The Antelope Inn in Wiltshire

Passing through came across the antelope hoping to get food , got a table gor 4 of us food was excellent very good value for money the service was excellent too thankyou highly recommended

Possibly the worst roast dinner ive ever had . Cold , vegetables well under cooked , over priced and looked like it had been been thrown on the plate , presentation was awful . We complained and manager didnt even apologise , just charged for 3 instead of 4 , bad customer service , wont be going back !!

Menu looked pretty good but we didn't get as far as ordering food because the lady behind the bar was very abrupt and really rude. Thought we would let it slide and then got served a drink in a filthy glass which made our minds up. Real shame as the pub is nice and the beer garden was very clean but we won't be returning.

Disgustingly over priced waited an hour for 2burgers and there was no one else in the pub, will be avoiding this place

This is a review of just the food and not a stay as trip advisor doesn't allow a separate review. We visited for Sunday lunch and the whole pub was empty at 1pm apart from a table of 4 with just tea and soft drinks.... first red flag. After being given a laminated menu which incidently in no way shape or form resembled the online menu that we had viewed before arrival, we chose roast beef and waited for our food to arrive. Roast was priced at £15.95 each so surely we could expect great things....? The dining room was cold, dated and very uninviting so we chose to sit in the bar. Strangely, no aroma of Sunday lunch whatsoever.... The pub had zero atmosphere or personality and our hearts sank when a dirty box with dirty mayo and ketchup bottles was brought to our table, with roast? On closer inspection there were even dirtier salt and pepper pots too.... we didn't partake. When our meals finally arrived we were at a loss for words. Aunt Bessie yorkshire pud took centre stage, the potatoes that had been described as golden roast potatoes on the menu, weren't, the beef was sliced by machine? thin, overcooked and a cheap cut ( think frozen Findus back in the day!), carrots, cauliflower and yellowing broccoli ( overcooked) completed the 'roast'. No sauces were offered and the best part of the meal was the gravy... The highlight of the meal was when the 'chef' came through to the bar half way through our meal and stood 6 feet away with his dirty towel/ teatowel tucked into his waistband... not sure if this could be called a badge of honour, perhaps just the benchmark for the pub in general really. Nobody came to the table to ask if everything was OK, it wasn't, if anyone cares, and after being mugged for a very mediocre meal we practically ran out of the pub, hungry and deflated! In the current climate I would love to be able to write a glowing review. We certainly try to eat out as often as possible but this is one establishment that should be given a wide berth. As a customer cleanliness is a must, please take note. Let this beautiful, old pub shine through and ditch the fairy lights, take the Christmas stickers off the windows, show some friendliness and customer service and PLEASE find someone who knows how to cook a good old fashioned Sunday lunch!! We most definitely won't be repeating this experience.

We booked as last minute guests while on a road trip across the country. Our room was a huge surprise! Well equipped, clean and comfortable. We booked a table for dinner and the staff were amazing and very attentive throughout our meal. The food was lovely and my husband was very pleased with his steak, which he said was cooked perfectly! We stayed for breakfast too and was served a good sized English breakfast, with plenty of toast and jams too. All in all our stay was pretty much perfect and we will visit again when over that side of England. The only thing I’d quite like to see next time is some more Vegan and meat free options for breakfast. ( my husband and I just swapped some food and made it work, which was fine) Thank you for such a lovely stay!

Dropped in with a friend for a quick drink. We sat quietly and discussed our personal lives. We spoke very quietly and we did not want to be overheard or interrupted. The lady behind the bar loudly informed us that as a Belarusian woman she could assure us that we were to blame for our personal issues. She then went on to sternly bark her advice as to how she believed we should live our lives. She then spoke to 2 other female staff members in their home language and clearly spoke about us as there followed over-the-shoulder looks in our direction and loud laughing. I am unsurprised that this particular pub was void of customers. It was empty apart from my friend and I. We ventured quickly across the road to the better pub in the village where several people were enjoying their privacy, a warm welcome, open fires with logs burning, and more importantly……friendly staff!!

Went for lunch with 3 friends. We ordered 2 starters 1 being olives which came with toast & olive oil + balsamic. We had to ask for the toast which was barely toasted & the olive oil+ balsamic dip never arrived. There was one vegan option which looked wonderful being an Asian salad with noodles easy choice for the vegan in the group - me. Unfortunately it wasn’t available & the only other option was a bowl of chips or jacket potato. The chips were not good & I left most, my friends also thought the same about their chips. No vegan dessert. All in all a disappointing lunch. I won’t be going again.

Service was pleasant, drinks were good, food was ok, time to table was absolutely appalling. 4 adults and 5 children, food arrived randomly and after extremely long waits. The last to arrive did so after 90 minutes. Such a shame.

The food continues to go down hill in this pub and the last two meals, one for dinner and one for lunch were a disaster. Service is slow and not particularly good. The one redeeming feature is the main bar which is comfortable, small and cosy.

We booked a table for a retirement lunch at the Antilope and I for one won’t be returning. The restaurant didn’t seem very busy when we arrived. Only one member of staff was taking orders/serving and service was really slow. We placed our orders and waited. One of our party of eight had to leave after we waited for over an hour for the food. He had already told the waitress, at the time he ordered, that he had to leave by a certain time because of a meeting he had to get to. The waitress recommended to him to order a burger as that would be quicker. When the food finally arrived, we told the waitress that our colleague had left and asked her to wrap up the food. She never apologised for the delay, just placed the food on the table (she didn’t offer to keep it warm in the kitchen). The food was fine, nothing special, and we had to ask whether we should go to the bar to pay after we finished our meals/drinks. The waitress never asked whether we wanted to order anything else. I went up to pay for myself and one other person. The waitress then had to get another lady (I assume she was the landlady) as she couldn’t work out how to split the bill. I wanted to pay for two mains and two drinks, but it all seemed very much of a hassle to them. I was paying for two drinks, one pint, one half pint, and was told that they are the same price (Diet Pepsi). I queried that and was then told a pint was £3.80 and the half was £3.30. When I noted that seemed expensive, the landlady told me in a very rude manner “well, that is just how much things cost now, you will just have to pay it”. I then queried that again, and also noted that because we waited so long for our food a discount may be appropriate. The landlady was not happy about that at all and continued to be rude towards me. She told me that I did not have the right to complain about the service. In the end she did agree to not charge me for the small Diet Pepsi. I certainly won’t be returning.

Had a lovely lunch - fast and very tasty, attentive and friendly fun staff. Wiltshire Ham, egg and chips - excellent portion of sweet tasty ham, with well cooked egg and chips! Scampi, chips and peas - good portion of a traditional pub meal

Les personnels ne sont pas du tout accueillant. Le patronne dispute ses employées devant les clients. Une fois que la commande soit enregistrée il y a un tas de questions (sauces etc). Ces extras sont payants, mais on l'apprends au moment de l'addition !! Café - mauvaise gamme. Petit déjeuner - pas du tout comme la photo !! Chambres très humide et mal entretenu

I understand it's during a pandemic ...but how hard is it to cook a decent burger and chips ...??...it was dry and flavourless. I payed extra for cheese and bacon , guess they forgot that bit ...my girlfriend orders the beer battered fish and chips and that was even dryer and she could not eat it ...I recommend a new chef and mabey some more staff and then it would be a great pub .

Three of us visit during August 2020 (eat out to help out). The two people I was with had visited the previous week, one had the steak and on that occasion was very happy with it. So when we visited we all decided to have the steak (sirloin). It was very disappointing, I can only described what we were served as sandwich steak, it was very thin and should not be described as steak. I would say that there weren't enough chips or other vegetable either. We realise that we should have complained at the time, but felt we shouldn't, these are difficult times for village pubs and restaurants. I will also mention that the menu was very limited, although this might be because some places were reducing their menus to take full advantage of the gov't scheme.

Great village pub with rooms. Food is honest pub grub and reasonably priced. Plenty of outside space. Room was practical and perfectly suitable for a one night stopover.

All I’m saying is excellent, great service, great food, brilliant all round. Would recommend and certainly come again, no competition.

What a disappointment. I last visited often a few years ago when the chef Kevin produced food that was exceptional in quality, presentation and flavour. I am afraid the food and drink on this visit was of poor quality. The steak ordered medium-rare was over done. The chips were deep fat fried, greasy and flavourless. The salad was yellow, basic and unimaginative. The coke and lemonade tasted stale and disgusting. The food quality is what I’d expect from a chain restaurant at a motorway services not that of a country village pub. I’m sorry but I will not be visiting again.

What a little gem this pub is......Matt,Nat and team always offer a warm welcome. The atmosphere is always calm and cosy, especially in the winter months. The Pizza’s are fantastic......and well worth a visit.

After six years I re-visited The Antelope to find it under new management - and what a pleasant surprise. The staff, behind the bar and the chef, were naturally friendly and welcoming as were the customers. A good laugh was had as well as a good meal perfectly cooked and well presented - thank you

Had a roast here last Sunday, the meat was Pork no other choices of meat the chef explained there was no crackling which was ok. The pork was very tender and lean but lacking in taste as if it was frozen. There very 3 very small potatoes 2 slices of carrot which was hard and soggy broccoli just 1 floret and a Yorkshire pudding which was definitely not home cooked. We asked for more veg which came very quickly and wasn’t a problem. Just a shame that the quality of the food wasn’t fresh. The staff were very friendly, but probably won’t go back

My wife and I were looking for somewhere close to Amebury so we could visit our son and family!Armed forces day is not a good time to try booking accomodation in an area that has so many armed forces!We managed to find a delux room at the antelope and we could not have been looked after better by the staff.Our room had a giant bed. A very good wardrobe and an excellent bathroom with a large bath and shower!!The inclusive breakfast is designed to suit all tastes ( including the folk from Finland that were there the same time as us!).It is set in a tiny village that is straight out of 1900's. Beautiful place to explore!!

Stayed there recently, which we had booked some weeks before. Advised on the day before that the room was not available due to it being flooded by the previous guest. They moved us to another room for which we were grateful. But £100/night for a b&b;? Unlikely to stay there again.

was working In the area and happened across the antelope. cane back 3 or 4 times. the staff are great. helpful and friendly happy to chat but not intrusive.I have to say, the pizza really is excellent! from the look of it the other food is equally good.it's located close to Stonehenge in the middle of some truly spectacular countryside. highly recommend it.

Very friendly and welcoming. Great attention paid to customer satisfaction. The best steaks we've had out in a long time and great breakfast. Dogs made very welcome. The Antelope is situated in the very quiet village of Upavon. An ideal nice quiet and comfortable base to visit all of the nearby Historic points of interest and picturesque countryside. Many thanks for a very relaxing weekend!

We went for a office lunch today to our local, we had heard there were new owners! The meal was awful. The pizza was a very thin base and the topping of tomato paste and cheese was nothing special. The baguettes were served with a rather limp looking salad, slightly burnt and uninspiring. The nachos were so bad, served with cream and not sour cream, a tiny pot of guacamole and a strange salsa. It came with jalapeños peppers, houmous and cucumber! Not sure if this was to make up for the lack of guacamole! The young lady serving us was very nice but the older lady very scary! We certainly won’t be going back.

Worst food I have ever eaten. When I returned my food no alternative was offered. Everything was clearly cooked from frozen. No apologies were given and I still ended up having to pay £20 for my partners meal as hers was almost edible. Staff were extremely rude and are not in any way experienced in customer service. I will never eat here again. Absolutely shocking!!

Had an excellent meal on our stay, great service from friendly staff. Will definitely stop off on my travels for a bite to eat

Dirty tables, really poor food, will not be returning unless there is a change in management. Shame, because it’s a lovely premises, beautiful old 16 centuary pub.

We went to the Antelope for a meal. Unfortunately very disappointing. No steak available even though it was on the menu, and the food we did have was of a very low standard. Sorry but would not recommend

I visited The Antelope Inn in December with a group of people. We were about 15 intotal. The staff looked after us really well. The food was delicious and there was a good selection of wines. I also stayed in Room 7, it was brilliant, ground floor and an amazing large bed and enormous bath. The breakfast also was great - staff were attentive and really great. Look forward to going back again if I am in the area. Thank you very much.

Friendly Host and staff newly refurbished rooms let down by awful food. Budget supermarket Breakfast cereals , cooked breakfasts vary in items and standard of preparation ,evening meals unbelievably poor in quantity and quality the Inn is fine but eat elsewhere

Stayed at the Antelope last night and it is definitely not to be recommended for business travellers. Breakfast is not served until 08:30! I explained that I had a morning meeting and had to leave at 07:45 but apparently that is too early for the hotel to serve any sort of breakfast!

Arrived on business with a colleague and checked into our rooms. Came back after eating at the pub across the road to find the host and removed my personal belongings into my colleagues room without my consent. We now have to find somewhere else to stay as she has moved someone into the room I had. My company will not use this place again and will not recommend!

We stop for drinks every Thursday after yoga! Always friendly and cost with a lovely interior. They deserve to be busier. I look forward to eating here

We stayed in this beautiful historic countryside pub for a long weekend and had a great time! The hosts were ever accommodating to meet us later in the evening, our room was with its own entrance which made it easy with the pram and all the things to take in and out for the kids, we also enjoyed our dinner in the evenings, highly recommend!

We had a nice family Sunday lunch here. Friendly pub with good food and good service. Well kept beer.

Beautiful and super clean B&B; with good breakfast. Stayed there couple of times and will come back very soon. Highly recommend!

We visited here for Sunday lunch and were pleasantly suprised to be served a meal to be most satisfying. Although Sunday roast was the only option available the pork loin served with a delicious crab apple jelly and roast lamb with rosemary and garlic were both superbly cooked and presented with an array of various vegetables that are not commonly served in everyday franchised establishments.

What a great place to stay, we stayed with Matt and Natasha for a week at the end of July and were made to feel very welcome. Very pleasant rooms, great chef (Kevin) always had a spare sausage for Bella our spaniel in the morning.Great beers and food.

We stayed here for 2 nights in July 2018, the pub has just been taken over by new management and I can’t say enough about how welcome Matt made us feel.

This is our 4th stay at The Antelope over the past few years. Unfortunately the previous owners left a couple of weeks ago and the new owners have much work to do, particularly in relation to customer service and serving breakfast. Whilst the new manager is polite and welcoming, his wife/partner is very definitely brusque and at times, almost rude. When we asked for a hairdryer she argued that there was definitely one in our room which there was not. Despite some confusion regarding our room booking for 2 nights, we were given the room we had requested. It was clean but the duvet cover was torn in 2 places and there was a meagre supply of tea and coffee. The bathroom had a lovely sunken bath and separate large shower which would have justified the £100 per night if it were not for the chaotic nature of breakfast on both mornings. The manager's wife was managing breakfast and quite simply doesn't have the customer care skills required for front-of-house working. In between sitting outside smoking cigarettes, she was in the restaurant but working on her own and unable to keep up with the work. Tables were not 'set' for breakfast and it was unclear as to what they were serving and where things were e.g. Tea, coffee as the manager's wife just didn't explain anything and seemed quite disineterested. Previously used tables remained uncleared for the whole breakfast period. Cereals, milk, jam, juice and a cofffee machine were on the bar and also a hot water 'boiler' which 'spurted' boiling water out of the machine almost burning people as they made a cup of tea. Our order was taken wrong on both mornings and we were challenged on our choices e.g. I ordered bacon, susage, beans and toast and was told, "well that's only half a full English, are you Welsh or something?". On the second morning, my husband asked for white bread and butter and was given toast. He again asked for bread and the lady loudly put the toast plate on the next table, clapped her hands (most bizarre), returned with the bread, clapped her hands again without speaking!! On leaving, they attempted to charge us for breakfast which we challenged and this was taken off the bill. Be aware, breakfasts are now only 'continental' and if you require a full English, you will be charged an additional £7.50 per breakfast. Whilst the chef cooked a good breakfast, this is spoilt by the attitude, behaviour and ambience of the manager's wife. There was also the matter of the cleaner repeatedly walking through the breakfast room with 4 children in tow during breakfast times. The manager was very happy for our feedback this morning and we did acknowledge they have only been running the Antelope Inn for 2 weeks so still very much work in progress. We wish them well and hope to return in the future but only if the service improves. The whole pub/restaurant/rooms require minor returns to 'freshen' the place and justify the rates.

Tried to enjoy an evening with friends, table was booked but booking not found when we arrived. Waited ages for service and the risotto was inedible, due to the long wait we were then told we could not order dessert as the kitchen had closed.

Beautiful traditional British pub set in a lovely village. The staff are very welcoming and provide excellent food front of a real log fire. The pub has a cosy traditional feel and there's further seating to the rear for those wishing to dine. Would highly recommend

Stopped in the area unexpectedly and popped into the Antelope Inn.

Stopped by on our way South to find a warning open fire in the bar where we were served by the friendly and super-efficient Frankie who was also charm itself in dealing with a large Christmas party all of whom wanted separate drinks bills!

My first visit here, very nice beer but food not so good. Fish & chips took one hour to arrive, fish was OK but the chips (which looked like they had come from a packet) were barely warm and were awful. Then there was only a tablespoon of peas.

We were a large party so apologies to other diners if we were noisy. Both the food and service was first class in every way. The food was served very close together and was very hot. Excellent so thank you very much.

Stopped here on our way from Cornwall (via stonehenge) to Lechlade for a light lunch. My partner said that his beef sandwich melted on his tongue. My prawn and crayfish sandwich was gorgeous. It had a friendly atmosphere and would recommend it to anyone.

We had to eat early as I had a meeting to attend. The full menu was available - I chose the steak and kidney pudding. Really excellent - best I have had for a long time.

Qué lugar tan encantador, la comida excelente, el personal amable y acogedor, limpio y cómodo. Cuatro de nosotros estuvimos aquí en domingo - siguiendo un paseo guiado alrededor de Stonehenge (brillante mirada en alas sobre Stonehenge para excelentes tours de la zona). Estábamos justo antes de las 2 pm, pero el amable personal nos recibió y nos dijo que podíamos pedir comida. Desde el menú de larga y variada elegimos una cena con asado (carne), croquetas caseras, huevo, casera sobresaliente y un hígado de pollo patatas fritas y paté para mi amigo con un pequeño apetito. A los 5 minutos, la camarera estaba de vuelta con disculpas profusa, no sin mi amigo paté - paté de caballa en vez aceptar? También hubo sólo un fishcake izquierda quiero elegir algo o tiene un pedazo de pescado - optamos por esta última opción. También nos ofrecieron una bebida de cortesía como disculpa por las molestias. Wow - cuando la comida llegó, nos quedamos impresionados. Cena con asado fue un plato completamente cubiertas con rodajas de carne con una salsa casera. En la parte superior el mayor yorkshire que he visto, el cual aparentemente tenía un asado en el medio! parsnip ! Roasties y una selección de verduras coloridas fresca acompañada. Sobresaliente de mi marido estaba igualmente espectacular - plato cubierto con casera (con qué frecuencia sobresaliente el menú dicen que es casera, pero en cuya casa! ! Una pila de) - patatas fritas crujientes y precioso dos huevos. Él estaba en el cielo! Como a los dos "alternativas": la mía era una encantadora adecuadamente con un fishcake caseros selección de tres salsas (incluido un chili dulce), un montón de patatas fritas y ensalada vestidos, y luego también una porción de pescado rebozado crujiente estaba muy bien - que por fuera y jugosas y suaves por dentro. Si este era un sustituto - tal vez outght para mantenerlo en el menú. Estaba delicioso. Mi amigo era igualmente ciertamente intimidado con su almuerzo, un plato de paté de caballa servida con tostadas de masa agria, fue acompañada por un montón de suculentos, langostinos y una jugosa el mejor salmón ahumado que había comido - tanto por un plato pequeño (pero sólo estábamos cobrará un precio de arranque). La comida y el servicio no puede ser culpada, incluso el "doggy bag" mi amigo solicite para el salmón, volvimos en un recipiente de plástico con ensalada y cuñas de limón cena - perfecto para su dijo.

Siempre nos hemos conducido el pasado, pero esta noche Antelope decidimos dejar para una comida (7 p. m. en un viernes). En Upavon no es la mejor, pero tiene un tamaño razonable jardín. También tiene un buen aparcamiento y ofrece una sorprendente pub dentro.

My wife and I had a feast at the Antelope Inn on Saturday, it was fantastic, we had our families...

Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida cuando llegamos al antílope, que tiene una comida hermosa; bandejas con una selección muy bien elegida de carne, verduras y frutas (figs. . . ñam ñam! El ambiente en el) pub era cálido y amable, y el propietario, Jim y casera; Linda conversó con nosotros y otros clientes conseguir todos nosotros juntos para una velada entretenida bromas alegres y risas. Nuestro alojamiento estaba impecablemente limpio, muy cómodo y bien equipado, con una gran bañera grande y enorme, cabina de ducha. A la mañana siguiente disfrutamos de un desayuno perfecto y nos dieron de abundante información de lugares para visitar. Terminamos en Salisbury y vimos la carta magna.

Had a meal with friends on a Tuesday evening and the food was excellent along with the service. Drink prices were on the high side but food was superb.

Stopped for lunch with my daughter and enquired with regard to catering for food allergies. The chef actually came out and sat at the table with us to explain and reassure us as to what was in his home made dishes and how he would happily adapt various things if he could. The attention to care was second to none.Not the cheapest menu in the world but the food was delicious and worth the price without shadow of a doubt. Cosy table in the bar, nice and clean. It was a pleasure to while away the time before pushing on with out journey. The young man behind the bar had given us a friendly welcome and nothing was too much trouble as we ordered drinks and so on. Very nice latte too!Highly recommend the Moroccan lamb as well as the Wiltshire sausage. My daughter was delighted by the tasty gravy and caramelised onions!Car park available.Will certainly go back next time we're passing.

We had a Friday evening dinner here and it did all you could ask for. Friendly staff, good value pub food and a good selection of beers/wines. It was a busy Friday so the atmosphere was also good. Food was presented quickly and was tasty and excellent value. Recommended

We have just moved to Enford and decided to try some local pubs with our friend. We popped into the Antelope for a late lunch about 3pm. The service was brilliant and the food was excellent. It was a lovely cost little pub with a real countryside feel about it (helped by the local shoot being in the bar). Will definitely return!

Popped in for a spot of birthday lunch with my fiancee and daughter. The three of us Absolutely loved the food, and felt so comfortable in a lovely old cosy pub... we will definitely be back very soon...Highly recommend the breaded Brie as a main absolutely fantastic

No problems. Staff, mostly Linda, marvellous. Room clean and tidy. Reasonably priced meals in restaurant, breakfast also excellent.

I live locally and eat here several times a year, always good food and service and a lovely location.

I have just eaten the best roast beef ever and my husband enjoyed his fish cakes too. The presentation was absolutely marvellous and portion size large but I loved my vegetables being served on a side dish so I could help myself. The mashed swede was delicious and sprouts nice and hot. The roast potatoes, parsnips and Yorkshire pudding were just right. The beef was perfect on the side of rare which meant a melt in the mouth taste and the homemade horseradish was a nice touch. Service was fantastic and we both agreed for the quality of the food the price was excellent. As The Antelope Inn is not local to us we have put it in our sat nav so if we are ever in the area we can visit again. Though we noticed the ensuite accommodation so I might persuade the husband for a break away. What a lovely find I am a bit stuffed now though!

We returned to stay at The Antelope almost one year from our first visit. The accommodation for a country pub is far above average. Since our last visit, 3 more rooms had been built. All beautifully and tastefully appointed - amazing bathrooms. Linda and Jim - great hosts, amazing breakfast and pub food. Excellent stay!

We have never been disappointed with the quality of the food at the Antilope. After a sociable drink and get together with friends, served by very friendly staff we decided to have takeaway F &C, delicious thank you.

Coming over from Cornwall we just wanted a quick bite before heading to our B&B. This was our first visit to the Antilope and it sure was worthwhile. The bar was not too busy (only 2 costumers) The food arrived quite quickly. The fish risotte was good as was the cider and ale.Friendly staff.

Me and my wife went for Domingo to eat there this afternoon, meals were cold and had to be sent back and when we had own food back was bad to a point I could not eat it.

Can only give it 1 star as our food never arrived. We were in on a Sunday and were told the kitchen had been busy but was still open. Our drinks arrived but after over an hour's wait we asked about our lunch and were told there was no record of the order. At the same time they told another customer that there was a long wait for food so we gave up. The building itself is an interesting old place with timber beams

Night out in a proper country pub in Upavon. Good selection of ciders, lagers and ales including Wadworths beers. The friendly staff made us feel very welcome. Good pub menu and specials board. Pizzas were excellent and seafood risotto a big dish. Hot food, generous portions. Good service - nothing too much trouble. Tables busy and a great atmosphere of diners and drinkers.

Hungry after visiting the Urchfont Scarecrow Festival our family were looking for a suitable eatery for our dinner on the way home. Came across the Antelope Inn in Upavon on a Bank Holiday Sunday at around 5pm. Were they serving food - yes they were. Menu had good selection, starters around £6 - we had nachos and pate, they were very tasty, good size portions and beautifully presented. Next for mains, 28day aged rump (£14), Morrocan Lamb and the chicken curry (both £11). Steak was beautiful and came with thick cut chips (v good), mushrooms, tomatoes and salad. The other two dishes were very tasty with lots of big pieces of meat in the sauces. We finished off with choc sponge and sticky toffee sponge (£5). Again good sizes portions nicely presented. (maybe from Costco?, but they tasted good!) So all in all a very good meal, nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff and a happy family! Would we come back - definitely! We live almost an hour away - but have saved it in our satnav!

Stopped in Upavon while passing through and found The Antelope serving Sunday roast, which The Ship was not. The waiter/barman was very affable and very quickly provided four meals that kept us in our seats, until we continued our journey. Ideal.

We went here just after Christmas! Didn't know what to expect but we had a superb meal, best I've had in a while! Little pricey but so worth it! Staff were great too. Will definitely be returning!

We dropped in on spec. late on a Bank Holiday weekend. Pub like it was very quiet. Daily specials and fair priced food. Staff friendly and helpful. We had a variety of dishes and found them all good fresh, well made and presented. Outside seating. Toilets fine. Small car park to side/rear.

We went to this this pub having bought a steak and wine Groupon voucher. The lady behind the bar was really welcoming, friendly and chatty. She let us pick out table and sorted our drinks out. Having chosen our staters they soon arrived. Now I like my food hot and oh boy didn't they achieve that. Our mains came out once we'd finished and again it was delicious. There is one word of warning is give you about going to this place, don't eat for a day or two before as the portions are huge !!! You most certainly get your monies worth and I'd have no hesitation in returning for sure.

We came in for a bite to eat on Sunday, my companions had the Sunday Roast, I ordered the Wild Mushroom Ragu. The waitress told me this could be served as a Sunday roast as well and I went along.When the food came out we were really disappointed. Chainsaw needed for the potatoes, cauliflower cheese was cold, broccoli was watery, not a lot of lamb for the gents and my Ragu came sloshing in its dish. If it had been served with some bread or rice I could at least have mopped the liquid up.When I asked the waitress about the mushroom soup, she just said the chef always cooked it like that and that was it. Maybe the chef should spend a little more time in the kitchen and less time behind the bar, chatting..Full price charged for all three of us,(+-£12 not cheap for a sunday roast) whereas I had only managed to fish some of the mushrooms out and left the rest of the dish. I felt cheated.A chef that cannot cook a Sunday Roast and clearly has no idea what a ragu should be like brings this place down. Such a shame, since it seemed a nice pub.Will not return.

Sehr frisches Essen in einem urigen Ambiente. kein Wunder das Gebäude ist um 1600 gebaut worden. Ich hatte als sonntags special roast lamb. Das war vorzüglich. Sehr zart und lecker. Zu jedem Gericht gibt es frisches saisonionales Gemüse. Also Essen tip top!!Der einzige kleine Kritikpunkt ist, dass mir die Portionen etwas zu klein waren.

Went here with family for a lunch time treat. The pub is lovely and cosey perfect for a nice drink. However the food wasn't great atall, Curry that was unedible (tasted like perfume) Ham was tough so only ate the chips & over cooked hard egg! We didn't even bother with pudding as the mains were a let down. Shame as it's a lovely Pub, I would return but only for a friendly drink.

I often use the antelope as my regular pub to go and visit my friends!I always eat when I am here and cannot fault the food! My signature dish I often have is the seafood risotto! This is lovely, thoroughly cooked, and very filling!The staff and management are very welcoming and often go out of their way to help you and make you feel welcome!The interior is extremely welcoming and cosy! Often accompanied by a large open fire at this time of year! All in all, would highly recommend this pub! PS, dog treats and water bowl ready for the four legged varieties too!! :)

Have had lunch and dinner here a few times whilst staying with family nearby , the food and prices are average -nothing stands out .The Inn is rather cramped for space and lacks atmosphere , partly due to the fact that it is quite small ,the food is okay for the price but there are far better Inn's in the local area .It is fine for walking to if you live nearby .

Wonderful lunch after visiting Stonehenge and on our way to Avebury. Good food and wonderful place and polite people. Want to come back!

Not many people in - late lunchtime but sandwiches made to order to beautiful and very generous portions. Platters also very good. Friendly. Just what we needed.

Stopped on our way to Devizes, nice place, young lady behind the bar in the evening at 7pm was great and a star.I have ticked Excellent because of her.P.S very personal thing but could have done with some garden peas with my Ham Egg and Chips, got what I asked for Ham Egg and Chips, I should have asked for some peas too.

Two of us went for lunch and it was the worst meal and staff attitude I have experienced. I had sausage and mash but the potato wasn't even mashed! And not just slightly poor there were several pebble sized bits of potato.The other meal was a chicken breast burger and the burger tasted as if it had just been lightly heated from the freezer. It was the driest chicken I've had.I complained and a middle aged, dark haired lady said she would go and speak to the chef... Then never returned but instead another waitress gave us the full bill... I waited still for someone to come and no one did so went to the bar and she simply said "thats just the way the mash comes sometimes (not mashed)". She didn't offer to reduce the bill or even offer an apology for the poor food and instead got into a strop and said "well if you aren't happy then don't pay", grabbed the bill and walked off. The only plus about visiting the area is that there's a pub over the road called The Ship which is nice

good quality food,try the steak suet pudding if you have a big appetite! really good atmosphere and dog friendly. highly recommended.

Returning to South Wales from Brighton spotted on way and decide to stop for break/lunch. Ended up all three of us having fish and chips. It was delicious. Fish was white, no bones and beautiful light batter. Chips were lovely - only complaint couldn't finish it all!!

We found this great little place on our way through from Stone Henge to Avebury Henge - what a find!It was a wet & miserable day and we managed to have a steak & kidney suit pie for lunch .....So delicious ... The decor is something to wander around and check out - great history & atmosphere!There are rooms upstairs - so would be worth a stay and meet more of the locals !Absolutely recommend a visit to this enchanting wayside stop !Leanne & Barry

Sad to see a village pub closed more often than open but at least it is still trading.Popular with the former RAF Upavon lads, this village pub also offers a range of meals and has accommodation. During our visit in August 2015 the place was closed in the afternoons so we had to nip across the road to other pub.Even so, the place is open in evenings and weekends and well worth a visit if your nearby.

We stopped here for lunch after visiting Stonehenge and were very impressed with everything. The whole place shines with cleanliness. The lady serving at the bar asked if my husband wanted ice, ( which he didn't ) but usually he is just given ice without being asked. The food was excellent. A proper steak pudding is hard to find and with homemade gravy too. All in all, a great experience. I would recommend.

Very delicious pub lunch with just a touch of flair. Very friendly bar staff, it was a pleasure to stop here. Service was super efficient without feeling rushed. Recommended if you take the back roads between Stonehenge and Avebury.

A friendly, warm welcoming pub in the heart of Upavon village. Myself and my daughter decided to pop in for some supper, the menu had lots of variety and would meet everyone's needs. I had the new goats cheese and raspberry salad totally amazing, fajitas to share which came with a choice of chicken, steak or veg or combination of them all, the dessert was out of this world, marinated strawberries on a meringue nest with a strawberry/Cointreau syrup topped with ice cream. I would totally recommend a visit

Jim and Linda and all the bar staff are so welcoming and really go out of their way to be helpful. Lovely food at a very reasonable price. A great place to meet up with friends and a plus that dogs are also welcome.

Really impressed. Menu not too complicated. Food was excellent, as was the service, and prices were very reasonable. Sat at a table in the bar area which has a really nice decor. Highly recommended.

Stayed here whilst in Upavon for work and dined there in the evening for work dinner.I love this place!! Friendly welcoming staff, obviously dealt with different staff morning and evening and they were consistently friendly and helpful. Rooms are lovely and also spotless.And the food! Wow!! Firstly I have to praise them on how well they catered for our very large party when we dined there in the evening. Without exception everybody enjoyed their meal, testament to this is the fact that we all have our work dinner there every time we have a conference now! For what appears to be a relatively small establishment they managed to cater to a very high standard for a large number of people, very impressive.Breakfast was also delicious with no let up in standard and service even though there was only one lady singlehandedly catering for myself and the other colleague who had stayed over. Much prefer this to the 5 star hotel down the road I ended up in a few meetings ago!

A warm welcome awaited us here after a great bike ride from Westbury. Serious door-stopping sandwiches served with chips and salad in this cheerful pub helped to make it a good morning's cycling.

We were drawn to this pub by the sign advertising the best pork-probably, and in fairness the pork was excellent and beautifully cooked a good choice of the veg although the roasties could have been better. There seemed to be a degree of chaos possibly caused by inexperienced staff. We should not have to ask for serviettes, and if you are going to serve half a pig on the plate do not serve apple sauce in an egg cup. I know you can ask for more and we did but again we shouldn't have to. Having said that it was a warm welcoming and comfortable pub.

Having had a couple of good meals here we booked our staff Christmas social. How disappointing! Soup that was burnt but still served (although replaced when we complained), needing to ask for cutlery and generally slow service and the party night option booked not happening.

We had a mid-week family meal and ordered 5 meals. 1 from the 'normal' menu, 1 pizza and 3 specials. All of the food was very tasty and the 2 people that had fish were very impressed with how fresh it tasted. Very well presented and although a slightly longer than average wait for the food when it came it was very good. We only ordered one chocolate tart for pudding which we all had a little taste of, very rich and chocolately!! Over all a very good evening was had by all. Would definitely recommend.

We liked the menus fresh Dover sole and the rump steaks ! Mmmmmmm very tasty , good service as well .The bar is well stoked and Guinness on tap

Friendly staff and management and really good down to earth food which was also value for money (for a change)

Recently changed hands and has retained a good standard of food and comfort. I am not a Wadworth's fan so will not comment about the beer but the choice of other beverages is extensive.

Last Friday we visited the Antelope for a very special leaving do. We had pre-booked our table and food a week before. They were more than happy to cater for 30 people and said 'the tables would be all ready for you and food served from 7:15-7:30pm!' We all arrived around 6:30 to get some drinks in. First impressions were a lovely welcoming family-run pub and we were looking forward to the meal. We were called to the table just before half 7 to the back 'function room'. None of the tables were set up, instead there was a table that seated 6 people and 4 tables that seated 4 people all spread out around the room.The staff were very unwilling to help us so we had to set the tables up by ourselves, this took us round half hour!! We were then 2 seats short so 2 of our friends had to stay at the bar without us!! The young waitress then said that it would be easier to bring the starters and mains out together...so 5-10 mins later, the nacho starters arrived but NO mains! The first lots of mains which were the fish & chips were bought out around 20 mins later then next were the burgers around 15 mins later (by which point most people were already half way through their food). We also asked for sauces with our meal and they continued to bring out nearly empty ketchup bottles and brown sauce instead of the BBQ sauce we asked for! The steaks came out next - this was around 8:45pm. I asked specifically for medium-rare and my steak was 'over well done', even the steak knife struggled!! Those who had the fish & chips and burgers had already eaten their food and were still waiting for other people to be served their food! There were 3 absentees and so we informed them we would have 3 extra dishes. 8:55pm so still no sign of anymore food. One of our friends has diabetes and still hadn't eaten, nearly 2 hours after food was expected!! The waitress bought out more food, called it out, we explained all we needed was the fish cakes and 2 ham, egg & chips! She had bought out more steak which we explained wasn't ours but she said 'this is what you ordered, we're following the email you sent!'. She then left the food on the table to go cold whilst she disappeared back to the kitchen to fetch the food we had asked for. She returned with NO food yet again and said 'this food is for another table, sorry but the rest of your food will be out shortly' It was at least another 15 mins later, the fish cakes arrived very cold and dry then the ham, eggs and chips served on a scolding hot plate but with stone cold food! By this point, the majority of us had left the table to start paying separately for our food because it was now nearly 9:30pm!! It was very stressful and also very upsetting because this was a leaving do and we wanted it to be special for our colleague who was going back to Ireland and we wouldn't see for a very long time! It was probably around 9:45pm once everyone had finished eating and we had to form 'an orderly queue' at the bar to pay for our food! Emotionally and physically exhausted by the experience, we thought it was best to speak to the manager. We explained the situation, that we were very disappointed with a) the service b) the food and c) the fact the tables weren't ready for us and that 2 of our friends had to sit alone at the bar without us! The manager didn't seem to have a care in the world and said 'well you all still have to pay full price for your food!'. She then came back after some thought about it and offered us 3 bottles of white wine and said we didn't have to pay for the extra food that came out for our absent friends! Kind enough gesture but it was too late and not good enough!! They clearly are not organised, cannot cater for that amount of people and had the opportunity to say it a week before but were just clearly thinking of all the money they would make!! (sounds harsh but its true)!We did try to make a good night out of it and stayed until 12am - one of the young lads who worked there, bought out a bottle of Prosecco and apologised to our friend whose leaving do it was for. Very nice of him, its just a shame that sort of service wasn't available at the start of the night!To make matters worse, i had texts from two of my friends the next day to say that they had been violently sick (they had both had the fish & chips) and so put this down to food poisoning!! I cannot express how disappointed i am in this place, it has left a bad taste in our mouths and not a positive memory of what was supposed to be a lovely send off for an amazing man! VERY GUTTED AND WILL NOT BE COMING BACK!! P.S. We received an email a few days later from the manager apologising for the bad experience but that it wasn't THEIR fault that 7 YES 7 people did not show up for the meal hence extra food!! They also need to get their facts right as this was not the case, we had explained there were 3 people absent NOT 7!!!
