The Bolton Arms, Old Basing

Sadly since posting our comment in Sept 2010 the Bolton Arms has deteriorated significantly. Went there this evening for wife's birthday. No rolls served at table until we asked. Glass of wine Sav Blanc �5.00, 1/2 ABC Resolute �1.70!

Wife had Fillet Steak, asked for MR, got it very rare. Also found it very chewy. I order Breast of Guinea Fowl, got Leg and Scrawny Wing with no apology or reason. Only apologised when I complained. Even had audacity to charge extra �2.00 for serving of Garlic Butter with Steak.

Have heard good reports about The Crown so will go there in future.

The Crown Inn, Linton

Brilliant village pub with atmosphere, character, well kept beer, particularly the regular Woodfords Wherry, and above all Marcus's excellent food.

Clearly the food is freshly prepared unlike the "Break Bros" Microwave stuff dished up at the other pubs in the village.

Will always visit when ever in Linton.

The Bolton Arms, Old Basing

Been here a number of times recently, all in the evenings on week days and found the staff to be attentive, the beer excellent, if a little pricey, and the food very good, especially the starters and desserts.

It's a shame Amy the pastry chef has moved on to a bigger pub to further her education.

Would definately recommend it, and infact am going back tonight!
