Awful food and service - never going back. Food was low quality, and small. Waitress didn't seem to care and they seemed to be more interested in an event in their larger room.

Myself and my partner stayed here for the weekend last weekend for my best friends wedding, the staff were lovely, the manager went above and beyond for us, nothing was ever too much. The food was lovely ( coming from a picky eater) and the rooms are really nice, spacious and clean. We stayed in two different rooms over the weekend; Avon & little Somerfield. Both rooms were very spacious, comfortable and clean, the bathrooms are huge too so getting ready each morning isn’t really cramped. There was a mini fridge, bits for tea & coffee and a welcome pack in each room too! We will definitely be coming back, I couldn’t recommend staying here more! Thank you to Kes and all of the staff for a wonderful weekend!

Had a couple of nights here having stayed a few miles down the road & had popped in for a drink a couple of days before & really enjoyed a Sunday afternoon in a busy & very jovial bar so came back & stayed! Could not fault Kes & her team in any way, they all went the extra mile despite being short staffed as every other pub in the country! Food was really good as was breakfast being a continual (through staffing issues) served at the table, lovely fresh ham, cheeses, sour dough toast, fresh fruit salad, Greek yogurt & whatever else you fancied if they had it. Fantastic💞 The only downside was the bedroom we were in which was very tired. No fault of the team but of Butcombe who really should support their managers especially those who go more than the extra mile to give their customers that ‘special visit’ Weve stayed at other Butcombe pubs & it seems that they are neglecting one of their important revenue streams…their rooms! Great shame for the management who have to take the brunt of any complaints. Another unexpected surprise was the attached in the photo. Another guest at a nearby table happened to mention it was his birthday & my wife mentioned it was mine & the chef, can’t remember her name produced a ‘happy birthday! plate…how very thoughtful despite being busy! Thanks Kes & many apologies for this review being so late…we will see you again.

Although this is our local and we don’t often offer feedback, I felt we should praise the team at the H&G for the immense progress that they have made since taking over. So many events taking place and always something different going on. Last weekend was the garden cinema and it was superb. However, my reason for writing was the new menu, it was fresh, delicious and such a selection. My wife had the mixed fried seafood, the fritto misto and I had fish tacos. Both were superbly presented and very tasty. So good we went back the next night to try another couple of dishes. I had the lamb flatbread kofta and my wife had the burger. Again both were delicious, the kofta was one of the best meals I’ve had recently, the lamb was tender the whole dish just sang, wonderful food.

This location was perfect as we were two couples meeting halfway between Reading and Frome. I had a booking for lunch at 1.30 to allow for a walk around Malmesbury. We met at 11 but only managed to stop for coffee and a long chat. We arrived at the Horse and Groom for lunch. The Manager and her staff were very attentive and helpful. We order drinks and shared a dish of olives. For mains we ordered two roast beef and two pork belly. My wife loves crackling with her pork and she was delighted when we all received some. Not many restaurants will provide this. We finished the meal with cheese and biscuits and I had a delicious rhubarb sweet that they described as a blonde dish. We wanted to extend our stay and elected to take tea in the secluded garden. The lady manager was very friendly and thanked us for coming.

Visited this pub on a recommendation from friends what a shame the whole experience was poor apart from the great front of house colleagues that were great. Something has gone wrong at this pub , many options not available as running two menus doesn’t work for any kitchen so availability becomes an issue and my friend was let down with 3 choices not available My scotch egg was £7.50 and could have come out of a supermarket, two halves of an egg dumped on a plate very poor and not what would be expected! My Fish chips was over cooked and the curry sauce was very suspect! My colleagues burger was lukewarm and please don’t visit the Gents as the smell is not good and the walk is through a junk yard and leaky buckets for a ceiling leak ! I will not be returning and the photos on the website gallery are not reality such a shame !!

The room was charming and cosy but perfectly sized for me and my partner and our dog! Super dog friendly place as well, they were so accommodating for our very excitable doggy.

We came here for something to eat and to look into booking the place for a family gathering. The bar was very busy but the restaurant wasn't too bad. We sat down for at least half an hour before anyone gave us a menu, then waited ages before we were asked for our order. By this time we were pretty fed up so decided to go elsewhere. We also decided to book another venue for our gathering where the service was brilliant.

We visited the pub for a lovely dinner with the family. Drinking section was extremely busy but we were seated in a lovely much more quiet restaurant area. The service was unbelievable. Very friendly. We were looked after impeccably. Food wise : fantastic. My son had “ the best burger ever” he said. Scotch egg was lacking maybe a title salad, I usually enjoy it with a few rockets. Pigeon salad really nice - on the website is in the mains section but moved to starters, which is better I think as the portion is quite small for a main. Highlight of the evening was beautifully cooked venison - which I personally recommend. My husband loved pie of the day:). Followed that we ordered ice cream for kids ( limited choice but my son was happy with one, so no issues there ) and we had an amazing sticky toffee pudding. The cake was really moist! Amazing house lager too! We already booked ourselves for a night in May and we are so looking forward to it! Thank you !!

We were warmly welcomed by the friendly manager and had a enjoyable drink in the bar area of this traditional English pub (it would have been nice if the fire was lit but that’s a minor point). Dinner was excellent, really tasty and well presented. I highly recommend the Biscoff donuts! My first impression of my room (‘Queen’ on the top floor) was that is was very cosy and warm with lots of nice details including a mini bar with fresh milk for a morning cuppa. On closer inspection it’s a little tired and could do with a refresh. There is only a handheld shower over the bath, I would have preferred a proper shower as I’m sure most people do these days. The bed was clean, comfortable and the tv worked well. Unfortunately there was a persistent drip in the bathroom (somewhere inaccessible) that made it very difficult to sleep so I was exhausted in the morning. We had high hopes for breakfast after dinner but the menu was disappointing and food very bland indeed. Sadly, not quite the experience we were hoping for so reluctantly unable to give more than 3 stars.

I have been housebound for 5 years due to chronic anxiety and have slowly been venturing out into the big bad world again. On our 1st visit here in December I instantly felt at home with a warm welcome from staff and locals in a lovely cosy atmosphere. I was sad to hear that the landlady had been in a nasty car accident that day, despite this the team held the fort brilliantly, the food was excellent and service awesome. We went back today for my birthday lunch, again we had the same warm welcome and amazing food and service. We were also pleased to meet the lovely Kez the landlady who had happily recovered. Thank you for a lovely birthday. We will be back very soon.

Where to start! Booked lunch to celebrate daughters 24th birthday, table of 8. Arrived to be seated and told to bare with them as they were short staffed. Then the waitress listed all the items that weren’t on the menu, as this was only at 1.30 alarm bells started to ring how so much food wasn’t available at this time. Took ages to take the drinks order, eventually arrived and the Prosecco was flat. That was the best part, couldn’t believe it could get worse! When food order was taken we were then told that there was no chicken either. Waitress didn’t come to table again. Went to bar to get more drinks and chase food, it arrived after 1.5 hours, the roast dinners were inedible! Meat was so tough you couldn’t cut it, potatoes undercooked and kale almost raw! We were then told that manager was in a crash in the morning, not sure what this had to do with appalling service and lack of food available. Then told head chef had walked out a week before! What was supposed to be a celebration lunch turned into complete disaster. Felt sorry for the front staff who were run ragged and kept apologising for the situation. Danielle, Summer and Euan, you did an excellent job and although we weren’t charged in the end, sadly it was a birthday meal ruined.

We had overnight accommodation over Thursday evening which included Breakfast and paid £147 (not in the low price bracket). We dined in the Restaurant on Thursday evening which was good! But the following morning Breakfast was a bit of a disaster: No orange juice or cereal was on offer and was not an option. We waited about 45 minutes to receive our order as only ONE person was in the kitchen and had to serve as well !!! Simply not good enough, neither was the poor content of what they called Continental Breakfast.

We went on a lovely Saturday evening and there were lots of customers outside enjoying the weather. We were greeted by the landlady as we arrived. The pub looks fantastic from the outside and the interior is well designed. The staff are friendly and engaging. The food was the highlight of the visit. I had the gnocchi dish and my wife had the haddock from the days specials. Both meals looked great on the plate, were well cooked and enjoyed. Definitely worth a revisit soon.

The Horse and Groom is a great place to eat. We had 4 vegetarians in our group of 7 and they really appreciated a proper choice, not just something added on as an afterthought. Food, service, ambience excellent (for non vegetarians too!).

We booked this pub for a pub meal with family. Lovely interior, very friendly staff. My uncle is a local farmer and the rump steak was tiny so if you have a healthy appetite don't opt for that, and was hugely overpriced; compared to other...

Cam and the team were really attentive and the food was really nice. We were there for my Dad's 60th birthday and there was about 14 of us, we all really enjoyed it. Want to try the Sunday lunch next time we come!
