We got there at 4, and didn’t leave until 7. The waiter recommended the fillet steak which was overcooked and bland, there was about 4 chips on the plate and it took forever for a waiter to come over. We waited over half an hour for drinks, and then over an hour for desserts which weren’t that nice to have waited that long. I don’t think I’ll return personally.

The restaurant/bar was overbooked. There was 40-60minutes delay to get a seat/table, and customers kept waiting in a long queue. There was 2 hours wait for food, and most customers kept cancelling their booking. The staff were overwhelmed and looked exhausted with know smile! The food was stone cold when they were served and this made most customers complained. It was a total fiasco and a terrible experience!!!!!

Oh dear. Booked for 7 o’clock last Saturday. Drinks received ok then order taken at 7.15 and told it will take about 30 minutes. At 8 o’clock we were then told that two of the three meals were not now available so ordered what was. At 8.30 we were informed that due to the change in our order there would now be a similar delay as the kitchen had to start again!!! With at we walked out and went to the pub in the village and got served within 20 minutes. We won’t be visiting Longbridge Mill for the foreseen future. Bye bye.

Food much improved from our visit last year. However, we were seated on the table next to the loos, which were quite whiffy. Fortunately another table opened up for us to move to and our appetite returned. One of our party was very lactose intolerant and the staff did a great job of putting his mind at ease.

We visited as a family today and we left absolutely miserable. It was a birthday celebration that we booked for my father and the service we received was diabolical. So much so that it caused the toddler in our family to become distressed and I had to walk out and leave my meal as the waiter and the manager were so unbelievably rude and refused to abide by the law being that anyone over the age of 16, accompanied by an adult can have a drink with a meal. I was asked for my ID and i provided a photo which was not enough so i accepted and when my father asked for an extra glass with our bottle of champagne for myself, they refused and said that it was due to me not having ID. We brought up the law about being over 16 with an adult and they said they don’t abide by that law here and they’ve changed it… i looked on the website and it stated that nowhere. I am almost 20 years of age with tattoos and i was holding my son the entire time. i don’t look under 18 at all, let alone 16, i also provided a picture of my ID. I have worked in hospitality long enough to know this treatment was despicable. May i add that the other two people accompanying us were not asked to provide ID, one of who was actually 17 and therefore did have a drink with her meal. I left the restaurant in tears after how i had been spoken too and saw the waiter smirking at me from behind the bar. Other than that the food was cold, and i was not able to even eat the rest of my meal. We doubt that after the shocking customer service we received today that we would receiving any money back or money off our next visit. I am considering taking this further and to social media too as I’m a reputable influencer who was excited to make my posts about my experience but i’m afraid i’m leaning more towards posting what my visit was actually like today. So disappointing as this pub used to be our family favourite. Disgraceful, to say the least.

+The young waiting staff & the barman were lovely. Roast dinners & deserts were delicious. Ate our meal at comfortable warm table. - Not a great start though, no lamb or beef available (we ordered trio roasts) no parnsips or stuffing served, had to ask & chase. Tiniest pot of gravy had to ask for more. First table we were sat down at was literally freezing, we pulled the blind down behind us but still freezing, we asked for the fire to be lit but were told no coal but we could see logs, kindling & fire lighters which no one wanted to light. + But we did then move to much warmer, comfortable table so that was fine & the servers & bar man were really nice & the food good so on balance a good visit.

Booked here for a family birthday celebration. Lovely warm and cosy building but was rather quiet when we were there, but this could be that we chose a time between lunch and dinner. 1 small gripe was in a very quiet restaurant they placed another couple on a table very close to ours, meaning the servers couldn't easily get past even though their were plenty of empty tables away from ours. The service was quick and friendly and the food was excellent and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back! 😃

There were few positives on this visit. The welcome was barely a welcome, the lady (whom I think is the manager), barely looked at us when handing over menu’s. It took a long time to get our drinks and food ordered. The food took well over an hour to actually get to our table. When it arrived 3 out of the 4 meals were lukewarm but we chose to keep the children’s meals and my wife’s as they were very hungry by this point (around 20:15). My meal was a fillet and was barely warm to touch so I asked for a meal that would be hot and match the £30 price point. It arrived again quickly, but had simply been warmed up and new fries added. No apology was given and no explanation or recompense offered. The kids were very tired at this point and so we headed home, I had to stop at the bar to pay and did not get asked how my meal was, so I decided to just call it a loss and head home rather than make a scene. All in all, a poor experience and I’ve promised myself I won’t be heading back, despite living about 7 mins away. Some customer service training is in order I think. We have been a few times and whilst it’s usually average, this fell well below even those expectations.

This was a very disappointing visit to the point I felt it necessary to apologise to my wife for bringing her. The food was mediocre at best I had the signature burger. My wife had chicken parmigiana that she said it tasted like frozen chicken from Costco. It was very cold in the dining area. Wait times were terrible, we was there 1h:45 Just to have main meals and then skipped desert just because how long it took. In the time we were there 3 different meals were sent back due to being cold. Shocked. truly shocked

Service was terribly slow. Table booked at 1815 and we didn't leave until 2125, having complained about the service time and asked for the bill when ordering desserts so that we could pay and leave quickly. Even then, I had to ask to pay the bill. The food was slow to arrive (but not ridiculously slow) but we were left with empty starter plates for 15 minutes - which was not great - and main course plates for 45 minutes - which was unacceptable. We were only asked for further drinks when the dessert order was taken. I heard two other tables complaining about service times. When my wife said how long we'd been in the restaurant the service staff said "no you haven't", effectively calling her a liar.

Beautiful pub, lovely welcoming staff, great pint of cider, but the star is the food. I can't speak for the whole menu, but if the burgers my other half and I had were any indication it's worth trying the rest of the menu... I'm picky about my burgers. Or. Well, everything really. Working in hospitality sort of gives you the burden of knowledge. Or maybe it just makes you a judgemental tosser. Six of one. The Carnarvon is a pretty pub, nicely decorated and kept in a good state - nothing falling to bits, nice and clean; through to the toilet. Staff in the middle of line cleaning a couple of the hand pull lines as we came in - while admittedly meaning that they had to deny me a pint of Proper Job, indicates they care and are attentive to beer care. Big tick in an important box for me. Aspalls instead; nice choice of cider, well kept, lovely pint. Staff seemed to be enjoying the work, they were nice to chat with and helpful. Attentive but not pushy. Perfecto. Based on all of that, and a quick glance at the reception, (which was where the handsome dark wooden panelling started in the building...) I'm going to make an educated assumption and give full marks for the rooms too, though we only ducked in for lunch, just feels unfair to ding on that while giving a nice review. I'm picky but I'm not petty. Back to the burger though. That was easily the best burger I've had in a long while, decidedly up there in terms of best burger I've ever had and my other half had essentially the same response, we both utterly wolfed it down. Absolutely deserved compliments to the chef, just outstanding. Very enjoyable visit. If that's the standard of everything but particularly that damn burger, we'll be back even though it's a bit of a trek across from Devizes.

Visited a few times now during business trips and the food is fantastic. Thoroughly recommend a meal here if you have time. Complimented by a nice selection of beers.
