The Bolingbroke Hotel, Pub And Restaurant in Wiltshire

Having ate here before and had a good time I thought it would be good for a birthday meal for 4 on a Monday lunch time how disappointing it was. 2 Steak & Stiton pies ordered although very tasty lacked Stiton and was meant to be served with veg we had to ask for the veg which when it arrived after several minutes the excuse was we only have 2 microwaves not the excuse I wanted, the other 2 meals were fine,unfortunately we will not go back.

We had a wonderful 1-night stay at the Bolingbroke Arms in September on our way to Cornwall. The family room was spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet and the breakfast was amazing (especially the full English!) All of the staff we encountered were polite, attentive, friendly and helpful. A real gem of a place that we certainly wouldn’t hesitate in recommending and will definitely come and stay again. Thank you so much.

We had a lovely family meal here. The waitress was lovely, polite and very attentive. The food was reasonably priced tasty and plenty of it. My only recommendation would be to invest in some nice wine glasses! The glasses are very cheap and a nice glass would make all the difference

We stayed for a couple of nights in June. Food was excellent! Rooms nice! Staff extremely friendly and helpful! Highly recommended

I’m so disappointed! Years ago the Bolingbroke food was amazing. Last September, 4 of us booked Sunday lunch for 2:30, when we arrived to order they had run out of everything! Had the most awful Sunday lunch for an extortionate price ! Tonight we thought we’d give it another chance, our first choice they didn’t have, this was not deleted from menu, so had to quickly order something else. The steak we ordered was way over done, the plate was half full of salad ? Sauces were awful ! And someone emptied a salt cellar in the mashed potato. We were asked if the meal was ok by a manager (maybe) while a waitress was talking to us, so couldn’t answer. Very disappointed, we can’t afford these prices very often, a completely ruined birthday dinner. Still trying to get rid of the salt taste from my mouth. Gave the Bolingbroke another chance, wish I hadn’t !!

A very disappointing first and last visit for Sunday lunch. We were greeted, shown to a table and brought drinks and from there it all went downhill. Ignored for 25 minutes, order taken finally, food came. Completely black yorkshire pudding which should never have made it on to the plate. The rest of the veg were nice aside from obviously frozen roast potatoes. Meat ok. Completely ignored by staff again as they rearranged tables. Not asked if our meal was OK, not asked if we wanted more drinks, plates not cleared, not asked if we wanted a dessert. We gave up waiting and got up to leave and a young male waiter came over and asked if we'd finished? I complained about the inedible, burnt Yorkshire pudding, to which he shrugged and replied that it was "out of my hands". I suggested he could relay the information to the kitchen. At the bar, we complained about the awful service and burnt yorkshire pudding when we went to pay. They apologised but made no effort to rectify our disappointment. Staff clearly need some hospitality training.

Awful service, FROZEN ROAST POTATOES, screaming children BURNT BAKEWELL TART I wouldn't have served it at home let alone in a restaurant - this place is nothing better than a supermarket cafe.

We went for lunch as a party of sixteen. Fantastic menu, with lots of choice to suit everyone, food was delicious and portions incredibly generous! Coeliacs (gluten free) well catered for and staff knowledgeable and attentive. The service was great and everyone was friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back again! Many thanks!

I and 2 friends had Sunday Lunch here last Sunday. Two of us had the Beef and Yorkshire pudding. The BEEF WAS VERY CHEWY & YORKSHIRES WERE BLACK!!! This was very disappointing, although I will say there was a very good choice of vegetables, that were nicely cooked. Penny Clark pennyswabey@yahoo.com

Absolutely excellent staff. We came here for my Dads wake, at such an emotional time all the staff were so lovely, kind, caring, attentive and professional. Nothing was too much trouble, the food was very good and so much of it. My husband and I stayed the night in a very clean and modern room, comfortable bed and pillows with crisp white towels. The lady that served us breakfast was also excellent and very friendly. Breakfast was excellent too, lovely produce and very tasty. Overall it was perfect, will definitely return. Thank you Bollingbroke.

Nice pub, plenty of parking and quick service. The food was nice but I think had been kept warm (roast spuds were hard to cut) which is the only reason I didn't give a score of 5. We will try it again in a couple of months, maybe a bit earlier.

Fabulous meal. Lovely relaxing g atmosphere. Generous portions. Hot chips. Well prepared steaks with gorgeous accompanying salad. Liver and bacon was delicious. Fab sausage and mash. Lots of hot & tasty vegetables to share. Pork with Stilton sauce divine! Can’t wait to go back!

We had great service with excellent food in a really relaxed setting. What a wonderful evening. I keep thinking of the delicious entrée I had so will have to go back soon. Thank you

Great hotel, our room was very light and airy with decent black out curtains for a good nights sleep. Dinner and breakfast were top class but beware, you will need to start with an empty stomach as the portions are more than generous. Very friendly staff and excellent Arkells beer to add to the experience.

Great location great accommodation clean and Spacious . Food exceptional ! Accommodation and facility very convenient for a short term stay. Thank You

The food was nice. Good value. Veg overcooked. We had pork and lamb shank. Large portions but not presented nicely. Everything comes with broccoli, round cut carrots and pickled cabbage. Chips looked very unappealing. The menu has a great range of dishes to choose from. Not sure I would rush back

The most fantastic meal! We had been let down after booking at a nearby chain restaurant, so we were Hangry. We called the Bolingbroke and they had availability. The service was friendly. The food was quite obvious cooked on site and everyone enjoyed their meals. We all left feeling calm and full. We will definitely be back!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Everything was wonderful, the staff were fantastic, the food was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. We met Joe the owners, she was absolutely charming and so lovely to chat to. Barney the dog was wonderful. I wish Joe and her team ran my local that is all I can say!!! Thank you all.

Had a really nice meal with friends one Monday evening. Two of us had the beef and Stilton pies which were excellent. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was very friendly also.

On arrival we were horrified to find that the pub had no record of our telephone reservation, however they managed to accommodate us and we enjoyed a brilliant family Sunday Roast Dinner here. There was a good choice of roast meats, or alternatively other mains. The portion sizes were excellent with generous dishes of 5 different vegetables. Everything our group had was delicious and all our plates were cleared!! Desserts were also wonderful, again a good range of hot puddings and cold desserts. The service was prompt and efficient. For future visits it would be nice to be reassured that the booking was recorded in the table reservation system!! It was only this aspect of our experience that detracted from a 5 star review

This venue hosted both a pre funeral family meal and wake for 30. The facilities, food and staff were excellent. Lunch was fresh - poached salmon, meat and cheese platter etc. The reasonably priced wake had a selection of tasty sandwiches, homemade sausage roll (a particular favourite), scones and cake (lemon drizzle and carrot cake) with tea and coffee. Well placed just 3 miles from N Wilts crematorium.

Very enjoyable visit for a single night. Pleasant, very clean room. Had an evening meal here which was tasty and good value. Breakfast was excellent and served by a very jolly welsh lady. And at a good price too. Have already booked for a second visit next month.

Stayed for one night. On Hotels.com web site stated restaurant and bar but be aware these are both closed on a Sunday. Rooms was nice. Clean and comfy. Fan was well battered so good job we had brought out own

I don’t often do reviews but felt overwhelmed with frustration and anger at the manager of the Bolingbroke pub. we had arranged a wedding for the venue explaining in detail our requirements. We had around 40 guests for the day, rising to 85 in the evening which for a large venue should have been an easy event to organize. Communication with the manager was ok prior to the wedding however on our day the manager was unprofessional, arrogant, and rude. Right from the offset Rob was asking abrupt question to our guests when they were setting out the room for the wedding and then continued to be grumpy and stressed throughout the day and evening with the guests and us. The food was lovely however questions regarding portion sizes were not answered prior to the event and thus we paid for more food than necessary. We questioned staff members about Rob being rude and they made it was quite clear that this was Rob’s normal behaviour. Personally, I feel if his attitude to paying guest and visitors to his pub is being rude and arrogant then I would hate to know how he treats his staff members. The final let down was when he decided to disclose to my wife after myself and other guests paid over £3000 for the final payments of the wedding event that our wedding was not a success and he is too old to put up with people, and then said in a grumpy tone “Oh by the way congratulations on your marriage. Horrible person.

Popped in on the off chance after the cinema. Had a delicious meal. We ate garlic mushrooms for starters which were absolutely delicious and then had liver and bacon and pork medallions for main. They were extremely flavoursome and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Could not manage a desert. We will definitely be back. 10/10.

This restaurant and venue is not as good as used to be. The menu barely changes and is very stodgy and wintery. The veg is over seasoned with a huge amount of pepper. The chicken is always overcooked so a bit chewy. It used to be the place to go, but with newer places opening it needs to move with the times and improve menu choice for food and wine as it quite basic now. The location is lovely but please make drop in drinks and nibbles and snacks a thing to work on as you would be a place to visit far more frequently. Time to move forwards Bolingbroke Arms, keep the charm but with far improved quality.

3 nuits passées dans ce charmant hôtel. Bien que ma chambre était située au dessus de la terrasse du bar...

We stayed overnight on our way to Bath the room was very clean , modern, quiet, and the food WOW the best liver& bacon if ever had !! Breakfast is also very nice !! Thankyou for making our stay lovely x

Very good Sunday Lunch, choice of all meats with option for small appetites, food all hot served on hot plates with vegetables and gravy placed on tables.

Very weird vegetarian option. Was supposed to be meat loaf slices but looked like a plate of mush in gravy. One half of a very crisp roast potato and one boiled potato. Nice selection of vegetables. The dessert of mixed berry pavlova was delicious however...

Just recently moved to Swindon so when the family came to visit, I had the task of finding a suitable pub for Sunday lunch. We were all delighted with this place. The staff were friendly & hospitable. The place was exceptionally busy with several parties...

I went for lunch here on a Friday afternoon with a friend and our two daughters (aged 7 months and 14 months). We were kindly offered a table straight away even though we hadn't booked. The food was absolutely delicious. However, a single member of staff made us feel very uncomfortable about having young children there with us. She made it clear the highchairs and single pram were in the way, despite us making sure all other people could get to their table next to us (and another waiter telling us it was fine). We were there for an hour and a half and were waiting for the bill for the last 15 minutes. During this time, my 14 month old was pottering around the pub with me supervising behind her at all times. She was quiet, didn't bother any other customers (unless they started chatting to her) and I kept checking to keep out of the way of staff delivering food. We saw the same member of staff roll her eyes and tut at me, and again, just made us feel very unwelcome and in the way. Neither of our daughters cried, they both sat quietly during the meal and I don't feel were disruptive to other customers. The other members of staff were very pleasant. It states clearly on the website that they 'welcome children' but this is not at all how we felt and will not be returning, despite the lovely food. I'm sure it would be a lovely place to eat if you did not have young children but we were very disappointed.

Had a lovely evening meal..with family..food plentiful..nice and hot..lots to choose from the menu..I shared pavlova it was huge and delicious..well done all...will defo be back..

Very nice lunchtime menu - the Burritos were to die for. Lots of choice and not expensive. Lovely staff Returned for dinner last night. Lovely menu choices and very nice well trained staff. The candlelight ambience is really good.

Meet friends here for a meal it is a lovely pub nicely done up the food was excellent would definitely recommend

Had a nice not so little dinner on one random night at this restaurant'shotel. There's a lovely garden too. Our meals arrived quickly and they were very nice. Spot on peppercorn sauce and steak too. Would definitely recommend.

This could be a fantastic pub restaurant, however, they need to up their game. The menu doesn't change & the specials aren't great. It's such a shame because it has a lovely bar, lovely sunny garden, but the food let's it down!

Visited the Bolingbroke Arms with family for Sunday lunch. We had the roast beef and roast pork and everyone really enjoyed the food. Definitely the nicest Sunday roast I’ve had in a long time. Sadly unable to make it to dessert but settled for a nice coffee. The desserts did look great from what we saw. The jelly beans when paying was a nice touch. We definitely go back.

I popped in here while staying locally. The barman was helpful, attentive and friendly. The beers were good and well kept but the Chicken, Leak, Bacon & Cheese pie was just about the best I've ever had! Next time I am in the area I will definitely be back.

Was really looking forward to Sunday lunch as a treat for my birthday .l had the lamb and my husband had the beef. The meat was ok,nothing special. Very small amount of vegetables given which were not hot .Overall not up to what l was expecting as l had been recommended by friends,would not rush to come here again

I had my 50th Birthday party here on Friday. The manager Rob made booking & organising the surprise party very easy for my relatives. My daughter supplied decorations and when we arrived the table had been decorated beautifully! Nothing was to much trouble!

11 family and friends gathered at 1830 to celebrate a Birthday. The staff were exceptional. The barman was also the waiter and sommelier. He was very friendly, welcoming and efficient. The young waitress was equally efficient and friendly.

We have been here many time in the past and found the food excellent but not for the last say 3/4 years.

We booked as we were meant to see our cousins on way down to the in-laws who then couldn’t make it so booked in way back to see them Menu and food lovely and tasty - a real gem - spoilt for choice

Good food, good service for a large group. Friendly atmosphere. Drinks a bit on the pricey side. Downside it's an Arkells Pub

Me and my wife came here for dinner on a Friday night. When we arrived 4 waiting staff just watched us standing in the entrance hall having no idea what do even though we had reservations. Eventually after being greeted no offer if taking our jackets was made, however, there is no place to put your jacket anyway other than the back of your chair.

A group of family members stayed at the hotel for 4-5 nights this month and took the majority of our meals in the pub. This is a place for people wanting an enjoyable, friendly meal and ambiance. The meals were delicious. I especially enjoyed the seafood, soups, and cheese plates. The staff is genuinely obliging and delightful, as are Ron and Jo. Highly recommend if you seek a great time over a good meal and/or accommodation in the countryside. Very quiet, good night's sleep in the rooms.

Really great food, nice pub and friendly staff but won't return as dogs are not allowed. Sat in the garden but as we had chosen the first rainy day in two months we had to eat fast and I had to miss out on pudding. Such a shame especially as most dog's are better behaved than children

Looking for somewhere to celebrate a 60th Birthday and decided to have Sunday lunch here. It was a good choice, food was excellent and although we had a little wait for the food, it was worth it. Good choice of roast meats - Lamb, Beef, Pork and Chicken. All served with a good amount of vegetables including baked Cauliflower Cheese.

Decided to try here for an early evening meal. Pub does not open until 1830 and we were fortunate to be able to secure the only 4 seater left. So booking recommended. Starters of garlic mushrooms, red pepper soup and scallops went down well. Mains of Bolingbroke burger, sirloin steak and pork medallions received mixed reviews. Burger nice but slightly dry so make sure you order something to compensate. Sirloin was asked to be well done but I would say it was well well done. All that said my pork in cider and stilton sauce was gorgeous. No room for pudding but will frequent again.

The menu has a good range of choices which is supplemented by the daily specials board. I started with goats cheese bruschetta and the wife had the scallops with pancetta. Bothe were very tasty and got the meal off to a good start. My chicken breast with bacon and mushrooms in a cream sauce was delicious and accompanied by some great chunky fries and a bowl of freshly prepared vegetables. The portion of slow braised beef with bubble and squeak was huge and appetising. Service was fine as to expected as the restaurant was quiet.

Looking for something a little better than your average pub, we settled on this. Good menu choices plus specials board. Very generous portions and very tasty. Well worth the little extra - £35 per head.

We were taken here for a treat by our son and daughter in law and what a treat it was. A specials board that was sooo good we had a job to make a choice, and a main menu that had so many lovely dishes we had a job deciding!!

We were well looked after by the staff. The food disappointed a little. Veg very hard. Promptly dealt with. The pork and the chicken were a bit dry. Have eaten here before and it was excellent. Thus the 4th star otherwise 3.

Went with a friend it was a better experience than our last visit. Food and service was good and we all enjoyed our meals if honest expensive for what it was though.

A clean, well decorated restaurant with attentive staff, who welcomed us. Our meal was excellent and we were not rushed to vacate our table. A previous visit, some years ago, was not good - the landlord was surly and unwelcoming - what a difference this time.

Had a very good meal here . Staff very friendly and polite. Food was served quickly and was excellent. Its not exactly cheap but you get what you pay for in this instance and would certainly eat here again.

Whilst the menu is good and the quality of the food good (with a few very minor criticisms) the service in this restaurant last night was appalling. It was very full, which is a good sign, but it was too full and uncomfortably hot. There were 11 in our party. After arrival no waiting staff came near our table for an hour. We had to get our own drinks from the bar. Our starters arrived an hour and a half after we sat down. Our mains an hour after that, and then one order was wrong. After any course, the tables were not cleared for a good half hour or longer. We had to ask for a desert menu because the staff thought that clearing an empty table was more important that serving paying customers. We would not recommend it nor would we return.

We have had a fabulous family meal today. The staff were very friendly and helpful and it made my mums birthday. Thank you all so much.

Called in just after Christmas with a party of 5 and dined in the restaurant. Good choice of always tasty Arkells ales and usual range of other drinks. I liked the menu I suppose as a bit of an antidote to Christmas allowing a nice choice of lighter items. I had the very big really tasty cheese and mushroom omelette with new potatoes and salad at a reasonable £9.50. For dessert the apple crumble with a Christmas twist was truly excellent £6.95. Other members of the party had such as tasty hot and delicious burrito at £10.50. Service enhanced by positive friendly welcome and knowledge in general of the staff.

Found the Bolingbroke Arms Hotel via TripAdvisor. Excellent reviews were very accurate.

A good varied menu with a board of specials. The vegetables are all cooked fresh. The meals are quite large so we can usually only manage a main course. Others seem to manage though.

Hemos estado con la intención de visitar este restaurante por algún tiempo, ya que con regularidad en el camino de la M4, así que reservamos muy recientemente para una comida familiar los sábados por la noche.

El bolly es siempre fiable, nunca hemos tenido una mala comida! Siempre un buen servicio y buena comida lo único negativo es que el menú no ha cambiado!

Reservamos el Bolingbroke para una cena de pre-boda para nuestro sobrino y su esposa, y no nos decepcionó. Nos pedidos nuestra comida y todo salió completamente al plan. Comida de todo el mundo se entregó correctamente, caliente y delicioso. El personal era atento pero discreto,...

He tenido varias comidas muy buena en los brazos Bolingbroke en el pasado, así lo esperábamos lo mismo durante mi visita más reciente. El Tigre entrante de gambas estaba bien, pero las gambas eran bastante pequeñas, aunque sabía bien. Mi selección de las setas crema...

Decidimos reservar en el último minuto y muy contentos de haberlo hecho. Personal muy amable, magnífica comida y buenas porciones de tamaño a un precio razonable. El servicio no podrá ser criticada. Sin duda volveremos.

Really friendly welcome on arrival. Tables not too close together - we sat in the conservatory. When taking the order we were given a very helpful and realistic "timetable" so that we could order a starter if required. Our table had a variety of food. I had the liver and bacon which was delicious. We had also been advised of the large portion sizes prior to ordering and in fact I could not eat all of my superb meal sadly. Prices of main courses vary, ours from £11.50 to £14.50.

Went on Saturday night booked table for 7.30pm. To be honest I thought it would be heaving but it wasn't very busy. We ordered drinks at the bar a beer 2 wines and a coke which was nearly£18. We were then shown to our tables after looking at the specials board by the door. We were in the dining room and we were greeted by a screaming very young child on the opposite table.....not great!We looked at the menus then ordered our mains we skipped starters as we were told the deserts were great so we were all going to have one of them instead. We ordered 2 lamb fillets a lamb shank and a steak and stilton pie like other reviews it seemed to take an age to arrive we timed it to nearly an hour. In fairness it was lovely when it eventually arrived but for the price not very large fillets or shank. The lamb came with mash potato and a selection of veg which was nice.We then ordered our desserts two cheesecakes a crumble and cheese board. The cheesecake was Baileys and honeycomb both of us could not find any honeycomb in ours at all and told the waitress. The crumble was according to the menu served warm but it was stone cold again we told the waitress who took it away and warmed it up. The cheese board was good as you had 3 choices of cheese and a selection of crackers and chutney. So for £115 for 4 people it was not as good as it should be and to be honest we were all a bit disappointed.

I used to frequent this restaurant regularly many years ago , and decided the re-return this week hoping for another pleasant experience. If you are into your wines and like to read the description - types of fruit in the wine before you choose , then please double check what you are ordering is exactly what you receive. The wine we chose was meant to have Blueberries , Raspberries (If I remember rightly) and chocolate , however when it arrived and we tried a few mouthfuls and then read the description on the bottle it actually stated it contained Cranberries , and perhaps one fruit from the description on the menu. We do not like Cranberries in wine and if we would of known this we would of chosen a different wine from the menu. My partner mentioned this to one member of staff who just said "Thanks for letting us know" no mention of a reduced price , or please choose another bottle , many apologies. We continued to drink the bottle (although not very enjoyable) since we were having to pay for it. We then both ordered the Pork Tenderloins with Cheesy Dumplings and Vegetables. They were able to provide this Gluten Free for my partner , although he had to skip the Dumplings and they gave him Mash instead of the Chips like myself (which were not GF) This was all fine , although for my partner his meal was a lot smaller due to the Dumpling loss - because of this you would of thought they would of perhaps given him some additional Pork to the meal? I myself could not fault the Chips , Dumplings or Pork , although we both agreed the Veg was very over cooked! At no point did any staff member come and ask if our meal was ok.We decided not to give a tip at the end (mainly due to the wine issue) although another staff member - pleasant waitress re apologised to us when we paid our bill regarding the wine. She explained that since we mentioned the typo's on the wine menu they had actually spotted several, and they had only recently been printed, so they would be discussing this with the supplier.Unfortunately I don't think we will go back after this is , although it is a lovely pub and we did enjoy parts of the meal, at no point were we offered a reduction of the bill, or for us to choose another bottle of wine from the menu to compensate the mistake.

Returning customer, I know this to be a banker rather than a 'wow' and so it proved.Menu decent, rustic interior and plenty of outdoor area. Service a bit laboured but that is down to individuals rather than all.Its decent place for lunch and you can be in and out in a reasonable time span, I'd recommend and revisit.

We were looking for somewhere different to go for dinner and decided to try the Bolingbrook. Arrival was pleasant and greeted nicely. Bar team very friendly and offered to start tab. Dinner was excellent, lamb shank and beef and Stilton pie. Food was served very quickly and was piping hot, very rare these days. Great experience and will return.

We lunched here with friends who had been here a number of times before and who had spoken highly of the food. Others had also said similar.We only had mains and desserts. The braised steak was swamped in nothing other than a gelatinous goo which was unattractive and not very tasty. The red cabbage looked dry and unattractively "dusty and discoloured" although this turned out to be ground nutmeg. Weird. The pavlova was adorned with rather bitter forest fruits of the frozen variety rather than fresh and sweeter fruits and the strawberry coulis did little to help sweeten this 8 quid dessert.On the whole a little pricey for some dissappointing dishes. For 2 course lunch, at nearly £25 a head excl. drinks, we would expect better than this.

Saturday evening visit for 4 of us. Drinks first then the first signal of delay was ignored it was sometime before we received menu and for order to be taken. It was busy with almost all tables occupied. Perhaps we should have ordered starters as our mains took about 45 mins after order. Each person ordered different mains and sweets. We all agreed the food was well cooked and presentedWould visit again if no excessive delays which we experienced.

A rainy night so we decided to eat out. This is not a rush you in and rush you out pub so we had a relaxed 2 hour meal. The staff were friendly and came to see if we were ok a few times. The meal was piping hot, the vegetables done to perfection, We couldnt fault it and would go again in a flash

Visited recently, the pub wasn't too busy, but lunch took about 45 minutes to appear from ordering. Food was ok, nothing very special, staff were courteous but the pub felt cold and unwelcoming. Ladies toilets need attention, two toilets, one had a seat which was broken, and the other one, the seat was split. Shame because this place could be so good. Would we go again - not sure

Over 60 of us were crammed into the room which was very hot. The waitresses couldnt get between the tables to serve the meals so plates had to be passed down. Vegetables were slow to cone out so food got cold.

Cosy atmosphere, friendly staff, and a very nice Sunday roast at a decent price. We will definitely go again and recommend it to others.

Friend and I enjoyed pork fillet with cheese dumplings . Very good. The homemade bakewell tart was delicious . Friendly service. Great welcoming pub restaurant . Will return.

Six of us called for lunch today after reading reviews on trip advisor. We were not disappointed. A warm welcome was followed by plentiful grub that everyone enjoyed.We shall return.

We popped it for lunch without booking.Quite a choice on the menu and some specials.I like the fact that they do other vegetables and potatoes in different ways,skins,lovely chips and mash. Loved the coconut creme brûlée as well

We always have a table in the bar. Lovely bottle of Sauvignon, a steak and a fab gluten free chicken dish with chips. Yum yum yum

Sometimes pub grub can be a real hit or miss. I have not been to this restaurant for many years but on recommendation of my neighbours decided to give it a visit on a last minute lunch out. Nice surprise. We sat in the bar area which can be less noisy as the main restaurant tends to get large groups. The food was fresh and tasted very homemade. It was quite a pleasant surprise and i would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good pub meal.

We took visitors on a Friday eve at 8.30. The waitress came to take our orders very quickly and when we said we needed a few more minutes she said 'You do know the kitchen closes at 9?'. The food was pleasent enough, but the waitresses were clearing away almost as we were chewing our last mouthfuls. We wont be back.

Having been here a few times and always had a great time i had no worries but i was very disappointed , the service was horrendously slow , 20 minutes for our order to be taken , then after another 10 minutes i was told what i ordered was not available ! The starter came and everybody enjoyed it despite the wait . Then we waited and waited and waited for the main course eventually after an HOUR , YES AN HOUR !!!!!!!!!!Had i been here just with my wife i would have walked out long before this but it was a family birthday so i didnt .The food was ok and i didnt hear any serious complaints from our party .We then waited again for about 20-25 for the sweet order to be taken and again we waited for it to arrive , two of them must have been standing in the kitchen for a long time as my ice cream was almost liquid all the way through and a sorbet was the same , these two were not paid for !Nobody said a lot about the service at our table as i think we didnt want to upset my father who was paying and he i thought was annoyed at a family meal being spoiled by all the problems we had .Overall the service was terribly slow and the staff seemed a little clueless and not really sure what order was what !This is a shame as in the past this place has been great , i will now be very reluctant on going back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

went there for lunch, the food was ok as was the dessert, we had a basic coffee, instant or filtered and one drink each, the bill was an eye watering £350 for 14 of us. No way was it worth this much, will not be going again.

Dopo tanti anni sono tornato in questo caratteristico e tipico albergo e ristorante immerso nella campagna dello Wiltshire, vicino a Swindon.Il posto è assolutamente tipico. Abbiamo pernottato in una delle loro camere ben arredate e grandi con tutto quello che serve anche per un soggiorno di una settimana.La cena è stata a base di carne e sidro. Ottima! La colazione era a richiesta, quindi o tipica continentale oppure inglese.Andateci senza indugio ne rimarrete anche voi soddisfatti.

We have visited this pub restaurant for birthdays a few times over the last couple of years. They are especially helpful when it comes to adapting or making a vegan option. As a veggie my partner is a vegan and it's a relief when we can eat with comfort and ease.The staff are excellent and the food is good all round. The only point is that as a group of more than four people they put you in the dining area which lacks atmosphere and is certainly not intimate. However as an overall experience it's a pretty good place. I'd recommend it for a good lunch or dinner

Great pub/guest house.Superb menu, and real ale.Rooms very good with great facilities. Location very good 5mins from the M4

Stopped in for Sunday lunch - the pork was tasty and not at all dry, the accompanying vegeables were plentiful and cooked perfectly. Went back later in the week to see how it faired of an evening as hubby is having to stop there for a few weeks, once again I wasn't disappoined with the food. Liver and bacon was delicious, hubby had pork medallions served with cheese dumplings, they were to die for - again, fab veggies to accompany the mains.
