Chose this as one of the few places in Devizes open on a Sunday. Really good choice of food. Proper thick real ham in the panini and loaded filling in the omelette. Interesting mix of pictures and posters on the wall.

Impressive!! Walked past this place a few times, always thought it looked a bit worn down!! Popped in for lunch and the place was packed, I mean staff were running around everywhere, lots of people having a good time, at lunch time!! It was busy busy busy in there and the only tables left were the ones in the rear yard!! so that says something! Great atmosphere, everyone was having a good time… I walked in there and there must have been a party or something cos all the old ladies were busting a move, trying to get a seat or find the best table. They must had a function in their when we showed up or certainly a work due… The ordering area can get congested, it’s close to the front door and somewhat of a hindrance when you’re queuing up to order with people coming and going! But 5* all round, food was great, service was good! Drinks was even better although £3.50 for a Coke Zero needs to be reviewed! Tasty tasty tasty…. A must visit in Devizes for sure!!! We got the fish roll (known on the menu as fish burger) and a chicken BBQ burger with extra onion rings - excellent!! Well done, will be a returning customer!

Called in this morning my myself my wife and one of my children sat on the first floor nice view over the market place, Myself and my wife went for the large breakfast yes I knwo its Good Friday but were both heathens, The breakfast on the whole was really good what let it down was the quality of the sausages, they had a very strange consistency as if they were full of gristle my wife left 1 and a half of her 2 sausages. I did say we'd take them home for the dog. She said the dog wouldnt even eat them. To be honest the breakfast would be better served if the sausages were not on the plate

Our second visit was as good as our first. Good prices, great food and friendly service. The ambience is similar to the lounge but more quirky, bespoke and less formulaic. It's definitely our favourite place to eat in Devizes. Well done Society staff 👍🙏

Wow !!! Well we returned to the New Society on Sunday and as always we were greeted by friendly smiling staff. We sat upstairs next to a window overlooking the square. Placing the food order I took a look at all the wonderful cakes and ordered them to. Drinks arrived followed by our meal. All three meals looked wonderful and tasted even better. My wife had the Goat cheese salad, my mother-in-law had Butter milk Chicken and I as always had the Ham egg and chips. All meals very tasty and very reasonably priced. When ever we get to Devizes I make a beeline for the New Society and recommend you try it out for yourself. Can't praise it enough.

Always great food and good value for money, speedily served by friendly people. Brilliant range of menu options. Only criticism is that it's quite often booked up! There are lots of tables though so it's always worth trying. Nice atmosphere in an old building, could do with a little maintenance here and there though.

I was travelling through Devizes while on business and came across this restaurant, I noticed how extremely busy it was considering it was a Monday afternoon. I went in but saw it was very full, I turned to leave but then the manageress (Rebecca I later found out) stopped me and said that she could sort something out for me. I was seated at a large table where on 2 people were sat after being asked if I could join them. I went to the bar and ordered a drink and some food which came very quickly considering how busy it was. The food was excellent to say the least. The other thing that struck me was how the staff made time to talk to the other patrons and yet still manage to take people's orders and serve them. Rebecca was very personable and also very knowledgeable about Devizes which helped me a great deal as I was actually looking at properties in the area. Overall a great experience and I will definitely make this one of my regular places to visit. A huge thank you to all the staff and keep up the great work Rebecca

This is one of my favourite locations whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner or jusg a straight up oat milk latte with my mum. The food is very reasonably priced, decent portions and always delivered with a smile and genuine warmth and sincerity from the staff. I went there for a Christmas meal and was astounded by how good the food was. The beef stew was utterly DELICIOUS with an abundance of trimmings (which got taken home so nothing wasted). The staff are also genuinely brilliant. Upon a solo coffee trip as a desperate attempt to cheer myself up, every single staff member too time out of their day to offer me support and kindness. I was very touched by their generosity and compassion. I feel New Society is in manner ways, a second home. The welcome is always warm and the food is always hot. They also have the extta benefit of an outside seating area for during the summer. In short New Society is by far, one if the best gems in Devizes.

Fantastic! I took my work colleagues here this morning for a meeting. As soon as we walked in Becca made us feel very welcome. All 5 of us had a fantastic breakfast. The service was great with such polite and attentive staff. I could not fault a thing and neither could my work colleagues. The place was buzzing with people eating and chatting. Such a great atmosphere. We will definitely come back. Thank you New society it was excellent. We will see you very soon.

There are many eateries in Devizes to choose from, but we always decide on New Society when wanting some lunch. The restaurant overlooks the lovely Market Place and has pavement tables outside which are always in demand when the weather is kind. The atmosphere in the restaurant is always superb with customers either there for a quick coffee, cake and catchup with friends or for a decent lunch. The menu is varied and, of note, are the paninis and the incredible omelettes - I don't need to eat for several hours after eating one! The service is always fast and the staff, most of whom have been employed for a long time, are attentive and polite and are overseen by a clearly experienced manager. Importantly for me, this is an independent business and not part of a national chain, and I am always keen to support local businesses and I recommend you do the same!

I come to this cafe regularly, every other Sunday, knowing I can usually get served if I get there before 3.30pm, I turned up at 3.25 and was told no to food as the kitchen has been closed. I asked why, the blond woman said it had not been busy. As a business owner, I always attend and go the extra mile for my regulars, as they are the people that keep your business going. It’s obvious when someone is lazy and can’t be bothered, I would have been happy with a sandwich but wasn’t given any option at all. It’s short sighted to turn down money if you want employment. Good bye New Society.

Random choice when visiting Quakers Walk parkrun, and the 4 of us were very satisfied by the lovely vegetarian breakfasts and omelette. Great value, friendly service. If you walk in and it looks a tad busy, bear in mind they have at least two more rooms upstairs. Clean and comfortable. Thanks for looking after us. We were even provided a box to allow one of us to take part of their meal away as it was such a generous portion.

Still great food but really needs a deep clean and some cosmetic maintenance. The floors are dirty, particularly around edges and furniture, tables are really sticky and there was a fly collection on the windowsills that was weeks if not months old. Shame because the food is still good, but lack of cleaning in the customer space is worrying.

It was nice would go there again . We had sandwiches and chips with side salad , freshly made and reasonably priced . Order and pay at the counter , CASH ONLY . Then its waitress service from there , our waitress was lovely . Unfortunately for us a large family with children turned up and took the central table in the small room , I was getting my chair knocked every time the woman got up (frequently) , and it just got too noisy with the kids and chairs being scraped on the wooden floors . *obvs no reflection on the coffee shop , just a people in general rant 🤷🏼♀️ * So we went and finished our (very nice) coffee outside at the tables out on the street .

Dinner at New Society, I prebooked for my wife at me to eat here on a sunny Saturday night. The food was great, the service was very good and we enjoyed a few dishes from the tapas menu and a main menu plus yes desert. The good thing about this place is that gluten free is clearly marked and the choices is wide enough to get me salavating. When I recieved the first dish chili nachos, it was made with proper beef, this is impressive! Thank you everyone at NS great meal and great service.

Always had great service great food and a great atmosphere. The review that was left a week ago I find incredible as I was there at the same time . The arrival time that was stated as 11.50 was more like 11.40 for the booking at 12.00 to which the managers response was nothing more than a passing comment of surprise at how early it was and in no way Surley !! Also the place was full with no spare tables and the elderly ladies were happy to move as they had been informed prior to your arrival that it was reserved The headline in the review I feel is a personal attack on the manager who acted professionally and courteously the whole time and the restaurant benefits because of her . It does not however benefit from inaccurate reviews

This is fairly local to us and we decided to have an early evening birthday dinner. Even at 6 on a Monday it was pleasantly busy creating a nice atmosphere. Service was prompt and friendly and there was a good range of real ales on offer including 3 kegs of guest beers. Food choice was exceptional to the point of making it hard to decide which of several options to choose. When it arrived the food was extremely good and well presented. All in all a very good experience.

More style and price, than substance. Lovely setting, beautiful rambling walled garden with posh servers. But the restaurant food can be really bad! Bean dip (but called something much more lyrical, which I forget) was tasteless/ bland. Even I can just liquidise a tin of beans, and burn a carrot, but I season them properly and do expect much more for the prices. Much is made of local suppliers, and the meat dishes always seem to get better comments from my friends. The veggie food and deserts are expensive and not tasty, original or quality. If you are happy paying highly for meaty food, in a unique setting, then feel free. But I would avoid veggie and vegan (and probably the deserts).
