"Joined two friends here on Friday evening for an impromptu meal and drinks. As it is one of the local pubs that we visit occasionally in villages surrounding our own we thought that there would be no need to book a table if we arrived early (7:45pm). We went to the bar to order drinks and pick up a menu before sitting down, where we were served by a very welcoming young lady behind the bar. Whilst being served a lady came in and waited behind us making a comment to the girl behind the bar that “it was nice to find a queue at the bar for a change”. As the lady was waiting to be served we took our drinks and went to sit down before ordering food. As we looked around all of the tables bar two had reserved signs placed on them, with only two couples sitting at tables. As we went to sit down at one of the two tables without reserved signs we were stopped by the Landlord and told that we couldn’t sit there and would have to go out to the back of the pub if we wanted to sit down. This we did, however the seating area at the back of the pub is a dirty, damp plastic covered extension that is not exactly the sort of place you would expect to eat in. Anyway, we complied and I then returned to the bar to ask the Landlord if they could cater for us if we wanted to eat, as it looked like they were going to be very busy. I was almost grudgingly given a single menu and returned to my friends. We decided to all order Scampi Chips, as that would be easy for the kitchen to prepare and serve if they were going to be busy. The food turned up in a timely manner and was well presented, although the Scampi was not real Scampi but probably processed fish as it resembled little potato croquettes being all the same size and shape. However, the food was fine and there were no issues other than the sarcastic comment from the Landlord about our choice of food when they specialise in Thai Curries. Well guess what sir, we would have ordered some of your specialty dishes if we had felt welcomed and not made to feel like we were an inconvenience to you!! We finished our meals, drank up and moved on to another local pub where we knew our custom would be welcomed. As we left I noticed that all the reserved tables we had seen in the main bar area were still empty as well! As a consequence to our experience I will not be returning and I very much doubt my two friends will either."

Wonderful food and drink in this nearly local! Worth the walk for amazing Thai or just traditional English fare. Chips are excellent!

Lunch was amazing. Had a mint herbal tea and it was the best one I have had. If you let me know the brand so i could buy it I would be grateful.

Wow, just wow. Thai is my favourite food, and I've rarely had it so well done as here. Just absolutely exquisite flavours, definitely one to try.

Met 2 friends for lunch today and we weren’t sure what to expect. We needn’t have worried as the food was authentic and delicious. The Massaman curry and Green curry were both excellent. We will certainly visit again.

Advertised a beer festival which concisted of 3 ales instead of 2 which is the norm for this pub. After walking 30 minutes in inclement weather to get there i was not impressed. I would treat dubiously any further event advertising from this establishment

We found this cosy pub via Britstops and decided to stop here on our way to the Eurotunnel. The staff was very friendly, enthousiastic and welcoming. Even the dog got a lot of attention and dog biscuits. The authentic Thai food was very tasteful, freshly made. They also have a few traditional pub food dishes, but can highly recommend the lovely Thai menu Well poured Guinness too.

We met up with a friend in the area who recommended we get something to eat from here so we all went here. The place was quite quiet. There is a good size car park at the back of the pub. The place was reasonably warm. We were able to choose a table in the small area past the bar. We ordered drinks at the bar before sitting down which I had a guest ale which was good. We ordered food which I had the fish and chips was quite nice. It was good size and portion good. I tried some of the other food that was ordered and this seemed good. The owner was friendly and chatty. Overall this is a nice pub. The food is quite good. If you are in the area this is a nice place to try

One word… Wow!!! Went here with A friend for a meal out last Friday lunchtime and the food was absolutely phenomenal.. I have never usually been a fan of Thai food, however this is definitely one to try!!! Everything was delicious, and so fresh tasting. Most importantly the service was by far the best service I have ever received in a pub/restaurant. From start to finish we felt so welcome, we had 2 dogs with us and they were very well treated with biscuits! Lidia our waitress was fantastic and looked after us very well- she was smiley and had a lovely personality and clearly loves her job! Will definitely be returning.. and will be recommending this place to friends and family!

"Our first visit. We cannot praise thank The Wellie highly enough. What a find! Peacefully rural on a quiet road to the south of Baughurst. A classic, pretty country pub, now converted to an excellent restaurant, with three rooms. What strikes you first is how immaculate The Wellie is, inside and out. The large garden is a delight. Masses of dahlias and all manner of bushes and plants. Birds, birds and more birds. Do check out the vegetable garden beyond the rear car park. You then walk inside to the warmest of relaxed welcomes from the owners, Simon and Jason, and manager, Sheila, and their lovely young helpers. Nothing is too much trouble. The first thing you’ll spot is the array of fruit, veg salad for sale by the pub bar – the Wellie Deli. Along with home made jams, chutneys, quiches, etc. I then spotted the two hand pumps! Longdog Golden Poacher Basingstoke Pride. The seating inside is for diners every session is a sell out! But I was very happy to sup several excellent pints of well kept draught Basingstoke Pride in the garden – until I discovered their Negronis! Truly the best this side of Kwant (Piccadilly). We’d opted for the room in the pub: the Apartment. Two rooms on the first floor, knocked through. Enormous comfy bed, large rainfall shower, sofa, mini bar – two TVs! Free milk homemade shortbread. One of the discoveries we made here is the fabulous tea they serve from Prince Sons. As you can tell by now, we were very happy with our first stay at The Wellie… and then we went down for dinner! A truly exceptional menu from Jason’s kitchen, which changes each evening. Highlights were the scallops wrapped in pancetta, the pollack, the lamb pot pie, the twice baked cheese souffle, the NY cheesecake, the rhubarb ice cream, the treacle tart... All so fresh, tasty, and mainly from their garden. What we loved most was it was relaxed but fine dining without the tiny portions. The Full English breakfast the next morning was equally tasty. All in all, we did not want to go home! Thank you Simon, Jason Sheila. We will be back, soon."
