the Vicars Collar. So good, stuff the next train back home, stayed for another couple, Lovely and relaxing, proper pub, which gets my vote everytime, a breath of fresh air from the usual boring white washed Gastro Pub. Would defo return, next time i visit Amazingstoke, no hesitation here, im going in. Thanks to the lovely polite barlady.

A pleasant and obliging landlady, delicious Thai food, beautifully presented. The place is small and the tables therefore very close together, so overhearing the conversation of neighbours is inevitable and vice versa but go there for the food!

Husband and I stopped off for some food. The Thai curry meal we both had was amazing. Lovely service too. Pleasantly surprised about the food as not very impressed with the restaurants in the town centre.

Before we all went on the train to Barnstaple to watch Basingstoke fc. We all went into the pub. Very nice people. Bar staff were very polite and my Guinness had a shamrock on it which I don’t receive anywhere. Nice few pints and friendly staff. Can’t get anything better. Lockdown happened so I will be returning soon

Went to the Queens Arms for a family Christmas meal. Menu choice looked good. Have been here before some time ago with work group and family birthday party and always had a good time and nice meal. Service was very attentive and prompt. Food was as stated and very nice. Very reasonable price. All covid safe measures taken with partition in place, masks, sanitisers and good spacing.
