Lion & Fiddle in Wiltshire

Great Nepali restaurant with very friendly efficient service. Lots of choice, reasonable prices. Eat in the restaurant or the bar

Fantastic food , service and friendliness 10/10 This place is a hidden gem ! Though the locals know and use it . I will definitely be back Thanks Chris Lilley

Very pleasant 2 day stay. The reception was warm and efficient, the room very nicely arranged, it was calm and quiet, and the equipment all worked well.

Came here last night with my Wife, Son, Nephew & Niece. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was second to none ! Highly recommended - Would recommend the mustang lamb !

Popped in for a drink after passing whilst walking the dog on holiday. Realised they have a nice restaurant. Had two dishes and some rice. Were both full of flavour and plenty of meat.

Wonderful and unusual flavours in traditional Gurkah recipes. We were a table of 10 and they coped admirably and in a friendly manner. Very smiley staff all round. Will be returning soon.

Good food good value - friendly and welcoming - authentic curries. Couldnt fault it, can’t wait to return. It’s very difficult to write one hundred words!!!!!!

The Lion and Fiddle's Gurkha Restaurant had been recommended to me and it did not disappoint. We had probably the best onion bhajis ever. When ordering the main courses we had to specify medium or hot: between us we chose Chilli Chicken and Gurkha Chicken, and both were delicious. The waiters were polite and attentive; overall the service was good. Would certainly consider another visit.

Another fantastic meal at my favourite restaurant! The food was as good as always. My Lamb mustang which on the menu says”VERY TASTY DISH” most certainly was! And never ever a chewy piece lamb unlike most restaurants. The staff are always very friendly and nothing is too much to ask for! If you’ve not been before I can highly recommend you visit, you won’t be disappointed. I’ll be back soon. Thank you for a great service 👍

We had a great time at the Lion and Fiddle. Excellent food, attentive service with a good sense of humour, a lovely waitress (name begins with a V so I hope this reaches you) and great value for 5 hungry blokes. Oh and a good choice of drinks. We’ll be back!

Fsmily meal reunion. was a very quiet sunday night. Drinks were good,food very tasty. Good veggie options. lovely service with a genuine smile.

We booked a Table for 5 - Excellent attentive service throughout the evening. Good range of drinks and food choices. The Food was absolutely delicious, very tasty indeed. Costs are up there with most Indian style restaurants nowadays and reasonable.

What was that you served up this evening , the sauce for the poppadoms was mayo, the chicken tikka was very dry and the keema Nan was some sort of purée . When I confronted your waitress after dissecting it she said it was lamb 95 quid come on your having a laugh

We came here for a meal a week ago for a Birthday party for 22 people. It was the best curry we had so far. Very pleased with the service and food. We were greeted with a warm welcome and they brought us a dessert cake for our Daughter Birthday. Also loved the authentic decorations of Nepal and their rich culture. Thank you Chef and the Lion and Fiddle Team. We will be back again.

We went here to celebrate a friend’s bday and was met by rude & indifferent service and mediocre food. The food was very overpriced for what is a very average taste. Stay away unless you want to end up with a ruined evening

If we could give a 0 star, we would. Please spend your hard-earned money somewhere else. We had the worst service in this restaurant. The "manager" (who turned out to be the son of the owner, so in the end we had no one to complain to!) was an unbelievably arrogant & rude when we questioned about a £3.95 charge on our almost £100 bill! And we were insulted by him saying "this is not McDonald's you know!" The food was ok, nothing special - overpriced for what it is. Please do yourself a favour and just eat in a real "fine-dining" restaurant and drive an extra 20 minutes to Bath.

My partner and I visited on Easter Sunday Lovely curry’s and reasonably priced Really good service will be going again Thanks

Lovely pub and great restaurant. Enjoyed a drink in the bar prior to going to the restaurant. The food was great and of really good quality and the staff were very friendly. Would highly recommend

We’ve visited a number of times always great food Valentines night tonight Again cannot fault the food, but the service not good Not that busy so expected a better service Drinks finished empty glasses but no one came back to ask if we waft more drinks or desserts or coffee Had to just go up and pay and leave Nice touch of a rose on the table but service spoilt our night to be honest In and out in less than an hour Normally a much better experience

We booked last minute and phoned a couple of times to change the time and number of people in our party. Staff were very polite and accommodating. The food was excellent, amazing flavours, freshly cooked and delivered at the right pace for our large group of 9. The service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Nice decor. Friendly staff. Heard about the food and it did not disappoint. Friends had the sharing starter which was enough for 4 people. The main courses were equally as nice, huge portions. The mustang Chicken was very hot(spicy). The Ghurka prawn & lamb were similar to a madras. My Chicken Korma was creamy and delicious. Definitely will be going back

We had heard about the curries at this pub/restaurant, so decided to give it a go. We both had the traditional Gurkha curry (be aware that 'hot' really does mean hot!), and were not disappointed. Do not order too many side dishes unless you are very hungry, as portion sizes are generous.

I had Chicken Malai starter and Gurkha chicken curry with boiled rice The starter was just a few pieces of very plain chicken that seemed like it had been microwaved. Wasn't much flavour and it wasn't a good starter at all. The Gurkha chicken main was better than the starter but nothing special really. Slightly watery. Friend had a mustang tikka chicken dish and that was nicer. Prices are sky high. Nearly £5 for Pilau rice!

Started at the bar for a quick drink before being led to our booked table . The decor in the restuarant was nice , the food was brought in hot and quickly and very delicious and the staff were very attentive . All in all a reat night at the lion and fiddle and highly recommended .

We booked here for my sons 16th birthday for a family meal, we booked for 16 people and on arrival our table was ready and we went up earlier in the day to drop off the cake. The restaurant was lovely and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The food was lovely we all had starters and mains, once we had eaten the staff brought out the cake with much care. The waiter and waitress couldn’t do enough and always kept us topped up with drinks. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely return :)

Visited on a busy Saturday evening and although very busy the staff coped very well and all the food was delivered hot and quickly.There were three of us and we all had different starters and mains. The food was delicious and we could'nt fault any of it. The service was friendly and quick. There is a very well stocked bar and the prices are reasonable.Overall a very enjoyable evening.

Very nice decor: I had scampi & chippers with a small salad. Nice food, obviously English, I must try a Nepalese curry here before too long !

The food here is fantastic. Properly flavoured and not just hot chillies. The portions are really generous. They have a great loyalty scheme for regulars. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend

I've been here a few times with friends but this was the first time visiting with my family which included 2 children. The food has always been amazing but today I took notice of the kids part of the menu. There are more many options - Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Korma and Fish Fingers. My daughter went for the Chicken Korma and rice and the portion was generous. My teenager ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala from the adult menu and I wouldn't have said there was much difference in the portion size. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was, as always, very good. Booking recommended. We booked on the day and they just about found us a table.

Excellent pub and restaurant. Service very good and the meal and wine was wonderful. Car parking is not a problem. Kitchen and food preparation is to a high standard.

Great food in the burka restaurant with friendly Nepalese owner's.The bar area has been modernised and much brighter,but maybe a little less seating.The only very annoying problem for us is we always used to go for a walk with our well behaved little dog and have a drink in the bar,but the owners have banned dogs.They say it's due to serving food in the bar area,but food has always been served in the bar area before without a problem,so I can't understand this!Apart from that it's a good local.

Enjoyed a lovely meal in a busy and popular restaurant. The Ghurkha curry was especially tasty, I had the medium spicy which was just right for me. Service was great with very attentive staff. A great treat for Saturday dinner

We use the Lion and Fiddle regularly and had dinner there last night with my wife, despite the restaurant being very busy the very helpful staff squeezed us in. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding - as normal.

We went here with family for a birthday meal and we had an amazing meal

I have been several times, mostly for group meals and loved it everytime. you will need to book as most nights it is busy.

I was part of a group of friends that came for dinner tonight, and we all ordered different Nepalese curries. We were slightly concerned when they all came out very quickly (potentially a stock pot that would all taste the same as in other local curry places), but they were actually all very individually tasty and full of flavour. Excellent breads and rices, and very friendly efficient service. Really look forward to returning again.

Our first visit and we had a warm welcome.We were spoit for choice from the Nepalese menu and we were pleased with the quality of food and service.Good disabled parking and wheelchair access and although we live 30miles away we will certainly revisit as this atmospheric restaurant would be well worth the trip.

The food was delicious, great service and attentive. The best food my family and I have eaten in a long time. I really can't fault it.

We attended for an evening meal along with a wheelchaired member of our group. The environment is very pleasant - the Restaurant was pretty rammed so I was very pleased we'd reserved. The orders were quicly taken although I think the bar order was lost somewhere since it took longer than is acceptable for drinks to arrive. Starters and main courses delivered in a reasonable time given how very busy it was. Clear views into the kitchen as the Chefs worked to keep the meals flowing.

My wife comes from the town where the Gurkhas were based and there was an excellent Nepalese restaurant there that I have been missing for 10 years since moving to Wiltshire.

This former public house in Hilperton, just outside Trowbridge, is a hidden gem.

Had the Lion & Fiddle recommended for lunch so decided to give it a try. Bar one person the bar was empty where we ate so atmosphere was low. Bar choice on larger was very good and the service was friendly and polite. Now to the food, the Gurkha chicken was very flavoursome and plenty of it, the Cajun chicken was a large tasty dish could do with some sauce. The gammon was thin and over cooked as was the fish batter over cooked came out very dark brown. I’m guessing from this experience the Gurkha main restaurant food is good, may give that a try but not the lunch menu.

Went in for a take away. Takes a while for them to cook it (it's good food not fast food!). Sat in the bar while waiting (which is a good part of the experience for me). Not a regular but it's quite friendly in there and they serve real ale! Nice to see Doom Bar on tap. Food is excellent good flavours much better than most curry houses I can think of.

Having lived in trowbridge for ten years I’ve never thought about going to the lion and fiddle in hilperton. It’s now been taken over by the Gurkhas and I can honestly say it’s one of my favourite meals ever and I’ve travelled the world! Fabulous spices which add flavour and not just heat. The onion Bhaji was light and not greasy and as a vegetarian my two sides which they recommended were fabulous and plentiful! Lovely people too and this is a happy Eden gem!

Lovely meal - food was very good. Starter and main courses and drinks £30pp. Gurkha chicken was lovely as was Mustang Chicken.

Very unwelcoming & an awkward seating arrangement to boot. Even the previous landlord who was useless & disinterested managed to create a friendlier atmosphere. We gave it a go a few times after the refurb as it’s our local, however it just feels as if you’re not welcome. Also the mob at the bar look at you like you’ve just burst into their home uninvited! The only time we were acknowledged was when we popped in after walking the dog. We were chased straight out by the owner with flailing arms & shouts of “dogs aren’t allowed anymore” by the mob at the bar!! It’s as far from being a county pub as you could get.

Visited as a couple and saw that the premises and ambience were lovely....immaculate and clean. Both ordered different meals and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. Service was excellent. Will definitely return!

We went here on a Friday evening with friends. Nice choice on menu I chose momos to start and they were freshly made and delicious. Nice choice of curries which we all had with naan breads. Lovely fresh food. Really enjoyed it and no service charge added.

If you enjoy Indian food then go one better with Nepalese. Very good food, pleasant surroundings and efficient service. Have now been twice as enjoyed first time went back for a second go. Will go again and would recommend it. One warning "Hot" means "Hot"

Cant fault the food but having been there quite a few times with clients we noticed the portions have since decreased in size a fair bit. We invited some friends over to experience the food at the L&F; restaurant which they enjoyed but when we got the bill they added an extra 10% on and said we had to pay it. We strongly protested and were told that they had just introduced the service charge (probably to pay for all the refurbishments in the bar area) and that it was stated on the menu. When looking at menu's you are only looking at what you want to eat. The owner eventually knocked the service charge of the bill with reluctance and said you will have to pay it next time, to which we replied 'there will be no next time' as we will not return and will not now recommend or take further clients or friends there. So check your bill before you hand over the credit card or cash because add on service charges are not mandatory to pay in this country

The attention to detail was unbelievable. The staff were both friendly and professional. Food was excellent. Overall a fantastic day enhanced by Ratna and the team. Treated like family. 5 star day.

Hilperton is just on the outskirts of Trowbridge ,the county town of Wiltshire. Not necessarily the sort of place you would expect to find a really good Nepali restaurant but here it is . A smart pub with good beers, a car park that's easy to use, an easy to find location ,B & B available at reasonable prices and to top it all a great Nepali restaurant. Excellent food well presented by helpful staff in a pleasant setting.

The food was amazing but when we looked at the title presumed that was pub food but instead we get surprised with amazing Indian meals. The service pretty quick, plenty of food and good laughs at this place.

A nice traditional place in a village. Very friendly staff, comfortable room, great breakfast to order and a fantastic Nepalese restaurant. Close enough to Bath and the Western coast and far enough from traffic. A great place to stay for a relaxing weekend in the English countryside!
