The Chineham Arms, Basingstoke

So I recently had dinner here with my partner. The menu is simple, my partner had the fish and chips which tasted and smelled amazing, I on the other hand had the beef lasagne. Be warned for non-spicy lovers, it was bloody spicy and blow my mouth out which was unexpected and an unwanted surprise (it might not be spicy for normal people but I’m a puss with spice and never thought to ask if it was gonna be spicy or not) but my real complaint is not the food or the service, but the Beeping table! Omg! We sat in booth, thought it was great but realised it was not. You would have thought after smashing ours knees just to get in would make us more careful but oh no, when leaving, I smashed my knee so hard that I sank down on the booth bench like the titanic, hiding my shame and frustration as I cradle my knee while swearing heavily under my breath I left the pub limping I walked home limping And throughout the night I had pains in my leg, thigh and foot And still limping the next day I wouldn't normally care or say anything, but seeing as I’m still limping the next day, I feel like I have to, as my fear is for some else who might do more damage than I did Your booth tables are bad in the dining room and I strongly suggest fixing them to allow more room But I’m 99% sure they probably won't, so people with sensitive taste buds or weak legs here is a warning beforehand lol

Really great food, nice friendly staff

Not the best
