Seven Stars Pub in Wiltshire

I only moved to the area last year and I was recommended to to this lovely pub and its staff who served me with the best modules mariniere I have had outside France. So, imagine my disappointment when Spring arrived and modules disappeared from the summer menu may- although their pub staple of ham, egg and chips was high class. Last week I met with friends to try the 2024 winter menu. The ham, egg and chips were as good as ever and the cider battered haddock was enjoyed but the modules topped them both. Sweet shallots, garlic and white wine bathed the plump mussels set,off by a topping of parsley. The chef managed to get a wonderful depth of sweet flavour to the dish which came in both starter and main dish sizes.. The service was as friendly as ever and the beer is well kept. Thank you.

Wonderful Sunday roast and desert today, absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend and the added bonus of being looked after by a really lovely, supa friendly, smiley waitress, which can really make a difference to your dining experience.

Fantastic pub, cracking find. Food was hearty and the bass was presented lovely. The chunky chips are delicious. Our server was a little curt but service was prompt. Will absolutely be returning / recommending.

Light bite, pint and Star Affogato, excellent lunch, friendly service. Great start to the weekend!

We found this pub by chance 9 years ago on a visit to Bath and returned here again in July, whilst on holiday, and stopped for a lunchtime drink in the garden, and then decided to return again in the evening for dinner. Very good food and service. I am a small eater and they were unable to provide smaller portions in the evening, so opted for a starter as a main, which was still very good.

Went here on Monday lunchtime with my partner and two children under ten......we had the best time out for lunch. The food was second to none. Amazing quality of ingredients and fantastic presentation food, including what the kids had...friendly atmosphere and lovely front of house staff made for a brilliant Monday treat. Oh and the team in the kitchen should be very proud of their work

Nice spot, delicious salads, live music on Saturdays, if you sit outside you have to order inside and pay immediately

Nice place, usual pub grub, but didn't feel over welcome. I almost felt we were an inconvenience. Didn't seem to like the puppy being in the garden even though we were the only ones in there. Won't be rushing back.

Just popped in for a pint, love spot, friendly staff and cold beer, perfect.

We love the seven stars and have been many times. It is reliably good food with great service and a friendly atmosphere. We have been with our children, as a couple and as a large group so it does accommodate for many options! There's a nice garden area to sit in the sun. We'd highly recommend for takeaway also - the fish and chips is by far the best in the area!

Great welcome, fabulous food and lovely atmosphere. Topper 👍 did not fail us on our next visit 😃

Absolutely lovely pub. Very friendly and helpful staff. Adam especially. We all had the fish and chips which was delicious and definitely would recommend this.

Good food & good portions. A little moan about an item undercooked but besides that, all fine. Would visit again. Welcoming staff.

Food is consistently high quality. Lovely local village pub although very popular with tourist crowd in summer . Nice little seating area outside which although on the road is still very pleasant. I'm lucky my family live in Wnsley and we support our local pub xx

Great Sunday lunch. Really nice staff, good atmosphere and good music. Decent price too 😀

I stopped in for lunch last week with my daughter, while we were out walking. It was my first visit to the Seven Stars and I was most impressed. It's a charming old village pub with a good sized outside seating area to the front. We received a warm and friendly welcome upon our arrival. I chose a pork belly dish from the 'specials' menu and I'm really pleased that I did. It was absolutely delicious. I will look forward to my next visit, hopefully sometime soon.

Great Lunch, great location, lovely staff, great value. Exactly what you want from a pub lunch mid week near Bradford on Avon.

Tasty filling pub-grub FF sandwich, served right at the end of lunch window.

An evening out with friends. We were slightly early but ignored by the staff for the first 5 minutes. The food average at best & verging on tasteless. The atmosphere was nice & lively. We had the Hake, vegetarian Katsu curry, fish & chips and sweet chilli chicken pizza.

Food oriented drinks a bit pricey 5.40 for thatchers shandy. Didn't have any food so can't comment but what I saw looked good.

Tasty food. Cody pub. Good value

Just a tidy pub with a good ale choice. Five of us here for Sunday Lunch incl roast beef, roast lamb but both were disappointing, being a bit sinewy. Plenty of pleasant, young Sunday staff, but they were a bit disorganised. I felt more training & attention to detail would help. All-in-all a nice drinking pub, but Sunday Lunch needs an uplift for me to return.

Once again, another delicious lunch. We booked for my husband’s birthday in March and for my midweek birthday lunch in April. We thoroughly enjoyed the haddock and scampi. All the staff were attentive and friendly. Great pub atmosphere. Sunday roast is next 😊

Great evening meal as usual. Always Great service and food always tasty. A reliable restaurant.

Loverly ambience, excellent service and the food, in this case Sunday roasts, of good and tasty quality. Recommended !!.

This is a great place to eat,and the choice of beer is great.

Always a good sign when a pub is full on a Tuesday. This is a wonderful cosy pub with a lovely welcome from staff as we entered. The spring menu was varied enough to suit most. The food is excellent, beautifully presented and most importantly, very tasty. The staff are super friendly and very knowledgeable about their menu and drinks. A* excellent.

Small portions of food for the price, it was nice though

It had been over a decade since my last visit to the Seven Stars, a place I frequented during my cricket days with Winsley. This Bank Holiday, we decided to reunite with some old friends over lunch. The staff greeted us warmly, and their assistance was impeccable. The spring menu impressed us all with its top-notch quality and delightful presentation. Needless to say, we'll be returning much sooner this time. Highly recommended.

Treated my husband to a delicious birthday lunch. Pleased that I had booked as the pub was full on a Monday. The cheesy garlic bread is a must to start with! Haddock was outstanding and my husband enjoyed his gammon. We have booked again for my birthday next month 😃 🎈

Lovely food and service! And great gluten free options too. Love the quiz question cards too

Having just moved to the area, I was keen to explore the local dining experiences and The Seven Stars at Winsley was mentioned by everyone I spoke to. Like many roads in the area, they are narrow and lined by stone walls. There is a fair-sized car park alongside the beer garden which would be an attraction in the summer while there was a welcoming warmth as we entered the brightly-lit pub. Tables are arranged in such a way that most of them have a bit of privacy to them dogs are obviously very welcome.. Veggies, vegans and carnivores are all well-catered for by the various menus. - light bites, lunch, Sundays, kids, breakfasts and pizzas off a wide range of dishes. My son had high praise of the battered fish and chips while daughter-in-law enjoyed two starters but, for me, the standout dish was the lMoules mariniere brought in very plump and juicy from Brixham. The white wine liquor was beautifully sweet and I should have asked for a lump of bread to soak it up with instead if the skinny fries. The service was friendly and efficient with good beer on tap but the modules topped everything. I will be back.

Staying locally we booked an early table for supper with dog in tow. Really welcoming staff and a nice cosy atmosphere. Drink choice inc wines good and an interesting specials board along with the winter menu. Curry and the fish and chips both generous and tasty. We recommend!

`It was a good night😄and reasonable food. Robin😃

Good food, and very good service, very enjoyable lunch.

Good ale in a warm , comfortable environment.

Had lunch here recently. I'm glad we chose The Seven Stars .staff were great. The food was excellent and served with a great smile we will be returning soon 😀 😊 ☺️

The food was great and lovely ambiance too in local area Our steak and mussel so delish!!

The burger was very poor for the price it cost. There were no crispy onions or gherkins included as advertised, plus it's a cheek to charge an additional £1.80 for cheese, taking it to over £18. Plus, it arrived on a silly little piece of wood. My partner's pasta was also missing ingredients. The waitresses didn't seem to pay much attention and kept getting orders wrong. A disappointing lunch overall.

Fantastic food, venue and service. Excellent boxing day with family

A busy village pub with a great selection of food and drink in a very friendly atmosphere.

We come here quite often because the food is always delicious and the staff are very friendly. We have recently had 2 Christmas meals up there and the dishes served were all very generous portions, delicious & good value for money. The pub has a lovely atmosphere & will definitely be back soon. Merry Christmas to all involved in making this pub outstanding xx

We just love the most delicious food at the Seven Stars. My son is 11 and absolutely loves going. We had a free day last Saturday and out of all the things he chose to do he chose go to this pub to eat. We had pigs in blanket as nibbles, and the Camembert with red onion jam which was just a fabulous combo. Then we enjoyed the Seven Stars burger, the scampi, gammon, and their gluten free fish and chips. A very happy family so full we couldn’t fit in any desserts on this occasion. The Seven Stars deserves 7 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Large group of 14 of us on a Saturday evening had great friendly and helpful service by all the staff from the manager, bar staff and waitress. Great service really does make the difference. The food was flavoursome and mouthwatering too. We had a range of starters, mains and desserts but personally I really enjoyed my moules mariniere to start - the garlic, white wine and cream sauce was delicious. Which there was the option of this for mains too as a bigger portion with chips - good to know for next time. I also loved my steak cooked just right for medium rare. My friends really enjoyed their meals too including the vegetarian lentil cottage pie, the fish and chips - commented on the delicious triple cooked chips and cooked to perfection batter. Desserts were all delicious too and finished the evening off perfectly. The pub was busy as expected for a Saturday evening, including happy drinkers at the bar too which is always great to see. Will definitely be returning with friends and family again, and would love to try out the Sunday lunch soon too which everyone talks about.

Nice relaxed pub with a fab roast

Very nice pub, had lunch here and the food was very good. We had the burger, fish and chips and the mussels. All well cooked. tasty and presented. Service was good, even when the pub was very busy.

Lovely venue. Great staff, Chloe was particularly helpful. Menu = pub standard, nothing special, disappointing choice.

Very poor meal of puy lentil cottage pie . Absolutely tasteless just a load of ,probably , tinned lentils with a few onions in it ,topped with sweet potatoes. Other tasty vegetables could have been added to the lentils to make it at least taste of something . Served with something green drizzled on plate and over cooked carrots.

As usual excellent food and service, I'd booked a party of 10 for Sunday lunch so we had the whole upper tier to ourselves. As soon as we got there we were asked if we wanted to order drinks, always great to be acknowledged when you first arrive. Food was great, my partner and I had the Turkey which was very nice indeed, love their roast potatoes and the stuffing was really good and plenty of veg and gravy. All in all an excellent experience and we will undoubtedly be back again.

Had 4 take out meals 2 chicken curries and 2 burgers. Order was on time and throughly enjoyable. Wholesome food well done.

Most unwelcoming pub ever visited. The manager asked if we'd booked, was evidently put out to serve us and hustled our group of 9 onto a table that we "could have for 1 hour till 4:45pm." The place was less than half full with lots of tables with reserved signs on. Evidently now a restaurant masquerading as a pub.

Although very busy when we went there the staff were very attentive and the food was excellent.

Regulary have Sunday roast here which is always brilliant. Popped in midweek, the the pub as cosy as ever and beer spot on, food less so. I had triple cooked chips and haddock, lots of batter small tastless piece of haddock. Triple cooked chips were greasy, unlike any triple cooked chips I've had before. Hubby had honey glazed wiltshire ham,which was very proccesed. All in all, not the meal I thought it would be i.e. I was hoping for hand cut ham on the bone and fresh haddock dipped in a light batter. Chips from potatoes and not from the freezer.Prehaps expecting to much, will stick to Sunday lunch in future.

I was walking with a group of about 10 friends last Saturday and called in afterwards for a drink. We were asked if we'd booked a table which we hadn't as we only wanted a drink. We were then told that we could have a table for one hour though we would like to have stayed longer and perhaps had a snack. This message was not given in a pleasant, friendly manner and we had the impression we were a nuisance rather than welcome customers. When we left there was no-one waiting for our table and plenty of spaces at other tables. Perhaps this pub doesn't want drinkers!

We were meeting old friends who live close to the pub which perhaps enhanced the service we received but other guests also appeared very happy, too. I have marked down the food as the steak strips were over cooked and could have been more tender

Great bartenders, amazing food. Can’t fault.

Ok, this is my local pub. Having said that we’ve been regularly coming here for various lunches, dinners etc. It never fails. Sunday lunch today with a friends was another winner. A great varied menu and the Sunday roast a delight.

It deserves the seven stars in its name. Make a reservation if you are interested in their Sunday roast.

Friendly village pub with lovely staff. The food was excellent at reasonable prices. A true hidden gem with a nice choice of vegetarian options.

My first visit to this pub and it was nice, not amazing but very nice. Staff were fabulous and we were very well looked after. The ambiance was also ‘nice’ but we were seated near a busy walkway so it wasn’t very relaxing. Food could have been a little better. For starters I had the breaded prawns and chilli dipping sauce. To be honest it looked like it was 6 small Iceland frozen breaded prawns and for £7.50 I felt it poor value for money. My husband and son had the chorizo scotch eggs which they said were lovely but they were small and came cut in half rolling about on a large half empty oval plate with a tiny bit of greenery on one side. I had the nut roast for my roast lunch, I was promised the nut roast was excellent….it was just ok, a lot of veg/stuffing and very few nuts. The veggie selection that came with it however was superb and possibly the best roast potatoes ever 🌟 My son and husband had the ham egg and chips which they enjoyed. Desserts were ok. Two of us had the Eaton mess but it’s made with shop bought hard cooked meringue which isn’t as nice as a bit of good old gooey chewy meringue. It was really tasty if not my entire calories for the week. They did come up trumps though on my decaff tea as few places bother to offer this. Would I rush back, probably not but I would definitely recommend it for a nice meal and lovely service, which often is what makes a place great.

No music over the top of the conversation - wonderful! It should get six stars for that alone. Having the random mix of question cards from Trivial Pursuit was great addition to the tables. Food was great too.

As a Coeliac, it's fantastic to be able to have lunch at a pub where not only are lots of menu items marked gluten free 😊, but the food and service are also excellent. The waitress asked us if we had any food allergies, and I immediately felt able to relax. The cider batter gluten free fish and chips, no exaggeration, were the best I've ever tasted. The only thing that could be improved would be to turn the music down. This pub should go for Coeliac Society accreditation!

We booked for Sunday lunch today everything was perfect a warm friendly welcome fast service and amazing food. We will definitely be returning

What can you eat here? Friendly staff and good service.

We always dine here when we visit our friends in the village. Pleasant decor, friendly staff, good choice of very tasty food, good range of real ales, reasonably priced. Can't find anything negative to say.

We enjoy coming here when we visit the area. It's our go to favourite pub, we visited on Sunday and enjoyed a roast dinner. All of us had the triple roast which was yummy! Pork belly, beef and chicken. Fresh veg on the side and red wine gravy. I can say we didn't leave feeling hungry! Love this pub it never disappoints!

Me and my son visited a couple of days ago after staying at the best western nearby and thoroughly enjoyed the evening . Food was lovely

It is a lovely pub with great staff who went out of their way to serve us well.

Nice place to have a drink or something to eat

Excellent Service, Great Food . Fully Recommend.

Good food, but s long wait between ordering and getting food, had to remind a staff member to bring the last dessert.

Nice pub good food good atmosphere,shame we only visited as we had a family member at the hospice next door

Excellent pub, stopped here on our way to Bath to have a bite. Food was great, good selection of drinks, and great service. Parking is a bit limited, but usually roadside parking is available.

Lovely country pub, friendly helpful staff, good food and a nice garden. The spanish chorizo/chicken/polenta stew was amazing!

Came here wirh some friends as id heard excellent reviews! Booked on a friday evening, 7 of us. The pub was really busy with a great atmosphere,and lived up to every expectation. Service was attentive and friendly (the whole team were fantastic, and cant fault il) Fcod was so delicious, flavourful and tasty (if i wasnt married id ask the chef to marry me)! Highly recommend the crab on toast and spanish chicken casserole! Cant wait for our return vcisit in the not to distant future! X

First visit to The Seven Stars Nice ambience and nice family pub Had a great food. Thanks to Charlotte for serving us with smile

Perfect pub in a stunning part of the world with delicious food and great ales.

Good food and service despite being bisy

Walked up from the Kennet and Avon Canal and what a wonderful surprise. Food, service and atmosphere was simply outstanding. Wife and I even enjoyed the music selection! A definite 5 out of 5 from us. Try the chocolate and Guinness pud……….flipping lovely.

The food here was absolutely delicious. We have been fortunate to travel quite a bit and have had muscles in many different countries. These were absolutely the best we’ve ever eaten! The slow, roasted pork belly was stupendous, and the pork chop delicious. The service was a little inconsistent, but don’t let that hold you back. The food, the camaraderie with locals, and the beautiful atmosphere, are all on point. The total for the two of us , food and drinks came to £58.70

Food lovely, well presented, freshly cooked and delivered fairly swiftly, but some dishes could have done with a little more on them. Staff very attentive.

Wonderful late lunch here today. Table of 9 of us perfectly looked after and given lovely food. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food and great choice of different beers, staff are very friendly and very accommodating, highly recommend

Lovely pub, great range of beers, really tasty food.

High quality food, good ales and excellent service.

Pizza was great. Crispy but not burnt crust, cheese melted and dough cooked through.. Good coffee as well

First time visiting 1 week ago. The food was excellent and very good value for money, which seems rare at the moment. Staff also very good. Recommended

Popped her for lunch while travelling for work. What a find! Fantastic service 10/10 great food. I even went back to make sure all items had been billed. What value for money for the great quality of food!

Nothing special! London chain restaurant gone the usual way...

Good food and very good service.

We visited with family for a Sunday roast and we couldn’t have had a better experience. The welcome was warm, the food was delicious and the service was fantastic. We couldn’t fault a thing and are already looking forward to a return visit.

Great food and service. Very busy country pup with a varied menu.

Booked here for Sunday roast. The roast was superb and deliciously tasty. Veggies served in side dishes and ordered cauli cheese as extra.Both had belly pork which was very tender . The meal was plentiful, staff attentive. Price was normal for a good roast these days. We liked the trivial pursuit cards on the table too! Highly recommend.

Very friendly and helpful staff, lovely mulled wine

Excellent food, atmosphere and such good service,

A pub I have wanted to visit for some time. Very well restored inside, it retains a pub atmosphere while also being able to offer very good restaurant style food.

Wonderful lunch here today from the Christmas menu. The pub was packed, the fire was lit... it was perfect.

Rare to find people queuing to get in the pub before it opens. But there were some. I soon discovered why. Lovely welcoming staff, local ciders etc. Fabulous food at sensible price. AND a real sense of community here. And yet welcoming me as a...

Fabulous Sunday Lunch - triple roast was magnificent- sirloin of beef perfectly cooked, fennel pork belly superb and supreme chicken yummy! Really flavoursome - unfortunately no room for pudding:-( Lovely staff too!

Great food and service. A lovely venue for a family celebration. A wonderful evening! Thank you.
