The Hook and Glove in Wiltshire

Great beer and a snack on a Sunday lunchtime

1st class food, and service from a welcoming, friendly & helpful team - an unexpected gem to finish our holiday on, many thanks 👍🍻

Loved this pub. Locals and barman very friendly. Enjoyed a drink and banter in this quaint little pub in the middle of nowhere

Great village pub with really nice and accommodating staff. Food was very good the chicken leek pie was excellent and the beer was pretty fair. Bit put of the way but worth the trip

Everyso often you come across a gem of a pub that you wish you'd known about sooner.. This is one of those. You really ought to make an effort to go here. Bar area is small like a snug, but the restaurant side is roomy with 8 or so tables with room enough for small groups. Food menu is short, but niche. As you'll see from other reviews the pies are excellent. However the other offerings are just as good. It's proper wholesome pub food. You won't leave feeling hungry. Very large rear outdoor seating area and carpark spaces....or bike spaces. Ideal situation for cyclists to stop off and refuel I'd say: add it to your Strava route map. Front seating area too overlooking the quiet country lane. Hospitable friendly knowledgeable staff make you feel welcome. The real ale, although only 2 pumps, is typically locally sourced. You'll likely get something quite unique. Should get a note from CAMRA if not already listed. Wine menu good too for such a small bar.

nice friendly proper pub cant fault it

We met family here for lunch as they'd just moved into Farley, we got held up so were late arriving for the booking, my family let them know and they said no problem for still having lunch. Even when we got there they didn't hurry us into ordering, the gentlemen serving was very attentive, pleasant & pretty hilarious - we have to have a laugh in life.. A few dishes had sold out, we view that as a good sign that they don't keep fresh food hanging around. There was still plenty to choose from, the food we all went for was hot, very tasty, generous portions and well worth sitting in traffic for hours for. Lovely pub, which I believe TA doesn't include as 'within range of Salisbury' but it is and is worth stopping at. We need to keep the village pubs alive..

What a gem. Laid back country pub, I thought it was a house, with the owner wishing it was a pub, with its sign hanging, but no super little boxer to sit and relax, with a lovely libation of your choice. I can't wait to sample its fare in a fortnight.

Great food, small menu but expected, service was great and the location is good!

The hunters game pie was absolutely fantastic! The menu isn't big but what food is served is very high standered! ... The guy behind the bar was very friendly!

Stopped off here after a lovely walk at Bentley woods,had heard good things about it and wasn’t disappointed. The gentleman serving us could not do enough to make our visit worthwhile. Definitely coming back,highly recommend the Hunters Game pie👍

Wonderful countryside pub where nothing was too much trouble. Good tasting food, great portion sizes, and reasonably priced. The pub garden to the rear was beautiful. I want to thank the pub landlord for being so accommodating to us and our little ones. Will be coming back again and recommending to family and friends

Most disappointing Sunday lunch we have had for many years it was recommended, I can only assume they got this pub mixed up with the Silver Plough in the next village. Everything we had was tasteless, there can be no complaints about the quantity if thats your remit but personally I would rather have less but more flavour! A pub with no Guiness ! Plastic packets of condiments without salt and when we requested a salt mill were provided with further packets and the salt was damp and stuck together! The staff are very friendly and accommodating but unfortunately this doesn’t make up for the aforementioned shortcomings. Will definitely will not be returning and with hindsight we all thought that we should’ve left when the old dirty menus that had seen better days were given to us! I cannot believe how good the reviews are on this pub, I can only assume that Wiltshire folk are easily impressed!!

As day leaders for our village walking group we were impresed by the Hook & Glove menu and willingness to accommodate us so booked our group of 20 in for Sunday lunch. We were not disappointed. A warm welcome. A great lunch from the varied menu and great service throughout. We could not have been looked after better. Our thanks to the team at the Hook & Glove for a memorable lunch experience.

Lovely little pub. Did a great couple of plates of food, and a really lovely Guinness. Fire was lit and well attended. Being the only one at a late lunch service was unbelievable and had a lovely chat with the chef/landlord. They have a Shetland in the field at the back called frogspawn. Nice large carpark

Went there to meet up with Friends. Great country Pub, lovely atmosphere and service. Great food, good protions and cooked well. Dog friendly and really nice to visit.

Lovely lunch. Great food, generous portions, all really well prepared. I had the hunters pie, venison and other game. Properly filled, traditional short crust pie. Really good. Others had the chicken burger and calamari, both really tasty and cooked just right. Fantastic service, super friendly.

Great pub, highly recommend this place!!! We were a party of 3 and our dog, we had the sea bass and steak and kidney pie and brownie for dessert. All delicious and portions were generous. The service was super friendly and we were looked after really well, our dog even got some treats 😊

Wonderful pub tucked away in a small Wiltshire village. Unfortunately (from a business point of view) I was the only person there that afternoon (3-5 wet weds in early Jan!) but Peter the landlord made me very welcome. A MUST visit. Worthy entry to the CAMRA beer guide.

Great little pub, staff friendly, and welcoming. Guests were all friendly, too. A proper pub!

We held our Xmas party at the hook and glove and found it super. Lovely food, service and atmosphere.

Spent a fabulous couple of hours here in early December 2023 with my partner when we were on a week’s holiday in the area. Very well kept beer and a convivial atmosphere with genuine banter. Peter the Landlord had ‘been in the knife drawer’ as we say up North. Sharp witted and very entertaining. I did tell him that Adrian said to say hello.

Wonderful food and friendly service

It is a long time since I/we have tasted and eaten such good food. Not an easy place to find but more than worth it when you do! Go, it's good!"

We visited the Hook on our trip down from Leeds. We were here on a Friday early evening and as soon as we walked in we were welcomed into such a friendly atmosphere, as if we were locals. It is incredibly dog friendly. The food was lovely with good hearty portions and local veg! The best bit was the staff! We didn’t get their names, but the gent and lady there were so bloody lovely. Thank you!

Met up with some friends for a delicious lunch - smoked duck salad with proper chips. Beautifully presented. Staff were very friendly and obliging. A super lunch.

Very welcoming, menu small but varied, Lobster Bisque was superb. Large garden ideal for children. Easy to find with the sat-nav.

Wonderful. Go, drink great beer and eat lovely food. Welcoming staff and friendly locals, what more could you want? Shame Lobster Night is sold out, we'll keep watching for the next one.

After a pleasant wander around Bentley Wood stumbled across this wonderful pub. Some of the best Pub food I've had in a long while. Highly recommended.

Visited this pub this week and had a lovely meal. The menu was varied and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the food (compliments to the chef!). Service was fantastic and everybody (staff and other customers) were extremely dog friendly and welcoming of our little staffy. Thank you for a lovely evening!

A quiet early week lunchtime. A warm welcome & nice pub food

So we stopped off for dinner and they were very accommodating especially getting me in with my wheelchair. The lady explained what's in the food and we ordered the game pie and the chicken ham and leek pies. Both pies are think deep and full. Very tasty and pastry perfectly cooked crisp chunky chips. And season veg to top it off absolutely lovely and full of taste. Lemon tarte and maltesser cheesecake both full of. Flavour and good sized. My only little issue was the runny gravy with the pie tasty but didn't coat the pie or the chips. And the chicken ham and leek pie would be better served with a cheese sauce maybe?? Anyway still lovely place and food

I enjoyed a very hearty lunch at this traditional 1870s village pub ( & would love to know more about the name).Good plain food as my old dad would have said. A big slab of local proper quality pie with a generous serving of vegetables,so rare nowadays. For sharing!

Excellent place. Best wishes to all staff. Lovely to meet you last Sunday.

Found this pub while we were on holiday staying in the new forest. Very pretty country pub tucked away in a small village The restaurant is nicely laid out with plenty of space to take dogs The menu is limited with a good selection But if like myself you have to be careful what you eat it doesn’t give much choice The cod was not available which was a shame, perhaps make provision for busy service The waitress was very helpful and the proprietor seemed to be doing all the cooking which was on view for everyone to see Overall a nice meal not outstanding The pub seems to be popular with locals Compared with other pub meals reasonably

Excellent food and service at this off the beaten track pub!

Lovely pub. Quality home-cooked food, good pint and friendly staff

very abrupt no when i asked if they had a table for two how rude!! i phoned in the morning and was told as its only for two just turn up would be fine.

Really lovely service, beautiful garden and fabulous food. My mum was so pleased with her fish and chips...and she never compliments!!! Highly recommended.

So disappointed, after reading other reviews I thought it would be good, unfortunately it wasn’t. The Sunday dinner was below average, gravy which resembled bisto…no seasonings…tasteless and bland. Two mains and two drinks £48! Don’t make the same mistake I did!

Great village pub with superb food. A very friendly welcome with excellent beer and a good menu. What more could you ask for of a country pub. I’ll be back.

Pleasant quiet pub off the beaten track. Good food and attentive service.

Went for a meal with my husband to this cosy little pub I was greeted with a warm fire on a cold wet night and a big warm welcome from the staff All food fresh cooked by the main man who was on hand to explain the menu I can highly recommend this pub most delicious slow cooked lamb with fresh veg and mash 😋

Had a meal here with family, the food and service was excellent

Lovely very friendly staff and food brilliant. Recommended

Had the best steak I've had for years. Absolutely lovely place cookies. Fantastic. People are fantastic. Wonderful place to go and eat. Highly recommend

Just had lunch at the hook & Glove, great food and wonderful service. Amazing little place.

What an amazing meal. It was honestly the best fish and chips I'd ever had and the Mars cheesecake and the lemon pie were to die for. The pub welcomed our 2 greyhounds with dog treats and the staff were so lovely. I'd definitely recommend going there. We will be back very soon.

Lovely quiet country pub - Wood fire, cosy bar and friendly staff. Will come again in the summer because outside looks great, too.

Very traditional country pub. Good selection of beers and ciders. Visited for a Christmas morning drink.

Found on Google as a place to meet up with family, they from Somerset us from Hampshire. Friendly welcome, served with drinks in good time, ordered & food was delivered to our table with a smile in nice time. We had different dishes & all were superb. The Steak Pie & the Chicken,Ham & Leek Pie were so light & extremely tasty. Plenty of veg, nice to see Broad Beans, Broccoli, Carrots & Brussel Sprouts, all cooked to perfection. Battered Fish was meaty & the batter light, lovely . All served with the most delightful Chips. Must say it was an excellent meal & plentiful. The Chef came & had a chat, nice to discuss the meal. We were very early so the Staff had time to be able to chat. Will certainly go again should we be in the area. Do try it, you'll enjoy.

Very welcoming on this Sunday afternoon and food was fresh and delicious. Great food.

Chef was really helpful with the menu, the GF DF battered cod I had was perfectly cooked and the batter was so light! Excellent!

Booked Sunday lunch for 2.30 couldn't do later as they stop serving food at 3pm even though the pub closes at 6pm. I ordered beef, which was very tender & tasty however the veg consisted of Broccoli, baby carrots & broad beans, which were tasteless. The Yorkie was past it's best the same as the roast potatoes. They had obviously been kept warm in the oven so you needed a hack saw to cut through the hardened potato skin, really disappointed, especially as it cost £15.50 a head I believe. So make sure you eat early when the food is freshly cooked.

Arrived at the pub looking forward to a good meal after reading the reviews. We were provided with a single sheet of paper containing approximately 10 options. We were then advised that 6 of the items on the menu were not available. After ordering our second choices, we were then told that one of them wasn't available either. At that point, we got up and left.

The food is excellent. We went to Salisbury for our mini-moon and the pie was amazing. They topped is up with more food too. The chips were great.

A lovely Sunday afternoon roast, the food had such a home cooked feel about it. The gentleman serving could not have been more attentive, the young woman also very good. Would definitely go back. The surrounding countryside is fantastic for a pre or post lunch walk.

Great country side pub! The sunday roast was good, big portions; well cooked veggie, chicken was juicy and the beef was delicious (my partner said it was the best beef he has tried in a sunday roast). Rollo cheesecake with ice cream was really tasty. The waiter (probaby he was the owner) couldn't be nicer and helpful. Definitely a place to come back and recommend

Stumbled across this pub on route to bath. It was a lovely surprise stop for lunch!! Food was soo yummy, and they were very accommodating to my dairy allergy! The service was great and they were all very friendly and welcoming.

Great location in the middle of nowhere! Food amazing, drinks great, great service nice and friendly. Could do with umbrellas to protect from sun 😎

We came here for a birthday meal while staying at Farley campsite. Such a lovely pub, amazing food with generous portions. Pete is a legend. - The Farley family

Good food great real cask ales and friendly staff.

Thank you to Pete and the team for hosting a fabulous Christening celebration for our friends and family. The food, service and setting were perfect. A truly welcoming country family pub in a beautiful spot. Friendly staff who can’t do enough to help. Would highly recommend.

Great lovely pub, very helpful owner, great staff. Portions are huge....... Great chef, dog freindly we were on holiday we found this pub the best pub. Well worth a visit.

It seems a bit ‘out of the way’, but from Salisbury (A 30), just go straight through Pitton, and in Farley go past the handsome church to this smallish pub with a quite spacious dining area, with pictures by local artists on show. Friendly, attentive service bringing delicious food: we had roast lamb (tender and good gravy, and one lady had the ‘smaller portion’ - quite adequate!), but could have had roast pork. I had game pie, not one of those individual ones, but a generous slice of a proper large pie - you get more, juicy meat - with delicious sauce, chips if you want them as well as veg. Good Lister’s (Sussex) bitter - it’s a free house. For afters we shared a generous slice of chocolate fudge cake with ice cream, and we each were given both spoons and forks to eat with, (tho’ the flimsy paper serviettes could be improved on). Recommended.

Nice friendly atmosphere. Regular guest beers which change a lot and all taste good. Food great. My mother is allergic to gluten and the cook did her gluten free fish n chips which she loved. Large portions too. I’d recommend this pub to anyone.

So glad we found this beautiful little pub on our drive out today. Made to feel very welcome by the very friendly staff. Had lunch, Scampi, Steak and Kidney pie, and the Venison stew with dauphinoise potatoes, very tasty and all ample meals, even our dog was treated to some biscuits ! We will definitely return in the future.

We should have been at the Silver Plough in Pitton, who messed up our booking. Locals in the garden told us about The Hook andGlove which we are delighted about. A lovely warm welcome, top class service and fabulous food.. we shall make this a...

Great portions and beautiful Sunday Roast in a lovely country pub off the beaten track. Great service, welcoming and even boxed the leftovers!!! Highly recommended

Visited for dinner on the 27th December and had a lovely meal. Unfortunately a lot of the menu (the majority of it!) wasn’t available but this was explained to us. There was only one vegetarian option which I ordered (lasagne) and was then told that...

Came for dinner and drinks as a large group of friends and received an extremely warm welcome from staff with lovely little touches to the meal. Lovely pub with a great atmosphere!

Very welcoming village pub, accommodating adults and our well behaved puppy in the corner of the dining room. Food was delicious, everyone enjoyed their meals and puddings. The locally made savoury pies are to be highly recommended. Large portions, nicely presented and all the staff...

Along with several other members of my family I visited here, for lunch, today. We were a big party......a mix of adults, children and dogs. We could not have been made more welcome. From the greeting at the door to the cheery goodbye at the...

An impromptu visit on a Saturday night, and we received a welcoming reception, (also extended to our dog). Prompt service, excellent food and a very attentive waitress. We will be returning!

Thank you so much for our fabulous family meal celebrating two birthdays. Fantastic food, healthy portions, great variety of choice, good value and super friendly, efficient service. We had a lovely, relaxed evening and will definitely return.

A quality country pub with good beer and good food . Smallish menu with excellent choice - the squid salad was delicious . Friendly staff , and nice outside covered seating area. Our first visit since lockdown , and just as good as before

We went to the Hook and Glove for my birthday meal. I had the brisket burger and chips which was absolutely lovely. There were so many chips I couldn't eat them all (I did try!) There was also a large salad. I'm not a salad...

We went to the H&G today, had a brilliant meal and service, staff are so welcoming! Highly recommend

Great welcome on a cold and rainy night. 12 of us piled in to the marquee, socially distanced of course. Good choice of beers for the guys. Food was excellent, as always and all 12 meals arrived together and piping hot. Great selection on menu....

Ended up here as original pub mixed up our booking. Warm welcome, friendly service - really good pub food and great beer - perfect half way stop on a long cycle ride. Even gave us directions to avoid the big hill! Recommended

Firstly the staff and the service was very good and the setting was lovely. Unfortunately the food was very poor but this might of been an off day as all the other reviews seem quite good and the last time I came here I had no complaints. Had a Sunday Roast and the beef was chewy and fatty to start with (one of the worst I’ve ever had). The vegetables were okay, the gravy had no taste and was watery. The roast potatoes were rock hard and the Yorkshire pudding tasted like a frozen one. Very disappointed today but hopefully next time will be better.

We have read good reviews of the Hook and Glove and would like to have had a meal here. However, we are still not confident about eating out, so we thought we would have a take away. There is a good selection of take away meals on the website that can be ordered online. You order the meal, specify which day and at what time you would like to collect it and pay when it is picked up. We got an email confirming the time. The visit to collect was very brief, but was enough to experience a friendly staff.Taking the food back to our holiday cottage, we unpacked a delicious meal set out as it would have been served at the restaurant table. Excellent service.

What a great find this was. We found this lovely country pub after visiting the Roche Sculpture park in Winslow. We sat outside on the lovely terrace in the sun and comfortable chairs. Very friendly staff with excellent service. Good lunchtime menu including venison steak, fish & chips & steak & brie burger. All delicious, huge portions and the best chips ever!! Unfortunately didn't have room for desserts. Definitely recommend and will be back whenever we are visiting the Salisbury area again.

We live in Farley and realise how lucky we are to have the Hook and Glove on our doorstep. Last week we had the most tasty fish and chips ( with lovely side salad, very light beer batter and crisp, hot chips) sitting in the garden. The pints of Sharps went down well too, a well kept beer. Arrangements for social distancing are well in place and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Really enjoyed it.

A great little county pub full of history in this quaint and quiet little village of Farley, very close to Salisbury main city. Great to visit after a walk, hack or working day, or any excuse really. It has lovely outside spaces and internal restaurant area or cosy snug. Friendly staff serving cool beers and FRESH food - so totally worth the visit to this little gem. Fresh fish dishes change as the local catch permits (the fish is amazing!). Fish, rib-eye steaks, burgers, lasagne we had were mouthwateringly good and portions were a great size for us 4 hungry walkers (with our 4 dogs in toe hoping for a morsel). There is also a fantastic new take out menu which is great if able to pass and pick up after work - we will definitely be using that! We score it 10 out of 10.

8 of us cyclists arrived at the Hock and Glove early evening, mid week. We all ordered Food. The food all arrived in good time and everyone was very happy with their meal. Excellent service, lovely garden, great beer. Highly recommended

После посещения Стоунхенджа мы не поленились полчаса поездить по маленьким деревушкам в округе и добраться до этого ресторана. Замечательный сервис! Всех посетителей встречали прямо как членов семьи;) Очень достойный выбор блюд, да еще и блюда дня бывают и они очень даже оригинальные, и в то же время домашние и сделанные из продуктов из этого региона. И вкусно! От слова "очень".А еще прекрасная обстановка, можно сидеть на улице / в саду и все уютно обставлено. И, самое милое, - у них есть свой пони, так что дети за столом долго не усидят, пойдут играть.

Post lockdown lunch. A very good meal with very friendly service. We will be going again. Beautiful garden.

I recently visited this pub and stumbled upon a great worker called robyn which was very nice to me so I waited till her shift ended and then we started talking and now she’s a good friend, now I always visit this pub and recommend it to all my friends, I think she deserves a pay rise.

The Hook and Glove is a wonderful village pub in SALISBURY; ok its 4 miles outside but still inthe Salisbury postcode. The food, beer and welcome is outstanding. Come on Tripadvisor re-register the Hook and glove in Salisbury not Farley. If this doesn't happen another unique and wonderful pub will close; previously 60% of the pub's trade came vai Tripadvisor!

Lovely atmosphere, friendly and the food looked great. We just popped in for a drink after a walk but will definitely be back.

Was passing through for a quick pint, definitely worth a visit. Nice area, clean and with a good atmosphere.

We recently moved into the neighbouring village and decided to have lunch in the pub. The Hook and Glove is in an idyllic village setting with ample parking to the rear. We were greeted so warmly by the staff and made to feel very welcome. Both of us chose the goats cheese salad as a main (it's available as a starter) and it was delicious. For dessert I had the malteser cheesecake and my wife had the sticky toffee tart- both were extremely generous portions and tasted fabulous. Thank you for such a lovely lunch. We will definitely be back and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Pop in for a drink, stop for a gorgeous meal, Book yourself in for the monthly quiz. Go on your own, with family, with friends. We went as a couple first time, and since then have done all of the above. Great find....

We visit when we can, its a 40 mile round trip and always worth it.Because of the warm welcome,friendly staff and aways so cleanGood menu choices,good portions, well prepared and presented.I drive past 9 other pubs to get to this one. Need I say more

I go to the Hook and Glove every couple of months, usually either cycling or walking. Sometimes I just have a drink, sometimes a delicious lunch, freshly cooked with fresh ingredients, always with a special twist. It is always a pleasure, a warm welcome and a cosy ambiance. I will be back very soon.

We have visited the hook and glove for many years bringing business colleagues, from around the world, friends and family, each and every one has always complemented the service, staff and food supplied at the Hook and Glove, telling us how fortunate we are to live in such a lovely village and to have this on our doorstep and being so close to visitor attractions in the Salisbury area. It’s also great for the locals to get together and welcomes new residents coming to live in Farley, with Salisbury on their doorstep for employment, schooling , medical care and shopping.
