The Gamekeepers Restaurant

About The Gamekeepers Restaurant

Tucked into the Hampshire countryside outside Basingstoke, this is a proper grown-up dining room that still makes room for children — a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and free parking, plus outdoor seating for when little ones need air. Inside it's beamy, traditional and warm, though small: tables sit close together and it gets noticeably noisy at busy times, so a quiet weekday lunch suits a young family better than a packed Saturday. The blackboard menu changes constantly and the kitchen is serious — the ox cheek, slow-cooked pork shoulder and arancini all draw praise, and food generally arrives without a long wait. The team walk you through the menu and are patient and chatty. It is pricey, around £115 for two without wine, and worth booking.
