There’s so much to do in this beautiful part of Hampshire, no matter what kind of trip you’re after! We’re in the heart of Jane Austen country, which means trips to manors, parks and much more. Make sure to take a look at our offers page for all our latest deals and promotions. We have a lot of room but we’re a popular spot – it always pays to book ahead, especially if you’re thinking of planning an event with us. Our ground and mid-levels tend to be a bit busier, which is where we save space for parties, buffets and family meals. We usually reserve our upper floors for business meetings and other gatherings.

Generally, we try and keep the bar area a more relaxed, low-key space for chilling out. We’ve split our restaurant across three levels. We’re a big restaurant with 200 seats, a large 200-seater pub garden with decking and a comfy bar complete with a warm fireplace and BT Sports on the screens. While our restaurant isn’t quite as old as that, we’ve been flying high since 1985 and we’ve been serving the best quality dinners, hosting nights out and been a welcoming spot for the whole community for over 35 years. Our namesake, the Spruce Goose, was a legendary Howard Hughes H-4 Hercules aircraft built in 1946. We give practical help, training and development to students interested in a career in hospitality. We’ve partnered with Dove House School Academy, a local specialist school that supports children with learning difficulties. Our team are all locals who have been with us for years, including our fantastic kitchen manager, Paul Lumley, who has been cooking the best meals for all our guests for over 20 years! If you have any questions about Basingstoke or you’re looking for places to visit after your meal, our friendly team are the best people to talk to. We have an award-winning team who’ll spruce up any meal with their fantastic service and attention to detail. Whether you’re looking for a big breakfast to set you up for the day or a relaxing dinner after exploring Hampshire, we’re the place to be.
