Bolton Arms

About Bolton Arms

The Bolton Arms sits nestled in the historic heart of Old Basing, just outside Basingstoke. This 16th-century coaching inn retains its original charm with exposed wooden beams, weathered brick walls, and a welcoming atmosphere that speaks to centuries of hospitality.

The establishment perfectly balances its historic character with contemporary comfort, featuring intimate dining spaces across multiple rooms. Each area offers its own unique character, from the main restaurant with its traditional fireplace to the bright conservatory overlooking the well-maintained garden. The decor thoughtfully combines period features with modern touches, creating an elegant yet relaxed dining environment.

Known among Hampshire’s dining establishments for its seasonal British cuisine, The Bolton Arms has built a solid reputation for its commitment to locally sourced ingredients and traditional cooking methods. The kitchen team takes pride in crafting dishes that honour British culinary heritage while incorporating modern techniques and presentations.
