Pub & Grill Basingstoke

You'll find yourself in a proper hotel bar and grill setup on Basing View—the sort of place that does what it says on the tin without pretension. It's attached to the Village Hotels chain, so expect competent cooking, decent enough cocktails, and a space that works equally well for a business lunch or casual evening with mates. The atmosphere is business-casual rather than buzzy, which means you can actually hear yourself talk, and the food won't surprise you, but it won't disappoint either. Fair pricing for the area, and if you're staying nearby or just want something solid without faffing about, it delivers.
