We had a great time it was my birthday dinner in the scullery (private dining room) ! The staff were excellent at accommodating our extra unexpected guests and very good service! The only disappointment was the fish of the day not being white fish! Would definitely go again and recommend to others! I would check beforehand what the fish would be but we ordered in advance so not sure if this would have helped! Those who had steak were impressed! Thank you xx

What a fabulous place. The food is fantastic. Great portion sizes. I have an allergy and I felt so welcome and accommodated for. There’s a varied selection of wines and non alcoholic cocktails. Toilets are clean and parking is easy. This will definitely be our meeting place. Ooh and the outside seating is gorgeous in the summer.

5 of us met up for breakfast. We had pre booked. The lady on reception led us to the table & informed us that, we must order quickly, before the chef stopped breakfast. We arrived 10 minutes before our booking time?. 10 minutes later the waitress gave us the menu. 4 adults & 1 child. I asked if we could see the child's menu. To be told they only have 1 menu. £11.99 for a 5 year olds child's breakfast. The same price as the adults??. The waitress kept calling us lovelies, which was frustrationg I asked if I could have a sweetener for my tea . She said no we don't have those only sugar! And walked off. A few minutes later after another waitress had heard me ,she came back with a sweetener. ??We were than given our meals and then the waitress brought another cooked breakfast to our table, surely she could see we had our food & this was not for our table? . Noone asked if we wanted sauces or more drinks. When we asked for the bill, we were charged for 6 breakfast not 5. Although the breakfast was very good , we felt the experience was let down by Staff who weren't trained.

A 25 minute wait to order drinks whilst sat at the table did not bode well, the restaurant only had 3 tables occupied! Waitress was asked what Gin’s were on offer didn’t really have much idea. Food was delicious each course involved a good wait in between. Again another wait to be served more drinks, which came missing one. This was then brought and charged at a bottle instead of a glass of wine. Asked for the bill of which then again involved another wait and then a discussion due to the removal of service charge. A member of the table endured their chair leg being kicked as staff walked past on several occasions. Not a pleasant experience at all. We had visited in the past for drinks and enjoyed the atmosphere. We won’t return.

Great venue for a celebratory Sunday lunch with family. Efficient and friendly service and we were given time to enjoy our drinks and nibbles before lunch was served. Delicious starters (Chalk Stream cured trout was wonderful) and our selection of roasts - beef, pork, chicken and veggie wellington - all got five stars! Generous and fantastic quality. Really exceeded our expectations. We’ll be back!

This is a must if you are visiting the Cosham area. Everything about this hotel is 5 star! To start with, there is a very good car park and the hotel is easy to find. The staff at reception make you feel welcome and to be fair all the staff we engaged with were all very friendly. The room is top class and there are a few extra touches that made your stay feel extra special, like complimentary drinks, lavender for your pillow, nice tea & coffee etc. We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant that evening, and listening to the buzz in the restaurant, I think we missed out, although we had a pre-dinner and post-dinner drink in the hotel bar which were both perfect. The breakfast was delicious including the chef's home made hash brown's and beans! We will definitely be back!

Arranged an evening for 5 of us, ordering two 'sharing boards', each of which was described as suitable for 4/6 people so believed I had over ordered by quite a margin. Well, Butcher's board (£45) included exactly the following....1 sausage roll cut into 4 pieces, 2 scotch eggs cut in half and 12 cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon. The Fish board was equally sparse (£50). I was so embarassed I ordered 5 portions of fries @ £4.90. With drinks and service charge the bill was just under £200 and we had to order a takeaway when we got home. I emailed but no one bothered replying, which seems quite common. Previous meals have been mediocre but I was willing to give their hyped up festive offerings a go. I won't be going back. A message to management. If customers email, please have the courtesy to respond.

A lunch with a lovely friend, we had a great chat over a long lunch. Waiter lovely but did not check during meal if ok, and didnt check how our food had been when collected plates even though left items. My friend had the coronation chicken flatbread, all good except salad dripping in dressing which was oily. My peppercorn sauce was without pepercorns, i think they had forgotton, so brandy cream sauce instead which was lovely but no expected spice/heat. Puddings; my friend had choc delice which she enjoyed, i had pineapple mille-feuille- saldly the pastry was flat and fatty and spoilt the dessert. This was my second visit, each time where a friend had booked. At the first visit i had bisque which was grey and tasteless. I emailed after the first visit rather than complaining at the table, regarding my disappointment, and had no reply. I won’t be coming again. I am happy to pay top dollar if it’s done right- it isn’t here sadly.

£16 for a poor cheese board with gherkins ! This is a great pub with a good atmosphere, we stayed the night and had dinner with friends. Nothing much to complain about, it’s pricey but popular, which brings me onto this bizarre cheese board, it lacked any great local cheeses and the kitchen had no sweet pickles, of which there are many to be found in the local shops, they put a pile of gherkins on the plate.. but at £16 it was a bit of a disgrace … so definitely choose something else from the dessert menu.

Hello at the Methuen Arms A very Happy New Year to you all. I can’t quite believe it’s already the 6th of January - Feast of the Epiphany. Where does the time go? I want to say a very big thank you to you all from the family for making our Christmas such a happy and enjoyable occasion. I came to Corsham form York and stayed with you 22-26/12 and my daughter & partner came from London and stayed 24-26/12. My son had organised Christmas lunch for us all + extended family and you made your Green Room available to us. We were 9 adults and 4 boisterous young children. The staff throughout our stay were friendly and helpful. A special thank you from me to Rose for making me ‘Queen' of the day with the lovely silver headband. A special thank you also to James with 'the green velvet jacket’ (hope I’ve got the name right ) for looking after us so well. He was very attentive and I don’t know how he managed it so skilfully because we were not the only guests in the Methuen Arms that day. I hope we make it an annual event With best New Year wishes to all, Joanna W

Whilst we have become accustomed to a begrudging sort of service current in most pubs and bars it was the poor food that spoiled our visit again. People have mentioned that the Butcombe takeover is behind this but we have eaten extremely well at other Butcombe places so it’s not that. The Methuen has so much that’s spot on about it, even the menus look good, it just needs to care more about what they are sending out of the kitchen. We keep trying the food but will return to what is a lovely place for just drinks.

This is part of the Butcombe chain of pubs/hotels/restaurants and we had a very unpleasant experience at their Kings Arms in Melksham around Christmas but the menu here looked good so we gave it a go. My wife and I both elected to go for two starters rather than a main course and we both had the trout cured in IPA. This sounded interesting and indeed looked interesting but in fact was very boring with all flavour having been removed from the trout. I followed this with duck egg and smoked pancetta which was OK and my wife the pressed ham hock and pistachio terrine. Strangely this did not come with any toast so just a slab of terrine with salady stuff on the side. I had a taste and there was no ham flavour and the best description I could come up with was like a bonfire. My wife hated it and left it all. The desserts looked appealing but not wishing further disappointment we skipped it. Now for the only bit of good news. They had alcohol free beer on tap, the first I've seen and it was very good. Well done Butcombe but please do something about your food.

I eat here with friends from time to time but I am really disappointed to feel the lack of character here recently. The garden used to have the most gorgeous trees and plants and it now just resembles a pub style concrete jungle. The new...

Just popped into my local (I live 300 yards away) for a drink. Paid for two drinks before our friends arrived and then went back for a medium glass of wine and a “glass” of Prosecco (£18.75 for the two). When the Prosecco arrived on...

Sunday roast was lovely- we all enjoyed our food and Natasha our waitress was very attentive and polite. Unfortunately things turned a bit sour when an extra dessert turned up. We had pre-ordered our food but cancelled a dessert on arrival. The manager (I assume)...

Gone downhill massively in recent months, the food is sub-par, especially given the prices and they have brought in a new company to manage their car park that resulted in all of our lunch party being sent £60 fines. The pub were completely unhelpful, attempting...

We had a lovely Sunday lunch but were disappointed in an evening meal on our last night. It was expensive and we felt definitely overpriced, so would only go again for Sunday roast.

What a great hotel - super friendly and helpful staff, beautiful rooms and great food. It has a really relaxed vibe and we had a wonderful family stay here over the Easter weekend. The rooms have really nice touches like Bramley toiletries (lovely!), large fluffy...

Sadly disappointed with our visit to the met. No issue with menu. However, the service was disappointing. You can see there is a lot of fresh new staff here, still learning the ropes which isn’t ever an issue and I’ll always have all the patient...

Had a return 1 night stay here in March 2022 after staying previously in early 2021 and having enjoyed our night away. Room was upstairs in the main building, small but perfectly formed. Bed was comfy and room was toasty warm. Room had everything you...

This used to be a super pub restaurant with an excellent menu, including classics and some exciting options. The menu now has very little to offer, gnocchi one dish, followed by carrot risotto as next dish. They offer steak but have removed the fillet. We...

I met up with friends for lunch. Arrived at 1.15 to be told they were no longer serving lunch due to a function. They offered to sell me a packet of crisps at the bar. So I watched my friends eat their lunch (they had...

We have been to the Greyfisher a few times over the last few months and found it has changed for the better. I found the staff very helpful and the food 🥑 one hundred percent improved so very well done to management and staff.

The Old Mill hotel was where we chose to hold our wedding reception earlier this month. The whole event went very smoothly thanks to Lisa, Tobias and the rest of their team who went above and beyond to help us pull off the event. Because of them we were able to hold an intimate but amazing party for my family and friends that we will all remember this for years to come. The setting was magical, the food was amazing and the service was so friendly, accommodating and unbeatable. Thank you so much for all your help at the Old Mill Hotel. The hotel will always hold a special place in our memories and we can’t wait to be back

A Family member decided to meet here for a family meal for his 2 year olds birthday. The table was pre booked for 11 people. When we arrived the initial appearance of the place was slightly worrying, then we entered the building to find there was only 2 other people in the pub, drinking only.. However as many had travelled we decided to stay and eat here as planned. Once everybody had arrived we asked for menus only to be told they didn't have any and that the food options were written on black boards near the bar.. By 5.30pm we had placed our orders. We were still the only people ordering food in the restaurant. At 6.45 the food has still not arrived, the waitress comes out and then says they have no corn on the cob which was ordered as part of the children's meals. 5 minutes later the children's meals finally arrive! They asked for ketchup and mayo, only to be told they had run out, but the landlord was going to pop to local shop to get some. Finally the rest of the food started to appear from the kitchen.. The pork chop was 90% fat, The 'Salad' was a handful of wilted lettuce only, The baked beans were cold, hard and almost white in colour.! Myself and one other had ordered 'Flame Grilled' Chicken burger with blue cheese.. These were the last plates to leave the kitchen after waiting nearly 90 minutes in an empty restaurant.. What we received was an oven cooked chicken breast in a soggy bun. The outside of the chicken had gone hard, once I had bitten into it I realised it was pink (raw) in the middle!! As was the other burger ordered. After showing the waitress she spoke to the manager who kindly told us we would not be charged for the burgers!! Instead of the manager approaching our table and apologising for the wait, the poor service and awful food, he put all of the pressure on the young lady that was running front of house alone.. She seemed very embarrassed, upset and flustered after our time at the restaurant. We felt very sorry for the girl. Very unprofessional from the management.. So in Short. Scruffy initial appearance. Dated, dirty interior. Lack of drinks and condiments. Ridiculous waiting times. Disgusting , overpriced food. Very very poor management.. AVOID !!!

Top food, top garden, absolutely can’t rave about this place enough! Dog friendly, great garden and menu and such a focus on real ales.
