the Duke Hotel in Wiltshire

Upon entering the pub we were served drinks by a friendly man with nothing to fault, pointed to our table which is where it went down hill a few of the staff seemed grumpy and like they didn’t want to be there some doing much more than others. When our food arrived (chicken burger) the chips tasted like they had been left over and re heated I did not enjoy them at all the burger it’s self was not great the chicken was almost slimy. My partners lasagne looked watery and didn’t have much flavour. Overall after spending £50 I would not recommend and I personally will not be returning.

We visited with family from France with dog who were looking forward to visiting for coffee and a light snack for lunch,we arrived on a dry bright Sunday lunch, although relatively busy, there were several tables empty, albeit full of dirty leftovers, when we pointed this out to the lovely girl behind d counter she promptly cleared table and wiped, from this point expectations fell away quickly, there was absolutely nothing to eat except carrot cake or muffins fresh or pre packed biscuits and flapjack ! We mentioned this to the counter staff who just said sorry were short staffed and low on food, there were 8 members of staff behind the counter ! Oh well, we ordered coffee which hit the spot first round fine, second round incorrect, then members of our party wished to visit the loo before leaving, a queue of several people waiting constantly to use 1 toilet that was disgustingly dirty from top to bottom ! All in all a poor experience of what some 18 months ago was a lovely place to visit, maybe it was just an Off day, but to have that many staff not doing a lot or cared a lot, not sure I would be in a hurry to revisit

Just thought I grab a coffee and I didn't know it was a machine anyway asked for a large decaf coconut latte didn't know they didn't do coconut so had a soya latte but very disappointed it tasted and looked very milky hardly any coffee saw her top it up not many coffee beans was on a rush and spilt everywhere

We booked a table for the opening party, the pub opened earlier in the week with new staff and owners.
