MARKET INN in Wiltshire

Wonderful service and the first pub that I have encountered In salisbury which I’m sure our foreign visitors will welcome and the. Staff are certainly making an effort to make customers feel welcome well done 👌

We booked lunch and when we arrived the pub had about 8 people in it, no music or atmosphere and the two poor girls behind the bar were so embarrassed. We asked them why it was so quiet and they said they had lost the music licence so couldn’t play it. They offered us a table upstairs but we would be the only people up there! In the end they recommended another pub to eat at and we cancelled our booking.

Booked online & asked to be seated upstairs. Arrived to find we had been allocated a table downstairs but was told we could choose a table upstairs, which only had 3 tables occupied. Not sure why they had ignored what we requested but hey ho. Had to order food from the bar downstairs. One person ordered mixed grill but was told the didn’t have enough bits to make up a mixed grill! We ordered food: Steak - fine Mushroom Wellington pie - nice (veg overdone but hot) Hunters chicken - overcooked Portions were small. Wine choice basic. We didn’t have enough cutlery & had to ask for it. We didn’t have enough serviettes & had to ask for them. Apart from putting plates on the table there was no service. Not one smile anywhere. No one asked if the food was ok. We were looking at desserts when a member of staff came up & asked if we were looking at desserts. We said, yes. He said don’t bother, the kitchen is closed!!! Literally like that, no apology. It wasn’t even 8.30 & no one had mentioned the kitchen was closing early - 22/12 (Friday before Xmas). It would have taken nothing to come & ask if we planned dessert BEFORE the kitchen closed. Especially as they were not very busy. Chairs were uncomfortable and the atmosphere really poor. No Xmas feel at all. Next door was absolutely heaving (we hadn’t been able to get a table) but The Market Inn was, let’s say, not. I can see why. Staff need some customer service training. Place needs a make over. We would not return. Shame as a lovely old building.

Decided on this place for a spot of lunch with my other half whilst out Christmas shopping and was completely disappointed! The woman behind the bar was rude and quite obviously didn’t want to be there! Ordered food and when it arrived we were beyond shocked! I ordered the lasagna only for it to turn up looking like soup and when I questioned the waiter on why it was swimming in water he told me that it was ment to be like that! Absolutely vile needless to say it wasn’t eaten! Definitely won’t be back!

Booked a table and found they never had our booking but managed to get a table. Order our food and drink via the app, had to opt for a 2nd choice as my first was not available. Waiter came out and told me they never had my 2nd choice so had to opt for something else of the same value. Food arrived but some of the order was missing and no staff around to complain. A massive chest freezer was clearly visible with the chef coming out to grab food now and then. I would not recommend eating here but a great place to grab a drink. A pity as it looked like such a nice place

Warm and great atmosphere. One of favourite pubs. Bar staff lovely and have a laugh. Bringing old into the new 5⭐️. Definitely return

Good lunch with friendly service from Darcie. Had the fish and chips very tasty and good price. Good atmosphere and clean and tidy.

Came into the market Monday evening with a couple of friends for a drink. Really great atmosphere and looking very festive. Only had drinks but the staff really friendly and knowledgeable about all the drinks on offer. I had the nicest doombar you could ever want

A very good lunch excellent fish and chips and chorizo and chicken pie was very nice. Darcie was really efficient and helpful.

Visited on a Sunday lunchtime with my family. Lovely roast and reasonably priced at around £12 and was a big portion. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful and will certainly be returning when I am next in the area on a Sunday. You can also get a burger and drink combo for around £10 which almost rivals spoons and is a far nicer atmosphere.

Today we went to this pub for lunch, when we arrived the bartender was on her mobile phone, she lifted her index finger and said “one minute”. From the call I can presume that the pm staff had cancelled their shift and she now had to work. The bartender, when finished her call said “what do you want” I placed my order. The bartender was rude, appeared angry and annoyed, very tense environment. The bartender was very rude to me and my family. She barely spoke to me and grunted as a reply. I asked her if she could pour another coke as the mix tasted wrong, she responded in a rude manner. I’ve never experienced such a tense, angry bartender. We initially went there to eat and drink but we left very shortly after arriving. You company missed out on £150 lunch bill due to your unfriendly and unprofessional staff! Will never return!

My family and I went to the market inn for lunch, we were met by a very rude woman who seemed annoyed to have to take our order as she was on her phone , we got our drinks and asked her to wipe our table as it was dirty, she never did it and her attitude made us feel unwelcome so we left, the pub was empty so it wasn’t like she had anything else to do!

Came here on Tuesday, the place is in a lovely place but because it was raining everywhere was empty. The two girls that were working were both lovely and very chatty, it seems like they have been working everyday from what they were saying but they were so nice and lovely that you couldn't tell they were probably tired. Next time we are in Salisbury we will definitely return if we are as welcome as we were this time round.

Drinks great price. Come here a couple times a month and Darcie is always great chat with. Always smiling and positive.

Great bar staff. Quick service. Reasonable prices. Had some people kicking off but situation was handled in an effective way. Highly recommended

Great for friends and family, and a go to place for work drinks out. Bar staff are super helpful. Definitely would recommend, dog friendly!

Good food and beer in a traditional pub atmosphere Staff made you feel welcome Will go back there soon Mike&Cheryl

We came here for dinner but were unfortunately very disappointed with the food. We originally asked for pie of the day but apparently all 3 of the pies listed on the menu were unavailable. We then both settled on seafood pie which was described as...

A great place with brilliant pub atmosphere well done Charlie, will return soon and bring all the family and friends

went for lunch and chose the lunch menu, only ordered two sandwiches which the staff forgot to bring out they then brought out the wrong sandwich for one of us, not even an apology. Tasted okay but wont be going here for lunch again, appreciate...

I can’t rate this place highly enough, we had our wedding reception there and staff were absolutely amazing. The highest praise goes to the area manager that made our night perfect and food and drinks were amazing, thank you for making it such an amazing...

Strange experience! Cannot question the food, very nice and well presented. Unfortunately I cannot say the same about the service. We ordered at the bar as couldn’t get the app to work. Staff member was very nice but seemed to get a little confused when...

Sunday lunch ? No roast potatoes - no pork had to wait over an hour for good - waiter agreed it wasn’t a good experience - no roast potatoes, no pork , no parsnips

I visited this place today with my family and what an unpleasant experience it was. First of all the glasses we were given for our drinks were dirty, I returned these only to get another set of unclean glasses in return, so we drank out...

Excellent atmosphere, great food. Will definitely return for more. Fantastic view of the city centre.

Came today for Sunday lunch. Absolutely wonderful meal, such generous helping of roast dinner. Loved the setting and the staff were wonderful, especially Denym who was so helpful and friendly

It's not expensive...... And that shows in the quality of the food. The staff were polite enough when I spoke to them, but they gave the impression that they really couldn't be bothered. We had the sharing platter which was mostly ok, but everything was...

Cool casual night after our trip up to Stonehenge and before taking the train back to London. Really enjoyed sitting outside through sunset. Dan and Gilliam were great hosts, joking with my wife when she tried to select a proper British pint for this American...

Came in here for some food for a family meal was greeted with a smile by the lovely staff members. The food was great and could not complain with service time. Great quality of food and very worth the money. Would recommend the half duck...

Great staff, very friendly. Only came in for a few pints but the bar staff made me feel very welcome.

went in for lunch on the spur of the moment. Clean, welcoming and comfortable . No problems when we asked for the gluten free menu. Chose a chicken and bacon salad. It was one of the best salads I have been served for a very...

One of the worst meals we've had in a long time. Sitting outside, drenched in second-hand cigarette smoke, surrounded by dirty plates and glasses which we cleared onto nearby tables. Disinterested staff in the bar took the order and we then waited and waited and...

Absolute joke. 50 minute wait for food due to "only 1 chef working" well how about informing people on their hour lunch break that's the case. Ridiculous

Came in for some cocktails we were served by gillan we got the strawberry daiquiris and they were really good. Amazing service would definitely recommend for the 2 for 1 cocktails

Stopped by on a Friday evening for a bite to eat, it was our first time eating here and we were definitely not disappointed. Amongst the many options along the Ox Row strip off the Market Square this lovely Pub/Restaurant is a place not to...

This is really a great place for lunch. Delicious food at good price, clean and comfortable environment, and very friendly staff with great customer service. Thank you very much Dan and Talia for your amazing service!

We had a meal with friends. It was really busy, and the staff worked really hard, but they just didn’t have enough staff on. The food was very slow (over an hour) and we needed to remind them to bring out the next course. The...

Fantastic roast with plenty of food and great service. Nice atmosphere inside and out. We highly recommend.

Birthday drinks on a Friday night- the team were fab. We were the annoying people that ordered hundreds of cocktails! But Sam and Gillian were lovely, they even carried the drinks out to us :) thanks guys!

Amazing pub fantastic service cannot recommend enough! Come here for brilliant food great drinks and lovely staff.

What a wonderful find. Had a walk through Salisbury and stopped for lunch. The food was great and the chef Paige came out to ask how our food was which was a lovely touch.

What a lovely little place in the square.Staff were friendly and helpful nothing to much trouble.had a little lunch and drinks with a few friends after wondering around salisbury.food hit he spot had one of the burgers came out in good time. Definitely returning good...

Staff friendly and helpful but the food let it down. The cod was almost non-existent, with the batter really thick and overcooked. The onion rings were hard and overcooked too. Outside is an ice place to be but inside is dark and gloomy and the...

Popped in here with some few friends we saw they had 2 for 1 cocktails. The lady behind the bar was really nice and explained the cocktail menu. The cocktails were not premixed and started from £10.49 for 2!! Would recommend the Long Island Iced...

Amazing little boozer, great outdoor space for the kids and to catch rays 😎 Traditional pub grub servers well and at good value.

Went here today for lunch food great, service with a smile our waiter was Aaron lovely bloke couldn't do enough. Definitely going back.

We booked a table to take the mother out for mothers day at the market inn. Upon arrival we was welcomed by the lovely waiter Aaron who looked after us whilst we where there. The food was amazing and the environment was beautiful and to...

My friend & I happened to pop in to The Market Inn after a long day sightseeing at the Cathedral. From the outside it looked welcoming, clean & tidy with a good and varied menu. Imagine our surprise to find a warm welcome - not...

First visit to Market Inn, welcomed with a smile, bit busy downstairs so was told more tables upstairs and waitress would be with us, upstairs is better as more space, waitress soon arrived, service was good, food was very nice and reasonably priced, felt bit...

Great atmosphere brilliant food denym's service in particular was fantastic. We bought the dog and he absolutely loved her

Great deal on the set menu, had a lovely starter and a perfectly cooked rump steak. Service was quick and the staff were friendly. Pub is in a great spot right on the square in the centre of town.

I had a very pleasing experience whilst drinking in the market inn, in particular the barmaid denym was very polite and friendly.

Before I get started, i just want to say that I never write reviews for food even when I’ve been disappointed. I ordered the grilled chicken and crispy bacon salad. The salad was supposed to come on a bed of avocado, with soya beans and...

Booked a table, waited fifteen minutes to have the order taken, another half an hour for a jug of tap water to arrive, then after an hour and 10 minutes the food arrived. While the food was nice it wasn't anything special. Then they were...

We attended as a family and it was really lovely food and great service. We will definitely be back :)

My friends and I visited this pub for a bit of food and some drinks for the first time last week and we will definitely be going back. The staff were attentive and kind, a special mention to Paige who looked like she was rushed...

Came in to watch the Footie and left after the first half, service was super slow and no one knew what they were doing, the young girl didn't know how to make any cocktails, the food took ages to come out, an elderly couple next...

Stopped in to watch the England game with friends and have some food and don't know why we bothered. The staff clearly didn't want to be there, they didn't know their own menu, the food took ages to come out and was cold when it...

We were upstairs, which was cosy but there was rather alot of us squashed in. Starter, I had Chicken Terrine which was lovely, the bread was rather crispy though. Main, I had turkey with vegetables, I must admit the vegetables barring the Brussel sprouts were...

Fantastic lunch for our Christmas party. Excellent 3 course menu (see website) and value for money. Good selection of beers and wine (recommend the Reindeer bitter from Stonehenge Brewery). Staff were brilliant, worked really hard for our big group and couldn’t have done more. Big...

Stopped in the market inn after a mooch around the market in front of the pub great service and spot on drinks.happy days👍🍻

Second visit to the Market Inn in 3 month, have extended the menu and now running good deals, always tasty and at a good price. Service was friendly and timely. Will definitely visit again.

We recently stopped off at The Market Inn, whilst passing through Salisbury. We looked at the surrounding eateries and this had just the right Menu to suit out tastes. We was greeted with a smile from the Manager who told us that he is also...

I have lived in Salisbury most of my life and The Market Inn has always been one of my favourite places to venture to. I often come in with friends for an evening out or alone to wind down after a hard day at work...

We visited The Market Inn in the market square in Salisbury, once a fantastic welcoming establishment! What happened, the new manager swans around like Lord muck, a smile would be good, but I’m sure this isn’t in his nature. We last visited at the beginning...

I have been a regular in this pub for many years, I have seen it hand over from different managers several times in the last year alone all whilst leaving the staff to run the business, and them alone ran it better that currently. Unfriendly...

Its quite a thing to be able to sit in such an old building and wonder what stories these walls can tell.We enjoyed our time there steak pie and refreshing drinks encouraged us to stay longer Thanks for the happy service.

Wow the Market Inn has hit a new low, having frequented this pub many times I can see how bad its got. Stonegate is a horrible company and it's destroyed the business. And from our experience we've seen a ratty cutlery wrapper and a oaf!...

Had a wonderful evening!! Was served by a lovely lady called Sue who made us feel super welcome :) All the drinks tasted amazing. All round LOVELY EXPERIENCE!!! Definitely will be coming back :)

Stopped here today for a sit in the sun , a couple of beers and ended up having lunch too because the food coming out to other tables looked nice. Absolutely lovely lady served us ( Friday 2/9 at 12ish), whoever she was deserves to...

When we arrived we were directed to the stairs and told we'd find our table upstairs. It wasn't busy so we sat where we wanted. Not a big menu choice, especially if you don't like burgers. I choose the the Grilled Chicken and Crispy Bacon...

Laura gave the most amazing service and she is honestly a credit to the business and we can’t thank her enough for making us feel so looked after. Wouldn’t come here if she didn’t work here

Stopped here during the day for a quick drink to help cool down during the hot weather. The staff were really friendly and the drinks were great.

Went back here on business this time rather than pleasure and so glad I did. My client walked away from me having taken my quote and also congratulating me on my choice of meeting venue. Staff were amazing especially Josh and Sue who were running...

Great pub, good cider and beer... Sue is one of the greatest bar staff you could hope for. Hope you buy that campervan 👍😀

The menu was somewhat limited, but the food was tasty enough. The burger was very well cooked, and not hard and tasteless as you find so often in pub meals. My companions enjoyed their scampi and fish and chips. Staff very friendly - as were...

A drunken barman! The wife and I had the most pleasant evening to start with, we had planned our visit due to hearing there was live music. We didn't have food so cannot comment on the food but the drinks were great, a little bit...

My partner and I came to the market inn for a drink due to the hot weather. He was greeted by a women with short hair who seemed to be the manager. We felt extremely uncomfortable from the start by the way she spoke to...

I enjoyed a very tasty streak and ale pie on the sunny patio. It was accompanying by a jacket potato and fresh veggies. So yummy .

Stopped in for a few pints as we explored the city. Staff was great and the atmosphere was perfect. We had lunch before we got here or we would have tried the menu. Diffently would return

I was very grateful to the kind staff for finding us a table on the busy jubilee weekend, however, the standard of the roast dinner was not great. The vegetables and potatoes were okay, but the meat was not very nice and the whole plate...

I had a nice breakfast at Market Inn. The service was friendly. I ordered a "Full English Breakfast" with sausages, eggs, toast, hashed browns, roasted half tomato and bacon - plus a cafe' americano. The sausages were out of this world and I liked the...

Brilliant service from Helen and great recommendations for food! Also amazing food from Sabian ( I think that’s how you spell it) definitely recommend and will be here again for food on my lunch breaks!

I'm local and been coming to this pub a while now...love it...cheaper than other central pubs. The staff are all brilliant, friendly, efficient and a good laugh. Always a nice chilled atmosphere. Nothings too much trouble for these guys - highly recommend and cheers to...

Great food and lovely staff! Sue particularly was so lovely and helpful! Not too expensive but we had a nice evening here.

Sue was absolutely brilliant! She was so funny, and so helpful. The atmosphere was fun, and very welcoming. Thank you!

Had a great Paddy’s day night. Sue was a great hostess. All the staff were great. The service was amazing. And the atmosphere was lovely

As you'd expect from this sort of venue. It's not going to win a Smash Hits food award, but it's a decent meal at a good price. Service was fine, good value for money and a very tasty pie. I've heard of worse outcomes from...

After a theatre performance a friend and I had to wait 30 minutes for our bus home. Opposite the bus stop were a few pubs and we hoped to find a cup of coffee rather than standing in the drizzle. So we entered the first...

Sue is fabulous and really accommodating! Gavalaaaarrr! Maurice is alright too but power to the females

Sue was amazing tonight! Amazing customer service, lovely lady. Had a very lovely visit and an enjoyable night

Sue has delivered excellent service on todays visit to the market inn, the great staff make it such a lovely place to be. Would highly recommend.

Food was really nice and the service was great too. We massively over ordered but Sue went out of her way to help us package it up to enjoy the next day! Great night will come again.

The most welcoming and friendly person I’ve ever met! Absolutely love Sue’s company and service! What a diamond!
