Our innovative restaurant menus and wholesome approach to cooking have earned us the bronze Beautiful South Award for Restaurant of the Year and the Bronze 'Taste of England' award from Visit England.
We follow a ‘field to fork’ philosophy and pride ourselves on using local fresh produce sourced from within a 50-mile radius, another reason why we are among the top Hampshire restaurants. Some produce even comes from our own Kitchen Garden, within which we grow a fantastic variety of vegetables, herbs, and even our own fruit, so guests can enjoy a home cooked meal. We are also proud members of the Hampshire Fare, where we consciously source from neighbouring Hampshire suppliers and bringing local communities together. During the warmer months, our award-winning restaurant offers guests to enjoy a relaxed dining atmosphere on our outdoor terrace. The Glasshouse Restaurant is a dog-friendly restaurant in Basingstoke, so your four-legged friend can join you for your meal in the dog-friendly area of the Glasshouse Restaurant or on our beautiful Garden Terrace too!
