  • Hmmm, just same as everywhere else with no imagination, chain restaurants
  • harvester basingstoke. loverly!
  • ali baba
  • As part of the town centre re-devolpment( Festival Place ) many new restaurants have opened. Nandos, new Indidan, steak house and Italian.
  • theres always mr munch just by the library on joices yard-normally packed on a tues morning=doll day
  • Is Pizza Hut the greatest? Everywhere except Brighton Hill retail park! What was that they served me the other night?
  • KFC IS FINALLY COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Basing Mill is fantastic quality, a great atmosphere and some of the craziest waiters on the planet.
  • The best takeaway is one of the first chinese and fish and chips takeaway in the town...Peters Chinese takeaway in Popley 2, next to the Barbican pub! - wicked food at brilliant prices - get yourself down there!
  • Smileys Kabab van. I forget wher it is. someone else will know
  • Dont go to the Spruce Goose, uninteresting and boring menu that hasnt changed since i went there first. Make sure you pay a visit to the
  • If you like really tasty good food and happen to be a vegetarian then learn to cook as there is nowhere in Basingstoke for you!!
  • King Balti is a superb and reasonably priced curry takeaway and restaurant on London Road and next door is a mid priced and also very good Italian, Galletos. Forget the rest!
  • Mr Hee's is very expensive for what it is - a passable Chinese Restaurant with a late 70s smoked glass decor. You'd be far better off going to the Water Sky restaurant in Fleet on one of their 'all you can eat for £14.00' nights. Galetto's in London Street is a far better proposition - try their antipasti, and veal and chicken meat courses. Also, the Roman waiter has a interesting story about how he was nearly coerced into a marriage into a lovely country girl after he went out with her a couple of times. Let's put it this way - he's scared to return home and the damsel is still waiting for him!
  • Husseys Bakery does THE BEST SANDWICH IN THE WORLD for just 1.99 - Roast Pork (hot), apple sauce and stuffing!!!! It's like a three course meal all in one!!
  • Not very good, need a car to go to places in the country, or somewhere like Alton or Winchester. We always seem to end up at the Italian opposite the Red Lion which is alright, but pretty basic. There is another Italian in town, expensive and overrated. Best takeaway indian is Tuli Tandorri, best sit down place is on Church St, forget the name. Chip shop, Olivers at Old basing. Palmers is good but expensive. Generally lacking in variety. I like the Italian in the centre of Alton, and the Thai is really good too.
  • Yeah, these are increasing. Loads of Indian, Chinese and Chippies. Also some kebab shops and vans. As far as eating in goes, the choice is not as wide. A few Indian places, only a couple of Chinese, 2 Italians, 1 French and pubs that serve food and places like Harvester and Beefeater. Not enough classy joints to take your girlie to and impress her. I mean you wouldn;t want to propose to your girl at the Chicken Ranch really, would you?!!!
  • Eat in restaurants, there is only the Curry Garden at Mount Pleasant. Take aways include New Dynasty Chinese, New Standard Tandoori (EXCELLENT), Dominoes Pizza (SLOW). You need to go out of Tadley for a decent sit-down meal. Sassos at Kingsclere is the dogs wotsits.
  • Boring and totally non-exciting.
  • There is a good Indian Restaurant by name of "Kashmir" in the town center very near to Mcdonalds. Enjoy
  • Sainsburys etc. ( quite alot of food in there I've heard.)
  • Joes Kebabs. Mmmmmm, lush. Also the burger van outside the station late at night. If you don't mind being harassed by drunken fuckwits.
  • the skewers now does a very cheep but filling menu £2.99 all day breakie
  • Blades bar at Basingstoke ice rink do some quality grub!
  • Chicago Rock Cafe, a loud pub on a Wednesday/Friday/Saturday night. Good food at a very reasonable price.
  • Marks and Spencer, also Oliver's chip butties rule and they now have a restaurant extension.
  • Dominos Pizza, free delivery, best around.
  • Hee's Chinese Restaurant next to the Town Centre Library is worth a visit.
  • Usual fast food joints, steakhouses and department store cafes.
  • Not much in the town centre. A surpluss of pizza places, can't someone come up with something new? Also all the places seem to shut early, particularly on Friday and Saturday so if you go to the Haymarket or Anvil about all there is open when you come out, is McDonalds!!!!
  • Good places to eat with good service - Palmers stay open late, Blue Juice is ok, several Indians very good and cheap, Yates wine bar, London Street, very lively in the evenings, good choice of music, good food during the day and cheap. Chicago's, brilliant, loud music 60's & 70's Thursdays, food not too good but very friendly. Red Lion, bad service and crap food, cheap place to stay.
  • The Food Hall closed on 15/08/98!! Not that good, but with it gone the choise is even smaller, unless you find one of the numerous pubs!!
  • Get a really decent breakfast at the Haymarket Theatre from 9.00 am. They are also opening a lunchtime wine bar which might be worth a taste.
  • Sainsburys and Tesco's, oh and there is a Safeways as well. Shame Robert Greigs closed down. Restaurants? Don't be stupid.
  • Cafe Rouge. Too nice to succeed in Baz. Wayne and Waynetta won't be able to read the menu.
