The Oddfellows in Wiltshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Hours are wrong?? On here it says it’s open from 6 on a Tuesday but when we arrived for a birthday dinner last night the sign on door says closed every Monday and Tuesday all day. Also said it was showing every England match… clearly not last night’s I guess? Was disappointing.

Thank you for an outstanding meal and service. My partner and I had an important moment to celebrate, and we could not have come to a better place.

Lovely small Pub had Sunday lunch there but over priced had chicken and asked if we could have a Yorkshire Pudding with it but the chef came back no who said you can't have a Yorkshire pudding with any meat. Also it was a very small dish of veg between two of us will not be going back

Only had drinks. Nice cosy pub.

Sadly having to give a negative review. We went for Sunday lunch and it was terrible - asked if they do children’s menu, no said waitress but we can do half portions, ok so my husband asked if he was also able to order half portion as he is currently unwell and little appetite- yes says waitress. Ordered my meal specifically NO GRAVY Meals ordered food comes - mine swimming in gravy - My husband charged full price - roast spuds all cold - I mean like from the fridge cold! - Cauliflower cheese also cold - One meal was asked to be completely changed as cold and it returned completely microwaved with roasts and Yorkshire missing So we tell the waiting staff all this and it is completely ignored We will not be returning

Arrived for Sunday lunch with family. One of us asked for a roast with no meat, another of our party asked if they did small or half portions to which we were told they did. The “vegetarian” roast arrived stone cold as did our bowl of vegetables so we asked for fresh ones of each to be served. To which they chucked my original dinner in the microwave (nothing had moved and the veg returns dry and crusty) however the rest of our party were left with cold vegetables all round… when the vegetarian roast was returned randomly my Yorkshire pudding had been removed meaning I paid £19 for two roast potatoes and a serving of veg. The meat, both lamb and beef, served were fatty and chewy. My father who had asked for the half portion was also charged £19 (full price). When we tried to raise our dissatisfaction we were told they didn’t offer half portions hence why we’d be charged full price and that they would “look into” us being charged £19 for a plate of dry veg… needless to say after half an hour no one returned to offer any form of apology or compensation. The staff, albeit young and possibly inexperienced, didn’t know what they were doing and didn’t seem remotely phased that we were unhappy with our food. And the owner/manager was clearly in a foul mood and each time we approached the bar to order food or drinks he was moaning and complaining about something or another. Would not return and would recommend people avoid!!

Interesting menu and friendly place.

Charming pub with a great garden with children’s play area. However the food was awful. Ham, Egg and Chips for I think 18 pounds = an over cooked egg yolk, and school dinner oven chips. I thought I ordered a regular burger. Can’t go wrong. Instead I was served a burger cooked to death and drenched in a gloopy sauce and finished under the grill. No bun on top, but they left the bun on the bottom? Why? Soggy to the point of no return it was all very confusing. And again for very unreasonable 18 pounds. I chased a portion of fries for my eldest child that weren’t brought out. They said they were on the table. After a back and forth and me having to walk back to my table, 10 minutes later they said they didn’t place the order. I said leave it. Having worked in hospitality in my younger years, I just would have brought a portion of fries out. This pub is a great half way meeting point for us and some friends coming from Bristol and London, where we have a wealth of great pubs serving food. Disappointed today, I wish I took photos 😞

Great village pub, a short and lovely walk from Marlborough town centre. Good food and drinks and a nice outside space on a sunny day.

Been coming to the Oddfellows / Outside Chance for 10+ years , through at least 3 sets of owners. Having come twice in 2024 so far ,I can say that it is the best it has been in the past 10 years. Staff are great, the food is superb and still a very warm welcome . I hope it continues to thrive , it is clearly a well loved pub.

A new landlord has transformed the pub. Good food, comfortable and attentive staff.

Excellent village pub, great food and service. Nice selection of games too

Excellent village pub. Very cosy inside with an open fire, and a beer garden out the back. Recently re-opened under new management. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and there is a new menu that we thought was delicious.

We found this beauty after our visit of Avesbury stonecycle (also worth a visit) because we got really hungry. First we were uncertain because of a parking lodge for our motor home but the lady of the Oddfellows allowed our stay. We got a heart warming welcome and could stay for a lunch. It was really delicious. The whole place was really family friendly and our 3 year old son enjoyed the playground in the backyard of the place. We met really kindly people there and left well saturated :D We recommend a visit and a taste of their variety of dishes.

This pub is under new management and it’s a huge improvement. Great new menu, unpretentious and delicious. Friendly, welcoming atmosphere, unrecognisable from how it was before. I’d really recommend going along to try it out

Eaten here twice now and the burgers are absolutely epic and service was great. Will definitely be visiting again.

We booked a table here for lunch following a dog walk in West Woods, 6 adults, 2 kids, a baby and 2 large dogs. Admittedly it was a quiet, dreary Monday lunchtime, but we received a warm welcome and given plenty of space to accommodate us all. A good selection of dishes on the menu, and the food when it came was obviously homemade, all served together, hot and very tasty. Only slight downside was the portions were so huge, we couldn’t explore the dessert menu! Will definitely return

Excellent Sunday roast!! Portion is huge! Probably could have shared with my husband but managed to eat most of it. It was delicious. Lots of parking in the back. Would recommend for sure.

After a long day of showing our American friends around places surrounding Marlborough, this pub was the icing on the cake!..Friendly staff, food was excellent, better than we had expected infact..prices were absolutely value for money considering the portion sizes and quality. We would definitely recommend Oddfellows to anyone who was considering a 5* service with excellent food! Bubble and Squeak, lamb and bacon burger, haddock,salmon and cod fishcake with lemon and dill sauce..wonderful!

Beautiful place, food exquisite, service amazing

BH Monday, we hadn't booked but a table was made available pretty promptly. Time 13.30 The menu was varied and the food was excellent quality, the portions generous and well presented. The service was very usegood. Friendly and competent staff. Well worth a visit.

Fair sized Sole in butter went down a treat.

Great service and really nice food. Would recommend the Sunday lunches.

A friendly local pub. We only had drinks so I cannot comment on food.

Every element of the meal was exceptional and the service was without fault. We will be returning in the near future.

Very friendly and competent staff. Even though the pub was quiet, there was a good atmosphere. Best fish and chips we've had since arriving in the country 😋.

It used to be good, now don't visit. Usual poor Wadsworth drinks selection. Over-priced food. New owners.

It looked like a really nice pub. A great shame they do not make it clear on their website the times they serve food. They stop serving lunch at 2:30 btw. A great shame as we had only driven for an hour and a half to get there. The menu looked really good too ☹️

Amazing food! I mean outstanding! HUGE portions (go for the light plate if you don't have a big appetite!) A limited menu, which is good - better quality across streamlined choices. They have daily Specials too, as I understand. My fellow diner had the Mussels plat du jour and was very, VERY happy with the dish!! The pub itself is cosy, traditional with modern touches. Small car park though, so get there early for lunch!

Very good pub only downside is a small car park

We booked in for 16 of us, a big family meal last weekend, and did a pre-order for the food. The service was brilliant, food delicious and really generous portions. Kids loved the playground and there were some beautiful walks nearby to walk off all that food! We would definitely go there again.

I can't rate the food as we only stopped in for drinks. Great beer well kept. Lovely relaxing beer garden with swings and climbing frame for our young daughter. Friendly efficient staff, and although we didn't have our dog with us, I could see that dogs are very welcome here.

Fantastic gem in a beautiful hamlet. Food was delicious, I had a roast Turkey. Definitely worth the trip. I made a detour off the M4, glad I did.

A really good park for kids and lovely staff but so overpriced for the quality. The food really wasn’t great and it was very expensive, also the decor is a bit drab and stale.

Had lunch here today with friends after visiting West Woods to see the beautiful bluebells . A lovely pub , very friendly staff and food great and good value ! Would definitely recommend 🙂

Although the pub was very busy, the welcome and service was excellent throughout. The food was of a very high quality and would definitely recommend this pub.

Great pub. Nice food. Great service. Friendly staff.

We walked here from Marlborough and enjoyed a delicious pub lunch before heading back to Marlborough. Having phoned ahead we were impressed that the member of staff who greeted us on arrival recalled the information given and asked us about our walk. We both chose baguettes that were very substantial and tasty, served with salad and chips. A great traditional pub with lovely staff and fab food. Highly recommended!

Stopped off for lunch at this very pleasant pub. Friendly staff and good atmosphere with reasonably priced, tasty food. It's worth a visit if you are in the area.

We really enjoyed our lunch here, I would absolutely return if we were in the area. Thanks for the amazing service! The ginger beer fish and chips are highly reccommend. Thanks for a lovely lunch

Gorgeous lunch today thanks so much . The pie was a mazing !

A nice dog friendly village pub.

Lovely food in a dog friendly pub

Great welcome As biker that means get my money again 6x great beer So friendly and nice bar manger Girl Stated busy for food so small area .we opted to drink in coverd garden .with good outdoor space .and she was overwhelming buy putting on patio heaters and turning on twinkly lights Looking forward to revisit and meal next time .

Nice little village pub just outside of Marlborough down a nice quiet country road. it was really busy when we got there and had other tables reserved also for a Saturday afternoon was lovely. staff friendly and helpful because no room inside the manager put the heaters on under canopy which was nicely decorated. Plenty of seating. We are going to go again to try food. Lovely atmosphere and a big children's play area. Would recommend

Stoped off on a dog walk for a quick pint. Lovey covered area outside.

Fabulous pub. Walked in without booking. The landlady and staff were very welcoming and the pub was dog friendly. Food was amazing and the interior cosy and traditional. Great pub after a walk on Ridgeway or Wansdyke

The perfect British pub! Fantastic food, service and drinks! Couldn’t recommend enough, dog friendly too and they mean it! Highly recommend

Hard working staff, busy and amazing food. Puppy friendly 😊. Very nice host 👌

Nice food and good portions. Service was very good

We had our friend's annual Christmas get-together here yesterday and the team did a great job hosting a large group, the food was really yummy and the service was great! we will be coming back! Thank you.

We were served a delicious lunch by two charming and cheerful ladies. We were warm and comfortable in a very nice pub atmosphere. What more could one want.

Nice pub with good service and amazing gnocchi!

Been to this pub many times with the previous landlord and loved the ambience but this time it was as if the staff cannot wait to go home, plus awful unrecognisable music and unfortunately the food is very expensive for what it is my fish was cold and my triple cooked chips weren't even cooked properly with about 10 petit poi's peas for £16.50 also my friends ribs for £15.95 he had 4 the sauce was horrid and the coleslaw wasn't it was a couple of slices of onion with a tiny amount of carrot 😢 tbh it was awful and the staff can't be bothered

Great food & service, will definitely be going back again.

Really good traditional pub with good beer and a lovely walk from Marlborough.

Pleasantly surprised. We have been driving back from London and wanted to have lunch. The cooked dinner / fish and chips were succulent and the portions generous. Will definitely dine there again.

A lovely pub. They hosted a reception for me, lovely food, nothing was to much trouble. Great

Good food, friendly staff, very accommodating.

Very expensive given the average quality of the food. Standard salad - £17??

£11 for a small glass of house white and a pint of moretti. Incredibly expensive food: £7 for bread and olives! And £17 for the cheapest burger. the garden was a right state, lovely pub inside though and the staff seemed sweet. Only reason the pub is receiving the stars.

Being near Marlborough you could have a reasonable expectation that a place might offer a slightly (it only needs to be ‘slightly’ at pub prices) better standard to be pleasing enough. Printed-fresh paper menu sheets can be a good sign & reassuringly there was not too wide a selection on offer, mostly made-daily home-cooking stuff or grill fare.. However the pub was full of Marlborough types. Not quite wealthy enough to have servants so they look down at you instead.. The food was when it eventually came was just average-pub & my beer (local) hadn’t been looked after… To be fair they were busy with what looked like a WI AGM party upstairs but we had to go to the bar twice to tell them we were ready to order.. The good news is I’ve got the research job of finding somewhere else to go..

We hosted circa 50 guests for our wedding blessing and couldn’t be happier for doing so. Holly and her colleagues tirelessly worked to make sure we had the best experience. All our guests said it was some of the best food they’d ever had at a wedding. They really tried to accommodate all the various special requests. Incredible service, delicious food, great attention to detail on decorations, all done whilst harbouring a welcoming and positive attitude right from the owner to each and every member of staff. Could not recommend any more for big functions!

Love the atmosphere here and the beer was great Must thank the chef for his advice on how to cook the beef rib we had waiting for us We will definitely be back

Very nice cozy pub. Feels very comfortable. Great place to go for a meal and a pint. Food was fantastic. However, I felt that the service was not authentic and I was not too pleased to see that the sauce I was offered cost 2.50 extra plus there was an automatic service charge added to the bill that was not mentioned. Perhaps a little bit of greed by plumping up the final price without showing it on the menu item! Pity because it spoilt a perfect impression.

My friend and I chose to visit the Oddfellows for lunch today - a very hot day, but we sat in a lovely shady, cool courtyard. We ordered banquettes - myself coronation chicken and my friend chicken and bacon - both on granary baguette, came with side salad, fries and coleslaw. Absolutely delicious but it had us beat - too much to eat on a very hot day. We will return

The food was good but chips more like wedges, ask for fries which were excellent. Chase dessert if you think you have waited too long.

Very nice pub in a great setting within Manton - nice outdoor seating area with good kid's play equipment and great drinks :)

Took visiting friend for lunch. We sat in the garden as wanted to enjoy the sunshine. Garden was unkempt and the only table available (uncovered) was next to collapsing fencing (and noisy fan vent from kitchen). Both had prawn sandwich with Marie Rose sauce and salad, and chips. Chips were very good but the rest wasn’t. The prawns were completely tasteless and so was the sauce, which seemed watered-down. All I could taste was the margarine spread thickly on the bread. The salad had some sort of dressing on, which seemed to consist of oil and nothing else. I was embarrassed to have taken my friend there.

Went here for lunch with friends with my small dog. Very dog friendly. All staff were welcoming and friendly and service was excellent. Atmosphere was very pleasant. Food arrived quickly, and looked very attractive. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5 is that I had the fish and chips, batter was crisp, chips looked good, but it all tasted a bit bland and the mushy peas were dryish and didn't help on adding flavour (there had been salt on fish batter so wasn'tlack of salt). No other sauces on the table bar sachets of mustard/vinegar/mayonnaise (I unfortunately don't like mayonnaise and the other condiments didn't help) I could probably have asked for ketchup, but didn't, which may have helped. I would have loved to have given 5 stars otherwise.

Taken here by friends for our first visit. The food was good and enjoyable, but highly priced for what it was. The starter was fairly expensive,( chicken liver parfait) although the main course ( pie of the day) was reasonable. However the puddings were highly priced !( Small helpings of ice-cream. It was effectively a child's portion for £8. )There were four of us altogether. We had two bottles of Spanish red wine between us, plus a pint and a half pint for the two men.The two ladies only had a couple of starters each. Both men had a main course, while only one had a starter and only the other had pudding with just one of the ladies also having pudding too. It wasn't three courses each. Three had coffee afterwards.Total cost £156.We thought it was rather a lot of money for a pub supper. We also had to send a water glass back because it hadn't been cleaned properly, although it didn't spoil the meal as such. These factors just undermined what was otherwise a friendly supper out with friends whom we hadn't seen for a while.. It was rather a shame.Our host did comment to a member of staff about the price of the dessert. Hopefully it will be corrected.

We were a party of 6 adults & 2 children. Food was of an excellent quality, well cooked and presented.

Delicious! You'll need to take a good appetite with you though 😋

We arrived for a meal, having booked for it over a month previously. To say that we were stunned when shown to a dilapidated area called The Courtyard would be an understatement. Having worked as a property agent I can only say that should I have described it as a courtyard I would have had my professional qualifications stripped off me under the Property Misdescriptions Act. It is a grimy, cold, concrete slabbed bleak area bounded on two sides by grubby plastic, complete with a wall with fake stone wallpaper and a ludicrous cheap Caribbean beach scene. Why? When I explained our dissatisfaction to the surly waitress she seemed to imply that we had deliberately booked it (which if we had would have implied we were insane) or that all on-line bookings automatically get directed to this ghastly area. At no point did she appear in any way concerned with our disappointment but answered back with an attitude of 'take it or leave it' . I immediately got on my phone and attempted to book another 3 establishments but they were all unable to accommodate us. We decided to grin and bear it and then waited an hour for the starters to appear. The time of serving seemed to be a 'punishment' for complaining as we observed numerous others who had arrived after us getting food before us. The food was perfectly acceptable, albeit under the circumstances a complete waste of money. At all times the service was begrudging at best and rude at worst, all the way down to the aforementioned waitress who twice left the door open to the outside so we could get even colder-if that was possible. I can't comment on the inside as we never saw it but would urge anyone to avoid the so-called 'Courtyard' like the plague.

We visited the pub for an early evening dinner, having previously visited during CoVID lockdown shortly after the pub had changed management. Our previous visit had been very enjoyable so we had high hopes of a repeat.... BUT... On arrival, the staff extended a warm greeting and were helpful. We'd requested an outdoor table and shown to the 'courtyard', walking through the pub which was busy and seemed very pleasant. The courtyard turned out to be a glassed-in area which felt like a waiting room devoid of any atmosphere with any colour, flowers, shrubs etc. The area was empty of Guests. The stone flooring was extremely dirty and stained, the tables unclean and the chairs a mix of very old furniture, also very dirty. The whole courtyard area was uninviting and stark; clearly no one had taken time to clean and prepare for Guests. The flooring appeared never to have had a pressure wash or thorough clean and this extended to the path to the toilet which was equally dirty. We checked out the garden as an alternative, but again, the tables were randomly spread without chairs and the whole are was very messy and unkempt. This was not the place for us to enjoy a relaxing evening. We're great supporters of local village pubs particularly in the Summer when we like an outdoor eating experience. but we won't be returning until the pub gets a thorough clean and upgrade to its external facilities.

Nice little pub with parking, garden and courtyard. Indoor fireplace. Staff are very friendly and they have a good range of options, including a gluten free menu. Food is generally good!

Lovely but not cheap! Made to feel very welcome with the dog.

Very friendly. Only stopped for a drink when out walking but food looks good so will return.

Very nice pub theestaff were very friendly and helpful. Nice food.will go back.

Fantastic place to have lunch. Nice food and atmosphere. The brownie with vanilla ice-cream was so good!

Nice decor, nice staff, food reasonably priced & car parking. Would definitely visit again. Lots to read on the walls about horseracing, which is also the pubs general theme.

We had a family lunch here which was excellent. The service was friendly and spot on, whilst the presentation and standard of cuisine was superb. We can definately recommend the Sea Bass and Chicken Supreme main courses, as well as the Chocolate Tart and Sticky...

Earlier this week we held a fundraising pub quiz at The Oddfellows to raise money for a local primary school. The evening was a great success, raising over £600. The Oddfellows were fantastic hosts. They were extremely accommodating, the food was delicious and the service...

Excellent service relaxed and friendly well above average food loved it highly recommended

Good solid pub menu with well cooked food. Friendly service, a cosy bar and restaurant area and a pleasant garden. There is also a covered courtyard with lots of heaters. Just outside Marlborough, its a lovely 30 minutes walk from Marlborough through fields and parts...

We found Oddfellows online and went for dinner. The bar is small and really comfortable, its very welcoming, the gentleman serving was friendly and went out of his way to make us feel at home, even our little dog. The menu was not too large...

Took the Mr's here for valentine's evening meal...The staff were very welcoming and accomodating,we never had to wait to long for our meals to be freshly cooked for us...I had the serloin steak with chunky chips, onion rings, mushroom,tomato and rocket salad...The Mr's had double egg,ham,peas and chunky chips...All very enjoyable,washed down with some nice drinks...It is a very pretty village pub and we'll worth a visit...👍

Excellent food and service as always, had the burger and friends had sandwiches all loved the food will defo be back soon

Popped in for a quick pub lunch - Unfortunately won’t be popping in again! Had a Brie and bacon sandwich, didn’t think you could go wrong, bread was cheap, hardly any Brie and the bacon wasn’t good. Bunces cafe in Marlborough charge the same price...

Whilst I appreciate pubs have it tough at the moment, most will do everything possible to make the experience as pleasant as possible. I have been a local to this pub for a long time and seen it change hands many times. Thought I would...

Good beer and friendly team. Food is good good value for money.

The food is amazing the pub is dog friendly and friendly staff will be going back again

£8 for three squid rings as a starter is a bit of a pisstake... as is the two small chunks of deep fried chesse for another, you guessed it... £8! Pretty disappointed if I'm honest.

Absolutely fantastic!! Excellent menu choice and delightful service. Will definitely be back. Thank you for a fabulous lunch.

Looks lovely I can't complain at that but having a meal there was very disappointing, easy egg ham and chips...eggs over done, peas were hard and covered in pepper...the chips were so over cooked they sounded like rocks wen drop on my plate....Rock solid....as for...

My partner and I visited this pub for a midweek lunch after a long walk in the local woods, we ordered warm bread olives and olive/balsamic oil as a starter, it arrived quickly and was fabulous, very well presented, fresh that day and so very...

unfortunatly changes do happen, and not always for the best, Owners change Management change Staff change if you remember the great place, dont think its the same restaurant !!

caution, places change, and the staff, and they cant rely on previous great service. All gone down hill

Good food in a nice outdoor environment

Excellent food and great atmosphere; portions of food are big!
