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.

    For the Sunday buffet, offer an option of white meat (fish or chicken). The waiters can be overwhelmed, they attended or service our table after a lengthy wait.

    It was our first time experiencing The Ranch. We had so much fun and made lots of memories. Definitely coming back. One small feedback though, please expand the cocktail menu,the standard of your establishment deserves a top of the range cocktail menu. But regardless of that a definite 10/10
