Crown and Anchor in Wiltshire

Excellent country pub with friendly staff and wonderful food and drink. Specials available each week which complements their standard menu. Desserts are fabulous especially the variations on the cheesecake. Definitely worth a visit!

Returned here for first time for many years since when the pub management has changed hands several times. Now very friendly Romanian couple are running it and have re-introduced the Sunday quiz. Visited Wednesday evening after playing pickleball locally and my wife and I enjoyed a nice pint of London Pride

Came in with family in July had a great meal I normally come here with my friend when she visits and it’s so nice and chilled all staff very polite and helpful so decided to take my family for a meal all food was so fresh will definitely be returning soon thank you once again to all staff

From Canada, visiting friends in the UK, and came across this quaint restaurant after being out for a long walk with the dog. Food was excellent, all freshly prepared, and great friendly service. I had the hummus and falafel, my friend had the shrimp, and the guys had baguette sandwiches which were fresh and crisp. The restaurant is recently under new ownership and Mihai, the manager/co-0wner is super friendly, made us all feel very welcome including the dog who sat quietly under the table the entire time. He was given treats as we were leaving! If I lived there, it would definitely become my new favourite. They also own The Winterbourne in Swindon. Would definitely return and I highly recommend.

Visiting local area popped up the road, signs say under new management. Stopped for lunch and then came back for dinner. Friendly, helpful staff who were atte tive. Portion size was generous and the menu choice great. The food was tasty and we cleared our plates. Good drink selection too. The salmon was sublime and the creamy mushrooms to start were a hit. I would have taken pictures but we have eaten it already!!

The Crown & Anchor is a local pub in Marlborough offering exceptionally good food at reasonable prices. They offer a fixed menu plus specials to choose from. The portions are very generous and they cater for kids to. Desserts are to die for! I’m told there will be a cocktail menu coming soon, so I’m looking forward to sampling them over the summer months. If you haven’t visited the pub yet, don’t miss out, book your table and help support a local business run by friendly staff.

Un beau cadre, dans un village typique, le restaurant propose des tables dans le jardin, le service est parfait, et les plats bons et copieux

Obviously a fresh approach to running this business. Mine hosts/team have nothing to learn about good venue, smiling helpful service and gastronomic delight ! We four friends with different tastes were each knocked out by our lunch experience today; we promise to return soon and wish the proprietors every success ! David Sholl and friends.

The new ownership of this place have done marvels. The food and excellent value for money are to be applauded, and they have some excellent wines from little known regions

Went with my husband for lunch as part of our honeymoon, it was a great experience. The food is truly excellent and the owner was very nice and friendly. Prices very reasonable. Will definitely come again whenever we can. Not to be missed if you ever visit the area.

We’ve been away for 6 weeks, missed the relaunch of our local. There’s a real buzz in the village, we had our first meal, really lovely,. We will be there as regulars to enjoy their lovely food and atmosphere. Lots of locals supporting which is great, much nicer than The Bell which is not the place of old, frankly I know where I’d rather be, no comparison.

Glad to be the first to review our local under new management. We have had two evening meals and the pub has been buzzing over the weekend. New management been in for two weeks and the food is transformed. They are very busy as you would expect. The last meal we had here was in November so the locals are keen to see the new faces. Very friendly and excellent reasonably priced food. We’ll be back next week for another try.

Nice clean and roomy accommodation provided for our overnight stay. Staff friendly and helpful, food cooked fresh and tasted great. Sunday lunch was one of the best we have had.

Stopped to order baguettes for lunch and really friendly place, made me a lovely coffee whilst I was waiting, beautiful inside too, highly recommend !

Dropped in for a Friday night meal and to drink London Pride. Very nice pub food selection with specials and good ale. Glad to have the pub as my local.

Although the room was very large and the bathroom was the same. The bed was comfortable enough the breakfast was pretty pathetic. A supposed "continental breakfast" consisted of about 8 croissants without butter or jams, 1 small bottle of orange juice and the same in apple. 4 individual cereal boxes, tea/coffee, all served in a picnic hamper. No cheese or ham as there should be in a Continental Breakfast. Very disappointing.

Great meal at the Crown and Anchor in Ramsbury. Well cooked and good portion size - ham, egg and chips was really tasty. Very helpful and pleasant people and very welcoming to my dog! Definitely going again.

My friend and I stayed here on a cycling trip to Wales. They were extremely accommodating allowing us to keep our bicycles in our rooms with us, very reassuring for security and enabled a small amount of maintenance to be done in comfort.The rooms are large (Kennet more like a suit!) and clean with fridge, tea and coffee making gear and a good selection of breakfast comestibles which suited our purpose (early exit on a Sunday morning) perfectly..Dinner was an excellent pizza and several pints of beer.The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Stayed overnight as we were visiting friends in the village. Room was comfortable and the shower was excellent. Disappointed that there was no option of a cooked breakfast. Continental style food available in room.

Arriving very late as long journey. They very kindly left the door open. Super comfy bed. Very clean and spacious bathroom. Continental breakfast with good supply of water, juice, and tea and coffee. Would certainly stay again.

Dropped in for an evening meal again and my first review after ownership change. Great food from a young clever chef and three good ales. Inside has been decorated and improved. Great local pub.

Couples evening wanting to try local fare. Very welcoming new-ish team. Pub grub without fuss but served well and promptly. No nonsense and tasty. Good value also. Give it a try if you want to get away from that Gastro pub experience and enjoy a local pub.

Village pub.made welcome by owners, staff and regular drinkers. Food great. Close to Marlborough. Would definitely revisit when next in ares.

Dropped in for an evening meal again and up to usual standard. Had a warm winter salad and an excellent curry. Ray has just received his Excellence TripAdvisor certificate for all their hard work. Great local pub. We are lucky!

Excellent home cooked food. Will cater for nuances in taste and allergies. Really worth the money and great atmosphere to go with it.

Five of us visited The Crown and Anchor for Sunday lunch and I can only describe it as superb!

Following a search online I found the Crown and Anchor, it sounded traditional, charming and welcoming. I contacted the inn to find out if they have availability and if they accept pets. I had a reply from Ray within 24hours confirming he has booked us in. Ramsbury is a pretty village. The Crown offered a good choice of traditional meals and drinks. Our room was very spacious, clean and quiet. Food was very good, tasty, heartwarming. Would definitely return and recommend to passing travellers.

Visited on Saturday night and the food was once again fantastic. All four of us were happy and full. The well kept ales on offer make it all the better. I will definitely make the trip from Swindon again.

Dropped in to the Local for an evening meal. Chicken curry and a Chicken/ham pie. Very tasty and four real ales on too. Can’t manage a sweet though!

Great Sunday Lunch at the Crown and Anchor., very attentive service from Jan. We all agreed the best Sticky toffee pud we had tried.

Friday night is Crown night for us so here again. Nice selection of pub grub cooked to perfection by Ray. Nice curry on and a chicken dish too. All very nice with three real ales on.

Dropped in the local again for a Xmas meal. Great turkey dinner with Xmas pud. Three good beers on as usual. Great stuff.

My sisters and I, and our husbands, like to meet up now and then at each others houses, but at this time of the year we are of an age that we don't like driving home in the dark. So we arranged to meet at...

Stopped by on a Wednesday lunch time, the place was quiet which is a shame as everything was top class....

Dropped in to visit our local with a friend for a meal. Quite busy and always good ales. Often London...

We went as a group of football supporters, on they way to a game at Swindon Town FC. (the away...

I visited as part of a large group, although there was only one guy serving around 40 people lunches. He...

Wife a bit poorly so we will eat in. Who would have thought a takeaway pizza in Ramsbury. Pizza and curry collected and a great meal. Highly recommended.

Visited on Friday evening for something to eat. As usual food was great and the service good. This is a lovely village pub and really worth a visit.

We live not too far away from Ramsbury and have been meaning to pop in here for some time. Managed to get there today for lunch. Very friendly welcome, lovely traditional pub and great food. The sausage and mash was to die for and my husband really enjoyed his burger. Dogs are made to feel welcome. We will definitely return and would recommend this pub. Next time I will be having the fish and chips as ghat looked amazing !

Had Sunday lunch here today with our walking club which was the carvery everyone was very impressed food was excellent and a good selection of beers. They managed very well in spite of our numbers and the staff were all very friendly and efficient!

Well again we dropped in for a Friday evening meal. Four good real ales on for a start. Bangers and mash and the Warm Summer salad. Very nice food and up to usual standard.

A lovely pub, lots of period features and good draft beer.The landlord and his wife were very welcoming. We had a double room in a 'motel style' addition to this ancient pub, really well appointed and decorated, could not fault it at all. Must comment on the evening meal, I had home cooked Wiltshire ham 'off the bone', as good a ham as I have ever tasted and plenty of it in the serving. The village itself is very peaceful, a bit too quite for a city boy like me! but a nice relaxing stay.

Meat carved by the chef and superb choice of vegetables. Excellent presentation and cooked to perfection. Great choice of desserts.

My wife went for lunch today and found the food and service appalling.Unfortunately she was also ill afterwards.Living in the area my wife and I frequent many pubs and this is the worse one of approx. 20 we go to.Never going back.Not recommending at allAlso I assume ijmark's reviews are a friend of the landlord.

Having first one to the bell which had no cust service we decided to come here for lunch. food was very nice and was reasonable priced. service was brilliant so hats off to the waitress which the shiny t max shoes. will def return.

Dropped in our local for Friday evening. Three good ales on including Pedigree. Beef curry delicious and warm salad great too.

We booked for the night due to visiting RIAT the next day and this pub was fairly close to drive to the air show. We had a good sized room off the court yard with a double bed and sofa bed, which our daughter slept in. We had dinner in the pub - a very nice fish and chips. We were up too early to try the breakfast but I'm sure it would have been good. Lovely pub and friendly staff.

Dropped into our local pub for a Friday meal. Apparently our fish was a little under size so Ray gave us two! Huge portion in photo. Also delicious bangers and mash. Great stuff

My family who are all very local to the village dating back to 1900 held my grandmothers wake in the crown & anchor. When we arrived after the funeral the owner made a snotty comment that we were earlier than he thought. I didn't release funerals had a set time! And then when we started to unwrap the food (that we had obviously paid for in advance and as it was now 1:30pm we were all hungry) the owner then made a vicious and unnecessary comment of "here come the locusts" Absolutely disgusting behaviour from a landlord at a wake.WOULD DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND A FUNCTION HERE UNTIL THE CURRENT OWNERS SELL UP.

Dropped in to our local for a Friday night meal and beers. Wow! Our favourite beer London Pride on! Best Pride I've tasted for a while. Had two bar meals. Great food - best we have seen in a pub for a while.

Friendly welcoming pub. Ate here today with a group of friends. We had fish and chips and they were the best we had ever tasted

Dropped into our local to try a few beers and a meal. Four real ale on and all as good as usual. Two nice meals very well produced. Great value.

Dropped in to the local for the 2017 celebrations! There was a local band playing and quite lively. A great way to spend the evening!

Popped in for our Friday night visit to our local. Three real ales on and another put on while we were there. Great local pub with a Landlord keen to try new ideas. Good rooms available too as a friend of ours stayed last week. Good log fires too.

We went to the pub for a meal after a recommendation from a local resident, when we arrived there was a lovely fire burning in the hearth, just right on cold evening, the staff very friendly and cheerful with a sense of humour. We ordered our food and it was excellent. Says it all really.

An impromptu visit here with my elderly father in law on a Sunday lunch was a real success. We got a seat by the log fire and all enjoyed incredible roast beef, a good selection of veggies and endless gravy. The deserts were delicious too with a traditional crumble and sticky toffee pudding sampled. We didn't try anything off the standard menu but the table next to us were raving about their choices.The menu was simple, honest pub food REALLY well executed.The landlord, landlady and the surroundings were equally warm and friendly. They served local ales which I'm told were well kept.We will definitely go back.

Warm and friendly welcome, good accommodation clean and spacious room with effective heating and excellent wifi. Quiet location with good on site parking. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and very good choice. Wished I had eaten here in the evening instead of where we did go.

We had not planned to visit a pub on a recent visit to Ramsbury but circumstances dictated a wait while the Post Office re-opened. So we found ourselves in the cosy and welcoming Crown & Anchor. It immediately reminded me of the short of pub that I'd frequented when growing up. Friendly, good beer and plenty of chat. We chose a tapas style sharing platter of four dishes which was excellent, washed down with real (and I mean REAL) ale. It's the sort of pub I could sit in all afternoon and get involved in the village gossip and I bet they do a great roast beef sandwich or a real ploughman's. We intend to return and find out.

The Crown and Anchor put on a delicious buffet lunch for our party of ten recently. We were located in a semi-private back room, which was excellent and the staff were efficient and friendly in an unobtrusive way.We also stayed the night in a very comfortable spacious room with all our needs catered for.Breakfast was excellent, with plenty of choice, cheerfully served by a roaring log fire.Couldn't ask for more really!

In for a Friday dinner after work all week. Four real ales on and we had three thirds in a wooden handle to taste. Nice meal - chicken curry and egg & chips. Good value and friendly staff. Forgot to photograph the food before eating.

Pleasant comfortable rooms. Good food in particular the breakfast which was excellent. Very friendly good service.

We dropped in with our neighbours to try the newish Chat and Chew Chews. They are a bit like Tapas and there is a range of nine. We went for eight items between four - great to share. We then had some delicious desserts- the lemon pot being particularly good. Great food and ales at a good price.

Friendly and welcoming, nothing was to much trouble for Ray and his team, excellent range of local ales and great food that was cooked to order.

I had to arrange a post funeral buffet and bar facilities in Ramsbury at fairly short noticeThe landlord was very helpful and arranged a buffet and bar facilities for thirty five people. The buffet was excellent. The food was fresh and perfectly presented. Every one was very impressed. The price per head was very reasonable indeed. and very good value for money. The landlord and team are professional and friendly. Two of the family stayed overnight at the Pub and had only praise for the accommodation and meals.It is a an interesting quintessential English Pub with well kept real ales We will return on a happier occasion.DEREK

A deceptively sized pub, full of locals. We had a pint of local ale and a chocolate bar whilst waiting for our taxi to our hotel near by. Lovely atmosphere and friendly people once they had got over the shock of outsiders coming in! Could have stayed all afternoon had we not arranged the taxi. Would return again.

Dropped in the local for beers and food. Four real ales and sampled three in third pints. More pubs should have thirds! Chef did a good job again and we sampled the chat-n-chewchews. These are small starters a bit like Tapas. We shared 4 and its about two small meals in size. Great idea for snacks. And always 2 chocolates with the bill!

We were on a car journey back home and needed lunch. We arrived in the village of Ramsbury almost by chance and found the Crown and Anchor. A lovely old world English pub and with a warm atmosphere and welcoming service. Not an ultra modern place but cosy and with charm.The pub lunch was one of the best my wife and I had and the pork rib was one of the best best I have tasted. The meat literally fell off the ribs and was cooked perfectly- often the ribs are cooked dry. A range of interesting real ales were on offer and complimented the lunch.

Ended up at Crown & Anchor in Ramsbury for lunch with a friend after mistiming a visit to a local place!Both ordered the Cranchor Burger with bacon & cheese, hand cut chips and homemade coleslaw @ £11.45. The burger was HUGE, the chips crisp and lots of them! Very friendly landlord and will be returning one evening in the not too distant future.

Dropped in on a Friday night for a meal and beers.The pub has just started serving 1/3 pints - so we had 3 x 1/3 of the real ales for a start.Ordered fish and chips and curry of the day - which was beef. The meat is always really well cooked, so a good meal.

Comfortable little pub in the lovely little village of Ramsbury. Friendly staff, well cooked food and nicely presented , highly recommend

Not our first time here, walked in from our home village and as always warm greeting, great choice of beers and whisky (not for me at lunch though!). Food choice is very good, always well cooked and presented, comfortable ambience whether a quiet Monday lunchtime or later in the week or weekends. This is a very nice pub with rooms and having enviously seen the breakfast supplied to guests before it looks very tasty, Really enjoyed our meal - food has been consistently good, long may it continue.

Went to the Crown on Friday and the redecorating is nearing completion. Four real ales were good and curry of the day was Caribbean Pork. Also thought the bangers and mash were good.

Business in the area and attracted to the pub by the 'A' board on the main road.Warm welcome and good array of real ales.Despite the comprehensive menu I went for the full rack of ribs (£12.95) from the specials board.WOW ! It was enormous and a full butchers rack at that.Must have been the biggest I have ever seen.Mine host said "I hope you are up for the challenge".Well I was,but only just.Perfectly oven cooked rather than pit roasted,but then again this is a pub rather than a BBQ pit restaurant.Accompanied by Wickwar Brewery Cotswold Way (£3.50).Excellent beer in great condition.Fullest compliments to the proprietors of this exceptional free house.Long may you prosper.

We enjoyed first class breakfasts and very generous, tasty evening meals. Chef always came out of the kitchen to check everything was to our liking. Nothing was too much trouble.

Dropped in for a Friday night meal. Four real ales - great! Had fish and chips and sweet and sour pork. Both really good. Rating slightly down as the Macaroon Sandwich sweet was a bit too solid to eat. A lighter macaroon would have been better.

We had a last minute family gathering and needed a pub nearish to Marlborough where 11 of us could meet up. None of us had been here for Sunday lunch and we were absolutely delighted with everything. We had the room away from the main eating area which brilliant as we had 4 small children with us. The food was typical carvery with excellent roast beef and a wide variety of vegetables on a hot plates where you can help yourself.We will definitely return.

We stayed just one night but wish we could have stayed longer. The room was quiet, incredibly clean, and very comfortable. There was a very large selection of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and water available in the room. It was a great nights sleep. The owners were away during our visit, but that meant that we were taken care of by Steve, the chef. Steve was absolutely amazing! He, along with the other staff, were friendly and attentive. They seem to really enjoy their jobs. The food was fantastic as well. I couldn't recommend this inn more! Many many thanks to Steve!

Dropped in for a meal last Friday. Three real ales and a good cider selection. Great pub grub at a good price as usual. New chef starting soon so hope for a few new menu items.

In a nine day visit to the area I went twice to this pub, which had a traditional village pub atmosphere and served excellent food at a reasonable price. It is not easy to find pubs in this area which have not converted to gastro pubs where you need 3 courses if you don't want to leave still feeling hungry.

Having read recent reviews I was looking forward tp having lunch at the Crown and Anchor. Sadly I as were the rest of our party disappointed in varying degrees. On the specials board was Lamb or Pork I opted for the Pork with vegetables and mash asked for roast potatoes which didn’t have any crunch when they arrived! The pork was was tough and not freshly carved. The burger was a success but the triple cooked chips were not fresh either, a seafood and fish platter didn't impress, the fish looked overdone and the other bits of seafood were just more batter than content.Maybe Saturday was not the right day to go but also we were the only people eating!Good beer. Good service and a nice setting, but the food was poor!

We were attracted by the 'biker friendly' tag and it didn't disappoint. The landlady was gave us a warm welcome as did the locals. The fish and chips is to die for! Served in a large bowl lined with newspaper paper. The fish was incredibly fresh and the chips were fantastic, served with really fresh, sweet pees and what looked like home made tartar sauce. My only regret was that, because I was riding, I couldn't really sample the wide range of real ales on offer - I'll have to come back when someone else is driving!

This is truly the worst restaurant/pub I have ever been to, the carvery if that's what you could call it was a cold pile of tasteless cheap produce, all cold and served next to the stinking toilets, the staff were patronising rude and unhelpful, some other people in my party had other food that was truly vile, would never go back terrible experience.

Ate at the Crown and Anchor again. Always good value and good local food. Often has 4 real ales on. Always interesting choices.

This was our first visit since its been refurbished. An excellent carvery meal with fab apple crumble with custard. Great friendly service and atmosphere.

Loved it had starter of bread and oil , fish and chips, well presented and delicious . High recommend.

Called in for lunch and have to say it was very worthwhile. Although a Monday, there were a few "locals" who welcomed you with a smile and a very friendly attentive barman called Peter. A very attractive pub inside with open fires and great local beer. I met the landlord/owner and discovered that the beer I had tried had actually been "invented" by him when he owned a local brewery, before he moved on in his entrepreneurial empire to buy The Crown and Anchor. He deserves to do well and is trying lots of different avenues to entice the "punters" in. Curry night, fish night, pie night, 2 for one, live music and believe it or not vintage car and bike shows in the large car park . He did not seem to mind having a chat and it helped made the time whizz by so very quickly. Now to the foodie bit! The menu is not large but offers a good choice that seems to cover what good "pub food" is all about. You can check the menu on line. Prices are really reasonable and I noticed that there was an offer of two for one on the lunch prices. The food was well cooked and the "thrice" cooked chips were delicious, but probably very sinful (Just loosen the belt)!!! Will definitely go back for I want to try their fish and chips. It is a shame that we do not live in Ramsbury for it would certainly be my local. Good food, good pricing, good venue, good mine host, not really much more to say. I guess on a busy music night it would be five stars for atmosphere, but Monday lunch time is not a fair representation and I try to offer a fair review. Thank you Crown and Anchor.

Four of us do a weekly walk & finish up with a pub lunch. We have done quite a few now so have experienced a lot of pubs in Wiltshire & Gloucestershire.The Crown & Anchor in Ramsbury portrays everything you could wish for in a pub. Good food, good service, great location & a landlord with a smile on his face as warm as the open fires in the bar. Under new management for the past 11 months doing a great job. Look out for all the quirky objects in the ceiling of the bar & give one of the 2 beers a try, made to the landlords receipe when he owned the brewery. If you like proper pubs you will love this one.

My wife & I had lunch here yesterday. We were using a Groupon deal but even if we had paid full price we would still have said it is fantastic value for money. The food was excellent (Olives & Hummus starters and then their fantastic Fish & Chips for both of us). It's a nicely decorated traditional style pub with pleasant atmosphere. Warm too with 2 open fires going. We'll be going back!

visited today and had cray fish starter and fish and chips.. what and excellent meal, very friendly staff, a really good find,A nice simple menu at good prices, will be back a really nice village pub.the chef told us they are going to do fish night,curry nights and pie nights.

We were in the area and followed a brown tourist sign to another pub... Which was closed. We then followed the road to Ramsbury and the bell and crown... Too pricey and too full but we did see a sign for the crown and anchor - what a pub! As others have said the decor is a little faded, however the atmosphere is excellent and the space light and clean. Redecoration is in progress but there was nothing to detract from the overall good 'feel' A warm welcome from the landlady and we had a look at the mercifully short menu. I chose fish and chips with mushy peas and tartar sauce... My partner took the Turkey special. I won. The fish was perfectly cooked in a light crisp beer batter, the 'thrice cooked' chips were excellent and the mushy peas the best I have had outside of Yorkshire. The turkey was reasonable; the only slight downside being overcooked carrots... However the cabbage was perfect and the honey roast parsnips better than mine (/me reduces partner's food allowance for that sleight!)Two meals and two drinks for just shy of £25 was a bargain... We would visit again but a 220 mile round trip is a bit difficult to justify.

Had a lovely Sunday roast here yesterday. Roast beef, four freshly cooked veg, roast potatoes and Yorkshire pud all cooked by the landlord. Pub has a cosy olde feel about it. Went a few weeks ago on a Groupon and had lovely fish and chips, enjoyed it so went back..

Visited this week on my own whilst killing time. Lovely service, fabulous choice of food and great all round atmosphere... I shall be returning!!

As you enter the quaint little pub, it does appear a little run down but once you are sat around the lovely open fire you realise what a beautiful setting the bar area is. We bought a groupon deal which gave us 2 x two course meals for £14. We both went with the fish and chips and the sticky toffee pudding. The food was stunning, so fresh and tasty. The staff was friendly and helpful. It's has a wonderful country feel to it and plenty of parking. Will defiantly be going back.

This is our local and we eat and drink regularly here.Great local pub, under new management in 2014, with good value pub grub.3 real ales or more - frequent beer festivals.Pleasant beer garden.Music nights, pub quiz and other events.

This is a lovely country village pub. Four of us came for lunch on an offer of a starter and main course and they willingly switched from having a starter to a pudding.Good food, well presented and good friendly service. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Here for a family re-union - this is a great little village pub that serves a range of local beers and well-cooked pub food, based on quality ingredients. A relaxed and friendly ambience and plenty of local trade - always a good sign. Well worth a visit, we'll use again the next time we are in the area.

This eaterie snuggles in the picturesque Wiltshire village of Ramsbury. It is a quintessential English Pub that offers a very good bar with varied real ales and wines and a wholesome menu with everything cooked to order. Our accommodation was very comfortable, with a spacious room and a large wet room and toilet. They have a large car park and garden, with a bar-b-q facility as well. The Crown & Anchor is also pet friendly !!!!We were greeted by a larger than life landlord who was very welcoming and we also met some very nice locals who, gave us some very good info of local walks. Our visit took place in the mid week, but had it been at the week end, we were advised to book the Sunday lunch, as it is very popular.All in all, a very comfy and reasonably priced visit..

Welcoming, warm and cosy, The Crown and Anchor is a very solid, all round pub. They serve well-kept local beer for a start. The excellent Ramsbury brewery beers dominated but they also had Three Castles beer on when I was last there. The food is unfussy but very good. My baguette was warm and crisp with plenty of filling and a worthwhile bit of salad and some good crisps. Service is friendly and efficient. The landlady was kind enough to let us use the car park as we were walking before lunch. I would recommend this pub with no reservations whatsoever.

Tried this for lunch with family of 4.Lovely choice of home cooked food, not a large selection but a well balanced choice availablewith a selection of pub favourates.. Prices very reasonable.Food arrived hot, well presented and very good quality with good portions. Beef pie and sea bassvery good with lots of flavour. Very attentive service and a nice range of traditional ales.Would recommend without reservation.
