Fleur de Lys in Mendip

Absolutely cannot fault this hotel and all the staff made us feel so welcome the food was amazing as was the room didn’t want to leave look forward to seeing you soon thanks for a fantastic stay

This was a wonderful surprise, we stayed at the Plaine across the street. We had breakfast and dinner two days here. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating with great stories about the history of the area. Highly recommend.

We stayed at The George outside of Bath for 2 nights and ate dinner and breakfast at the Fleur De Lys twice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They told us about the history of the inn, explained the bus schedule and were very attentive. The steaks were cooked perfectly and were very flavorful. The hake was also perfectly prepared. The tomatoe and red pepper soup was also very good. They were very accomodating when we asked for substitutions, and when we asked to have breakfast early. The salmon and eggs, and poached eggs with avocado were very well done and filling at breakfast. Excellent service at breakfast as well. We also very much enjoyed our stay at The Plaine (across the street from The George), a lovely hotel. If we ever find ourselves in this part of England again we would definitely return.

Aimie was a first class host for my sons birthday party last week. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was great. Thank you 👍

A great historic building and Aimie has done wonders in attracting people into the pub and offering great food to help with the long visits watching the rugby!! Long may it be a an integral part of the village.

The Fleur is a unique proper pub, full of character and a key focal point of the village. It has been so good recently to see the improvement that has occurred since Amy took over the running and operations, and long may this continue. During the 6 Nations games, the atmosphere has been brilliant and everything you want your local to be! Great fun!

I popped onto the fleur whilst driving through Norton st Phillip for a quick drink with my Boyfriend. One word I have to describe is Wow! From trying various pubs in bath we couldn’t seem to find anywhere with good ale, great service & also fun things to do! We played pool & darts, enjoyed some excellent ale (Betcombe Original) and had amazing service from Sam. Nothing was too much trouble! He made conversations about local events & we learnt he was fairly new. You would never have known. We were also lucky enough to bump into the GM Linda who was rushing around in the overly busy George. We will be back and will recommend to all our friends and family!!!!!!!!!!! We love the Fleur!

Over £15 for two gin and tonics. Bar staff not overly friendly and almost smirking at charging us for the drinks. Cold atmosphere. Would recommend the George Innn over the road much more.

We spent one evening there whilst staying at the George Hotel opposite. The Butcombe orininla beer was excellent. The food , although with a limited selection, was excellent . One couldn't ask for better or friendlier service - very welcoming.

Not only is this pub set in the most beautiful of buildings the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, they completely exceeded our expectations, being from the Midlands with a chip shop on every road, and Indian, Chinese, pizza take away available at the touch of button going in to a small village for a stay over night we didn't think twice about being able to get food after an eventful journey from the snow filled Midlands, storm Arwen, a blow out on the motorway, arriving late and hungry all we wanted was food.....to find the restaurant full and NO take aways (?!) Luckily for us, Dawn took it up on herself to ring around all the restaurants in a bid to get us some food, after a good 20-25 mins she found us a take away that would deliver to the pub! After an hour's wait, several wines later a walk back to camp with a curry in hand, we were to happy ladies! Thank you so much for your help.

Step back in time and enjoy the ancient art of hospitality. It even has a skittle alley! We want to go back in the winter to enjoy the best of it's cosy features - an amazing log fire. Thank you all.

Fantastic old pub with real history and friendly staff. Well worth a visit. I will be back with friends to enjoy this great pub.

Popped in for a drink and to check out the menu. Had a drink, the menu was very standard even though it's billed as an Italian establishment so we didn't eat there. Dog friendly Wadworth's Pub.

We visited the Fleur de Lys while staying at the George and the Plaine across the street. Well, visited is a bit of understatement - we practically moved in for the day. From the first moment you open the door, this place just oozes atmosphere and friendliness, from the roaring fire, to the well-chosen and appropriately-volumed music playlist, to the plethora of amusements like darts, backgammon, pool and even a skittle alley! We just propped up the bar (with its excellent draft ales) and chatted with the staff and locals. The bar manager Sean is brilliant. We spent several hours discussing everything from rugby to beer, travel, life, the universe and everything. He could not have made us more welcome, but at the same time, he was always watching for a dirty glass on a table or a patron needing a refill, or keeping the fire stocked up with logs. Top marks! We would come to Norton St Philip again just for the Fleur de Lys. We did not eat at the pub as we had booked at the George, but saw many plates virtually licked clean, and for sure we will try the food here next time.

Went here by accident because the George Inn, where we were staying closed it's bar and restaurant at 6:30pm on Boxing Day. Ended up having a lovely night. Food was good, ale was even better. The landlord and staff were very friendly and kept us supplied with drinks all evening when our glasses were getting low. We even watched the Leicester vs Liverpool game - bad result though! Great small friendly pub. Would recommend it if you are in the area.

We enjoyed drinks here, and threw a few arrows...what a gorgeous place to relax in. An open fire and welcoming staff. If you are in the area, you must stop by!

Gezellig café om te borrelen, maar zeker ook goed voor een eenvoudig hapje eten. De kwaliteit van het eten is ronduit goed en de prijzen zijn aantrekkelijk. de bediening is prima en ongedwongen.

We went here several times during our stay in the area, its a great local type pub serving good beer. Cant comment on food as we did not eat. TOP tip if your a group try the skittle alley its great fun and free

We spent three nights in Norton St Philip, two of which we went to the fleur for dinner. Between the two of us, over the two nights, we had the Chili con carne, the risotto and the Mac & cheese. The risotto was amazing, the chilli was spot on and the mac and cheese was really nice. The garlic bread was fantastic. Friendly atmosphere. Would recommend.

A fantastic bar to have a couple of pints The place is massive, nice ambiance, lots of beers, and a bowling-like alley at the back.

Having spent the day in Bath we were looking for good food at a reasonable price and we found both at the Fleur de Lys! The pub has an interesting history, mainly about the Pitchfork Rebellion.

Fuimos aquí alrededor de 1930 para cenar. La anfitriona fue muy agradable y amable. Cada uno de nosotros pedimos una ensalada César y dividimos una pizza Margharita. La ensalada era buena y fresca con finas rodajas de parmasean. La cantidad justa de aderezo para mí y solicité guardar las anchoas. La pizza no tenía albahaca fresca que pudiera decir y la corteza parecía ser del tipo que sacas del congelador. El menú es bastante limitado en comparación con el George Inn al otro lado de la calle.

Located opposite The George Inn and managed by the same group, friendly pub with good food. We did found the choice limited but we chose a sharer and a pizza between the two of us and the portion size was ample.

Abbiamo cenato in un antico caratteristico pub inglese, risalente al 1300 circa. Ottimo piatto a base di camembert fuso in una ciotola con marmellata di cipolle, insalata e pane tipo focaccia. La ragazza che ci ha servito è simpatica e gentilissima.

Fuimos a la Fleur de Lys para cenar y tomar algo mientras estábamos alojados en el George Inn. El ambiente era increíble. El personal del bar era amable y acogedor, y el chef se enorgullecía de sus comidas. Había gente que amaba charlar y nos sentimos como en casa. El área del bar es muy pintoresca y en el otro lado hay un área de buen tamaño para comer. Si viaja con un perro, el bar cuenta con galletas y agua, y su perro es muy bienvenido por dentro. Simplemente me encanta este lugar.

Nice and cosy Nice ambient, food and atmosphere Just across the road from George’s inn which has the same menu but fleur de lys has pizza as well. Only two pubs in Norton st Philip this one is the cosiest.

We had high expectations having read reviews on Tripadvisor. Nothing special, very mediocre food, limited beer choice (tied house), and limited menu.

Nice friendly staff , food ok , nothing to write home about , it’s a nice pub and I would recommend it .

We didn’t stay in, but ordered takeaway from the Fleur De Lys - good value, handed over with a smile and some v nice salad, and proper, crispy pizza.

Pub bien inglés, la gente empieza a llegar a las 18.30. La cerveza y la sidra excelentes. La comida está bien, ricas pizzas y lasagna. Muy buena onda, se juega al backgamon y a los dardos. En el fondo hay hojas y lápices para los más chicos.

Food was good and beer was ok. Service was great but much preferred the George Inn across the street.

The property is owned and managed by the same folks who manage the St. George inn. It’s a nice little pub and I specially appreciated that they had pizza on the menu. Something different from the typical pub food. The bartender was very friendly. We did not play any of the games but they did have quite a few activities in the back. It’s a very family friendly pub. We saw a number of families with their kids there.

This pub was absolutely heaving!!! But the manager still made room for us! 4 of us sat down and had dinner the food was amazing and such good value for money! The lamb pie is to die for and nice creamy mash. It seems Friday nights the fleur is the place to be. We will be back! Many thanks to jordan and her parent.

Don't bother coming for a meal here! Half the menu wasn't even available! We went for a meal on my husbands birthday. We ordered their pie and a jacket potato for me. They brought my jacket but nothing for my husband. So when we asked where was the pie? She replied, we hadn't ordered it! She offered to take my potato away and bring it back when my husbands pie was done, and we thought that would be okay but it was like rubber potato and cheese and tasted disgusting. By which time with all the delay and ruined food my stressed husband couldn't eat the pie! Thanks for the wonderful birthday meal !!!! The cheek of it was when we complained we got a stingy £2.10 off a £32 bill !!! She even spelt our name wrong! At least the garlic bread and beer they got right.

Went along to the Charity Quiz night recently with 7 others.

Thank you once again Ben, so friendly and polite. This lad is really trying to take the fleur to better places, the quality of the food and ale is very good! Very good value for money.

We visited the Fleur on a Saturday lunch time, and me and my group loved it, we didn’t want to leave. From a quirky skittles ally (free to use also) to a wonderful lunch, we only had snacks but it was such good value for money we asked to book for a meal. The young girl who I assume was manageress was a delight, nothing was to much. She even learnt our round of drinks. Her bar man and cook - also very nice happy chatty people. We will be back!

Great pub, warm and atmospheric. We ate across the road at the George Inn, but enjoyed evening drinks here in the bar.

This is a funny little pub (definitely a 'locals pub'), but it still had a welcoming atmosphere and the two barmen on duty were very friendly. We were a group of 8 who were just going to have a drink but then decided to order bits from the menu to share; pizzas, garlic bread, salads etc. All were well cooked and tasty. We felt the prices were fair based on what we had. Not gastro pub fine dining but good pub food.

Great pub opposite, wonderful staff, great welcome can’t wait to go back for a pint and a sambuka or 3. Fabaroo!!!

Popped in for a few drinks on a Monday while staying down the road.

Very quiet when I visited. Meal fresh and enjoyable, nice pint. Went on a Thursday evening as The George across the road was fully booked and havung a Jazz night. Recommended.

Bar hermano del george y como tal no hace mucho comida en el almuerzo sólo pizzas. Pero el atractivo es que es un auténtico pub solía ser un gran local y huéspedes cervezas y juegos adecuados de pub. Un gran pub.

Alojarse en el histórico George Inn enfrente de la Fleur de Lys nos fuimos para una copa, había un callejón de bolos y un tablero de dardos que disfrutamos jugando en la historia una vez más, tales como su vecino. Gente amable.

we stopped in the pub on our second night in the PLAINE//GEORGE lnn, all the same firm, mainly for food...

Aparecimos aquí para una bebida y es sin duda uno de los más agradable y amable, uno de los pubs que he tenido el placer de estar en un lugar fabuloso.

Visited here for a birthday meal ot was very quiet and the staff were very friendly . I had a burger with chips and it was spot on and the brioche bun was fresh. Just outside the carpark there is a park for the kids which was great for afterwards .

Life in the Fleur is skittles and beer, not to mention darts and cider too. Bigger than you'd think from the outside, it has a lively atmosphere, they keep a good pint with interesting guest beers, and it does the log fire/village pub thing well without being twee.

Had seen the pub on the way to Bath. After a morning in the Christmas Market needed a quiet lunch. Pub was very quiet but service was great and the pizza is brilliant. We ordered two but could have got away with just one. Took the remainder home. Very pleased and will definitely visit again.

Accidentally ended up here due to missing our stop. Charming surroundings, open fires, friendly staff who even gave us a lift back so we could meet our friends. Over and above the call of duty we can't thank you enough!

Great place to go. Bar staff excellent.Food good. Beer great. Pool table. Dart board. Open fire.Can be very busy.

Ottima sosta in un classico pub nella campagna inglese.Delizioso il camembert al forno e il tortino di cipolle.Personalmente estremamente cortese.Assolutamente consigliato.

stopped for lunch at this charming pub in Norton St Philip. Had a tasty cheese and ham ciabatta. Welcoming staff in a charming village. If you are passing through, give them a try.

Great meal. There were a lot of people in the pub but there food came out quickly. The staff are really accommodating and had to amend the menu to your requirements. Pizzas were massive and you could even take it home in a takeaway box if you so wished. Best of all was the macaroni cheese ! It was delicious !!

Good crowd and beer selection. staff were kind. the loo was a journey through the old building and there was even a single lane bowling alley in back

Good for a quick lunch with children. Not a great choice. It's more a pub to have a drink with friends.

Great meal, good drink and pool! Atmosphere was great. Service was good. You have to order at the bar. Didn't know so don't do what we did and sit there waiting on a waiter. :)

Supper with pals took more than two hours one Saturday night due to the lack of staff and the chef having to come out to serve the food to the customers. The gluten free pizza was not good and was a quarter of the size of the other standard pizza's. When I questioned the size, I was told that was how it came packaged - so much for home cooking! In the end I was glad it was a lot smaller because when something is dry and tasteless you don't feel you are missing out. When we paid we did get an apology for the wait and in many ways that didn't matter too much as we were in such good company - its just the standard of food that let the whole experience down. Its not one I would repeat in a hurry.

left the George, crossed the street and visit the Fleur de lys, very nice pub, dark wood fixtures, dart board and the best pizza ive had in ages.

We had a meal with 10 other people for a birthday, and the food and service we hadwas excellent,would go back

Really enjoyed our meal , the food was recommended by someone and must admit was not disappointed, on the day we visited the pub was all locals but we were made very welcome . Good food and reasonable prices . Definitely would visit again next time in the area.

We visited The Fleur de Lys with a group of Swiss friends to show them what a proper English pub experience is. They were delighted. The interior decoration is superb, hand-painted signs from Wadsworth (the only brewery to still employ their own in-house sign-makers apparently), cosy tables round a selection of seating areas, skittles alley and bar games, locally-brewed beer and terrific uncomplicated food, all served promptly with a smile. What more can you ask?

We enjoyed really great pub food here and beer along with good service. A nice welcoming fire place too.

Lovely log fire. Lots of noisy young people at the bar, so our quiet supper for two was rather interrupted. But they were in good spirits!!Food was fine, nothing special, but it was a friendly place and very easy to be in.It's owned by Wadworths as is the other pub opposite (The George) and of the two we did prefer The George. More space there.

The food was great, first night had a mixture of sharing boards, salads and pizza, with family aged from 7 to 78, and all enjoyed.A few nights later just 3 adults went for dinner and a few beers, had pizza and pasta/risotto dishes and all thoroughly enjoyed.A place for relaxed eating.

Found this pub by chance. Traditional pub. Lovely host and good food. Very helpful staff who updated us on the local history.

Very pleasant staff. Tried to book the George but full. Went here. Food ok. Although we did have to send pizza back coz it was cold and burnt. They did give us another one which was lovely and took the price off the bill. Food ok but nothing really special or refined. Lovely selection of drinks and beer and staff were very pleasant.

Nipped in for a quick lunch and had a sharing platter of cold cuts which was just what we wanted. My partner had a nice glass of wine and I had a well kept Wadworth's IPA. With a nice open fire burning on a gloomy winter day it was pleasant enough but the menu is limited to pies and pizzas which is not likely to attract us back.

Great to call in at the Fleur on one of our regular trips to the area - and to see it being patronised by groups of friends, mothers with pizza-loving children, couples, drinkers and eaters! Real warm & comfy feel to the place. And the beer is always served at the perfect temperature. Looking forward to calling in again soon.

Popped in here for a few drinks one night, it was pretty standard. Nothing special but not too dear. I much preferred the feel of the Pub over the road. Fine for big groups as it is very open, but it doesn't really feel cosy or that comfortable.

The Fleur has recently undergone a change of management and also refurbishment inside - and all to the better. Under the previous management we had stopped going to our local, as had most others in the village. It lacked atmosphere and the food was completely unimaginative. Now with Tom at front of house, and under Jenny's overall management it's back to being our 'local' that we look forward to visiting. The food, all with an Italian bias is simple, cheap, but good, with the addition of some very good pie and mash dishes. The beer is always well kept and the welcome is warm. Just what an English local should be.

Having visited this pub, I don't know why more pubs don't ditch a tired pub grub menu and concentrate on doing pizza. But perhaps most places don't do pizza as well as the venerable old Fleur de Lys. I'm not even a fan of pizza but our casual New Year's Day feast of ham, mozzarella and semi -dried tomato , despite being one of the only toppings still available, was delicious. The pub itself is very old, and full of nooks and crannies to explore, but we plumped for the room with the open fire. The staff were young and efficient, although on this day at least a little prone to wandering away and leaving the bar unstaffed. I'm looking forward to sampling a bigger range of these impressive pizzas another day. Worth travelling from Corsham for.

Lovely village pub with great staff and a lovely great value menu, pizza was brilliant, but don't discount the pies either. Good ales and a lovely atmosphere.

We were staying over the road at the George Inn and were very happy to find this pub so close to hand. Lots of history, bars and rooms to discover. Very good local beers on tap. And were lucky enough to be staying long enough to try them all. People behind the bar were almost as good as the beer. And that's saying something. Would definitely take time out to go there again. And the George over the road.

Myself and my partner are staying locally and went to the flour de lys as the reviews are good-we weren't disappointed. Amazing food-try the incredible pizza, and welcoming and pleasant traditional atmosphere. If your looking for good value, peaceful, historic feel and great food-go here!

Great location. Great food. Really good pizza, mushroom and pulled pork was really nice. Good choice of drinks and bar games. Skittles and table billiards

The pizza here is excellent and is a very large portion. Matched with their house beer or excellent Pimms, it was a great experience. Would go again anytime.

We loved the restaurant, very nice place and full of local people, not just tourists! I would recommend you to have dinner here if you are staying around Norton St. Philip.

The Fleur has been nicely refurbished although retaining its earlier atmosphere, not totally knocked about. The staff was welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed our meal very much, although the menu is a bit strange and not typical 'pub grub'. Quite limited to pizza and pasta, but well cooked and different flavours to the usual run-of-the-mill stuff. Good nibbles to start (liked the crispy chorizo) and pulled pork and red onion and mushroom pizza very good. Lasagne good too. Amaretti cheesecake and rum/raisin ice cream all agreed excellent!

We've been visiting this pub regularly for well over 30 years - through all the highs and recent lows. We decided to try it again for dinner last night and were not disappointed.On entering, it was so good to be met by a hubbub of relaxed chatter, with customers sitting at the bar and at the tables throughout the pub. The dart board has also been moved into the main bar area, and really added to the traditional feel of the place.The menu was simple and limited, with traditional pub fare, but the food was very enjoyable. We had the beef lasagne and the smoked haddock and pea risotto - portion sizes were perfect, and the food was hot, tasty and well presented. We will definitely be back - especially to try the pizzas - and are so happy to be able to count on the Fleur as a trusted local once again!

At last somebody has taken the Fleur de Lys and given it the re vamp it desperately needed. It's kept it's local pub feel but with a sensitive re fit, keeping much of the traditional feel to the pub decor with it's old paintings , wooden paneling , open fires etc plus a good range of ales and wines. 3 of us went for lunch and had a sharing platter (a great mix of meats, cheese relishes), pizza (from a newly installed pizza oven) and chorizo with garlic bread, huge portions, freshly made nicely presented by a very friendly chef who brought out the food and for a chat . Really reasonable prices. The Fleur is now a great local pub worth visiting, I look forward to returning to try the smoked haddock and pea risotto.... yum

Recently refurbished I decided to treat a friend to evening meal today.We had the rissoto and a bespoke pizza which were both excellent.The real ale also went down a treat.Also a rarity nowadays a chef that not only prepared our meals but brought it to our table and seemed genuinely interested in our feedback on his food.Not your usual sullen bar staff either with a young chap who seemed to enjoy his job and offered me several tasters on the real ale before I decided which one I wanted.Tastefully decorated with amongst other things old pub signs from different Wadworth pubs made the visit even more enjoyable.Nice to see in a small pub a variety of entertainment including Bar Billiards, Darts, Skittle alley and a fruit machine.What was meant to be an hour at most turned into 3!!Couldn't help noticing the last review...They don't serve camembert??See you next week.

Booked a table for four but no need as we were the only ones dining! Definitely not a gastro pub! Food mediocre. My wife ordered a fried Camembert but there was no cheese in the batter.....was taken off of bill.Would we return? Only if management changed!

Pub under new management. Upgraded in every aspect. Food vastly improved, clean bar and clean beer glasses. Still is a true local with skittle ally but clean and friendly. Worth a visit

Ok, some may say in need of refurbishment, I say full of character. Friendly pub with limited menu but good quality food.Unpretentious and worth a visit.

Six of us were staying at the Plaine B&B and went to Fleur de Lys for an evening meal, we all selected different dishes, it was nice to have a choice of a smaller portion meal. Everyone enjoyed their selection, and our grandson who only wanted baked beans on toast had seconds !!! The staff were friendly and attentive.

Very good pub food, with fairly wide menu, promptly served, very well presented, and tasty. A very pleasant pub ambience, in genuinely characterful but neat and tidy building on the main street in this picturesque village just south of Bath. Excellent staff....cheerful and professional with the knack of being attentive to the guests' needs whilst not being intrusive. Altogether a relaxed and very comfortable setting for a meal.

Loved this pub ... The landlord was lovely, friendly and welcoming without intruding on our evening. Excellent food, well priced and served promptly, only sorry that we didn't have time for a second visit. Top marks from us and definitely going to go there again.

We were staying at the George Inn but decided to visit the Fleur de Lys one evening. We were very impressed by the welcome given, nothing was too much trouble to accommodate our varied requests at very short notice. The best Fish & Chips tasted on our weekend break!! Thanks very much to the Landlord who made up feel so welcome, will definitely visit again when in the area.

We booked a table for dinner last week for yesterday evening, Saturday 30 August. I asked if there were vegetarian options and was told that there would be vegetarian options. We arrived early and should have read the warning signs, an outisde barbeque was being set up and baloons with "21" on them were fluttering in the breeze. We were not told that on Saturday evening they were hosting a 21st birthday barbeque, which put a strain on the kitchen.We had some banter with the landlord, who was very sociable, and when presented with the menu's informed us that the ratatouile was not available, leaving only an omlette as the veggie "choice". We ordered from the waitress at 07.15pm, bemoaning the fact that the main veggie option was unavailable. She just looked at us and said nothing.We ordered drinks at this time, and they came soon after.40 minutes later we had no food, nor did anyone inform us that there would be a delay, presumably due to the catering for the 21st barbie. I asked for the drinks bill (£5.10 for a half of bitter and coke) and cancelled the order for food. The landlord came through to the bar saying that I did not need to pay for the drink, however as I intended to write a critique I insisted on paying for the drinks and we left.Why, when we booked were we not told of the 21st barbeque? We would have probably booked for another evening.Why did the waitress not keep us informed that there would be a delay?Based on our completely unbiased experience we would not recommend that this is your restaurant of choice in Norton St Phillip and I am amazed as to how it is at the No. 1 spot for this location.

Went in on a Tuesday around 19:00 Table near the entrance was full of cleaning materials. Other tables had dirty glasses on them. After ordering our food a family sat on the next table with small children and ordered their food but still their table did not get cleared. Because my wife and I have both done bar work and out of habit we cleared the tables ourselves. If it had been really busy I could have understood it but it was fairly quiet. We also waited 45 mins. for 1 steak and chips and 1 burger and chips.

Ian & Ben made us all very welcome. The menu choices were excellent with half portions on offer - much appreciated. The food was delicious - they had warned us they have a small kitchen so the food might take some time but in fact it didn't. Great people, warm ambience in a little pub that's big on character. Worth a visit!

We stayed next door at the Plaine and came in for a pint. There was another family there but otherwise it was a very quiet weeknight. The host didn't do much to engage us so it was pretty average.

Stopped mid bike-ride for a drink. A pint of draught diet coke was over £3. Unbelievable. A cup of diet coke....FOR OVER £3!! And they gave me normal coke instead of a diet.

A really old fashioned pub that's been the drinking den of the small market town for hundreds of years. With traditional ales on beer engine and a chatty landlord who has a ready wit and very welcoming manner you can't go wrong. Get him to tell you all about the history of the place, especially the legend of the rebels trooped through what is now his bar on their to be executed just beyond his car park! Cosy and homely, just the place for a good evening's talking and quaffing.

We arrived at 6.25pm having enjoyed a day out at Lacock. There were five of us and we were all very hungry! Having read the reviews, despite the remarks of the last poor review, we felt as it was Thursday, with only one other table of four waiting to eat we would not have the long wait the last review had.Our order was placed at 6.30pm having been told the chef had arrived. X1 warm chicken and bacon Caesar saladX2 ratatouille served with riceX1 chicken curry and riceX1 scampi and chipsThe other table of food arrived and we could see they had ordered fish and chips, which looked very nice indeed, and looked forward to our meals arriving.However, we waited, and waited and waited! 50 minutes later, my husband went to the bar and asked what had happened to our meals, she quickly told him that they were coming.Not once did anyone approach the table to apologise for the delay or what the problem was (if any).Nearly an hour later the food arrived....My chicken and bacon salad consisted of not many strips of chicken and bacon that were dry and chewy. There was no sign of any Parmesan shavings, and when I asked for some Parmesan, the bar lady told me they didn't have any. The pepper pots were empty (they looked full, because the residue of pepper was stuck to the inside of the glass, but they were empty). The bar lady did produce a grinder pepper mill when I bought it to her attention.The ratatouille were disappointing. My husbands curry was OK. The best meal was the scampi and chips.We did not complain because having waited so long, and so hungry, we ate our meals and left disappointed.I can not understand that this pub is number one out of three. They appear to do good fish and chips, but the wait was ridiculous for what we had ordered, and very disappointed when it came out.Our poor experience, means we will not be returning to waste our hard earned money again!

We visited the pub on Bank holiday Friday after seeing the reviews online and only being 5 minutes up the road from our accomadation. We were kept waiting for just under an hour for our food despite there only being another couple waiting on food! The food was ok pub grub certainly not worth the wait!

Ate here the 2 nights we stayed at the George Inn opposite. Friendly welcoming landlord, good basic food thank you.

We visited this pub for Sunday lunch, and were pleased to find it offered something other than roast dinners, and also that there were children's options. The landlord was very friendly and welcoming and made a fuss of our children, aged 4 and 6. The food was good, in particular the chicken and bacon salad was great. Some more children's choices would be good eg pasta, as the options were either not very healthy or small versions of options kids may not like eg chilli and curry. Having said that, the kids loved their nuggets and chips. Overall a great experience, and we hope to return
