Rowden Arms - Hungry Horse in Wiltshire

Tasty food at a reasonable price

It's a hungry horse, you can't go wrong

We’re not exactly regulars but we do come here a few times a year and the food and service are always of a high standard. The staff (especially a young lady called leigh) are always helpful and professional!

Was served by an amazing server named Michael!! Made our evening so speacial

Most of there pub grub is very good value for what you pay however the Sunday roast dinners I wouldn't feed to a dog or a Somalian family

Amazing staff food was great value especially the £6 fish we will be definitely be back for more cheers guys amazing job.

Don't know about the food drinks sound and Leigh is special

Friday 27/9/24. Spot on. Served by Leigh, who asked me to leave a review. I had the Mixed Grill and Alaskan bake for dessert. Would highly recommend 🙂

Not a good experience 😕 Waiting 1hr 20 for two meat pies, very little meat, with bullet peas is unacceptable. Usual excuses, 'everyone comes in at once, we are short staffed'. It was the same 12 months ago, never again.

Great staff and great food and prices, would definitely recommend coming here.

Visited today. We had a good meal, it was busy to be fare so had an expected delay. Not a problem and the food was good value and came out hot. Service was good and welcoming. Lee was very helpful and we would go there again.

Friendly staff ,good food ,nice peroni

Lovely immediate service in this pub . And 2 for 1 on Burgers was an absolute bargain! Friendly staff throughout and efficient service times the whole visit . Food was amazing and great value too! Will definitely be back!

Came out with my Mum tonight , her Chicken Tikka was amazing .. She loved her meal , . My Fish and Chips with side salad was Fabulous 👌.. Amy and Micheal gave Great Customer Service ... Thankyou 💗 for a Wonderful Evening 🙂✨️

Tried get £8 cocktail deal, read this deal from table card, but then charged defently, then took card away not impressed should offer what is advertised on table, not our fault staff didn't take offer away

We had a lovely roast dinner here £10 and a drink included. Absolute bargain and food was really good. Lovely young girl at the bar who was friendly and efficient. Would definitely return here.

excellent food at a fantastic price better than weatherspoons by a country mile served by Tanya 5 * highly recommend. **(

Very welcoming, friendly staff. Nice food, had the fish and chips,Very fast service. Excellent prices. Will go again.

When we went there was a delay of over 45 mins from ordering the food to it actually arriving and had to chase it up to see where it was and also very loud and obnoxious guests moving tables to try and fit in a large party, steak was asked for medium rare but arrived like boot leather and the burger was over cooked. Will not go back for a while and only use as a last resort for meals out

Service was ok ish only one person serving another one was doing other stuff I was told when asked. Food was hot for a change but I think paying an extra £2 for scampi added to my meal and only receiving 4 yes 4 small pieces was totally a rip off and very disappointing.

As per usual wonderful food & amazing service.

The staff are super friendly and welcoming, and they seem to enjoy working there too. I've been a couple times and every visit is great. Food is good, especially desserts, and has a variety for everyone. The place is clean and cosy if you go later in the day, but it can be a bit loud if you go earlier because it is family-friendly and there may be kids. I personally just put on noise-cancelling headphones when any kids that are there are loud, so I'd recommend bringing some if you go during peak hours. For the accessibility part of my review as a person with autism, I would recommend it, especially during the slower hours. The lighting is inoffensive—not too bright but also not too dull. There are booths and tables that have textures that aren't harsh and would be comfortable for most. There's a variety of food and a kids menu that serves food that a variety of people would enjoy. You can also look at the menu online before you visit, which is great. It can be loud, but not to the point where most noise-cancelling headphones wouldn't help, I stayed for a while and by the end of the visit it was calmer. Overall, it was a great experience, and I don't doubt I'll be returning soon.

Brilliant place, great atmosphere and great staff. Definitely recommended

Excellent food and a really good menu. Service a little slow, but ok for a relaxed meal. Good ordering via the Greene King app.

Was the worst pub I have ever been . Order the good from the table at 2.25pm and just start eating at 3.20pm . And no , wasn't busy was almost empty at that time . The food was almost cold . Honestly, it's the worst pub I have ever been . 5 adults and 2 children

Bad food, bad service. One of the worst diner we've ever had at a pub. Fish and chips had barely any fish just some burnt batter, the steak was like chewing gum. Better off at a McDonalds.

Amazing food amazing service from Jo and tanya

Very pleasantly surprised by this place! The new menu is amazing. The food was superb especially at the price. Staff were really welcoming and friendly and the service was spot on. What more do you need!

Got to be the best steak pie and chips and peas in Wiltshire

Friendly pub. Staff pleasant. Food lovely

The food has gone up in quality, in my opinion over the last couple of years! It's cheap, the staff are friendly although could probably do with a couple more at busy times.

Lovely pub in a good location. The staff were so friendly. The service was quick and the food was delicious. Really good value for money and big portion sizes.

We had a wonderful experience today, we went out for lunch with my 15 month old son who was unfortunately sick after his food due to a medical issue, the two ladies who were working were amazingly kind and compassionate making sure he was okay and making sure his experience was the best it could be, we can not thank them enough for this as it wasn’t the easiest situation. ❤️🙏 On a side note the food was very tasty and well cooked. Really good for the price paid 😊

Lovely pub, very clean Friendly staff Service quick and food lovely

Come here often and it's always brilliant service and food. Thank you to our waiter courtney on our most recent vist and all the other staff always.

Pleasant staff, efficient service

Was served by Leigh on 13th June, a very pleasant lady who was happy to help and ensure everything was ok, thank you. Would happily recommend the pub and its food.

The food was great the staff were jolly and friendly the atmosphere was enjoyable.

The staff are always friendly and helpful nothing ever seems to much trouble and the food is good pub grub.

Been here twice - staff really friendly, service good and food really nice. Defo worth a visit

Busy pub, yet the food came out in a timely manner. Enjoyable meal. Bit disappointed that I couldn't use my Blue Light Badge, had my card but also wanted the code off the site but couldn't gain access to the app! the discount would have been handy as I was paying for 4 people's meals. If I visit the area in the future I will make sure I get code off app before I go. 😊

Not really a food pub, more sports bar as advertised

Everytime I've been here the service has been great. The drinks are great too and for what you pay the food is excellent! A go to for an easy night for me and the Mrs.

Very slow service roasted dinner was processed meat tandoori chicken was rubbery not staffs fault internet did not function very well just bad experience

Best hungry horse I've been too food was lovely well cooked at reasonable prices, good customer service.

Went there on Sunday. Chose tandoori chicken. Meat which was processed was rubbery and chewy. Told manager and swap it for turkey roast. More processed meat 4 round thin slices of dark meat deffo not turkey. When we paid told them meat not nice. Reply all meat is processed not nice meat at all. One young lad serving everyone we asked for horseradish to be asked do we want ice with that. Didn't receive anything. Service took ages but only a few tables. Meat was nasty and not cheap at all. Never go back

Had the 2 roasts for £15.49 on Easter Sunday. Arrived quick and hot. Would eat here again. Nice lot of vegetables and gravy.

For the price it's ok but, the quality of the meat produce is not great. Service is great.

Excellent hungry horse pub, one of the best I have visited as the Food was cooked extremely well and the service on my visit was also excellent. Well worth booking a table if you are looking for a great meal and are in the area.

Great service amazing food. Definitely come back

A lovely meal sizzler steak with peppers, sauce, and cheese with chips and peas. Steak tasty, no fat or gristle . Sweet nacho to share for pud. Plenty for two.

Great food, as always! The Mexican pasta salad with salmon is a lovely addition to the menu just in time for summer. The only criticism is that the drinks we ordered did not arrive before the meal. We had to ask about them when our meal arrived, though once prompted, they turned up speedily.

We went in with a large group for a birthday meal and the staff were very accommodating. Despite the chaos the food was served hot and delicious and the friendliness of the staff really made my boys birthday he couldn’t stop smiling. Definitely recommend for large groups.

Good good good prices nice staff

Codie did a great job serving my food and drinks

I had the Korean buttermilk bbq burger which was so flavoursome. I came here with family on a Friday and it was BOGOF on all burgers, no exemptions on this also. The service was prompt and very friendly. All in all my partner, myself and our daughter all had a drink and a main for less than £25. Incredible value for money and a pleasant atmosphere

Very fast service, food was average but cheap, atmosphere was noisy and busy, sensation overload for me unfortunately. Looked very short staffed and employees were struggling to keep up with customer demand.

Don't waste your time or money, it's really not worth it. Made a quick decision to stop and have some food as we had 3 hungry kids in the car and though we had low expectations, imagined it would be fine enough. Wish we didn't Main meals were around £10 so not expensive and the staff were pleasant enough but the food was almost inedible, vegetables were grey, watery, mush. Sausages overcooked and crunchy, burgers soggy, odd tasting and wet buns. Sticky tables, broken chairs. Gents toilets out of order. No soft drinks on tap. Really the worst meal I've had in 40 years. A sandwich from a garage or mcd's would be so much better if your after a quick bite. I can't believe anyone goes to this place twice even if it's cheap.

Meals was fantastic the Atmosphere was great. The service was Fantastic and also staff were amazing will definitely be coming back.

It's an ok place had some mental burger chicken sizzler combo. Like the Mrs cheap & cheerful

As you would expect , filled a hole , tasted good ,good price

Rajkot enjoyed the £5 fish and chips. The fish was lovely. And our grandson said that the burger meal was amazing. Thoroughly recommended

Brilliant atmosphere, lovely helpful staff. Beer & Food is amazing with very quick service. Thankyou for a lovely evening Codie & Joanna.

Served by Codie and Joanne and who were friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Will be back, thanks

Amazing food . Such a great atmosphere too be in staff are very polite and welcoming

Food was great as usual, Cody always takes the time to chat and ensure everything is good.

Quick service! Food arrived fresh and hot! Simple but effective! Never had a bad visit here!

Unable to fault the service in ant way, always a delight to eat at the Rowden.

Been to Rowden Arms many times and always very good service. Family friendly and good Value. Attentive Staff, food was Hot and well presented.

We had our Christmas day lunch here, and all left completely full and satisfied. Thank you to the staff who gave up their Christmas day and made our day fantastic.

Great staff and the food was brilliant, especially the Korean chicken burger

Definitely surpassed my expectations with just of 2.1 Arms per patron, exceptional! Worth taking any arms here, the more the merrier. Superb advice from one of the locals - had some of the nicest local brandy here! ***Ask the barman for a “sneaky cheeky potty totty” and you’ll be sure to enjoy a free shot of their homemade brandy***

Hour an 15 min wait food lovely

This has been our second visit this month and both times Courtney has served us. She's been very welcoming, friendly and amazing with seating us. The food is also amazing, delicious and filling.. 5* service from all the staff too.. Definitely be coming back again.

After waiing 55 mins for food. It was not even tepid. Sent my megga mixed grill back.... came back 5 mins later after being reheated in microwave. My rare steak was like shoe leather, gammon was meh, egg was now hard peas like bullets chips and onion rings limp and soggy . Who reheats chicken!!!! And expects a customer to eat it !!! Sausages were given to husband. His ultimate combo... scampi was cold as was most of the other stuff. He dosnt mind tepid food.. We have eaten here before and the food was great. If i could give zero stars i would.

Very good food.we go to rowan Arms alot.all staff very good. We have found Courtney very good always very helpful and very polite and friendly. I have older parents who Courtney makes sure they looked after

Great pub with lovely food and friendly staff.

Great food nice peaceful spot nice staff good prices. Very happy with this place. 🥙🌯🌮🥪🍕🥣🍲🍻🍺🍽🍛🥗🌭🍔🍟🍗 very good pudding nachos I strongly recommend it. It was lovely. Curry was very bad though.😥😥

We had an early afternoon appointment at the local hospital so it was perfect for lunch beforehand. It's a Hungry Horse, nothing grand, just good food at a reasonable price, friendly staff and ample parking. Recommend.

Great,friendly,local.The young team of barstaff always give an efficient, friendly service.Brandon or Bradley not sure which is right,is always to helpful,friendly,and efficient.

Great offers on food and drinks

Really good food and value for money.

Clean pub, good food at fair prices. Highly recommend

Happy looking staff. Didn't have to wait long to be served or for food. Very nice relaxed atmosphere.

Great pub with plenty of large screens and a pool table

Food was fresh, hot and fast service

Good food, quick service. Staff are lovely and helpful

Good value for money, good quality tasty food, friendly staff, will be back again soon.

Came in as a group of 10 after a day out including 5 wheelchairs 2 that transferred to chairs food came out very hot and fresh we all enjoyed it very much gluten free menu good choice only downside was no gluten free beer/ale which is a preferred option. And also getting abuse of another customer as we had a mini bus parked in the disabled bays and he had to wait

I was really disappointed, we came here thinking we would try it as we haven't been in 10 years , it was my daughters 18th , we had the 2 pub classics for £11.99 , Well, when it came out, it was a very small portion , 2 onion rings, 10 chips , and 2 small dried up chicken breasts with dried up bbq sauce and bacon. We were still hungry after and had to go to McDonald's to make up for the food being awful. I appreciate that when it's a deal, you may get less, but this was bad . We won't be trying this again , which is a shame as we have been to a few hungry horses and had lovely meals on offer, but this one was the worst. And I felt bad for my daughter it was her birthday meal 18th as well .

Good food lovely staff at a good price👍

It's a hungry horse, you know what you're getting, nothing more nothing less. It meets my low expectations.

Nice clean tables and facilities were all in good order. Plenty of food at reasonable prices. Don't expect cordon bleu as it's not that sort of place! If you just want a cheap family meal then then it's the place to go.

Disappointed this visit. We had to wait 40 minutes for food. It was not up to the usual standard & service was very poor

Only one member of staff serving took half an hour to get served for a drink and order our food and fifty minutes for food to come out

Steak was the worst I have ever had.

Very poor quality of ales, cloudy and sour. Sunday roast was dismall, overcooked stewed vegetables, soggy roast potatoes, no stuffing, no cranberry sauce for Turkey (only do this at Christmas). Staff avoiding us for table check. Filthy toilets ( no checks made for 2 days). Broken wash basin tap. Will not recommend or return to this very poor managed, filthy place.

Not sure if this establishment has had a recent decor but it's very clean, tidy and was a pleasure to visit. Staff welcoming, food was very good and reasonably priced. Would be happy to return.

Great staff, good food and good prices
