Local record
History of this pub
The Spruce Goose stood on Basingstoke Leisure Park off Worting Road, a short hop from Junction 6 of the M3, with a Premier Inn next door joined by a covered walkway and a shared car park. CAMRA's North Hampshire branch knew it simply as the Beefeater on the leisure park, with a separate bar alongside the restaurant. Inside, a bar with an open fireplace led through to a split-level restaurant spread over four levels, with room for around 120 more diners on the outdoor benches and decking. After the chain closed in 2026 the building was offered for sale through Christie & Co.
