The Carriers in Wiltshire

Stayed overnight here and enjoyed a wonderful ful fry up in the morning. Rooms were nice, tidy and modern while the pub was charmingly rustic.

What a wonderful discovery a real village pub just like the ones of oy youth (when was that!!) Great landlord, great company great food great overnight stay. Yes it was great!!

Closed for a couple of weeks in March while the new owners redecorated - popped in Friday night for some lovely fish and chips!

Had the most fabulous evening David the landlord was so welcoming and friendly. And his wife Karen is the chef, the food is just wonderful lovely lamb shank. And the whiskey sponge was to die for. Can't wait till I'm in the area again!

Save your time and money . Find somewhere else to go. Service was absolutely dreadful, glass very dirty. Food was well.....uneadible....and felt unwell afterwards.

Quaint little village pub with some nice accomodation above - skipped dinner but had a wonderful full English in the morning. Lovely hosts aswell.

A lot of pubs these days go for an 'authentic' rustic vibe. Not The Carriers Arms, this is as authentic and rustic as you can get, it was almost like a trip back in time, from the decor to the air stained with the smell of a real fire. The room we stayed in was a million miles from this, modern, smart, well maintained. The bed was comfy and there were lots of choices for tea and coffee in the room, even a few biscuits too. The bathroom was also well maintained and smartly decorated. Breakfast was exceptional, everything was cooked well and very tasty, very fresh too. Great coffee, ice cold selection of fresh juices. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.

What an amazing experience this is. Makes The Slaughtered Lamb look like the Ritz. Don't stray from the path......

We had a lovely overnight stay at the Carrier arms It is situated in a picturesque village with lovely walks We had an excellent evening meal The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome

Delicious Sunday roast - one of the best roast beef we’ve had. Helpful staff. Set in a pretty village.

Lovely welcoming village pub. Delicious meal for both adults and little people. Could not have made us feel more welcome with a 2 year old from owners and locals. Stress free evening. A must visit.

Unexpected delightful find on a Sunday night on the way back from travelling. Most welcome , tasty good pub grub. Service quick and efficient and an excellent choice for gluten free diets. Would definitely recommend and visit when using the A303 again.

We were lucky enough to visit during the last day of our stay with friends locally., the pub had been closed for the first two weeks of our visit while they were modernizing the kitchen. We enjoyed a lovely roast dinner - with all the trimmings - the food was delicious and seemed popular as every other table was occupied!

Work booked me in to stay here overnight while I was working in the area, a delightful little place in a charming English village. Comfortable, well appointed rooms, ended up working late but they had keys available to collect in secure outside key box so it was no hassle.

We stopped in at the Carriers on our way home from Longleat to try their roast dinners and were pleasantly surprised that unlike some places that only offer full roasts on a Sunday they also offered a selection of panni's and basket meals which suited the little ones perfectly. We had a roast beef and a stuffed chicken breast with a crispy apple dumpling dessert to share and were thoroughly impressed. Unlike most pubs the beef was cooked to perfection (my husband commented that it was probably the best we have had outside of London) and there was plenty of veg on the side!

My husband and I enjoyed a delightful weekend away at the Carriers arms, dining both here for Fish friday and at their other pub for sunday lunch before heading home. Quaint rooms and very comfortable, just wish the weather had been better so we might have enjoyed the garden!

Visited in early October - was really impressed with the food - insanely tender beef roast - and the fantastic service. Really welcoming and understanding of our needs. Will go again!

Stopped at the Carrier's as if is along a lovely Wiltshire cycle route, enjoyed calarmi and chips with a pint of golden ale (brewed on site!)

Stopped in for a pint, lovely local ales in a quaint little pub. Not much in terms of food but more of a drinks place, lovely atmosphere and beer garden tho!

Very friendly and welcoming. A great traditional country pub. Good beer and great food. We will definitely be back soon.

Stopped in for a pint while out walking, most excellent selection of ales and a most charming little pub!

We visited the pub twice during our holidays in the area, also enjoying a delicious dinner on one of the nights. The Carriers are very much worth a visit: a definition of an excellent local, family-owned pub. The landlords are very welcoming and friendly. Dogs are very welcome in the pub but be mindful of the two resident cats - best to ask the landlords about the situation when you arrive!

My partners family and I were invited to a wedding not far away from this beautiful place.The rooms were beautiful, comfy and had everything we needed. And the owners were incredibly lovely and talkative people. I am vegan and they completely went all out for me to eat at breakfast, even though it wasn’t on their menu. Thank you for being so accommodating, we will certainly be back soon

The pub is situated in a rural village, but is worth a visit as it has a community feel about it and serves good quality food.

Fantastic food!! Big portions and extremely well priced!!! And very welcoming The Covid regs very we’ll out in place and felt extremely same After seeing some other reviews I’m rather confused as to how someone could say it was poor!!! Most definitely will be visiting again

A quaint little pub with rather friendly landlord/landlady, however we stopped visiting during the summer as it became obvious they didnt care about covid protocols, everyone was still crowded around the bar and noone was socially distancing.More of a drinkers pub than an eating pub so understandable that its harder to enforce social distancing but some effort would have been nice... also no parking :(

Lovely little country pub, highly recommend! The owners are so friendly and helpful. They were very accommodating considering our late working hours. Rooms are beautiful and cosy with comfortable beds. The cuddly cats that live in the pub were a bonus too. Looking forward to either coming back for work or for a nice weekend away with the hubby.

Great take away food, supporting the local community during lockdown. Burgers were large and very tasty, great fish and chips and the pies are magic

We had a really good takeaway chicken korma, with all the trimmings including rice, popadums, nam, chutneys etc. Washed down with a pint of their cold larger. Couldn't have been nicer. A great way to start the Lock-down. Thank you Steve and Jean.

Lovely little typically English country Pub, pool table and a beautiful beer garden! Glad I decided to pop in !!

Stayed here on a Saturday night while visiting family. Booked in in afternoon and had a quick beer, was shown around the property and how to get access to the room if we were late. Slightly small room but okay for an overnight, really cosy, clean room with a nice clean bright shower room. Free WiFi, tv, tea and coffee facilities. The pub was still open when we got in so we had a night cap, of course, really friendly landlord and landlady and cat . Really comfortable bed, nearly overslept! Full English breakfast with good quality bacon, sausages, etc, with good coffee, toast etc.Overall had a lovely stay. Oh and the pub is an authentic, old, English pub, worth visiting even if only for the food, drinks and ambiance.

After a recent trip to the LONGLEAT FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS, We were fortunate enough to spend TWO NIGHTS at the CARRIERS INN in Stockton Park village. The hosts Steve and Jean were very pleasant and welcoming to their lovely Inn. The inn has a nice homely feel to it olde worldly infact. The bedrooms of which there are 3, are tastefully done and all ensuite. We ate at the inn both nights and the food was really good and a good choice too. Steve and Jean do all the cooking and and are ably assisted by the young waitress Emma. There was/is a lovely open log fire which set the homely feel even more,(but that depends on the time of year). There was also a pool table and a dart board to have a game on (which we did) and even had James one of the locals scoring for us. The locals are all very friendly and good for local knowledge. They also have live music which goes down very well with the locals and people from a far. There are lots of places within a short drive to visit from the CARRIERS. Stourhead house and lake. Longleat, Lacock village (N/Trust) Bath (easier by train from Warminster) to name but a few. The Carriers also has a nice little garden which we will be frequenting in the summer days. All in all, after a drive out visiting some of the sights, a welcome return to the CARRIERS for a well earned drink from a well stocked bar and a spot of real home cooked food from Steve and Jean, find yourself a seat and settle down for the evenings entertainment. We will definitely be giving it another visit in the coming new year.

I stayed at this lovely inn with my family. We were visiting the lantern festival at Longleat and this was a very convenient place to stay. We received a warm welcome and shown to our rooms which were very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed a delicious dinner on the Saturday evening and a hearty breakfast on Sunday morning. I would wholeheartedly recommend staying here and hope to return myself at some time in the future.

Brilliant pub and Steve and Jean were very welcoming.About 20 minutes from Longleat Safari and the light show (which was good too).Room very clean and the food was excellent - we will return maybe when the weather is nicer.Special mention to one of the locals "James" who was so very kind and chatty - in fact all the locals were very friendly and welcoming.

I arrived having mistakenly thought pub was in Warminster. This was entirely my fault. I was shown to a pleasant clean room and they had a well kept pint in the bar with a log fire. I spent the evening in Warminster via public transport.The following day had breakfast with fantastic bacon. The wrather had deteriorated and there wre no buses. The landlord kindly ran me into town. He was the epitome of mine host. I will visit again.

Made to feel right at home Can’t wait to go back A little gem with a great atmosphere , drinks and food

We stayed here for one night, and we couldn’t have been happier, the owners have done a marvellous job in restoring this pub. We arrived and were greeted by the owners, nothing was too much trouble, our stay was great, really comfortable rooms, the evening meal and breakfast we had was superb! Everyone in the pub was super friendly and accommodating. Really couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. If we ever find ourselves back in this part of the country we will definitely be staying here again.

We stayed at this charming, friendly pup for 6 nights. We couldn't of been made to feel more welcome, the room, food and service was excellent. We are already planning for our next visit, it is well situated for access to the coast and visitor attractions in and around Salisbury and Warminster. This wonderful village pup is in Stockon, which is set back from the A36 and in easy reach of the A303.

Quick stop off en route to Frome. Friendly welcome from landlord, good service, good beer and a nice meal. Reasonably priced too. Clean toilets and friendly locals. Go there you'll not be disappointed.

We stumbled across this venue enroute home on a long journey. Despite being closed Steve the fabulous landlord invited us in anyway and fed and watered us. Food was great, enjoyed in the lovely little garden. A definite visit if you are in the area. Thank you Steve

We stayed here last weekend as a stop over. Very friendly owners, very welcoming, food great. Nice little village

Had a wonderful family meal here today. Staff were great, beautiful building with pretty well kept garden.Dog friendly. Food was superb and so was the service. Made for a special time for all.Highly recommended.

This pub is set in the delightful quiet town of Stockton. Steve and Jean were so friendly and informed us of local interests. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the food was fantastic. I will look forward to a return visit.

Found The Carriers online & from the reviews felt it would be a good place to stay overnight with friends after visiting Stonehenge. What a fabulous pub and B&B; it is, we were welcomed as friends from the moment we walked in, and made to feel completely at home. Steve & Jean are superb hosts, the food is great, & the atmosphere in the bar very relaxed & comfortable. Beds were comfy, rooms clean & smart; & even the cats are friendly! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, & would most definitely use again if in the area.

Welcoming pub. Great choice of drinks. Food menu was great. Beef bouginion was just melt in your mouth. Hearty portions and piping hot! Dog friendly too. Win win. Lovely.

My great friend and I live two hours apart and we decided to meet and stay more or less halfway between us. I saw that the reviews of The Carriers were really good but you never really know if it’s going to be somewhere that’s right for you. I can honestly say that it surpassed our expectatations by far.....we were made to feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble and the food was great. We’re definitely going back.

Visited here on a Sunday lunchtime with family. Great little pub, parking a little difficult along the road but worth the bother.

Very pleasant stay. The owners are very friendly and welcoming.

My partner and I stayed here under two months ago. We were looking for somewhere close to Longleat Safari and Bath. We booked rather close to the time of travelling and found The Carriers!

We had the most amazing time at The Carriers pub. We booked in for 4 nights recently, Jean and Steve made us feel very welcome and they have done a wonderful job in refurbishing the bedrooms, along with the colourful garden. The breakfasts were very plentiful and delicious. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return sometime in the future.

Steve and Jean were excellent hosts. Our room was perfect as was the breakfast. The regulars were all very friendly and welcoming too. We really felt like this was our local. Great music and home made food. We had a lovely time here and are looking forward to returning.

Jean, Steve and Trudi are amazing hosts. The pub is so traditional and extremley charming, I was travelling alone as a female and was made to feel completely at ease from the moment i stepped through the door. Jean, Steve and Trudi are amazingly warm people and create a very inviting atmosphere.

A very welcome break on the long trip home from Cornwall to London. Chosen as so close to Stonehenge and Longleat (for the children) - a great experience. Steve and Jeanie were so welcoming and accommodating with a lovely atmosphere, great food and not to forget the Pool table - a great hit! Beautiful walks and a lovely time - thank you both so much!

Under new management and welcoming. First time staying as an overnight guest. Room was ok (slightly musty) but landlord's welcome was arm and he couldn't do enough. Has only been there 11 weeks and I wish him well. The Carriers is a firm favourite as a watering hole for those of us who visit Stockton regular to visit friends and the village deserves to have a thriving pub.

Just visited the Carriers with my Partner his daughter and son in law we have had a lovely evening with excellent food. The owner and his wife are so friendly, the home cooked food is superb with the most generous helpings. The locals around the bar engaged as we left. We know the Publican and his wife have only been in situ for nine weeks and we wish them every success and we will be going back. If your in the area looking for good pub food go no further than The Carriers.

Went here today after finding it after a morning out is Langford Lakes. Very welcoming and really nice roast, lots of meat and plenty of vegetables, good value at £12 a head. Nice garden at the back, would definitely go back. Thank you.

Las compañías es un viejo pub amable y acogedor en una hermosa parte del mundo. Un gran ambiente, maravilloso jardín con estanque y bastante mesa de billar para un poco competitiva de jugar. El personal, propietario y casera no podría ser más servicial y acogedor junto con los lugareños que frecuentan. Una visita obligada si en el Valle Wylye. Un pequeño paraíso a retirar desde el rápido ritmo de vida!

Casi nunca abierto, sólo comida vomitiva tarta superficial y patatas fritas ocasionalmente en la rara noche abierta. ¡Puaj! Tan sólo un par de kilómetros por la carretera y visita el Príncipe Leopold en Upton Lovell, Yum Yum Yum! ! !

Siempre nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos aquí. Esta vez tuvimos una mesa para la adultos y una separada para los dos chicos (5 y 7), perfecto! Disfrutamos de nuestra asados del domingo, pero estimó que la carne asada había crecido un poco más delgada. . . ¡No importa! También nos hubiese preferido que uno de los 3 postres para haber sido más fresco y afrutado. Aún así, estoy seguro de que todos volveremos, únicamente para la cálida bienvenida y el lugar perfecto para un pub del campo.

Had a traditional Sunday Roast which arrived nice and hot and all on the plate (no side dishes) and a delicious banoffee pie to follow, very reasonably priced and serve by friendly staff.

Good pub grub and beers at realistic prices. Warm welcome for you and your Dog. Perfect for a lunch on your country walk.

Really very pleased with this find, great pub lovely food and service. Quite large portions the fish was nice and fresh not at all greasy served with chips and mushy peas.

Excellent welcome with good service and meals to match. Good beers. Never stayed there, so no comment on rooms. Can get very busy, so book a table. Though thhey usually cope somehow. Good value,very slight drawback is street parking.though I have never been unable to...

Good home cooked food Opening and meal times bit confusing on websites, suggest phone to clarify times. We had a very warm welcome, our dog too!!

Limited menu on the board only but it was very good. The ham was from their own pigs, cured by the local butcher and home cooked and served with eggs and chips. Three big thick slices. Also had delicious local chicken and leek pies. All...

Pintas de cerveza perfectamente servida, excelente pub grub. Gran servicio y gente encantadora. Puede ser un poco frenética domingos pero llena es buena!!

Fantastic pub with a delious pie night. Never ate anything like it before. We are coming back next week but unfortunately not on pie night. Hopefully there will be some pies left!

Yesterday I celebrated my 80th birthday along with 20 family and friends at the Carriers Arms Stockton.The meal was excellant; served by friendly efficient staff in a cosy environment. Well done, we will definitely come againRon Collins.

My family and I had Sunday lunch at the Carriers, It was one of the best Sunday lunch we had ever eaten.Compliments to the chef.

A good honest country pub that caters well to locals and visitors alike. Don't bother going here if you are looking for fine dining, this is not that sort of place. Lunchtime when we went it was sandwiches or ploughmans. We both had a pork pie ploughman's lunch which was delicious and filling. Went back for an evening meal another day and as it was Thursday it was pie night, no other options. Two types of pie with either chips or mash. We both had the steak pie which was obviously home made, beautiful pastry, and chock full of tender meat. Great service and friendly bar staff make for a great night out.

A good pub in the country, where the dog are welcome in the lovely garden at rear or inside the pub. Very simple food but good for a lunch time

This lovely pub is tucked away on the back roads towards Salisbury. A charming pub, food was pleasant.

We popped in to the Carriers for a refreshment stop after visiting the village yesterday. We had tasty ham egg and chips out in the garden while my nephew admired the fish in the pond. Service was quick and food was definitely not cold but obviously freshly cooked. Not my first visit here and certainly won't be my last!!!

I had cold food served, as I started to eat it I noticed it getting colder and colder, just find this unexceptible for very cold food,,

after the good reviews I expected much more, food was so basic and lacked any choice. service was very slow taking around 40 minutes to clear our plates. Will not be returning again.

Had a great meal hear and the people are lovely, a great garden at the back. Will return. The roses out the front are especially beautiful.

This is the second time we have come to this pub to meet up for lunch with family. The welcome was as warm and friendly as before and to say this pub is child friendly, is understating it! The landlady is an extremely charming person and she kept on bringing puzzles and toys for the 5 and 3 year old to play with. The lunch was delicious and they managed to split an adult roast beef lunch into two for the 2 boys who like their beef. Very successful! The desserts, for those of us who had one, was also extremely yummy.We shall no doubt come again!

Two real alesCloses at 10 Tuesdays, Wednesdays & ThursdaysDartsStreet parking only and reasonable easy access (one step)

Visited with friends from Devon at the end of March, we were a little late arriving due to getting a little lost but not a problem thankfully! As a previous reviewer commented there isn't a car park but very easy to park outside. Had a lovely evening, very friendly staff and our food was lovely. The pub was busy, the restaurant especially. A nice touch at the end of service in that the chef/owner came out to chat with each table that was still occupied. Would visit again and may try for Sunday lunch next time.

booked this pub as en route to Cheddar it was a convenient stopping point just off the A303. It was Easter weekend and were a party of 6, service was great and food was fresh. Well worth the visit

We visited 'The Carriers' on the way to Center Parcs as we had seen the reviews on Trip Advisor.The village itself is straight off a chocolate box and gave us a good feeling of what was ahead. There isn't a car park but parking was no problem at all in the village lane.We received a very warm welcome and given a nice large table for myself, my wife and 3 boys. Our youngest Archie is 2 and he was given a high chair and numerous toys to occupy him as we were warned that there may be a little wait as the food was cooked freshly and we hadn't booked - not that this was a problem at all. The food came very quickly but we had enough time to enjoy a drink and relax in the very comfortable surroundings.The food itself was truly EXCELLENT! We had a mixture of dishes, Fish, Steak and Gammon amongst others and they were all worthy of a spot on master chef.We then indulged in dessert and the Sticky Toffee Pudding. Was to die for.There is only one problem with this pub/restaurant .......it is a 2 hour drive from my home!! Probably not a bad thing for my waistline though.If you are in this part of the world or heading to Center Parcs or Longleat, make sure you visit as it would be a crime to miss out! Thanks to the owners for a fabulous all round experience and being so welcoming to my family.

Went to The Carriers Arms for dinner recently and was very impressed. A charming, country pub, not at all pretentious and with a great local clientele. The food was delicious, very well presented and good value. A delightful little village surrounded by beautiful countryside, well worth visiting and popping into the pub.

We visited with friends and managed to park just outside the door which was lucky as my husband is disabled and there is no obvious car park. Yes the decor is somewhat jaded but the staff are helpful and friendly and our food was good, although the vegetarian option was not quite of the standard of the other meals which were perfect. Definately worth a visit.

Saw reviews of this place on trip advisor so thought we'd go out for a drive and see for ourselves. First thing is it's in a tiny little village. Second thing as soon as we walked in the Landlady gave us a great big smile. Staff very warm and polite. We had the Lyme Regis crab with rustic roll. It was delicious and presented with a small salad which was very fresh. On the down side the inside could do with a bit more decor and the outside is tired and in need of redecorating. In fairness the new owners haven't been there long so I'm sure its on the to do list. Looking forward to going there for an evening meal as we saw some having lunch there and it looked great. Definitely worth a visit.

4 of us came here for lunch because it had such a good write up on Tripadvisor. We were not disappointed. Food was excellent, the soup, the whitebait, the crab, the gammon and the chips (REAL CHIPS). And the young lady behind the bar served us to perfection. If you want a lovely meal freshly made then pop in, you will not be disappointed.Does it have any down sides......well...parking is a bit tight with no car park, but its not a real problem.........décor is a little jaded, but that adds to the atmosphere. Perhaps a lick of paint would help but honestly who cares

We visited this pub based on previous reviews. We were not disappointed. We didn't book but the owners were more than happy to take food orders despite it being early and them not expecting anyone in. The food was very good, very large portions and our sometimes fussy 18 month old also enjoyed her meal and polished off nearly the whole plateful. The owners were very accommodating to our daughter and brought her food out with our starters and gave her a toy to play with, and their young daughter also occupied her whilst we ate our main course. A very enjoyable night and well worth a visit.

This was my first visit & hopefully the first of many. Well worth the journey & at the end a wonderful lunch in a lovely country pub.

Having read previous reviews, we were encouraged to try The Carriers, despite it being a 45 minute drive. We were certainly not disappointed the food was absolutely delicious - I would highly recommend the garlic King prawns and the cod with ratatouille, both cooked beautifully and perfectly seasoned. The service was excellent and they were very friendly and accommodating. Little Holly (our 10 week old baby) and the rest of us will definitely back again! Thank you all for a lovely lunch!

Simply the best ... Warm welcoming feel with 5 star service, outstanding staff, in particular Julie the landlady.Pretty old world quaint pub, down a leafy lane , l recommend the ham , egg & chips, had a lovely table near the fire, really cosy & fantastic chocolate Fudge cake.Not to be missed, a real gem & look forward to returning again.

Myself and 4 friends visited on the way to centre parcs. We booked a table and when we arrived it was all ready and waiting for us. The lady behind the bar was an absolute delight and the food great value and delicious, the chips being the highlight! If your pass by, waiting to check into centre parks or just looking for a really good meal out - the carriers is the place to go!

Drawn to this establishment via a sign on the a36! - very good decision to take a detour.This really is an excellent country establishment - we were warmly welcomed and treated to an excellent Sunday lunch - the beef was succulent.The beer was well kept and the team behind the bar excellent.I would say that the Sunday lunch price did seem slightly high but I appreciate that costs have to be covered - would I go again? yes and I would certainly gladly pay for the lunch!

We went to The Carriers purely on reviews on Trip Advisor and we weren't disappointed. They say first impressions last. Well this is the first pub/restaurant that rang me back having not got to the phone in time and I'm very glad they did. The welcome we got was very warm and friendly and we were shown to a great table by the fire. Lovely! The menu was simple but covered all the essentials required of a roast dinner including three meat options and plenty on offer for our to children. The beef was fabulous and no silly fancy vegetables, just a wholesome, well cooked homey roasted selection. As well as the staff, the locals also made us feel very welcome which doesn't always happen in village pubs. The kids were given games to play whilst we enjoyed our deserts and treats from th staff when they finished their meals. I can't praise the place enough. Well done! We'll certainly be back. R King. Trowbridge

We had a lovely family meal here, which is a delightful pub restaurant in a very pretty village. The food was really fresh and delicious, and the owners were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We were a group of 11 and everything was done to make our visit enjoyable, and we certainly had a wonderful time. We all agreed that we would like to visit again. I can highly recommend a visit to The Carriers!

Three adults & 2 kids on our way from London to Longleat for the illuminations. Needed a lunch stop en route having come off the M4 heading south. Found this highly rated via tripadvisor and turned off our route. Very pleased we did - very friendly welcome and well looked after. Good menu and good food. Can't remember all the food but it included a chicken burger, ham egg & chips and a macaroni cheese for a vegetarian. A couple of beers and a few chats with the staff later and we were on our way. Many thanks, Michael.

Relaxed and cosy country pub....excellent roast lunch with great staff and locals! Can highly recommend.

We were looking to eat somewhere local that we hadn't been to before & after reading the reviews on trip advisor decided on The Carriers. We certainly weren't disappointed, made to feel very welcome & the food was excellent! Really could taste the quality of the produce...will definitely go back & would recommend it to anyone! A lovely, friendly village pub.

The Carriers is a proper pub with a warm, traditional atmosphere. Welcoming fire, locals at the bar, dartboard. All our meals were fabulous, would come back again. Service very friendly, accommodating and efficient - lovely waitress.

We stumbled across this wonderful olde English pub while exploring the beautiful Wylye Valley just north of Salisbury. A friendly landlady Julie greeted us with a beaming smile and helped us select from the comprehensive menu after pouring a couple of pints of delicious well kept real ale. We relaxed straight away after the stress of the A303 [which seemed a million miles away despite being only a few miles down the lane!]...almost like being in a time machine to when great customer service and genuine warm friendliness went hand in hand.My meal was 'melt in your mouth' Wiltshire ham and double fried chips....served promptly with all the trimmings including another beaming smile...fabulous! My wife's meal was equally delicious and exactly as ordered.Although the weather was against us we also sampled the quaint beer garden with pond and magnificent mature trees.....we'll be back again....thank you!

We became aware that this free house pub was under new ownership and decided to take a look. Set in a lovely Wiltshire village off the A36 we found a little gem, used by locals and others alike the former giving good feedback. A range of real ales on tap, a (very welcome) short menu where we just had a light "starter" for lunch which was excellent. The owners have only been in for a few weeks but apparently have turned the place around with ever increasing positive reviews. Fully partaking in village life with live bands and events. Two rooms for "B&B". Simple no nonsense decor. Nice sunny garden out back. Your dog is welcome. A proper pub. Friendly staff and clientele.

We visited the Carrier Arms whilst on our way to Devon from Brighton , as we detoured and stumbled across this gem. Small menu. Great produce, the honey glazed goats cheese is a must followed by the fish and chips or smoked fish plate. We usually wouldn't have a three course meal but couldn't resist after having such delicious mains. Friendly service. Great atmosphere. Have already shared our experience and details of this wonderful establishment with friends and family and hope you'll enjoy.
