Barty's Cafe in Wiltshire

Misrepresentation. Cheap, but the room is light years ahead of what we booked through the website. The images are really, REALLY not representative! The room smelled bad, the bathroom is from the 60's, there is mold and the shower has no pressure.

Pub was empty, waiter/landlord still insisted no prams as it blocks pathways (plenty of space). Food arrived cold, “vegan” menu was unflavoured potato curry. Held off this review for 2 years but I had nightmares again.

DON’T bother ordering a salad here. You cannot have a salad dressing of any sort? “Sorry sir, we don’t have any salad dressing” What is a dry salad worth? It’s expensive, and not very well prepared. Plus if you DO order a salad, you had better like cucumber as 50% of the salad was lots and lots of cucumber Ugg

As I’m a northerner Harry Ramsdens is very close to my heart,so when I visited the one in Swindon I was a little apprehensive about what they would serve up. It was all superb,and the staff were so friendly as well. Definitely worth a visit.

Update: after reading people advocating in owners's favour, I felt the need to stress that even though English is not my first language I often do presentations and speak to customers in London. So, it's not a language barrier but these people's arrogance and ignorance. I strongly doubt they can communicate in any other language rather than English while most of the people they treat bad speak more than 2 languages. The food was not bad, but be prepared to be served by a passive/aggressive lady who would rather not look you in the eye while taking your order. I felt bad about such a sad life in a beautiful place, though. Make sure you give all the love you got to make her life worth living. The husband was polite but didn't seem to enjoy attending English speakers with different accents than his. Be prepared to offend his sensitive hearing when invading the space where he does his living from. The experience was so miserable I even forgot to take some photos.
