First time in years I visited The Hogget, unfortunately the food was average. Calamari had soggy batter. Main course Chicken Chirizo again was OK. The bar staff were brilliant. Nice to enjoy dinner without shouting as atmosphere was relaxed.
Lovely pub with great service, table for nine and can honestly say it was all very good, great staff and good mix of music. Thanks, we will be back.š»š„šš
We had a really good family meal here on Wednesday evening. The staff were lovely and weren't fazed about us not ordering until our last family member arrived, an hour late, due to an accident on the M3. All of our food was delicious and the bottle of wine was very reasonably priced. Although we don't live locally, we will definitely visit again when we are next meeting up with family.
Sorry to say but worst steak everā¦ā¦. We stopped here after a show in Basingstoke, after reading the reviews on Google, our meal did not come anywhere close to those reviews we read. We ordered a glass of Pinot and a beer, then looked at the menu, I went for a full rack of ribs and my partner went for the flame grilled sirloin steak, medium rare with no blood. We didnāt have to wait too long for the plates to arrive, on first view my ribs looked ok but the sauce was a bit on the lame side, bit too runny, but the meat was ok, as were the skinny fries. But my partners steak on the other hand looked a bit well done, when she tried to cut it with the steak knife it was a real struggle, eventually she managed to cut through it and tried it, it was so tough she said she couldnāt even eat it, it was full of gristle too. We caught the bar persons eye they came over and we explained that the steak was unfit to be served let alone eat. They were very apologetic offered to replace but that was turned down as now put off totally by what we had, the staff person did tell us that even the chef had complained to the owners about the quality of the meat being sourced for the pub menu, but if this was the case he should have said there were no steaks rather than serving one that couldnāt be eaten, the plate was taken away and a replacement was offered but declined, my partner did agree to some ribs , but these didnāt arrive until after I had finished mine, so not a great finish to night after the fantastic show we had seen. And to top it off completely we asked for another Pinot, only to be told they had run outš¤ What pub runs out of wine?? The staff did deal with problem, ie didnāt charge for the steak or extra ribs, but by then the night was ruined, they did say that they wanted to give us the drinks free, but management donāt allow it?? a little bit of free range for staff would go a long way to send people away happy even after having something so bad. Needless to say we wonāt be heading back here any day soon.
So wish this great little place was nearer to our home! ā¹ļø We popped in whilst travelling through the area and were blown away. š The food and service were excellent. Staff friendly and welcoming and gave good advice on food choices. Probably the best burgers we've had in a long, long while and amazing puds too. The KitKat cheesecake was amazing. I'm sure we'll find an excuse to come that way very soon. š¤
