The Lodge in Wiltshire

We stopped for lunch on our way to a spa break on Sunday. My diet can be a bit tricky, but when the staff saw that I was struggling, they had a word with the chef and came up with a lovely vegetarian roast without cauliflower, mushroom or potato. The homemade sausages were the best I've ever had, and I'm now hunting down recipes to try! A very welcome lunch.

Really great spot for drinks, food and riverside walk

Went for a meal and drink for our anniversary and was invited to join the drag bingo by Sandy. Had such a funny and entertaining evening even winning a prize well done Sandy and Charlie great entertainment recommend to all

What a beautiful place .. fabulous boys behind bar .. thankyou for the lovely welcome . Also the food was amazing .. the nicest we have had in a long time ... very good value for money .. lastly the owner .. lovely lady and so welcoming. We will return one day .. keep doing what your doing because you have a wonderful place and staff .. thankyou . Kerry and tony

Lovely staff, good food. A lovely place.

Avoid like the plague. The incorrect order was served. Food quality really poor. Roast gammon had obviously not been steeped and was so salty it was inedible. Veg undercooked with hard potatoes. Yorkshire pudding cold and hard looked like it had been made the day before. Gravy was thin as water. I would’ve walked out only my son went to talk to them. Youngsters front of house looked to be very inexperienced and fragile so we paid and left with 90% uneaten.

Visited today while staying at hunters moon lodges. Excellent friendly staff, very relaxing sitting near the lake. They were only serving food till 3 & we had recently had a cooked breakfast so they happily plated us up two gorgeous roasts for us to have later. I highly recommend the service & food.

Nice setting by a lake but a tad expensive!. 2 glasses of rose, one serving of hummus & pita bread and 3 small chicken satay skewers came to £30.50. The hummus came with one roasted pitta £6.00the skewers were small and would not have used one chicken breast£6.50, we were astounded. The glasses of wine were large, but we were not given a choice in the matter. Crazy prices for a small snack lunch. In their defence, after I complained, they did bring out 3 more chicken satays, so credit there.

A celebratory afternoon tea for Mum’s special birthday with 18 friends. The food was delicious, sandwiches, cakes & scones & plenty of it. Really attentive service and great communication throughout the booking process. A really lovely venue, totally recommend.

Celebrated our Mum’s birthday at the Lodge with 18 friends and they did a fantastic spread of sandwiches, cakes & scones. Really attentive service, great communication and 100% on presentation. Will definitely be going back. A great venue.

Absolutely great for events! We celebrated our children's graduation from Warminster School here with 40 people. The organization (from Germany) via email with Dean and Antonia was great, we chose the menus beforehand and were allowed to decorate the room in the evening. The restaurant was perfectly prepared for us, all the tables were beautifully set, even with beautiful wine glasses and fresh, large roses! The food came almost at the same time and was good. And Will and his colleagues were simply brilliant: polite, friendly and completely focused. The atmosphere was perfect for this important event!! Thanks!

Our order was taken but not submitted. When they realised after 30 mins, our choices were no longer available. Mistakes happen so no problem at this point. They then failed to put our order through as a priority so we waited another 30 mins and were the last served. The meals were then still wrong. Apologies mean nothing and the offer of a free round of drinks (three cokes) was little consolation for a £70 bill (inc £18 for two pints and two cokes). Avoid.

Visiting the area and decided to stop at The Lodge, and what a wonderful place it is. We wanted a light bite to eat and were advised by Alex that the pork taco was amazing, and he was not wrong! Alex was very chatty and gave us an insight to what was around the local area and told us that there was a direct train to bath which we got the next day. We sat in the bar area on our first night which was nice. It was showing rugby and there was also a fruit machine. We sat in the restaurant on the Saturday night and had the Lodge burger and the sausage and champ which Antonia recommended. Both staff in the restaurant were great and really welcoming and made sure we had everything that we wanted. Antonia was telling us about their Lodgefest music festival over the August bank holiday which sounds right up our street - it's a shame we're away other wise we would definitely have been coming back for it!

Food was lovely, the venue stunning and staff friendly. The only reason I have given 4 stars for food is , beef a bit rare, too much salt on fries and carrots basted with honey or something sweet. Takes away the natural taste of food. Lots of places do this but I think this should be mentioned on the menu. Will visit again though.

Went to The Lodge today formy 60th birthday for the Sunday lunch. Fantastic roast and trimmings and good size portions. I loved the cauliflower cheese. Big shout out to Roseen who served us, we were a large group. Thank you. Would highly recommend the roast here.

Sorry to have to say but this was a truly dreadful experience. The service was beyond slow ie about a two hour wait for main course. The food was very poor. Burnt burger buns, overcooked breaded chicken, unrecognisable chocolate mousse etc. etc. Such a shame as we were out to celebrate a friend’s birthday but a huge disappointment. Do not waste your money.

We visited for dinner whilst staying in the Hunters Moon lodges. Allowed to eat in the bar area with dog which is lovely and had a big screen with sports on. Staff were very friendly and helpful. A drink was spilled and the waiter immediately came over with a new one. Offered treats for our dog too. We had the corned beef hash and steak. Thoroughly enjoyed both meals.

Oh my gosh! The roast is fantastic. Any roast which offers pigs in blankets and yorkshire pudding is a win from me but this was a new level. Staff are super friendly and happy to help with all your questions.

Me and my partner went for a meal down at the lodge on Friday evening as we’re staying in the nearby cabins. The two girls Toni and Erin (I think their names were) were great and helped us decide on what to eat and their recommendations were spot on. Great food and a lovely setting. Great way to start off the festive season.

The vegetables were raw. Couldn’t find the duck, once found, needed a magnifying glass and was tough as old boots! Mains were served about 10 minutes before vegetables and chips. Coffee was served with white sugar and cutlery was lacking.

Sunday lunch was fantastic, we ate in the bar area which was a little quiet and the room could have been a bit warmer. The food was delicious and the service very friendly. I really hope people support the relaunch as it deserves to be busy.

Difficult to park as so busy but eventually got in. Shown to table quickly and with smiles. Food order taken effectively and delivered quickly. Great starter and steak with a good sweet, thanks 😊

Just had a superb Sunday Lunch at The Lodge today having been made aware that Dean Carr, formerly of the Market Table and The Bath Arms Crockerton had taken over the kitchen. Roast beef, Canapés and dessert were all 10/10. Good value and great service I will definitely be making it my Sunday lunchtime venue of choice!

Had a meal here while staying at the adjacent Hunters Moon Lodges. Place is modern, bar tender was friendly and welcoming, we had the burger which was really good and tasty, good price too! The Lodge was quiet, hey it’s lovely to sit outside in sunny weather! Only grumble was the dark driveway down from the road, only a short walk to the lodges but was pitch black! So there’s a tip… wear a head torch 🤣🤣

DONT GO HERE!!! WORSE PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN TOO!! RUDE DISRESPECTFUL OWNER! We came to the lodge as a party of 5 we had ordered food and waited 2 hours for our food, food finally came out too the food being all wrong and not taken into consideration of any changes we asked to be made and was promised, the owner came over to us and rudely questioned us about what was wrong with the food, when we told her that the quality of food was terrible and we would like a refund she got irate about the situation and started arguing with us and forcing us to leave with no refund or anything! Overall a terrible experience with a very very rude owner! I will never come back here again and will happily let a whole load of people know the food and overall the place is terrible! Very very very awful

Wasn’t able to get a refund for food after we didn’t eat it, asked for plain burger and they brought it out and was salad and sauce in the burger sent it back and they just scraped the salad and sauce and gave it back. The owner was drunk and rude and wouldn’t listen to what I was saying. The food took an hour and a half and my chicken in my burger kept sliding out of the bun, 100% never going back.

The food here was really very good indeed, which was quite a surprise in what’s a fairly grotty static caravan site (sorry, Hoseasons, but it is. Try actually maintaining the algae-covered, weed-filled lake for a start. ) The “Coke” was like a bad Sodastream creation, however. However the staff were lovely and the food was excellent - we had tapas and it was freshly made and extremely tasty so we’ll return for the food!

Too be honest, I do not know where to start. I was staying on site at one of the lodges and thought id book a lovely evening meal out to the Lodge, which was the other side of the river. I had previously been here 3 years ago or so, and had the most wonderful meal in the main restaurant, so I was really looking forward to receiving that service again and tasty grub!! I had issues in booking a table, from numerous conversations on facebook messenger, to getting an confirmation email for the wrong amount of guests, to turning up on the night and no reservation was even booked! I had telephoned this place 32 times, on different days and times to try and book a table, fair enough there was an answer phone machine, but what was the point in leaving a message, the slow response via messenger was appalling and not correctly booked. When me and my friend arrived, we walked into the bar area and I was already dreading the fact I would have to sit in there, it was the most uncomfortable atmosphere with what seemed like 'free bar' with all different people helping themselves, I think they were all a big family with the owners of the place, but my god it was not professional!...... Our table wasn't booked, so we chose a table and sat down, I will have to say the lady who served us was extremely lovely- Sarah, and I actually felt sorry for her as it seemed like all night she was sorting out issues and trying to manage things. Sarah did offer us free drinks as an apology, as she did not know about our booking, as well as another couple before us. We ordered some tapas food, which I felt disappointed, it wasn't what was said on the menu, and the Bombay potatoes and hummus tasted of absolutely nothing. The fries, chicken and steak was tasty though! We booked our table at 6.30pm, our food arrive at 7.40pm. Mistakes of the evening 1- communication to book was a joke 2- We had to sit in the bar lounge, and not the restaurant as there was a function going on- we knew nothing about this, therefore the food choice was awful. 3- We felt so uncomfortable, it was full of too much noise and not a nice environment. 4- The running of the lounge bar area was appalling, food was coming out and being left on the bar as the waitress didn't know who's it was, but the owners didn't seem bothered. 5- food was not as expected, or as tasty as last time. good points- 1- Sarah tried her best to make our experience pleasant We will not be returning as there was too many issues from start to finish, such a shame after having such a wonderful experience a few years ago. Unfortunely, The running of the place from bookings to food, to service all comes from management. Although the lady owner ( I think) came to apologize at the table, I just felt it wasn't good enough on this occasion.

We were the only people in for Sunday lunchtime, very odd. Booked by my elderly relatives who did not know the area. The menu was very limited and there had been pictures on line of roast dinners. No roast dinner on the menu. Sausage and mash ordered for two of us and ham egg and chips for one. Apparently there was only enough sausage and mash for one. After an hour and still no food (which had to be paid for up front) a complaint was put in as there were no other customers. Food was average and sausage and mash reheated so a skin had formed on mash. Chips undercooked and ham overcooked. Asked for pudding menu. Twenty mins later still no pudding menu. Was told that the only puddings they had were raspberry ripple and choc ice cream. I feel that my elderly relative, cousin and myself who happens to be disabled were booked in, with The Lodge knowing full well that on that date they could not provide a full service and that we were taken advantage of. Dreadful place, and should hv been full to the eyeballs on a Sunday lunchtime.

Absolutely rubbish first day here and they are not doing food as the chef is on holiday

Came for Sunday lunch with a big group of friends and family. Location is nice and the service was really good unfortunately the food was a big let down. You'd have to be a crocodile to eat the pork roast and the kids chicken burgers were burnt. The coffees afterwards were like rocket fuel but not in a good way. Nice place for a drink only in my opinion.

We went for a late lunch and ate inside, but the whole setting is really nice, you jave, a, viewon tje outside part of the restaurant and on the lake. Very good pub food.

Clean, stopped for cake and hot drink. No cakes, no decaf or hot chocolate. Only a bar with meals and crisps/peanut snacks. Good seating inside and out, slow service with large party. Toilet clean, hand wash and hand cream available.

Visited for a themed bottomless brunch. The service was absolutely amazing. Lovely lovely ladies who were so quick with bringing our drinks and offering top ups. Great restaurant decoration and attention to detail. We all enjoyed the food too. Highly recommend for a bottomless brunch. Thank you!

Get together with friends, beautiful place and roast was superb, will definitely be back , lovely to sit outside. Thank you 😊

The food was absolutely delicious, wish we were local. Highly recommend the chilli beef with cheese nachos :) service was also very good.

Called in on the off chance that we found eat after attending a wedding. We were made to feel very welcome, the service was great and the food delicious. We have already decided to return.

Amazing roast dinners! Excellent selection of choice, great customer service. Our new favourite :-)

Very nice place nice service staff very friendly 👍

Me and my wife went to the lodge we had roast beef dinner was absolutely beautiful definitely going there again nice friendly staff nice setting inside and out ...keep up the good work

Customer service was 1st class.

Really friendly welcoming staff & really lovely surroundings & great hideaway & will definitely visit again & tell all my friends 👍👍👍👍👍

The food we had was amazing we very much enjoyed it The tapas menu was a must The staff were helpful & lovley and accommodating we have eaten in nice places but this was a wow for us we don't give 5 stars with ease please go see for yourself thankyou

Food was awful. Burnt burgers, and buns, over cooked chips, Mash was like thick and stodgy. Salad! What salad. The male barstaff swore a few times, very blaze. Definitely not work £70 and that's just food . Not including drinks.

We often come to the lodge for drinks in the summer and sit by the lake and we love it. We’ve never eaten at the Lodge so my sons decided to treat me for Mother’s Day. On arrival we loved the look of the restaurant and the lovely wood burning fire. The staff were very friendly and looked after us well. The food was another matter! The starters were lovely but we all had the beef and it really wasn’t good. My husbands beef was burnt so was sent back and changed. The roast potatoes were under cook as were the parsnips and carrots. The Yorkshire puddings looked like flat cakes. To be honest it was very disappointing. We will definitely stick to drinks by the lake in future and not venture in to the restaurant again.

We were at first very disappointed to learn that people staying on the sight don’t get discounts on the food and drink. The restaurant was completely dead for a Saturday night and we can semi understand why as the food was luke warm when it...

Best pub and Landlady for miles.

Let's put it this way, we will be coming back !! What a lovely place, can't wait to visit again.

A lovely place, excellent food. Staff were amazing and very accommodating to my husbands gluten free needs. Will definitely go again.

Went for a meal with some friends last night, the food was amazing, the prices were great and the service was excellent. Slightly cold inside the Lodge, however, with -2/-3 outside and the current costs with heating can't complain. Will be back in the future

Went here for some drinks a few nights in a row, as it was near our holiday accommodation. The staff were so nice, the drinks were a reasonable price, it was a comfortable and friendly place to sit and chat and I got to see some cute dogs who popped in: Overall really good. Highly reccomend if you live nearby or are staying on the site round the corner. Would definitely come back if we were in the area.

Amazing roast in a gorgeous setting overlooking the lake. The staff were super lovely and helpful. Highly recommend.

As we are staying local to this restaurant we decided to eat here tonight well we weren’t disappointed. From entering to leaving the service was first class. The menu had several choices both for starter and main course I decided on ‘Soup of the Day’...

This should be our local but we just avoid it now unfortunately. Its a lovely setting in a lovely area but the food is such a let down. Always a long wait and not worth it, and usually only luke warm. The food used to...

I have visited the Lodge now on a few occasions and never been disappointed with the quality of food, staff always friendly, never feel we have to rush our meal, look forward to our next visit. Great team. Thanks.

I came for a few drinks on my 21st and lily and sandy were the most welcoming people I’ve ever come across! They were so chatty and accommodating and gave the best vibe! Always been to the lodge for a few drinks with friends and...

This bar and restaurant is really great. We ate there while staying in the adjacent Hunters Moon Lodges, which I might add are no longer connected with The Lodge. We had a fantastic meal in very a relaxing setting, and the staff were very friendly...

I was cycling this stretch when I decided to stop because my phone was dead. Unlike in other places, they allowed me to charge my phone and rest for a while. The waiter always very kind

Went to the lodge as was staying at the site next door. Went there for a drink one day and the service was lovely as was the girl who served us. However we went in the next night and was told that we couldn't have...

This is the third time we have visited the lodge for food and will be the last. The wait time of food is just simply unacceptable. We have visited with just me and my husband, a table of 4 and a table of 8 WITH...

Great venue, clean, tidy and extremely friendly staff. Went here for a family meal, really the only thing that let it down was the limited menu.

Met up with friends last night for a meal and I have to say the service and food leaves a lot to be desired for. Our table was booked for 7pm and we didn't get our starters until 8.10pm. We asked for a bottle of...

Met up with friends last night for a meal and I have to say the service and food leaves a lot to be desired for. Our table was booked for 7pm and we didn't get our starters until 8.10pm. We asked for a bottle of water for the table but 15 minutes later still no water and then had to ask again. We ordered the Hunters Chicken which had no barbecue sauce. I ordered a side portion of chips which didn't arrive until 25 minutes after my main course arrived and that was only after I had to ask twice where my chips was. Our cutlery wasn't replaced after our startes despite the waitress saying saying she will bring some more cutlery, so I had to go ask yet again. At no point was there an apology from the staff. The wrap that I ordered for my main course was tasteless so I hardly ate any of my food. One of our party said she was going to have toast when she got home as she was still hungry. We were never offered dessert and to be honest by that point I was tired of having to ask for things that should have been part of any restaurant experience. I can say however if you want to go somewhere for a drink it's lovely setting and I have previously had a burger off the bar menu which was nice it just took ages to arrive. Unfortunately we will not go there to eat again.

Usually plenty of parking. Gravel surface but fine for a motorbike or wheelchair. Great staff, local independent business. Friendly staff. Nice outdoor seating near the lake. Menu seems to change quite a bit. Plenty of seating inside and outside.

Amazing food, great service and a reasonable price.

An excellent evening with close relatives with brilliant service and great food would highly recommend.

The food was lovely. Setting pretty too

We went here as we were staying at Hunters Moon. The service was great. Shown to a table straight away and she took our drink orders. I think the waitress name was Sam. I had a chicken dish and my partner had an 8oz sirloin steak with was £24! We also had some halloumi fries which were the best I have ever tasted, a salad which was huge and could have easily been a meal on its own and some seasonal veges. The meal itself was lovely. However the steak was not worth £24. The roast chicken with crushed garlic potatoes and asparagus was nice. The meal took a long time to come out. It didnt help that the table before us had to be redone as the waitress dropped one of the meals on the floor. Outside seating available. Had a lovely view of the lake and our cabin and is a very short walk away.

Lovely place, lovely staff. We were 15 mins late for our 7:15pm reservation due to traffic but we were still able to get seated, the starters took 40 mins to arrive and we left before our mains came due to waiting far too long to arrive by 9pm we Decided to cut out losses and paid our bill, not only because my 9year old couldn't stay awake any longer. As I say lovely place and lovely staff and the starters were good.

Lovely setting, very clean and lovely staff but over an hour wait for a main course is too long, I honestly feel if they had more staff it would be better. I am guessing the kitchen was a bit short staffed and was under stress...

Food was cold, music was OK. The only thing that made it worth while was the company

First time I'd been here. Lovely surroundings, comfortable restaurant area, very friendly service. Fish Pie I had was delicious.

Good choice of food and beer. Staff are lovely. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Just delightful….lovely staff, delicious food, great location. Fast becoming my favourite local restaurant 👍

Very good location. Very friendly staff. Prompt service for a Saturday night. Excellent value for money on food and drinks, especially the wraps which were massive. Definitely would recommend for anyone wanting a nice meal in a unique location. Will definitely visit again.

I have been at restaurant today for the first time with some friends, the food is very good and tasty and staff are very friendly. Deeply recommended! After the dinner we went to the pub as there was a band playing and we thought we could enjoy a bit longer and having some drinks. The barman refused to serve us but keept serving other guests. He justify that these guests have paid earlier a round when I saw the guest paying few second before by card. You have a big liar staff which differentiate the guests. I have been many times at the pub in the afternoon and I have never been discriminated as I was today. Very disappointed with the staff you have at night behind the bar. We have been at the bar for the first time at about 10:50pm and the barman refuse to serve us arguing the bar was closed, which we accepted. However we saw that he was serving other guest and they were paying at that time, which was during about the following 10 minutes after he told the bar was closed, but seems it wasn't for others, and I call this discrimination. As I cannot do separate comments to the restaurant and to the pub I decided to give a 2* instead of 1* due to the good experience we had at restaurant, which is unfair as the restaurant deserve a minimum of 4*.

No-one to greet diner’s and to be seated, general service slow and inattentive, had to get our own menus in the end and go to the bar area to order. Tiny portions of ‘mac and cheese’ and those that ordered this aren’t big eaters. Quality...

Excellent food and staff, you really must try this place, I have stayed at Hunters moon twice and been to The Lodge for food several times and food is excellent

I've wanted to go here for a while, well what a disappointment, we were the only guests there for the first hour but still had to wait 1 and a half hours for our mains then my husbands burger was raw, my friends burger came...

Meal with friends but sadly disappointed. It seemed under-staffed with a large table in, although we were seated before them. Glasses were dirty on the table, ordered steak, lamb and chicken. The lamb was very fatty, and of the carrots 'cooked three ways' - I'm...

The owner sandy is such a lovely kind woman, she made my visit very welcoming. Il definitely be returning. Lovely staff all around. Very impressed. Can’t speak highly enough of the place. Many thanks sandy for a lovely afternoon with you hopefully see you again...

Absolutely 1st class food + service thanks for a great meal + service from start to finish,,we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will be back soon 👍👍👍

Lovely roast for mother's Day. Nice and Friendly staff.

Really nice services from the friendly waitress. Delicious food, highly recommend

Two friends and I enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Lodge on Tuesday. Despite there being many people outside as it was a glorious day, the service was excellent. One lady in our party was celebrating her 90th birthday that day - a fact only...

The food here is just superb! Great staff and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming

Arguably the best food in Warminster/surrounding areas. Staff are fantastic booze is class food is unreal. Not one fault

Such a lovely evening tonight celebrating a birthday. Food was fantastic and service was expectational! Had the Camembert and the Sweet potato Wellington for my main it was fantastic I can’t wait to come back

Unfortunately very bad food, and even more unfortunate was the incredibly defensive response of the management when we asked about issues with our meals. (I’ve never heard of a restaurant threatening to phone the police because you complained about your meal before!) Along with a few of the dishes being totally inedible, we were also asked to pre order (larger table so totally fair enough) but still had to wait 45 mins for our starters, the last main coming out almost two hours after our reservation time. Issues with food happen, but awful management of the situation only compounded our frustration and lack of confidence in the venue.

Was excellent food etc Did not hurry us up. Staff were lovely went with my two daughters son in law, two grandchildren and the dog 🐕

Ok, seen as though you are not taking complaints seriously. Your staff were blasting music from 7pm to 11.45pm on Friday night. Considering you have residents on site staying at the 'luxury' lodges. Do you feel it was the best thing to do? I stand by the 1star. The staff did not simply care about others.

Uncomfortable experience, bad atmosphere, poor food, did not enjoy and wouldn’t recommend or return.

Great food, good atmosphere all round quality place to be. Good view of the lakes really good staff.

I don't write reviews normally but I must say from start to finish we were treated outstandingly by all the staff,,my daughter dropped her dessert all over herself 🙈🙈 the landlady immediately came over wiped her down + replaced dessert free of charge,,very attentive +...

On arriving they were very helpful,but after a hour waiting for our food which wasn't the best by far,I went to the bar to order drinks and the landlady seemed to be a bit tipsy and was forgetting what I ordered because she ask me...

It's really nice here, been refurbished, very friendly staff. Didn't eat so can't comment on the food but warm atmosphere thank you

Good food, friendly, and attentive team.

Place looked nice, pleasant location. Booked a Christmas meal which, with drinks, amounted to approximately £800. Arrived on time, very disappointed to see not a single Christmas decoration on the table, not a cracker in sight just a paper napkin, knife, fork, wine glass and...

The place is so lovely and clean. The bread and dips where lovely but the main meal was a let down. I had the steak and complained at the start to say it was over done and then tried the onion rings which where pure grease. The pepper corn sauce was just cream and some pepper corns. I’ve never had a sauce like that so returned to the chef and was told it was made on site but as I’ve said I’ve never had a sauce like that before and my steak was medium rare! The manager returned the bill minus the steak which was welcome. I got blamed for slamming the door in her face! I’ve never been followed out of a place I’ve eaten at and was just shutting the door!

My wife and I are regulars. We would not return weekly (or twice a week) for over a year if it was not to our liking!
