Bakers held a Drum and Bass night an collected for Macmillan charity the other night and the place was rammed,Basingstoke has longed for DnB venue for too long,Here's to more in the future
Excellent food, friendly staff, great beer.What more can I say.
Had lunch there today and it was lovey I did even realise they did food Defo come back again �
Great staff, and also a fantastic sports bar, always have great choice of Sport channels
Drum and bakers went in last Friday ideal venue! Hope there's more to come!
***** Always lovely food & drinks, fantastic atmosphere and fabulous customer service *****
Great staff so help full and freindly .good food too ...and a nice clean big pub with good beer ..
Great food Tim and jade is always lovely and friendly ..thank you for always making us feel welcome
Visited here a few times for drinks and the atmosphere has always been good.
Great selection of spirits available, including lots of gins/rums.
There is occasionally live music on a Friday or Saturday night, or they tend to show the sport of a major tournament is on - most recently the rugby! (we won't talk about that game...)
Prices are what you'd expect from most pubs, so not overly expensive/cheap.
There is an additional area upstairs that you can request to book of you're having a work event or just a large group of you turning up. Have never had a problem here.
If the drinks prices mean you can't spend your whole evening here, there's always the Wetherspoons next door to get a few cheap rounds in.
Dog friendly pub up top of town. They treat your furry friends amazingly with water and treats, and the decor is lovely! Really well done to you guys for turning a dire pub into a social haven
Went in for the first time in ages and still a great pub. Beer selection is great, always a proper pub atmosphere, and always a smile and a friendly greeting from the staff. Shame you don't seem to do food anymore as you were actually really good at that as well. But not to be put off coming here. The good folk of Basingstoke should appreciate this pub a bit more.
Hope to be back soon
Came here for some drinks with some friends and it was lovely! The service was quick, the drinks were amazing and the staff were very attentive and polite. Will definitely be coming back soon!
Hidden gem at the top of Basingstoke! Dog friendly, and a great range of drinks. Jay has really worked wonders with this pub from what it was before, and the addition of the seating out front is great for people watching
This pub seems to be going through a proper turnaround! Went in the other day and saw the manager working hard on the pool table area and it looks amazing! He has also put a lot of time into the garden which is very enjoyable to sit in now!! Very excited to return!!
Friendly and helpful staff, great layout with various floors and nice rear garden. Typical greene king menu. The food was good, I had the chicken platter and my partner had the festive pie. Obviously it's not luxurious restaurant food, but it was cooked perfectly and tasted great. The beer was nice, very clean and crisp. The only downfall is this, each time I have eaten here, most of the time my first option is usually off the menu due to not being prepared or not in stock.
Jay and James really have worked wonders here!! The team are probably the friendliest on the street, more people should definitely give this pub a chance it’s improved so much in the last year
The drinks and place it self were nice and the staff were pleasant, but please beware that they do not serve food anymore.
I noticed Bakers reopened this week and decided to have a look inside, there was signage outside detailing their events for the week so looks like this could be a good bar to visit for different things like happy hours after work or live music and sports on the weekends.
Chatting with the barstaff was lovely and she was happy to discuss their collection of drinks (with more soon to come apparently) I thoroughly enjoyed both a pint from the tap and a gin with pretty garnish.
From our chatting, this pub has done some great market research and I would recommend trying them out because it was good vibes all round :) hopefully their live events and things go just as well as my visit!
First time here, had a great time! The inside is very glamorous and well done up, also love the inclusive approach being made towards communities x
Love entering this pub, always a friendly smile behind the bar and such a inviting atmosphere. Jay and team have bought out the best in this pub.
This team go above and beyond for a quiet pub, my partner and I were blown away by the welcoming attitude from Toni and Lou when we visited. They are a credit to the team
Jay enabled a large group of us to use the upper bar for a social function which went very well thanks to the friendly staff and management team. We'll definitely use the Bakers again for another family get together soon.
Great Pub / Great Venue - Jay the Manager kept in touch and made sure we had everything we needed for holding works drinks at the pub. Over 30 of us enjoyed good food and good beer. The only thing I would say is that it would have been nice to have the upstairs bar ready when we arrived rather than later! Having said this most of us did not mind at all and Jay was extremely helpful all evening! Great Service. Thanks
Great atmosphere for sports, they have a pool table which is great. A wide variety of drinks and beers. Lovely, kind staff. Come here if sports is on and it's a nice chilled relaxing vibe when sports aren't on.
A cute little pub in Basingstoke town centre, very friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere, poetically enjoy the weekend entertainment 👌
We come here every Tuesday evening for a few drinks and games of pool. Really friendly staff, prices are good and food has been lovely. It's also quiet so you often feel like you've got the place to yourself. Bring back the smirnoff ice though or keep a few behind the bar for my wife pls 😆
