Pelican Inn in Wiltshire

We booked on Saturday afternoon for the evening and they had space. Lovely friendly staff, who were really welcoming. We had a bottle of wine between us and asked about the ‘4 sharers for £24’ deal, which only had one customisable vegan option, and asked to add the soup starter as a fourth (it was cheaper) and was outright told no. We ordered four starters/sharers and two meals. When brought out, one of the starters had been forgotten, when enquired about, we were told it would be a few minutes. My vegan starters the hounds and bread and soup were fantastic. His chicken wings were a bit dry and the belly pork tasted nice but was undercooked and not crispy. I had the one vegan main, the wellington, which was really tasty but the veg was super salty. He had the sirloin, which he said was good but moult worth the £31 price tag. We had puddings. My fruity Belgian waffle sundae was a delight! His sticky toffee pudding was the best he’s ever had and said made up for any niggles with the rest of the meal. Overall we really enjoyed our experience and would go back.

An absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish!! Service was friendly and attentive and the food… OMG!! We had the chicken strips to start and the steak sandwich for main. The chicken was so tender and flavourful and the steak sandwich is hands down the best we have EVER had!! Talk about gormet!! Just visiting from Australia but will desperately try to get back here before we leave!
