National Trust Restaurant in Wiltshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Overpriced. Had a poor iced americano, effectively a cup of weak coffee-flavoured cold water.

Stourhead as a place to visit is fantastic. It is let down by this restaurant/café. We had a cream tea where the scone was very dry and it was very expensive compared to many other places. Captive market. The restaurant could have been cleaner.

Great place.. beautiful surroundings... lovely food dog friendly. Shop well laid out . fantastic stock.. friendly staff

I would give it 6 stars if I could . Truly nice food. Good value and comfy place to eat either inside or out.

Unfortunately both mine and my husband's lunch was not edible. Although I was very hungry I just couldn't eat it. Potatoes must have been reheated for hours and had to taste or texture. The jacked potato was watery, the bean chilly was overcooked and had no taste at all and the wedges not possible to chew. The meat in the sausage roll was very poor quality and caused tummy issues. Such a big disappointment after a fabulous visit at Stourhead. Unfortunately I do not recommend this restaurant, such a shame.

Good coffee, tea and cake. Bacon butty not bad.

The restaurants prices are absurd. Take a packed lunch!

Excellent value for money, we thought it was going to be more expensive.

Great vegan food. Shame the vegan cheese is not warmed on the chips

Loved couldn't ask for more with everything

Large bright and airy restaurant which is a great place to have a coffee or lunch. NT food has the typical menu with a small but varied menu and, of course, cakes. Prices are reasonable for food although cakes are at the top end of pricing. Service is quick. Only minor point is some of the wedges and potato skins had been heated for too long. The coleslaw and pulled pork burger was very good.

We had the Vegan Keralean pasties. They were awful. Very hard pastry, skimpy unpleasant filling & no obvious cauliflower. I left most of mine. Such a shame. We have had this pasty at other NT places which were delicious.

little bit too canteen-y for my liking - love national trust cafes normally but it felt like school. Great vegan options though!

Haven't eaten here recently, but the last time I did the food was brilliant.

Large seating area both indoors and out. Dogs allowed in most of the areas apart from one. Nice selection of snacks and meals, both hot and cold. Usual array of hot and cold drinks. After a good walk around the grounds its a great place to refuel. Don't know what it is but a NT cream tea can't be beat!

food good. staff away with the fairies.

Great, even for a National Trust restaurant

Lovely visit today with my family. Nice lunch. Very disappointed with ladies toilet. Toilet paper all over the floor in the ladies in the top seating area. Very messy and toilet not flushing well. This was just after 11am. Usually very clean so disappointed. Otherwise nice visit.

The cafe is a regular pitstop for us when we’re cycling. The coffee has a nice flavour to it (we get flat whites). There’s a good selection of cakes and savouries. The cheese scones are nice and filling! Shame the cafe doesn’t do a loyalty card like some other coffee shops do. I’ve always found the staff efficient. Some of the plants on sale are unusual and if I wasn’t on a bike when visiting I’d have bought a few by now!

Ok, on the good side: - the cakes are wonderful and the coffee not bad. - Atmosphere - OK but a bit too canteen like. - Staff trying their best but were very short-handed. And the not so good? Well on a previous visit I very much enjoyed their Cornish pasty (without salad) for a brunch/elevenses. But this time they refused putting a pasty in the microwave for me on the grounds that it was now deemed to be a lunch item and it wasn't yet lunch hour. Only filled baps available before midday. So I had to settle for a breakfast bap; which was terrible. Bap tasteless and dry (not buttered). The bacon had obviously been cooked and kept hot so was hard and dry - not succulent like freshly-cooked bacon. The fried egg yolk was hard. So a very disappointing visit. It used to be that the National Trust served very good quality local food. No evidence of that on my visit.

Excellent food and service for a very good price. 👍

Anniversary walk in the rain and stopped by for a coffee and some cake to begin the day out. All good however the restaurant windows and roof windows could do with a good clean.

A wet day made better by a hot wet cup of tea.

Lovely little place and dog friendly

Lovely place to walk around. Changes with the seasons. Lovely food. Great to see the archaeological dig and living medieval area.

Visited at the end of the day and selection was poor and not very nice

An expensive stop off for food,which is ok but rather expensive,and with a limited menu

A fantastic experience for all the family, if you have a disability they have a bus to drive you to the castle . There is a stunning village and Manor House, garden and much more.

Love the cream tea and sponge! And unlimited cool water is appreciated.

Good National Trust restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating areas

£20 for 2 jacket potatoes and a slice of cake, with no waiting service?!?! The pricing is extortionate.

It was very good and affordable! Two meals, and 4 drinks (two bottles of re:water, a latte and a 7UP zero) for 20 £! No complaints.

Fairly normal National Trust restaurant location. Food was nice enough and the staff were friendly. Can get busy at weekends.

Great place to enjoy your visit refreshments. Good main meal menu. Plenty of seating. Good prices. Tea and coffee very good. Gardens amazing!

A great national trust coffee shop, would highly recommend 👍

A great visit, grounds in great order with the spring blossom 🌸. My youngest went on the Easter Egg trail which she thoroughly enjoyed. Although, quicker than other NT sited, this would have scored higher but lack of utilising staff on supporting the food counter. The staff throughout were lovely, polite and helpful and knowledgeable.

We went half-term week restaurant busy food affordable but our meal was not cooked in middle. Dishes weren't cleared away from tables

Just got a coffe and a coke but all good

We look forward to going to NT cafes as the food is usually a good quality. This is the third time we have found the food to be substandard here and overpriced. There was lack of choice and small portions. Some of the staff serving the meals appeared not interested in the customers at all. Next time we will just buy tea and take a packed lunch. Such a lovely place to visit, shame the cafe is no where near what it was.

Very busy N.T. cafe. I am not a great fan of N.T. coffee, so not the best experience for me. Very basic ,however, table staff on the ball when clearing.

Good selection of cakes and snacks. Inside and outside seating areas.

Had pot of tea and scone jam reasonable cost

The food always looks lovely, though I always tend to have one of their delicious scones. My only complaint is for the amount of staff on know one can manage to wipe a table so it is clean for the next customers.

There are always long queues no matter how quiet it is. People at the tills serving often just stand there waiting for customers as everyone is waiting to order at the hot food bit before. Then normally after a while people get annoyed and try and bypass the hot food counter if they only want coffee. This then creates anger from hot food customers waiting with their going cold food to pay as there is now a new queue of Impatient coffee drinkers.

We visited on Tuesday for lunch. A fairly cold, damp day. A lovely selection of food although service was quite slow. They only had part of the restaurant open with limited seats with no spare tables but this was only seen once we had purchased our meals. Knowing that there was a much larger area with tables etc that was closed off I asked if we could use that area as there was no where to sit... I was told we were have to take our meals outside or share a table. It was raining a light drizzle.. There was no where under cover outside so it would have meant sitting in the cold with both ourselves and our meals getting wet and when I pointed out that there were no spare seats at any of the tables inside but plenty of empty tables in the second part of the restaurant I was told yes but we are not using that area we have a meeting booked in there later on leaving us standing there holding trays of hot food feeling useless. I saw elderly visitors huddled up outside trying to enjoy a cream tea and faling miserably. No where near good enough management in the restaurant on that day. My first negative review of anywhere and I wish I hadn't had to post it.

A busy restauarnt at the weekend but with efficient and very well trained and polite staff.

Staff in the cafe were brilliant! So friendly and calm. Thank you!

A welcome rest here after a long drive. Delicious pasties and a nice hot cuppa!

Good selection of food and we'll priced.

It was our first time here and it is so gorgeous 😍

Bardzo mila beluga.Zywnosc wysmienita co wazne Swieza.Zapach a kuchni pachnie czystoscia zero zapachu starego oleju itp.

Nice restaurant attached to a fantastic National Trust site

Good selection of food as always. Coffee tasteless.

It was lovely to have coffee and scone at Stourhead. Also excellent vegan choice and my son enjoyed soup and roll. Perfect finish to our super walk x

A very good choice of food and lots of cakes to choose from. On the down side, coffees are very small for the price and cake portions are small. Checkout was very slow, a second checkout would be a good idea especially at busy times.

Food is good; soup was excellent. Basic table and chairs set up. It is a utilitarian space

Very limited menu but what we had was ok

Okay cafe (usually find NT restaurants very good). Disappointed with lack of food choices ie no pastries. Service was a bit dour too and the cafe definitely lacked atmosphere

Lovely establishment with plenty of variety to set you up for a walk around the estate, good vfm and well worth a visit even if it's just a warm drink on a cold winters day.

Always great! Fresh made tasty food.

Good for reliable quality simple meals (lunchtime/teatime).

Very expensive tea and not much of a cup either.

Always great place to walk around.

I came here with my family I had great service and food and drink .😄

I'm impressed. There were staff shortages but those on duty made a great success of the day we visited. Barely a que, a wide range of food and beverages all provided efficiently and in good humour. Plenty of space too.

Had a gorgeous Moroccan chicken and slaw roll. Definitely one of the top National Trust restaurants

Considering the staff shortage. Great experience.

The cafe seems to have slipped in quality recently, both in terms of food and staffing. We found staff to be quite rude and stand offish when ordering hot drinks at the counter. Would suggest stopping the in courtyard by the spread Eagle instead for a quick hot drink or going in the pub for food.

Tasty, affordable food and beawarage. Quick service. Lots of customers at the weekend.

Great to support the National trust, a very nice environment to be in.

This is ok if you got caught unprepared for something to eat, very expensive and limited choice in particular for dietary restrictions, service ok, poor utensils and serving setup, seating is limited inside and crowded even when covid19 haven't fully left us, outside seating is worse.

Good food at reasonable price and choice

Nice, but as with all NT cafes a little expensive.

The staff very friendly and helpful unfortunately the quality of food let it down. £14 for 2 eggs over cooked,2 thin slices of ham and over cooked chips which had lost half their heat overall mediocre . My partners pork in cider pie was very, very small and he found the sauce tasted ok but runny . Sorry to say although the staff I couldn't fault you do need to address the standard of food. Next time we'll bring a picnic and just have a pot of tea in the cafe.

Friendly servers. Good quality of food and drink. Perfect location at the Stourhead National Trust site before having to show your NT card. Doggy friendly with outside seating available. Free parking for NT members. The only downside is the meal was quite pricey and there wasn’t a lot of variety in the menu. I also noticed the used dishes were not promptly being removed so wasps were coming in. Overall a nice place for a coffee and I’d probably go again, but not for a meal.

Great surroundings in which to have a cuppa and snack. Really friendly staff. On this visit had a piece of flap jack... Not the best very dry and hard.

Went with friends for the afternoon. But we didn't go in the restaurant. We had ice-cream and drinks in the court yard Lovely gardens and walks. Just nice to chill out.

Got there latish so not much choice. It's more of a cafeteria than a restaurant in my view. But what we had was fine.

So very, very expensive, £1.85p for a can of pop, that's extortionate. Food expensive too, why?

£15 for two not very well made sandwiches a drink and a packet of crisp expensive. Free water tap appreciated

Clean and good food but pricey more than £14 for 2 cold drinks and 2 veg pasties!

Good quality food, can get busy but to be expected in such a fantastic place

Expensive and same as all the other places me visit

Good long walk to Cafe and toilets.

Great quality coffee to start and finish a trip. Cakes pretty amazing too

Over priced and not alot of gluten free options like they did before.

Good cafe, reasonable prices, plenty of outdoor seats.

We ate here yesterday and very disappointed. The pea soup was totally tasteless. Took it back.. ordered and paid for the cauliflower pastie. Also left that. First national trust cafe we have had poor food at

I couldn't find any nice gluten free cake

Very nice very tasty and very reasonable

Poor food for such a lovely place as stourhead

Nice surroundings, decent food, polite staff! All in all, pleasant end to a nice afternoon.

A step up from the usual NT eateries. Polite efficient service, clean and smart looking service counters. Food was good too. Five stars if they extend the menu so that it is a real restaurant rather than a bistro.

Food very tasty although a bit burnt. Main problem was that every single available table needed to be cleaned. They all had crumbs and spilt drinks. We cleared one for ourselves and no one appeared, at any time, to sort it out.

Very clean , tables sanitizered after every customer. Good quality food with a good variety

So nice to gave this. Delicious scones, lovely surroundings.

Great Bean Chilli and yummy chocolate cake, Clean, tidy restraint and happy staff

Very good selection of food and drinks staff friendly and helpful

Just too busy, and the quality of food was just like a canteen not a cafe.

Stopped in the NT cafe for a quick drink and bite to eat. Tables were cleaned after every customer with a note placed on the table confirming it had been cleaned. Shame it took covid to encourage cafes and restaurants to do this. Hot drinks were fine cheese scone was very tasty
