Dan's at The Crown in Wiltshire

Amazing dining experience. Very busy but the food and service were faultless. EXCELLENT gluten free choices too.

16th Nov, we held a birthday dinner at Dan's upstairs in the private dinning room. There were 16 of us and everyone commented on how fantastic the food, service, staff and location was. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff who looked after us were exceptional, timed everything to perfection. None of us had eaten there before, and I can guarantee we will be going back. Great food, Great wine and Great people. Thank you for a really memorable evening.

We had the most wonderful meal in Dans this weekend. As vegans/ vegetarians we were unbelievably grateful that the vegan/ veggie option wasn’t a depressing risotto or a salad and was something that was delicious and unique - what a breath of fresh air for a restaurant in a rural place! Dans is going to be our go to restaurant now - Thanks so much!

Excellent service the beef was the best I have ever had, it has to be the best restaurant in Marlborough

Fantastic service, fantastic food. Throughly enjoyed. Cosy atmosphere. Perfect Sunday afternoon with family .

Fantastic Sunday roast at Dan's place, food was delicious & plenty of it, fantastic service & table of 11 sat upstairs felt almost like private dining, highly recommended

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Welcoming environment, we'll be back.

Best roast we've had in a long time. Still talking about in some weeks later. Staff friendly, interior is a little quirky, food exceptional.

The food is excellent, and well worth the prices. Service is friendly and efficient. Highly recommended. However, the menu (for lunch at least) seems to change very rarely, so some new choices would be welcome.

Food was great. Menu was interesting and a bit different. The atmosphere was lively and busy.

Delicious dishes in fusion style. Service great. Each of us was served with an individual bottle of hot sauce when requested. Good service.

Food was fab, six of us went for lunch and all enjoyed our three courses very much, all polished our plates. Delicious food and very good service. Will visit again!

We went last night to celebrate our anniversary and had a thoroughly wonderful evening. The service was spot on, friendly and efficient staff. The food was delicious and fairly priced. Would definitely recommend to others. 😊

Good food in a relaxed atmosphere. Serve is attentive and friendly.

Wagu beef roast was an excellent choice for main course and the G&T prawns to start were fantastic

Visited 10th July with family, six of us and had fabulous lunchtime . All courses absolutely delicious and staff friendly and accommodating. Top notch thank you Dan and staff .

Great food and service, highly recommend.

100% great atmosphere and service…Sunday Lunch brilliant

Family group of seven went for Sunday lunch on Father's day. The food was truly excellent, we'll definitely be back!

We booked a table for a small group for a Saturday lunch here. We had a vegan GF person in our party but there was an option for her, which was great. It's not a huge menu and what there is, to me, is just too busy. For example, one of the desserts was a peanut butter brownie or blondie with banofee ice cream. Those two things sound nice separately but together it's a lot of flavours to the extent it's kind of overwhelming / potentially don't really all go together nicely. When we arrived and ordered drinks, two pairs of people ordered the same thing. The server brought us two lemonades and then tried to give them to two people sat next to each other, but that wasn't correct. We grabbed the drink and gave it to the right person but the server intervened saying she had given us a male and female glass, thinking the two people sitting next to each other had those drinks and she seemed upset that a female-presenting person would drink out of a 'male' glass. She said she could get another glass so the person would have the correctly gendered glass but we declined. It was just awkward that something that was clearly done out of kindness and practicality was made so weird so quickly. The food and service were fine otherwise, not outstanding, which for the prices, felt like we got less than we paid for.

Got stuck in traffic on the M4 so jumped off the motorway, and by chance stumbled upon this gem of a bar/restaurant. Duck & celeriac to start, followed by fillet beef medallions. I live in France and like my steak blue - this was over blue, but flame grilled and tasty as anything. The staff were super accomodating and friendly, moving us inside and outside. Lovely provence Rosé as an accompaniment - What a happy accident ending up here. Will stop by again if I'm in the area. 10 out of 10.

The best lamb I’ve ever had in my entire life! Just WOW!

great food, great service and nice atmosphere.

Food excellent Service slow Atmosphere Noisy table close to us could hear every word they said

Came for a roast last weekend and it’s honestly the best I’ve ever had at a restaurant! Really delicious food.

Great enjoyed it. Afterwards, we visited Savernake forest.

The food was really nice, but above all the staff were absolutely lovely

We booked lunch online which we had today at 2.30pm. The atmosphere was perfect as although very busy, there was no harsh loudness and the setting was relaxed and very comfortable. It was hard to choose what to eat as we fancied virtually everything on the menu🤣 We decided on smoked salmon and crayfish cocktail for my wife and I had smoked duck Caesar salad - perfectly cooked and beautifully presented! We had Stonebass on samphire and capers over excellent mashed potato with a butter and caper sauce - this was probably the most delicious fish dish I’ve ever had! The front of house team were helpful and patient when advising on which vodka and white wine to have. I recommend this restaurant and booking a table is strongly recommended!

Superb, fairly-priced food and extensive wine list. More importantly, the service was super-efficient, friendly and above all, knowledgeable. A real gem in Marlborough, why would you go to all those chain-run places on the high street when you have Dan’s?

Fantastic birthday meal. All very tasty and sweet potato soup was to die for. Sunday lunch. Thank you

1st time visit for Sunday roast. Excellent.

Fantastic Sunday lunch, perfectly cooked pink Beef, only down side was very slow to get main course after starter and main course only warm.

Amazing roast dinner! The best in Wiltshire and it’s not even close.

Delicious food, great atmosphere with open fires which were very welcome on a soggy January lunchtime. Would definitely recommend and keen to return.

Very good service with excellent food

Celebrated my 80th Birthday with family and a beautiful meal. Thank you

Seasonal, delicious food and great service. Some of the tables are quite close, so ask for a more private spot if you prefer!

Had excellent Christmas lunch, would recommend to everyone

Food is absolutely amazing... service great, atmosphere spot on....

Great food, great service, would definitely go again

Excellent Sunday lunch with attentive service. Will definitely be back!

Innovative cuisine and different, good quality food decent prices, nice surroundings and not too ponsey .. would recommend

We were a party of 4 for their set menu and we had a thoroughly enjoyable meal. Everything was delicious and the service was perfect! The espresso martinis were a particularly good way to finish off the meal. I can highly recommend them.

The best restaurant in Marlborough, no exceptions. The food is outstanding, the service is fantastic and the atmosphere is lovely. Can be really fancy or really relaxed. It’s just a beautiful evening out.

Really, really, delicious food, and in such an unassuming place. Dan, whoever you are, hats off to you sir. 👏

Delicious, top drawer, quality food. Very decent wine and cocktail list. We went for Sunday lunch and the beef was amazing. Just melts in your mouth. Great selection of tasty sides too. The service was excellent. Utterly charming staff, not at all pretentious for such classy venue. Very highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed Would definitely give more than 5 stars.

Unfortunately ran into one of those chefs, who knows better than the customer how their steak should be cooked. Despite explaining the steak needed to be cooked through due to medical treatment being received, it arrived medium and red inside. It was sent back to be finished, and it came back cremated on the outside. It was too burnt to eat, and it felt like spite to be honest. We all know chefs ‘know’ how steak ‘should’ be cooked, but if they are not capable of producing one cooked through to the customer’s specification, it’s a poor job. It’s a shame because the front of house service was lovely. It gets 2 stars only because my vegetarian meal was nice enough, but I couldn’t finish it as my mum ended up with no meal and what I did have I ate alone. Birthday meal ruined :(

Great Sunday lunch. Very ample portions. The service is exemplary

Amazing food! Great gluten free options. Very helpful and friendly. All home cooked to perfection

Delicious food, excellent service, and they have a whole separate plant-based menu for vegans. Amazing!

We visited this place on a whim and it was lovely! On arrival the staff were very welcoming. They catered for my gluten intolerance and were very helpful. The place was lovely and clean inside. The food was freshly cooked and it definitely tasted yummy! I would definitely recommend giving them a try.

Really lovely, comfortable and friendly staff.

Great food, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere

Had a fantastic meal there today, food was amazing and staff very friendly. They went out of their way to make sure we were happy. Will definitely be coming back!

I have eaten at Dan's several times and the quality of the food is just superb. Lovely staff and a great atmosphere.

Delicious meals chosen from an innovative menu.

Food absolutely fabulous, service friendly and helpful. Atmosphere for a Tuesday buzzing

went for a quick lunch while on the passing through the village. very lovely atmosphere. service is great, food is tasty. recommend when around this area!

Most delicious food I've ever eaten

Excellent food as always and great service. We love dans ❤️

Lovely food etc, but the menu needs to change to encourage returns

Fabulous food at reasonable prices

Fantastic restaurant, superb service with very talented chefs. We enjoyed a celebratory family meal at Dan’s, highly recommended.

Excellent meal. We chose to share the 3 small mains and 2 sides, rather like tapas. We had the smoked salmon with shrimps, the gin and tonic battered prawns and the beef. Sides of sweet potato fries and house salad. Also served with balsamic olive oil abd bread. More than enough for the 2 of us, and excellent service too. One of our party has mobility problems, and we were offered a reserved parking place in the car park. A great find.

Excellent set lunch menu here. £20 for 2 courses, £26 for 3. Caesar salad and ham hock terrine were delicious and followed by equally good, confit duck and pan fried halibut. Cheeseboard allows you to choose and share up to 5 artisan cheeses with accompanying chutneys. Nicely presented and great value food. Pleasant pint of Meantime pale ale too. Will come again.

Best ever pub Sunday lunch. 12 people no hitches, Perfect pink beef rump, great prawn starter, everything fantastic ( I never score fives, always strive for more)

Unfortunately I didn't take enough pics, but as you can see I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and espresso martini mocktail which was really good. The staff are great and service was really good.

We got there tonight Friday 7.15. We were offered a table 6ft away from a party of 15, yes 15 women already revved. We declined and sat at a table 15ft away. We wanted to be there as the food looked good,and was good. Evidently the party selfishly refused to go 'upstairs', insisting to be with other diners. The explanation was to turn away 15 covers or inflict the racket on other diners. We spent our time almost shouting at each other, as did others, we noticed, which contributed to the 'racket'. Pity, our first visit ,- ĺooked forward to it. Next time we will check if there's a party in. Interestingly, as we left we noticed other rooms where there was no racket, one if which was empty.

10/10 Had roast beef with lovely selection of vegetables and a huge Yorkshire pudding. I can honestly say it's the best roast beef I've ever had , everything about this roast was perfect afterwards had the hazelnut parfait which finished the meal off perfectly . The staff and service was fantastic. Woukd highly recommend, would book in advance as it is fully booked for a Sunday lunch .

Always good and plenty of choice.

Food is fantastic, possibly portions are too big for how rich the food is, but that's not the worst problem to have.

What a great find amazing food friendly staff

Great restaurant nice people, nothing too much trouble! Love it!

An evening at Dan's with a few friends for dinner. We each had 3 courses and each course was a delight. The food is presented well and tastes even better than it looks. Would highly recommend Dan's. Service was very good and for the quality of the food, it was very good value.

Fantastic food and service, we were a table of 10 and we all enjoyed the evening. Thank You

Very good food and a lovely menu. The staff were very friendly and gave a top notch recommendation for wine. Over all I will return and can recommend this restaurant and the price was fair.

Wonderful, delicious food & great friendly professional service. Good value for top quality cooking.

Really really good roast dinner. Great beef, perfect roasts and Yorkshire, tasty gravy and some interesting vegetable sides. My wife is vegan (fussy mare) and they did a roast with a mushroom which was also very good. Spot on.

Excellent meal with delicious seasonal choices and outstanding service

Flavours, quality, wine list and service all great. Really good experience.

Friendly staff and excellent food! Our second time here and just as good as the first time. Quiet at lunchtime on Saturday which was nice.

I've been wanting to visit Dan's for a while, and it didn't disappoint! A lovely little restaurant with a cosy ambience, and friendly staff. Cocktails were delicious, and the food was sublime. I had the Gin and Tonic prawns followed by the Pork tenderloin which came with a potato and black pudding hash. Both were excellent, and I can highly recommend Dan's 😊.

Great evening, lovely food & attentive service. Thoroughly recommended

Excellent meal, we were very well looked after.

Undoubtedly the most interesting menu in Marlborough and surrounding area, Dan has always delivered going back to his early days at Cole’s and in this incarnation he delivers in spades. 1 star Michelin at a bargain basement price! Knowledgeable, friendly staff who go the extra mile, well sorted wine list with some real affordable gems. In a word FANTASTIC!

Very nice food and friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Helpful staff, lovely food. The pork tenderloin is a must try, the lamb was really good too.

Great for a glass of champagne after the cinema

Fabulous food, lovely atmosphere and staff. Will definitely be back.

Love Dan's. Only had drinks so far. Having this this coming week. Can't wait.. Great staff...

23 Apr 2022: Just had dinner at Dan's at The Crown. Just lovely. Great food and nice surroundings. We will return! Our old review of Dan's previous restaurant still stands: What a great place. For once, trip advisor was right. We shared some of their 'small plates' which was perfect for two on a Friday lunchtime. Food was excellent. Initially thought that £6.50 was a bit steep for a creme brullee but it was massive and the best I've ever had. This place gets a big thumbs up from me!

Every time we visit we have the best food and service. The beef sauce was unreal and my mezze is perfect. Jill is always so lovely and recommended the perfect wine. Will be back very soon! Thank you

Definitely the best place in Marlborough for food and the staff are so happy and lovely. 🍻 cheers 🍻

The best full english breakfast I've ever had!!!

Probably the best place to eat in Marlborough

My friend had driven down from Hereford so we wanted to find somewhere for a nice lunch. We had a wander up and down the high street and then decided to try this place. I'm so glad we did. We didn't have a reservation but they kindly found us a table. The food was excellent, good vegan/vegetarian options too. The aubergine dish I had was so tasty. The place was clean and the staff really nice, polite and helpful. Great atmosphere too.

Second visit to Dan's and it didn't disappoint. Great food, service and atmosphere. Will definitely be going back and highly recommend.

Came her for a lunch, we tried the tapas type menu and it was seriously amazing quality. Highly recommended and will be coming back .... Wow food

Superb menu - delicious. Wonderful IPA on draft

Great Thursday evening at Dan's. Thank you for alternative Vegi choices; (Aubergine/noodle dish- particularly). Great Staff👍; so warm & accomodating; experience shows- 'off the menu' cocktails; sure they can be cater your needs. So calm & friendly. Breath of fresh air.
