First time there we were greeted by a right misery behind the bar. He said "what do you want" as I'd we were putting him out by being there! No please, no thank you and no "do come again". Sad because we live here and really looked forward to having a new "local". That was 6 years ago and we've not bothered going back. I was told by a local that the landlord doesn't like anyone. Perhaps he needs a new vocation?

Lovely local pub with very friendly staff. The young waiter couldn't do enough for us and was running around after everyone, working very hard. My lasagne was quite dry but the steak pie had rave reviews from the rest of the group, so I definitely regret my choice! But a nice pub, a great selection on the menu with loads of vegetarian options.

We arrived a bit late for a meal as we were driving a fair bit, we were directed to this pub by the local premiere inn. When we arrived, we grabbed a seat and started to look at the food menu. While there, the man behind the bar made a comment to someone who he was serving "They expect to get fed" and both of them chuckled. When I looked around, they were both looking at us, I was a little annoyed but then went up and asked if we can order food, the man at the bar said to me "I dunno, is she still serving food" I shrugged and told him I didn't know. He then pressed the horn on his wheelchair and a lovely, pleasant girl came out and took our order. I was a little more irritated at this point so my travel partner went up to order the drinks because I was afraid of what I might say to the barman. Our food arrived, my travel partner had a big plate of chicken with some sort of yellow sauce and veg (she said it tasted nice) I ordered the fish and chips as it required as little thought as possible, I was too annoyed to think straight. So, the fish and chips arrived, the fish tasted nice and the chips were lovely and crispy. However, I am fairly sure the fish was frozen fish from Sainsburys!! Well, I was so disappointed I want to walk out of the place. We had our meal, finished our drinks, and left. Perhaps they didn't like us arriving so late for a meal or it was the Irish accent that turned them off but it was a very unpleasant experience and the pub itself was very dirty.

Just a short walk on a country lane from the Ruishton Premier Inn, this is a great village pub with lovely staff/owners who looked after our party well. The food & drink was varied and reasonably priced, and the menu had just what we needed. Our five-year-old niece was kept entertained hunting around the pub & garden for all the model animals, including something like 50 elephants!

Lovely pub with a spacious car park and a pool table. They have a no coins on the table policy where the winner stays on for other players that come in but we went mid week so wasn't super busy. We had a couple nice bowls of cheesy chips, staff were friendly and the drinks were reasonably priced.

After months of shielding my Dad was on his own, while his sons were in tier 4 and my wife wondered how to get a Christmas Dinner to him Up stepped Caroline from the Ruishton Inn. It would have been easy for her to say no, but she didn't, she kindly made it happen and my dad got a full delicious Christmas lunch delivered. 5 star service

Clean, nice enough staff, but lacking in atmosphere. Beer was ok. Went at 8 on a Friday evening, on a bank holiday weekend, when you would expect a pub to be busy. There were 4 people dining, and 3 drinkers in the bar, joined by 2 later on. I will try it again, but on first contact, a bit underwhelming.

Although the pub was quiet the landlady was very welcoming and pleasant, and could not do enough for us. My sister and I enjoyed a very tasty and good-value-for-money lunch. The food was freshly cooked to order. We were doing a recce to see if it could accommodate our elderly father's wheelchair which it did - everything on the same level, including access to the car park and toilets. This is a traditional English pub - not a themed kid's playground. A gem in our opinion.

Have just visited this pub when we stayed at the Premiere Inn at Ruishton. If you are looking for a nice friendly pub do not bother to go here. The Landlord was extremely negative and we felt he did not want us there. We were going to have a meal there but felt if the lack of care and attention to customers was that poor we didn't even want to try the food. We felt we needed a rule book as soon as you walked through the door with the do's and don'ts informed to us by the landlord as we started to play pool. When we asked about the skittle Alley we were told he would have to open it all up and we would have to pay as well (as though we would have expected it for nothing). All in all felt very unwelcomed and left after one drink.

The room was fine as usual for premier inn and at least the USB points worked for a change. I also appreciate the parking exceptions. The reason for not giving more stars was the horrendous food and limited menu with no explanation. We get a meal deal for work, and had a choice of chicken strips, chips or nachos for starter and not much for mains either. Nachos are literally out the bag with a tiny dip and one sprig of rocket for 3.50. Chicken wasn't crispy. The fish and chips had no veg or tartar sauce, tiny portions of chips and the fish was straight out of a frozen Birdseye box, for 13.50! I could make much better at home for the price of the nachos! Bolognese tasted like tea and was horrible, probably out of a microwave packet. If you can't do food shut the kitchen don't rip people off, it's criminal charging that, and after a hard day's work it's disappointing. At least breakfast was nice.

Located in Bishop's Lydiard, a very good takeaway food, open 6 days a week between 5pm and 10 pm..open also on bank holidays 😀 You can place your order over the phone and go pick it up so you don't have to wait over there,they don't do any deliveries. Good food, good service. Definitely recommended...enjoy it
