The Grosvenor Arms in Wiltshire

Had lunch here, the food was very good. My wife's fish was perfectly cooked and my venison, with lentils, was equally as good. Served with complimentary bread with olive oil. Excellent selection of wines by the glass. The place is very traditional, so much the better, and the staff friendly and efficient. We will be back.

Kirstie and her team do a great job of making guests feel welcome and at home; everyone is very helpful and friendly. The Kitchen crew serve excellent food: all fresh and all home-made. Rooms are clean and comfortable; bathrooms are english (dribbly shower), but toiletries, towels and linen all excellent. Want quality? You'll get it here.

I’ve not even checked out yet and I love it. It was a last minute booking for one night while on a working trip. Lovely old building in a lovely town- nice warm welcome, and fast check in. The staff I’ve met so far are cool. But as ever it’s the little things- actual mugs in the room for tea and coffee, smart TV, fresh milk instead of the awful uht things. Decent music in the dining room- thank God! Food is fab- I’d eat a whole plate of the rarebit croquettes. Putting the Grosvenor on my Google hotel map as I’ll definitely stay here again on my travels. Top marks

Very good place. To eat and relax. Very friendly service. Price quality is good

Cozy and simple rooms with a modern bathroom, no complaints. The real stunner was the restaurant: Truly gorgeous, gourmet supper. Breakfast was strong and fresh too. Quiz night was great fun too with a lovely crowd. If you come to Hindon, go here.

The service was awesome. Every person waking there was super kind.

Excellent location. Great service, great room. Lovely food and the addition of an EV charger made it the perfect place for to stop for our visit to Longleat.

Sunday roast was one of the best I’ve had

Friendly and caring staff. Good size room with large ensuite. The extra effort that has been taken to make you feel welcome is sweet. Dinner and breakfast was delicious and the large outside seating area was great to enjoy on a summer evening.

Came upon it by chance on a Sunday evening. What a find. The staff couldn't have been more helpful with prompt service despite being busy. Great food, good atmosphere. Full marks.

Can highly recommend. We arrived without a booking when the outside restaurant was already busy and were made very welcome. Lovely atmosphere with cosy outside seating and garland lights through the trees. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive. The menu choices were really good and the food was superb. Will definitely visit again.

A lovely location and great outdoor area. The Sunday lunch was good although nothing special and there is no children’s menu. Something we noticed a selection of other guests queried. The main menu is limited for young children and to be offered a smaller roast for £1 less seemed unreasonable given they are £22. This aside the service was very good.

Great food, great service. Good half way stop from Bristol to Portsmouth ferry port.

Had a fantastic roast dinner. Staff were very friendly and polite

The Grosvenor Arms is fast becoming one of our favourite places to eat. We had supper there last night - pork belly and the steak and ale pie, and both were delicious! The pies were the real deal - hearty in flavour and substance, a real handmade treat. The pork belly was also generous size-wise, and delicious. What stood out for us, however, was the warm and attentive service. We can’t recommend the Grosvenor Arms enough - thanks for a wonderful meal and a great atmosphere. We’ll be back soon! Andrew, Anne-Marie and Gerard.

Low quality food and service. High price. Avoid at all costs.

It says "Salisbury" but it's actually in Hindon, more than 20 miles away. Not far off the A303, near its intersection with the A350. Owned by the Chickpea group. Excellent quality, v good service. Committed to excellence. Nice people. Only 4 stars for location because it isn't next door!

Went in for a meal on a Monday night with a child - food, atmosphere and everything was lovely, but what was most notable was how fantastic the staff were with a little one, and made the whole thing a wonderful experience for us.

Great pub, as are all the chickpea pub, but full of the most disgusting, belligerent and obnoxious poshos and stuck up arses going. Great staff and great location. Just the clientele who ruin it.

Lovely garden and stop on the way to Devon and the food was top notch!

Absolutely amazing stay - staff were incredibly friendly, rooms were lovely and food was delicious. Service throughout was incredible. Will definitely go back.

Interesting and very tasty food. The service here is excellent too.

Alas, my experience was not good. A very intransigent sales manger would not alter/postpone/refund our booking despite a major accident befalling me a week before our planned 2 night stay. So, with broken ribs and great discomfort we made the trip Most hotels would be more sympathetic and pragmatic than this Despite polite attention there was plenty about which to complain including a noisy, poorly ventilated bedroom which, surprisingly, was not made up on our days there The only stairs were very steep and ill lit- most unsuitable for older people There was no immediate car park Attention at breakfast was sparse Dinner and drinks were expensive Subsequently, following my review, I received the most aggressive of correspondence from the Managing Director of The Chickpea Group of Inns, an amalgamation of Wiltshire based inns We would not stay here again or at any of the other inns within the group You will appreciate from the Managing Director's reply how aggressive he is. His facts are wrong, we were never rude to his staff and every criticism was absolutely accurate and irrefutable Surely at a decent hotel one would expect the bedroom to be "made up" on each day? That's just one of several complaints If, supposedly, his staff were disquieted (for which I'd very much like to hear the proof) it is a pity that he didn't give his ill-gotten gains to them instead of some charity I doubt, with such an attitude, his business will flourish The Managing Director has failed to tell me of any one incident when we were supposedly rude, nor has he told me what charity he used and how much he donated I even phoned the hotel in search of the inferences of rudeness. The staff could no such events

This is one of our favourite places to eat. Food is consistently excellent even when they're exceptionally busy such as Mothers Day. Sunday lunch - roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and vegetables - simply the best I've tasted in many years. Service - staff are always charming and efficient. Atmosphere - book early and aim for somewhere near the bar to get the best, in Winter near the fire is my preference but it's near the doors to outside so you have to be willing to accept the accompanying draft when people arrive or leave.

What a beautiful place to stay. A big 5 stars all round. The food was superb and the service was excellent. We stayed one night , the room was very clean and we even had delicious cookies on arrival, which was a lovely little bonus. The village was very peaceful and the locals were friendly. We will definitely be staying here again. Thank you.

Came here on a business trip, staff are friendly & the food is very good. Highly recommended

An independent pub chain that takes coffee and customers experience seriously. While visiting family in Wiltshire I stayed at 2 of the Chickpea pubs. The first was the Grosvenor Arms. Warmly greeted, drink in hand. Then up to my room. Absolutely spotless, fresh homemade cookies, big bed, BBC4 music hour on. Bliss. The coffee station was filled with their own ground coffee, a french press and fresh milk. No cheap sachets here. Which after the best night's sleep, was the perfect start to my day. I dined here in the evening - the wine and steak would be hard to beat. Breakfast was also fantastic - opting for Eggs Benny (Benedict) perfection! The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and made me as a solo traveller, feel right at home. Without a doubt I will return.

Our dining experience at The Grosvenor Arms was exceptional from start to finish. We indulged in a delightful array of dishes, including soup and croquettes, a lamb roll, and a steak, all of which were incredibly delicious. The service was prompt and attentive, ensuring our needs were met with efficiency and care. The warm atmosphere added to the overall charm of the place, making it a truly memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a great culinary experience!

Fabulous food attentive service in a lovely little village setting, dog friendly and a beautiful open fireplace slay diva

A lovely, warm, cosy country pub. Friendly staff and a roaring fire in the hearth greeted us on our arrival. Our room was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. There were 2 large chocolate cookies and 2 bags of filter coffee waiting for us in our room, plus a selection of tea. Our evening meal and breakfast were delicious with plenty of choice. I would definitely recommend the Grosvenor Arms. Great value for money too!

We had Sunday lunch here today (28 Jan 24) and the setting, ambience, service and food were excellent.

Excellent service! We ordered beef burger and cauliflower salad. The burger was brilliant but the salad was a little bland for my liking. Portion sizes were generous.

Good customer service and friendly

Exceptional! Great welcome. Spotless bedroom. Nice meal. Best bacon for breakfast have had for years. Such friendly and helpful staff

Booked here for lunch on the Saturday between Christmas and New Year. Food and staff were amazing. We were a little late to our table and ordering (catching up and travel excitement) but the team were very accommodating and helpful. We didn’t feel rushed at all and the food was served with good speed. The haggis scotch egg is to be recommended but honestly everything was lovely from the pork loin, lamb rump to the fish &chips. Dogs very welcomed too.

This is a great pub with a good menu, and traditional gastro meals, but also some surprises, which are all good. The Menu is well priced and the drinks selection is fine as well. There is a discretionary service charge which is a little steep, which I would expect more from a three rosette restaurant, but obviously you can remove this if you want to, and this shouldn't detract you from visiting.

expensive foody pub not a place for working men

The most charming pub I’ve ever been to, the staff were charming, the food delicious, the bedrooms were gorgeous, the value just unbelievably good. To have that quality breakfast with stunning drinks to match and such a lovely room for the price in this day and age is just unreal. Well done guys what a place!

Wonderful evening of good food, good wine and the service by Jack was very very good!

- Birthday celebrations tarnished by CHICKPEA ! Summary ; last night’s food and service was satisfactory [ Hindon] , accompanied by a commensurate market price , including a 12.5 % gratuity . But , as they say in the USA , CHICKPEA is in the business of ‘ gouging ‘ customers ; our homemade birthday cake carried a very surprising charge of £ 3.00 per quest ! This is a first ; never before have I seen this applied . Never again . Barry Watson at GreenBanks , Blandford .

This would be a 5 star rating - nice food, lovely waitress, drinks were very slow being served so a nice place to celebrate my son’s 16th birthday. I had bought a cake to celebrate. We were informed they charge CAKEAGE! It would cost us £15 to have this cake. I took the unused cake home. How sad is that 😞. Our bill was just over £200. How MEAN is that? Shocking really. So don’t celebrate your birthday here if you want to take a cake!!

My wife and I went to Wincanton Races. The weather was awful and the drive home was daunting. We looked for a room and booked a room with breakfast at the Grovenor Arms in Hindon. We arrived late and when we arrived the log fire was still roaring. The young lady at the bar was so helpful and with a candle on every table we new we had made an excellent choice. When we finally made it upstairs the room was superb. Warm cosy and very comfortable. Zzzz After a restful night we came down to a fabulous breakfast and brilliant service. Thank you so much to all the staff . We don’t often get a break and you made this brief one memorable. We will be back. X

We didn’t stay but dropped in for a roast lunch on the way back from Devon. We almost booked a room mid way through our roast as we were enjoying it so much! Fantastic village pub!

Very attentive service in the restaurant. Great food and we were given freshly baked bread with olive oil while we waited for our meals which was a nice touch!

Really good lunch, freindly service, lovely.

Beautiful Sunday lunch, extra roasties, perfect in every way..

Friendly welcoming staff Spot on place 👍👍

Not a pub, but a mid tier pricey gastro. No walk ins and no lunchtime light meals. Def not a pub

Great Sunday Roast, one of the few times I've thought I could have done with less meat and more veg - lovely! 😅

We popped in for an evening meal as its close to the main road. So glad we did, fish & chips was beautiful, perfect batter & super tasty. Burger & chips just as good, best burger I've had in years (I don't eat many). Service was very friendly & professional, beer & food selection were top notch. Will definitely visit again & very happy to recommend this place.

Wonderful location. Wonderful staff! We'll be back!!

Only ate there, food was good and service excellent.

Had a wonderful meal. Belly of pork which was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend this place, lovely atmosphere and excellent service

Staff were wonderful, got us a table even though we hadn't booked.

Hier vanavond heerlijk gegeten! Zowel de cheese burger, de aubergine en het visgerecht was superlekker. Het kaasplankje als afsluiting was goed gevuld. Het is een hele leuke locatie met prima service! Zeker een aanrader. Dank voor de service en het heerlijke eten!

Great food, brilliant service. I haven't tried the rooms. Hindon is beautiful. Parking can be tricky.

We live local, so never tried a room. Sunday lunch was fab, staff polite and helpful, unlike the guests on the table next to us. They were rude and moaned about everything, yet the waitress kept smiling and going back. Would go again for sure.

This is almost our local pub and it is SO GOOD its got a really nice feel, as soon as you arrive you just feel its going to be good.. The menu is straightforward and un cluttered, the food is what you hope for in quality quantity and presentation. I will certainly be going again.

Op advies van onze host gaan eten. Parkeren langs drukke weg. Heerlijk gegeten in een oude bibliotheek. Het personeel was heel vriendelijk en snel. Gelukkig hadden we gereserveerd, want alle tafels waren bezet.

Such a charming place! Clean, accommodating, and close to Stonehenge! And a great full breakfast!

We stayed here for a night while passing through the area. The room was beautiful, cosy, and very well appointed. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was lovely. Also had a delicious dinner!! Best value for money I have ever experienced in a hotel in my Life. Thank you!!!

A lovely spacious pub and pleasant courtyard garden. The fish and chips were extremely good and came with curry sauce which was delicious

We spent a fantastic night at the Grosvenor Arms where we were greeted by the wonderful manager Guy who looked after us during our stay. Guy was ably supported by his super friendly staff & the highlight was the food which was top draw! Delicious roasts with all the trimmings & fantastic cocktails means we’ll definitely be back to this cosy, country pub. Thanks Guy!!

Overpriced for what we get , super low quality chips and overcooked steak ...

Popped in for a pint, nice friendly welcome, lovely roaring fire, which was nice on a wet, miserable day!!

Really great friendly service, easy going chilled atmosphere, lovely food and good range of drinks. Really impressed !

Amazing pub! Lovely service and delicious food

Had a lovely lunch there yet again always good food, warm cosy atmosphere, friendly staff and first rate service. Would thoroughly reccomend.

Lovely old country pub with a touch of luxury

Amazing value for money on a same day, last minute booking. Lovely vibe to the pub when we arrived (although quite late, just before closing). Breakfast included was lovely, the lemon juice and turmeric shots were a nice morning luxury and the full English was top tier. We're definitely going to try some other Chickpea pubs/B&B's

Happened to drop in here for lunch on our way to Cornwall. The Grosvenor Arms is nestled in the tiny bit beautiful village of Hinson. The place is deceptively spacious. The wood burning fire, the candles on the table add to the charm of this little gem. The lunch menu was not extensive but was fresh and very tasty. The starters were spot on, the soup hit the right notes and the sourdough accompaniment was fresh. The service added to the wonderful afternoon. Thoroughly recommend this place.

Lovely situation Friendly staff Good portions Thanks

We have always had good food at the Grosvenor Arms so we decided to go there for Easter Sunday Lunch. Sadly the meal failed to live up to expectations. Things got off to a bad start when we were served dry/ stale bread with the olive oil appetizer. I told the waitress and she said she would tell someone. We heard nothing more. I had the roast beef main course which proved to be very tough and sinewy, again I told the waitress when she asked how things were. Yet again she said she would tell someone. We heard nothing more. We paid the bill which was not cheap and left. We have always recommended the Grosvenor in the past but we won't in the future and it will be a long while before we return and risk another disappointing meal.

One of the best Gastropubs I‘ve ever been to and trust me, I‘ve been to many.

Lovely place, great staff, classy and comfortable….log fires roaring even at breakfast time. Great breakfast and great value

Amazing food, quality drinks. Friendly staff.

Nice location. Nice food. Good variety and some unusual dishes. No catering at all for children though. Food took a while to come out due to issue. Food was hot and tasty but maybe a little upmarket for a family with children. Nice decor. Friendly staff.

What a lovely evening we had in this beautiful, cosy pub. Lana provided truly exceptional service - thank you again! Genuinely knew the menu, super helpful for our dietary requirements and great conversation from start to finish. Food, wine, cocktails were all fantastic. Aperitif by the fire beforehand. Perfect night!

Beautiful country side and an excellent hotel and restaurant

I stayed for one night for business. Beautiful room, attentive staff, gorgeous food and I loved the extra touches of a cookie and milk and fabulous toiletries. Five star. Thank you

My fiancé and I stayed here for one night and it was great. The pub itself was super cosy, food was yummy and the cocktails were perfect. The staff were all very lovely and accommodating too. We requested a late table near the fire for dinner and it was no problem at all. Only downside was the shower :/ the pressure and temperature kept changing so wasn’t that great of an experience but other than that, I’d stay here again. The room was a great size and the freshly baked cookies we were given upon check in were an absolute delight! Thank you :)

Like a Harry Potter location. The quaint nature of this inn cannot be described in words - it really has to be experienced. The wonkiness of the place adds to its appeal - add to that fantastic food (had dinner and breakfast) with great rooms to stay in that had a great, modern bathroom with a rainfall shower and excellent staff and this is a place that should be on your list to stay.

First visit on a very busy Sunday. Excellent friendly service & good food & wine. We will be back!

Really disappointed with this pub/restaurant. We went here for a quick bite to eat, ordered a basic meals, fish and chips and a single cheese burger and chips and a couple of drinks. The food was of very poor quality and certainly not worth the ridiculous price we were charged, would of got a better meal from a burger van at a fraction of the price.

I stayed here with my partner for a birthday weekend and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Attentive staff, delicious food and well presented room with a comfy bed. Well worth the price especially with breakfast included. Will definitely stay again if the opportunity arises! Thank you guys for making our stay so great!

Table booked and took forever to be served, without as much as an apology... drinks ordered and again waited, once they came we tried to order food but got left to wait once again. The food order was eventually taken but not without hiccups along the way. Last but not least we waited for the bill until we finally got someone's attention. The food was exceptable, but the service left a lot to be desired. Will not be going back. The response is not inviting at all. I am a genuine customer who was visiting friends in that area and we booked in advance under my friends name S Thorne and I am only stating as we found on this one occasion.

we stayed here for 2 nights and would highly recommend. Rooms are so lovely and clean, breakfast was delicious, staff are great and so friendly and restaurant/ pub is such a nice place with tasty food and a nice atmosphere . Parking is also easy with a car park round the back or easy parking on the road just outside .

The service and food were appalling. Will not be going back.

I always hesitate to leave glowing reviews to establishments that are beyond normal expectations as the secret will be out.....and I may not find a vacancy next time passing through; and there will be a next time. Very convenient motoring up country from Cornwall I stayed one night midweek dined and breakfasted. Everything was perfect, this is not your impersonal micro plastic pot of UHT style of place. Top quality tea and excellent coffee pleased this very fussy old bloke. The food was excellent. Beyond the practical details however, what really makes a traveller feel welcome is the personal touch. My hostess courteously escorted this pensioner to his room after offering to help with my luggage and the waitstaff were exceptionally attentive. I found the people working here to be personally engaging and professionally discrete. The frontage afforded space to park my motorcycle which i could keep an eye on from my window. The Grosvenor is a Jewel, but shush! don't tell everyone.

Lovely pub in the pretty village of Hindon. We arrived to be given a seat by an open fire and a pint of local ale. Perfect. Stayed two nights and were well looked after by friendly staff.

This is a lovely old pub, serving beautifully cooked food. We went with 2 friends last Saturday and it was one of the best meals I've had in ages, and everyone in our party enjoyed their meals too. The service was very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable! The prices are great and the semi private room we dined in was lovely. I'd definitely go back and would highly recommend this establishment.

The service was very pleasant but slow. The meal was excellent value and very generous portions.

Lovely pub, nice helpful staff, very busy. Good sign.

Stunning place,excellent service and delicious food...highly recommended. We stopped there by chance on our way to holidays....Magnificent way to start our holidays.....Professional staff.

Quite disappointed, we had fish and fries. The batter was so hard as were the fries. We sat inside and found it in need of a good clean, very dusty in places and candle wax all over the tables.

My partner and I stopped here by chance on our way home from Somerset. They're dog friendly and have a gorgeous little courtyard out the front to sit in. As soon as a staff member saw me walk in with a baby we were offered a high chair (this has never happened to us before, we always have to ask or go hunting for one!) The food was incredible and although there are no baby changing facilities, the pub was quiet so we were offered a side room to change our daughter in. Amazing service, amazing food and amazing surroundings. We couldn't fault it. Even the other customers were delightful!

Great place to eat and stay beautifully restored and popular with locals. Hampshire trout and breakfast shakshuka were divine!

It was fantastic! Stopped for some lunch on our way to London. We had a great experience in a very nice pub. Food, service and surrounding were to very high standards. Keep it up!

A hearty Sunday lunch, with very full plates of roast meats, Yorkshire puds, roast veg, spring veg, roast potatoes, etc., etc. Left us so full we only managed to share and excellent Sticky Toffee Pud! Good, attentive staff and a pleasant pub “ambiance”. Very pleased to have gone back again…

A decent hotel, out of two rooms one was spacious but other was not. The beds were comfortable and the room were clean. The dining options within the hotel were good and we enjoyed our time. Some of the hotel staffs were very kind and courteous.
