Jenny's Restaurant in Wiltshire

Wow. What a lovely find. I will definitely go back again and again. Spacious restaurant. Really friendly staff and owners. Beautiful setting next to the river flowing past. I’m so very delighted to have found Jenny’s Bistro. 5 stars.

Friendly staff. I ordered an omelette. It was huge and very tasty. I didn’t realise it would come with chips and salad. It’s also very accessible and I’m in a wheelchair. Place was clean. The cakes section looked very yummy. One for another day.

I love seeing local businesses not only survive but thrive and to see jennys bistro expand to a bigger premises and stay busy fills my heart with joy, my fiancée and I went in for breakfast recently and it was very good although quite expensive.

Not been here before, thought we would give it a go, it wasn’t good, our orders were wrong and rather than apologise and sort it, the servers were aggressive and rude, they said it was our mistake, they brought our missing items out 5 mins later, the food was ok but expensive for the quality. Cosy club and Boston are the same price but much better quality and service. Won’t be back.

Great spot for breakfast choose your own means you can have all your favourites including fried bread good service freshly cooked food and sensible prices

Good food at a reasonable price. Can't go wrong.

Great service and great food on a very busy Saturday

Me and my son had a lovely breakfast staff are super friendly and helpful

Had a lovely time with the gang!

Welcoming atmosphere, very nice cappuccino, had a Full English very well cooked with quality ingredients . A pleasurable experience will.be back A+++

Grabbed a quick lunch there, service was fast, portions big and well presented, staff is very friendly. No fuss food, we ordered kids chicken nuggets, special burger and Cypriot salad. Great value for money. Thank you

When here today, ordered the home made farmhouse burger which came out and definitely wasn't home made, tasted just like a burger van burger, cheap and frozen. Quite disappointed considering it said home made gourmet burger! I mentioned it and was told it was home made haha definitely not. Basically all frozen food. We eat it as we were hungry and out all day it was ok but just misleading and felt we were conned, charging high prices for burger van food! Won't be back here again. Not to mention £3.20 for a can of Rio, bit of a joke!

Great cafe, lovely staff, speedy & efficient. Always have the Full English fry up...

Such great value and terrific food, served quickly and piping hot.

First time I ate there , very happy with everything we ordered, good food, good service will definitely be going again

My dad went today. Started to eat his breakfast, went to the toilet, when he came back they had cleared it all up. Needless to say he just left. Terrible service.

Please when you cook sausages please do not deep fry,makes skins hard. You say Cumberland sausage,did not resemble or taste like Cumberland.

Very tasty and fresh food, friendly service, dish served quickly. The only minus is the completely wrong music, which does not fit the place where the average age is 60+. Unfortunately, I subtract one star and one more for the prices, which should be 20% lower. In general, I sincerely recommend it!

Great food, great service and amazing coffee!! Give it a go!

Fantastic place and good prices

Extremely busy when we went on a Saturday lunchtime. Our first time and everyone's food looked good. It was quick turnover but our table was cleaned and order taken quickly. Food arrived promptly and piping hot . Staff attentive and polite. Based on this experience very happy to return when we visit Salisbury.

Wonderful bistro/cafe. We've been a few times and each time service was great and the food was amazing. Need to leave room for the wonderful looking deserts. Next time maybe.

Went for lunch. Partner had Cheese and ham panini. I ordered BLT. Wow what Was served was unbelievable It was a bacon sandwich With a bit of salad on side Of plate. They took it away Toasted bread an still tried to claim it was a BLT. Won't be going back.

We went here early on Sunday for breakfast with the dogs, daughter and the mum in law. We all had a wonderful experience. Top draw food, friendly service and the place is beautiful. We will be back for more! Thank you everyone at Jenny's, and well done.

The Jennys breakfast was delicious, quality ingredients make a big difference. The tea and the flat white were decent. The real Orange juice was so good I’m craving it now. Bonus we can take the dogs in too. My new favourite breakfast joint

Rude staff. £10 min on card and overpriced

First rate in every respect: friendly and efficient staff, food appeared promptly and piping hot and was delicious. Reasonably priced for the quality and the warm and pleasant atmosphere. Will certainly come again - our new go-to lunchtime eatery in Salisbury. Ignore the small number of poor reviews; there are a lot of very unreasonable people out there! (NB we have no connection with this business other than as customers)

First time at New Jenny’s today with a friend - I was so pleased we made the right choice to visit. We both enjoyed our main meal followed by homemade desserts- absolutely delicious 😋 Staff friendly and attentive. Superb! Thank you, shall visit again..

Went here for late lunch around 1-2p last Friday and enjoyed it. Service was good and attentive staff (girl with blonde hair and braided pigtails was very nice to us). Reading the reviews and its all mixed but cant blame staff or waiting hours if you come in on a rush hour. Food was served on time, big serving for a cheap price and their steak and kidney pie is great. Ordered the lamb chops and very happy with the serving. Will definitely recommend for anyone visiting Salisbury.

Not the worst I've ever been but waitress got order wrong for all of us. Offered to replace and take it back even after saying what we ordered originally wasnt available anymore yet heard the table behind us order it no problem , at this point as the wait wasnt the shortest and we where in a time limit before one of was at work we just wanted to eat. Think the place could be really good If waitress are trained a bit more and plate not over filled with veg.

Lovely panini, chips and salad, would recommend, friendly and helpful staff

Just a cappuccino had but a very nice cappuccino it was. Friendly staff and table service too. What a rare service for a cafe.

For such a thin slice of cake £5.50 is ridiculous. Even with all the costs to sustain a place like this, wages and profit, £110 for a full cake (20 slices) that tastes exactly like a boxed Tesco is way too expensive. Waiting time was long and I’ve seen a guy behind the counter handling salad with bare hands, stuffing it on a sandwich, vinyl glove will be safer.

Two Coffees, two Baklava Cakes. Delicious. Enough said!

Great, bristro style cafe serving food all day. Go for the all day breakfast. Although there is an extensive menu with table service.

Order pie, mash and gravy. Turned up with chips (no great issue, mistakes happen). They took meal and away returned with same chips - said no mash available. So I asked if they would substiite the chips for a jacket potato and told that would be an extra £4. Really!? Jenny's used to be good value when in their old location, now just want to rip off customers. I won't be back.

We’ve been eating in Jenny’s for years both in the original and this new restaurant and always had the best service until today. I admit it was very busy but from the moment we entered it was painful. B gore we even got a menu 3 waiting persons asked if we were ready to order, finally a young girl took our order poached eggs on toast with two extra bacon @ £2+ a rasher a traditional breakfast with extra an extra egg and bread and butter with a cup of tea. 25 mins later the tea turned up then we 15 mins after we had to asked when our food would arrive to be told we’d have to wait as they were busy! When the food finally arrived it wasn’t what was ordered instead of poached eggs they were hard boiled and the traditional ( egg bacon sausages beans and chips) had mushrooms instead of chips when we said it wasn’t right the girl took it back tipped of the mushrooms leaving the juices behind and returned it still without chips but this time with the bread and butter when we told her again that this was still wrong she said that this was what we ordered which was wrong at first his point we’d had enough and went to leave I did go to the counter and said we would not be paying and I hope they get reimbursed by the waiting girls wage’s totally unprofessional and unexceptional

Really not an enjoyable breakfast! The front door was kept open making it quit cold. The order was messed up, my wife asked for no beans and was offered mushrooms instead..... neither turned up. The bacon was tough and over cooked. The meal looked very meagre on a large plate and we overheard othe customers saying "they only take cash" which a waitress confirmed and added they are always having trouble with their WiFi. We had no cash, at least not the £25 for 2 teas and 2 breakfasts. The final straw came with a £30 bill. .. when confronted the waitress said we must have another tables bill, which coincidentally also had ordered 'no beans'. It makes you wonder doesn't it! This is a totally honest and accurate review.

Disappointing! A note for the chef…a mushroom burger is a burger made from mushrooms! Not beef! And I don’t expect to be shouted at. Extremely rude, and ill mannered. A woman staff member that was also very rude, used the toilet and didn’t even wash her hands. The toilet was still flushing when she opened the door, and no hand dryer going. Won’t be returning. It’s a shame because it looks like a lot of money has been spent to create the new Jenny’s

Well, what can I say? I ordered a mushroom burger, not a Beef Burger with mushroom. I wasn’t expected to be verbally abused by a woman, (took her to a supervisor) she tried to put the plate down in front of me again, and I stopped her. Then a bearded chef got really cross, and said that I’d ordered a burger and that’s what I got. I said I ordered a mushroom burger, and nowhere on the menu did it say beef with mushroom. I don’t eat meat so really didn’t want it. But the plate was greasy underneath, when I picked it up, it almost slipped out of my hand. Anyway I just ordered a JP with cheese, but the salad was practically non existent. The final straw came when the 1st woman came out of the toilet and didn’t even wash her hands. Ugh! No drier and the flush was still going when I went in. It’s a shame because the surroundings are really nice, and several staff were fine, but we will not be going there again.

Lovely menu choices, staff are mostly friendly. Food took over 45 minutes to arrive (it was a Monday afternoon) which is a shame however when it did arrive we were very impressed by portion sizes and taste. Was all delicious and generous amounts.

Very good food, I had one of the breakfasts (beans, tomatoes, bacon, mushroom, sausage, scrambled eggs and toast), fairly priced (around the £11.00 mark). They also do a good selection of cakes and beverages. Good service from the friendly staff. Atmosphere wise it doesn't have a lot of ambience, but then it is more of a cafe, than a restaurant. Jenny's is very popular, all the tables were in use by the time we left, and seems to be a favourite in Salisbury.

Excellent service, staff very attentive, made very welcome, food delicious. Ordered the chops with mushrooms, peas grilled tomatoes and chips, portion was large, asked for a box to take away 2 chops which I could not eat, this was provided willingly. My strawberry refresher( smoothie). was also tasty This meal would provide 2 people with a good lunch. I highly recommend eating at Jenny,s . The bistro also sell cakes&cheesecake. Will try next time I visit. Lyn

There will be two types of review here. One type relates to the 'old' Jennys which was superb. A proper cafe serving great food. Since moving a week or two ago a couple of doors down to much bigger premises, it is pretty awful. A complete lack of training or management puts the serving staff in an awful position but the food is now just bad, that's if you manage to get anything as orders take anincredible amount of time to arrive or are simply forgotten about. Hopefully this is just a transition thing but I'm not going back anytime soon. Having read the response to my review by the 'owner' I am stunned. The food was bad because it was made badly. Jennys isn't a new business and blaming everything on moving premises is pretty poor. The pancakes were stale, the syrup congealed and our orders were literally forgotten. Do not tell me I'm being unfair. I wish Jennys all the best but it was truly awful and they will go out of business if they continue like this.

Well I say😁 First time in the New Jenny's location Salisbury, and it was really nice and spacious,the service was very fast and the food super yummy, I had a cheese burger and my wife the chicken burger, it was great, the staff are very friendly and welcoming 😄

Nice breakfast however was disappointed that there was no gluten free bread. In this day and age it’s so much easier to cater for allergies, and I feel it would really benefit the business to do so and reach a wider audience. Would like to return but only if more gluten free options than just omelette

I can’t register any of the above stars having not tasting the food, after waiting over 30 minutes and asking three members of staff why the wait and seeing other people coming in after us and getting their food we decide to up and leave. When we first arrived we were served immediately order tea and our food. The tea came quick which was not very nice two tea pots but very large glass cups. We did offer to pay for the tea but they waived that. I would not go back and would say that one member of staff was quite rude when asked about the wait she said “how do I know I’m not cooking it “ not very user friendly.

We didn't expect fast food, but this was slow by any standards. There were plenty of staff but it seemed that there was not enough cooking space for the number of tables/customers ordering. Although we thought we made our order clear and the waitress made careful note if it, we did not receive what we ordered. By that time we were just glad some food had arrived! Shan't be repeating our visit here.

Great freshly cooked food. Large restaurant newly refurbished very wide automatic doors for wheelchairs new toilets. Will definitely return

The service was fine, I had a hot chocolate, which the menu said was £3.50. My husband had a mint tea which was £4 , expense for a tea bag. Anyway went to pay and they charged £4.50 for hot chocolate, when we challenged it, we were told the price was wrong on the menu . How many more items do they charge more for? Won’t go there again as wouldn’t trust them now. Very disappointed ☹️

Ordered 4 items. 3 of them were wrong. We went here the week it opened and it was equally poor service but we put that down to it being in new premises. These issues should have been sorted by now. Seems to be a lot of people getting the wrong things. They tried to deliver stuff we hadn't ordered (got wrong table number) a couple of times while we were in there. Staff seem to be confused and spending a lot of time correcting mistakes. Even when I went to pay they had made mistakes in what we had ordered. I had to tell them what we had. Won't be rushing back.

Went on opening day for breakfast it was great they haven't lost their friendly service

Great new location, just a few doors down, same great food.

At £10.25 for a full English, I was expecting good quality, and quantity, 1 fried egg, 2 burnt cheap rashers of bacon a pot of beans, and (2 cheap straight sausages poor quality not Cumberland as advertised) and 2 pieces of margarine on toast. The breakfast as a whole was like a €3 lads holiday fry up in Benidoorm, service was good tho, lovely venue and quick with the food better quality ingredients and more items would score higher

Absolutely awful service. Asked for chips, beans, one egg and fried bread. Only fried bread arrived. Slow Service and no apology. Prices are high for what appears to be a works canteen. Could be teething problem chef asked for no more orders to be taken about 2 pm on a Saturday . We will not be returning

This place has moved to bigger premises recently and changed its name to Jenny's Cafe Bistro. It used to be a basic cafe serving Full English, bacon rolls etc .. With the new name and new premises we thought it might have gone a bit more upmarket so gave it a go. Looking at the menu I'm confused why they are calling themselves a bistro or even having that in the name. The menu is a cafe menu with a couple of more unusual dishes. We went for the Mediterranean Breakfast which was for sharing. It also included tea or coffee. When we ordered my partner wanted a cappuccino so we asked if that was included in the price. Yes, any tea or coffee, we were told. When it arrived the breakfast wasn't the same as described in the menu. They had substituted feta cheese for the haloumi and there was no sourdough toast or honey. I asked the waitress about this. She returned with a single slice of white bread. Bearing in mind this is a sharing dish. I then asked another waitress about the fact it wasn't haloumi norcwqs it sourdough toast. She had no idea but got the owner to talk to us. I again explained we had no haloumi. His reaction was, " We ran out" No apology not telling us before we got the food or offer to reduce the bill. I then mentioned the white toast and no honey. "You want sourdough?" he asked, as if I was making a special request rather than asking for what I ordered. He disappeared and then a single slice of sourdough toast was delivered. There was still no honey. At this point I gave up. What we had was delicious but I have to question the service and whether they can deliver what you order. The final annoyance was when u paid the bill and got charged extra for the coffee. By this point I couldn't be bothered having another debate so just paid and left. Doubt I will be returning. Positives: food was good; new decor was nice; very accessible, nice smooth floors with plenty of space to manoeuvre a wheelchair; disabled toilets a good size (although the door didn't lock). Negatives: didn't get what we ordered; given a few chances to resolve the issue only partly resolved. When it arrived it looked different to what the menu said

Congrats on the move , lovely view on the river . Fab cappuccinos (proper hot) and excellent Baklava.

We called in for lunch while visiting Salisbury. We were told it was table service, so sat down. Ten minutes later no one had bothered to take our order, after two waitresses had consistently ignored us. We got up and left and had lunch elsewhere.

UPDATE 22nd October - Jenny's currently shut due to moving 2 doors along. Bit annoying that there was no warning as we come here fairly regularly. Thought it would help to post a warning to others. No idea when it's reopening. Great food, good value, great coffee, polite and swift service. It's basic, but reliable and you don't get that very often nowadays. Give it a try.

Clean surroundings, excellent food with large selection and refreshing drink,s, attentive service with value for money food.

When you visit legacy cities like Salisbury with their storied histories, fabled architecture and these days multiple chain eateries it’s easy to miss the local cafe offering simple lunchtime fare at reasonable prices. Jenny’s is a good example. Welcoming waiting staff and an open kitchen. Recommended!

One of the best little spots in Salisbury. The latte is one of the tastiest in town, and the Eggs Royale was cooked perfectly, with plenty of sauce. Service was great as well.

Turned up near to closing time. Staff were very helpful and accomodating. Lovely meal. Recommend Jenny's. Good quality, service and friendly staff.

Always a pleasure to visit here, great food with a smile at reasonable prices.

Food was nice and the price was pretty reasonable

All I shall say, is don't get the cod and chips. 12.50£ at time we went. The cod was supposed to be lightly breadcrumbs but it was a slab of overcooked batter with hardly any cod inside, and what was in there didn't add up to much! Chips were ok, peas were ok. Salad was heavily covered in a salad oil. The tea wasn't bad, well it was hot anyway. Don't think I would go again. Sorry guys. 3/10 for trying.

Nice warm, friendly atmosphere 👌

Excellent place to get a breakfast! Service was fast and friendly, and food was delightful.

Had a lovely lunch, reasonable priced .

Nice clean affordable friendly staff.

Expensive for what you get. Surly waiting staff. Plenty of better places to eat elsewhere in the town.

I am not sure if the chefs are new or just inexperienced, I ate there last summer a few times and was happy with the food and the staff were friendly. Now the staff are surly and the food was awful. Tasteless and ridiculously overpriced. For two breakfasts, an apple juice and glass of milk, it was just over £30.

£27 for 2 breakfast!!!!!!!then short changed by £10....CCTV checked and money returned without any apology what so ever......walked out NEVER to return!!!!!!

Has become very expensive, great pity, chips now £5.00

Incorrect food delivered. Mediocre preparation, loads of rind still left on the bacon. Shockingly small amount of food for the price. Would not order again.

chairs are bit used but food is good, fish and chips are crispy, they put mint sauce in the salad btw. nice Christmas tree at Christmas

Very good. Would use again when visiting Salisbury

I really like this cafe. The food is fresh and tasty. The staff are super friendly, and it's always beautifully warm and clean. A good cafe choice.

Went for a basic English Breakfast there a few days ago. Was average at best. Cost was an absolute shocker!! £26 for 2 Breakfasts that I could have knocked up myself for c£5. Got charged an extra £1 for asking for poached eggs instead of fried. Only reason I didn’t walk-out was because I was with a fit bird and didn’t have any post-nut clarity :(

Just had breakfast here and got ripped off. £22.50 for 2 people is beyond a joke. Paid far less in central London for far better food.

We popped in for a Sunday morning breakfast. Had a mixed grill breakfast which cost £12.90. No toast. Tea was an extra £2.25 and coffee £3. The cheapest, low quality ingredients were used which was terribly disappointing. Over £30 for a fry up is outrageous. The only positive was that it was piping hot. We both left with a horrible greasy residue in our mouths. Improve the quality of ingredients (especially the sausages and burger patty which were clearly mass catering pack style 🤢) and it might have been worthwhile. We will not return. Back to Harvester which includes everything and unlimited tea and coffee. AVOID.

Good service, good atmosphere and great food. Can't fault it

I visited today with one of my friends. I had lamb chops and my friend had one of the light breakfasts we both loved how tasty and delicious it was. The staff were also very nice and polite. I will definitely be visiting again.

My family and I have used this little cafe so many times over the past few years, it's our go to meeting place as everyone knows where it is! BUT after eating in there last Friday I became very ill, I suspect the hollandaise sauce was dodgy. Really good place to meet for coffee BUT the food quality has dropped massively. To be honest I'm not sure if I'll return.

Good place for a coffee and food ..very nice

Simple and unpretentious. Good menu, happy service.

Haven't been to Jenny's for a long while but the standard of food and service remains excellent 🌟

We have been regular customers at Jenny's for many years up until today. We always have the same every time which is double egg and chips. This week we could not eat the chips as they were hard and over cooked. When I complained we were told it was because of the potatoes. What a load of rubbish. Normally food was cooked fresh but not anymore. Over the past couple of months we have noticed the price has gone up which I think is to be expected. However the quality of the food has gone down and they appear not to be able to cook things properly. It appears that they have changed the cooks. As a result we will NEVER go there again.

Delicious food and good service

Great helpful service and good value for money

Popped in while at Salisbury Market, smoothies were delicious

Good food, good price, great staff - helpful and fun

Great little cafe, food is brilliant, staff lovely and great prices. Always go there

Quality food, enjoyed every time I’ve been in . The breakfast is my favourite, served hot and in time. Definitely best cafe in town

Friendly staff and hot cooked food yummy 😋

Emily friendly excellent service and food tasty not oily

The bubble and squeak was terrible and plaice was in breadcrumbs far to over done and the fillet was so thin there was hardly any fish. Good service tho .

Always brilliant. Staff are helpful and friendly and the food is always cooked brilliantly.

Lovely food and staff very helpful.

Very good service and a nice coffee
