Our flagship restaurant named after founder of The Ranch, Mr Basil Shearer – Basil’s fine dining restaurant is the best way to describe The Ranch family business since it was founded in 1960 and continues to be run with the same passion and commitment that Paul and father Tom Shearer continue to strive for uncompromising standards and service culture.

Today Basil’s is headed up by Head Chef Daniel Gee and highly qualified chefs that learnt their trade though learning from other chefs at The Ranch over the years and their commitment to offering an extra ordinary dining experience in Basil’s.

The Basil’s team is well known for hosting special food and wine pairing’s that is accompanied by the wine maker. There is no other restaurant in the north that is more eagerly anticipated than a dining evening in Basil’s.

    The waiters were a little bit overwhelmed. Took a while to bring drinks when we made orders. You could see they are serving a lot of patrons all at once and they were overwhelmed. Suggestion: add more staff on weekends. Otherwise they did their best; Geofrey and his relive whom I forgot his name.

    We specifically asked for a birthday decorated table and when we arrived we were put in a corner with a basic table and old flowers regardless of the agreement we had. The waiter didn't bother checking up on us. When we asked to be moved outside or to the other side of the restaurant we were told that they are full but we could see it was empty. We ended up leaving after eating one shared lunch meal even though our initial plan was to have a full Meals with starters and desert with dinner because we were disappointed.
