I was looking for short notice Sunday lunch for 4 and as our friends were staying here we decided it was the right place. We have Sunday lunch often and would have chosen somewhere out of town if they hadn't have been booked up. I was not impressed with the offering here. It was OK but knowing what I could have been served elsewhere I was disappointed. Not enough meat. Everything was already on the plate...I would expect a big dish of steaming veg separately....but no...just 1 floret of broccoli I slice parsnip.a few bits of carrot. Not what I expected and to be honest....a bit embarrassing as I was treating them. Sorry. We often stop by door coffee and cake but won't be having Sunday Lunch again.

We had the Feta, Pear and Hot Honey open sandwich for lunch and it was delicious. A little pricey at £9. Good service. Nice quiet ambiance.

We met up with family to have Sunday lunch in the restaurant. My cousin had fish and the rest of us had trio of roasts at £17.50 a head. The roasts were very disappointing, the beef, pork and turkey were tough and the vegetables sparse. We were expecting a separate dish of vegetables as there were so few on our plates, but that did not materialise. The ambience is good, the service was fine. If we meet up again in Marlborough, the Castle and Ball would not be our first choice for a meal though. We did not feel that we had value for money.

Just had a Sunday lunch, it was advertised with Rosemary and Garlic roast potatoes and literally they had opened a bag of frozen roast potatoes and put them on the plate. The pork had no flavour whatsoever and I'm sure the broccoli was also frozen. When you are paying £16 for a dinner you don't expect to have frozen food, totally unacceptable. When I complained they just shrugged their shoulders, not interested at all.

We four were well looked after. However my chicken breast was ridiculously tough and my son in law found his type of chicken was tough too. Other dishes and drinks were good, as expected

First of all I would like to stay that the staff were lovely. Welcoming and friendly and couldn’t be faulted. But the state of the rooms for the amount of money charged is really unacceptable. Extremely mouldy windows. Peeling wallpaper. Damaged furniture. I think the room must have been above the toilets because a hand dryer was going off every 10 minutes and doors banging below me. The rooms could be beautiful but clearly this place has had no investment for a long time.

My husband & I visited here last week when we came to Marlborough. It is situated right on the main road & we found their prices very reasonable as you can get 2 Mains & 2 Drinks for £25. The staff were very friendly & the service reasonable. The pub is very old so very nice to look around.

Stayed in this hotel a number of times now as I work for Green King . I love this hotel for its location, great food and lovely rooms. The staff here are especially friendly and go out of their way to make sure my stay is a good one. Claire is super friendly and went all out to give us our favourite room which means so much to us. Greg is another member of staff who goes all out and can’t do enough for you. Nothing is too much trouble. If I had a hotel with staff like this I would know it’s in great hands and customers would keep coming back.

Being after an earlyish dinner, we popped into this pub and only just managed to get a table. There were some people sat at the tables who weren't eating meals (and didn't order any) which surprised us. There are clear instructions to find a table and then order at the bar. Which we did. We didn't have any cutlery in the table container but I managed to track some down while me wife was ordering our meals. And wine - a NZ white and an Australian red (both very nice). My wife's lasagna was ok but she wasn't a fan of the garlic bread accompaniment (it was that or chips - which she doesn't eat). My fish and chips didn't have many chips but it was a large piece of fish. It was tasty. The chips were a touch on the cool side. A pleasant enough place to eat.

I took my grandmother for a day out in Marlborough and while looking for a place to eat lunch, came across this delightful restaurant. Service was a amazing, food reasonably priced and well presented and the decor was quintessentially English. All of this is a nice bonus, but also pointless if the food isn't up to standard. Luckily, the food more than surpassed my expectations. I had the crispy chicken and a side of seasonal veg and it was heavenly. The crispy chicken was probably some of the best I've had and gravy served with it........wow. My Grandmother is 90 and doesn't eat a great deal, but she loved her grilled salmon dish so much that she vanished the whole plate. I haven't seen her enjoy a meal like that for many years. Overall very highly recommended.

Whilst this pub is right in the heart of Marlborough it is far from the standard one would expect for a town centre pub. We ordered through the app, 20 mins later I had to chase out drinks, they eventually came out 35 mins after we ordered and had a drink missing. The food wasn't up to the usual Greenking standard, it was luke warm and the roast potatoes weren't crispy and tasted like they'd been kept warm for several hours. I won't be visiting here again.

Absolutely atrocious. Booked for 15th Feb as a Valentine treat but wished we hadn't. First they hadn't reserved a table for 2 for us even though we'd booked 3 days earlier. Ordered 2 sirloins...I think mine was cut from the cows anus...it was completely inedible...just rubber and fat. The waiter asked how my steak was...I said it was awful and full of fat...he replied "apart from that is it ok?" When I complained again he offered us a free dessert! I handed it back and was then told that they had a bad batch of steaks and were sending them back. Why were they still on the menu then and why did they let us order a steak they knew was awful? It was the worst steak we've ever been served ANYWHERE. Our Valentine's night out was completely ruined and we'll never go there again.

Well the castle certainly didn't play ball tonight. Ordered 2 meals, a sirloin steak and a lasagne Both had to be left Steak was very tough and was cold the chips only lukewarm the salt grinder didn't work it was replaced but the replacement didn't work very well either. They refunded both meals at least but it's not really what you want when you go put to eat .

Absolutely disguted at the blatant arrogant attitude of the young lad that served my food on Wednesday lunchtime. I politely asked him to check if the food was vegan and he rolled his eyes and glared at me. Human beings are herbivores and we should never be made to feel uncomfortable for wanting to live a healthier more compassionate life. They have also blocked me on Facebook instead of apologising so I will be seeking legal action now. If you have a large group they will go where the vegan feels safe. If you have food allergies you are not safe here.

Even though we only wanted a cup of the coffee, the welcome from the friendly staff and the efficiency of service was as if we were spending a fortune. A nice old-fashioned establishment with a great atmosphere. The freshly made coffee was very tasty and, an added bonus; it was dog friendly. It was a shame we were driving back to Kent and could not stop for a meal because the menu looked very good. Will see if we can stop next time we are in the area.

Two highlights - the cleanest bedroom and bathroom I've stayed in anywhere at any price. It was truly immaculate. And a fresh cooked breakfast to order including the best quality bacon ever. Yes, so the the floors creaked and occasionally you could hear other guests - for goodness sake, the building is hundreds of years old! A great experience and rest assured I will be back! Loved it!

We have visited the Castle and Ball to eat on a few occasions over the years. Staff have always been pleasant and food good. We thought we'd give it a try again for our regular Wednesday night dining out. We didn't book since there usually is no need on a Wednesday. I parked the car in their car park and went in to enquire about a table whilst my wife waited. We wanted to eat in the dining room and as I walked in I could see that whilst there were two or three couples already dining, there was plenty of space. I thought wrong. An officious member of staff said 'Are you a resident?' to which I replied No. "I'm sorry then you can't sit in the dining room".. I was shocked. She offered another table in the main room which was so small it wouldn't have been suitable. I questioned her again about why we couldn't sit in the dining room. She then relented and said she would go and ask somebody about it. A few minutes later she came back and said 'I'm sorry but we've got a busy breakfast tomorrow and all these tables are laid up for breakfast. Being 'laid up for breakfast' means they've put a knife, fork and napkin on the table. You can only imagine how I felt about this kind of customer service. Too lazy to make up one of at least ten empty tables in a dining room, for two customers to dine in! All I could say was 'Ok we'll go somewhere else'.. 'sorry about that' she said as I walked out. We went to Dan's in Market Street, spent our money with them and had a fabulous meal with great service (see separate review) It gives me no pleasure at all to post a negative review, but there are at least two staff at the Castle and Ball who need to be given some lessons in customer service and how to how to run a successful business. The welcome we were given was utterly abysmal.

We came here on recommendation from someone who praised the good service, and we found this to be the case - the staff were attentive and efficient. We had the gammon steak, with scotch egg and pineapple, and the beef and ale pie. The pie...

Quirky and very interesting building. Our room was fabulous, the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had lunch which was delicious and very reasonably priced, there was also an excellent choice for breakfast. Overall we had an excellent stay.

The service was good, however the food was terrible. 3 Roast dinners were ordered in our party and not even the Yorkshire pudding could save the dinner. The Beef was not Pink as described, but so well done it was bordering inedible and also very...

We have just returned after a weekend away and I cannot falter this hotel. The waitresses are a credit and can’t do enough for you. We had both are evening meals at the hotel and breakfasts and I could not fault the food and service....

Really nice pub, in the centre of a stone circle! It's a good spot to chill after exploring the stone circles and ancient mounds of surrounding Avebury. It's actually quite large and upmarket, not in a bad way, it's not a stereotypical village pub in looks inside. Though it still has a friendly, rest-stop feeling to it. The pub has outdoor seating and indoor dining areas. Not had the food but been several times for drinks while exploring the beautiful areas around it. Always had a good experience, the staff and other patrons are very friendly. Can get quite busy as it's a destination pub for walking groups and tourists, so if you wish to eat booking a table is advised.

Weak coffee, and the spinach and cheese pastry was quite vile…couldn’t eat it. Expensive as well.

Lovely Thai place with great food, some good beers on tap and very friendly service, smack in the middle of town.

We visited on a Sunday for breakfast. Arriving a couple of minutes after 10am (opening time), we queued for a table and then again to order food. There were plenty of tables but appreciated it was busy - not all tables were full. We waited for 50 minutes for our food to arrive, although coffee arrived much earlier. This was prompted by us asking where our food was/checking the order had been made, to which we were told ‘we’d just have to wait because it was busy’. The food arrived 5 minutes later. The food was tasty and we’ve no complaints about the quality or price. But, something about the system here just doesn’t make sense, queuing at every point and then waiting another 50 minutes for scrambled eggs on toast and a bacon sandwich, doesn’t make sense. We arrived at 10 and didn’t leave until 12:15…. People had started arriving for lunch! Sadly, we’d not return. There are just other places nearby that are doing it better.

Love this pub. It's the best pub in Marlborough. The locals are friendly as are all the bar staff and you are immediately made to feel welcome. It's got a good selection of beers and if you're hungry the café in the courtyard is excellent for breakfast and lunch. I can't fault this pub.
