The Ox Row Inn in Wiltshire

I visited Friday 11th October to a very busy bar. My server was John who was quick, prompt and friendly… Will definitely be back and recommend.

Met old friends initially for a coffee. Coffee was excellent with great service. We decided to have lunch. Three of us settled on the battered Haddock. The meal was superb and the fish so fresh that it melted in your mouth. Coming from Brixham that was praise indeed!

This place is literally on the market square in Salisbury. It has a quaint decor and you can tell that there are locals who frequent it often. We came in for a couple pints and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Very nice roast although out of Yorkshire puds but well compensated with extra veg. We always leave very full up. Great staff.

On a recent visit to Salisbury we fancied a drink so stopped at the Ox rRow. It was a lovely afternoon so we sat outside. When my husband appeared with the drinks and told me how much they had cost I couldn’t believe it! I appreciate pubs are not having an easy time at the moment but just over £20 for a beer, a glass of wine and two packs of crisps is outrageous. Needless to say we drank up and left!

The Ox Row Inn es un típico pub en la localidad de Salisbury. Se encuentra muy céntrico y fácil de encontrar. Pub decorado al estilo England, pero más “abierto” en comodidad y espacio, además cuenta con una amplia terraza. Buena variedad de cervezas como es habitual en estos lugares; también cuentan con buena cocina y excelente servicio. Buena opción para un lunch o simplemente tomar unas pintas !!

It's amazing to me how much a sign could make a difference when picking this place to eat. I'm not sure if the staff deliberately choose not to let potential customers know that they also serve food upstairs or if they just think everyone automatically knows that this is the case by mind power alone. Myself and two friends stopped here for dinner on an early Saturday evening a few weeks ago. After standing at the bottom of the stairs waiting by the sign for someone to ask if we wanted to eat, we decided to take a look upstairs ourselves where we discovered the area was practically empty and two staff members who were having a good old chat about their lives. After waiting for them to finish their chat, we asked if they were serving food and if we could take a seat. I feel the only reason this place wasn't busy upstairs is because of the unfriendly feeling people get from the front of house staff and the misunderstanding that there is also another floor where you can relax and order your food despite it being busy downstairs. The food is really good and well worth the money, I think with a little tweek here and there, this would be a great place to stop

Visited for food with friends but ended up eating elsewhere. Menu choices initially looked reasonable (if not a little expensive) but with roast cauliflower as the only vegetarian option available, we felt the Ox Row really couldn’t be bothered to cater for non-meat/fish eaters and was making as little effort as possible to offer a suitable menu. An alternative dish of pea ravioli would have been a great option but it was served with bacon, which seems pretty short-sighted when it could have made an excellent vegetarian choice. Staff seemed bored and more interested in chatting among themselves hidden away from the main bar. A question about one of the beers was met with a shrug and a cba attitude. The Ox Row used to have some excellent staff-chatty, helpful and funny- not sure what’s happened but I won’t hurry back after this visit.

Jade B completely rocked my world today at the Ox Row. Super efficient, friendly and generous staff, fab ambience and generally awesome experience. These guys have brightened my day!

Best Sunday lunch I’ve had in ages. Lovely pub, great service thoroughly recommend. Delicious roast beef with great selection of vegetables. Serviced was food and served quickly.

Excellent food friendly atmosphere. Went here with our 2 dogs. Amazing food. Lovely atmosphere.highly recommended.

Went for a roast dinner, was a lovely pub with nice staff. Sat down and asked if the pork came with crackling, was told yes. Both ordered pork and it came quickly and was a large portion and was hot. However the “crackling” was actually just pork scratchings in a tub of apple sauce😂. Not what I was expecting and was disappointing and not worth £18.95

So I went to the Ox Row for New Years 2023 Eve, to find out we needed to leave at 09:30pm. I can't tell you how disappointing this was for a city centre location.

After being treated appallingly at a steak place round the corner we find ourselves lucky enough to get a table here on Christmas Eve. We have been to the Ox Row before but this time the atmosphere was even better as it was lovely and Christmassy. The waitress was lovely, helpful and polite so different from the previous place we had to walk out of. Thank you, you saved our Christmas eve.

My wife and I popped into this great city centre pub having decided at the last minute to have a Christmas lunch. Although we hadn't booked the staff were very friendly and one member of staff in particular enquired as to whether they could squeeze us in. They could and the turkey lunch was excellent. The ale is also very good here. We thoroughly recommend this friendly pub to anyone - and we will be booking next year's Christmas lunch. Thank you.

My wife and I decided to go for a Sunday roast at short notice and we went into The Ox Row Inn at Salisbury and to say we were impressed would be an understatement. The whole experience from start to finish was 5 stars, highlights was the atmosphere, the food and the service. The food itself was so fresh, hot, flavoursome, good variety of vegetables and overall amount. As I said the service was brilliant, Paris was our host and she was superb. It was the first time we have eaten there, just had drinks before but we will be back again for a meal. Highly recommended.

We visited last night for a quick drink on our way home. Usually one of our favourite pubs, but certainly not anymore. Nearly £24 for two large glasses of Sauvignon Blanc, what a complete rip off. When queried, the staff member just grunted and shoved the price list in our general direction. Such a shame.

By far the best Sunday Lunch in Salisbury The Manager is so accommodating and the place is always full Attentive service - good value - will recommend and always return

Muy buen sitio para comer, comida típica, todo buenísimo Atención genial Recomendable 💯 Llegamos en una excursión y fueron muy rápidos A pesar de no entendernos muy bien El trato fue fantástico

Not our first visit here, as we've always found it very welcoming with really good food. Faith and Jade were great, genuinely friendly, knowledgable, attentive and efficient. The food, my wife had Ox Cheek, I had Haddock and Chips, was superb. And it's a pleasant environment too. We'll be be back again for sure.

We came in at Lunch with only one waiter working the restaurant which was very full. He gave fantastic service and apologised profusely for the longer than normal wait times. Food was exquisite and Ciarans service was second to none, delightfully funny good knowledge of the beers. Fantastic food and drinks, good service will return!

Schöner, großer Pub mit tollem Essen und freundlichem Service. Bestellung und Bezahlung alles mit dem Handy möglich.

Brilliant service, great food and lovely atmosphere in a busy pub. Highly recommended place to visit in the heart of Salisbury.

Had lunch with some friends today and was served by a lovely chap called Kieran. Food was amazing, will definitely be returning and recommending to others.

C’est bien mieux qu’un pub ! Ambiance cosy, service agréable et professionnel. Il y a plein de plats typiquement anglais à découvrir, accompagnés de bières ou de cidres. Quant au prix : bah, lorsqu’on voit le prix de certains lieux où on a une mauvaise pizza industrielle, eh bien, franchement, ici, c’est super bien. La décoration est de très bon goût. Ce lieu donne envie d’y revenir en toute saison. Atmosphère conviviale. Il y a quelque chose qui fait qu’on s’y sent bien. A ne pas manquer.

Family visit to watch the Lionesses beat the Aussies in the semi final of the World Cup. Staff were really welcoming which made for a lovely atmosphere. The food was top notch too!

I am visiting salisbury with my family for a long weekend, on Sunday (14/08/2023) my kids, husband and I went to the Ox Row Inn for Sunday lunch. We were given the best service from a waitress called Molly. She went above and beyond to meet our demands. She was quick with table service and was a very polite young lady. I look forward to going back with my family very soon.

We saw the roast silverside beef on the board, advertised as perfectly pink, it was not! We ate at around one pm and somehow everything was dried up, the beef was overcooked, the Yorkshire pudding was so crunchy it shattered when trying to put our forks in, and the parsnips were just plain burnt ! For £20 a head we expected better than this, what we got instead of a treat out was a mediocre, lack lustre plate full of singed offerings! The service was good though, I’m guessing they had to get it out of the kitchen swiftly before the smoke alarms went off!

The Toilets, both ladies and gentlemen were disgusting! And as for the drinks prices! Over £16!!!! For a pint of Guinness and a small bottle of Prosecco!!! Never again will we go there again. It’s all about the money!

Walked in for lunch to be advised only the bar area tables were in use. OK, ah bar area tables all taken. Message clear, enough lunch work already done so no more wanted. Went to Stoby's Fish & Chips 2 doors down & made most welcome.

Jason our waiter was good. Roast was huge, too big if anything. Managed to fit us in on a busy Sunday

A fantastic spot in historic Salisbury. Despite the humid and rainy day (English weather!) the inn was cosy with a great atmosphere. We especially appreciated the excellent service from barman Tom, who was welcoming and efficient, as well as helpful, advising us on the English...

The pub we hoped to go to was temporarily shut. This was almost a last resort as it was not too far from our hotel. It was crowded & noisy but we found a table. We had to collect menus from the bar, where the...

Visited for my daughters birthday meal. The food was nicely presented and hot. The staff were very friendly especially, I apologise for not knowing his name, but he was Irish. The premises were old but felt welcoming. I would definitely recommend and visit again

Not a great pub sadly. Long wait at the bar for ordering. Didn’t have everything on the menu. Long wait for a v mediocre sandwich!!

£12.75 for a pint of Guinness and one single rum and Diet Coke? I felt like I’d been teleported to some posh private members club in London

My first visit to this restaurant. Great welcome, friendly staff and lovely food. I had the green Thai curry and it was delicious . Great evening with friends.

We had a lovely roast, one of the best we had. There was so much meat and it was beautifully cooked. The service was good too considering how busy it was. Would definitely recommend it.

Enjoyed a great Saturday lunch in here with friends whilst in Salisbury, largeish table of 8 and we were looked after very well by great staff. Loved the way the windows opened right up and whilst inside we still got the buzz and ambience from...

Amazing all round… Best Sunday roast we have ever had and we’ve had many . The roast pork was cooked to perfection with all the trimmings including a huge Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese and homemade apple sauce and crispy crackling. The puddings were just as...

A fantastic experience from start to finish. Walking in on Sunday (Bank Holiday) weekend looking for a table for 6 people at 1pm would seemingly be an impossible task in the bustling town of Salisbury but all was not lost when I popped in to...

We had a really good Sunday roast experience at the Ox Row Inn. The portions were very generous, and everything was cooked well - gravy and red cabbage were particularly delicious. We also had a crumble which was delicious. Pub has a nice traditional ambience,...

Sadly last day of bank holiday. No sides available. Kids food didn’t come as requested. Staff great Manager really helped but I wouldn’t re visit. Certainly not for food Beer was good

Had a super lamb lunch today perfectly cooked - followed with a delicious apple and blackberry crumble - great service !

This is a great location for Sunday lunch. They have a great bar and terrific staff. This is a really old world atmosphere. There is a large upstairs restaurant for groups.

This place is great for a casual night out, can in and was shown quickly to a table. Had excellent drinks, lovley food and outstanding service by josh

Best Sunday lunch since we arrived in Salisbury 10 months ago. Delicious food and plenty of choice. We were a party of 4. We all had a roast beef, pork and nut roast. All delicious and lots of vegetables. Delicious pear crumble and custard to...

I had a pork chop lunch served with homemade chips mushroom, tomato with watercress,it was lovely. Would highly recommend,service was excellent,food came out very quickly Chop was cooked to perfection,I would prefer it with a sauce but could not fault it Really Nice

Food is nice but unnecessarily pretentious. Pricing is very high and not what you expect from a pub. I feel that even using local produce, it could still come down in price. Their own brand ale tastes watery and tasteless compared to the canned counterpart....

Enjoyed a sisters weekend in Salisbury had Saturday lunch which was so lovely and amazingly friendly service THABK YOU Josh. Simply had to come back for Sunday roast which excelled my expectations had the roast lamb the best we’ve ever had. This will be our...

Picturesque and clean. Waiter was accommodating and friendly. Had good advice and recommendations. Food was very good and reasonably priced.

Second visit in six months. Although busy downstairs (a Sunday Lunch), the upstairs was empty. Without checking, whether anyone was about to leave etc, as you would expect, they just turn you away. Same again today. They come across as unwelcoming, even is they don’t...

We booked a lunch time meal and our table was ready on arrival. The restaurant/pub area soon became busy and the wait for our food was slow. However, when it did arrive the food was well cooked, hot and tasty. Overall a good city centre...

Went bin by chance and although the inn was busy a very helpful young lady found a table for the four of us but explained the table had been reserved for 1330 so suggested light snacks. The food and service was excellent. Would recommend

A lovely clean pub with really nice friendly staff. The food wasnt all available today, awaiting deliveries but it was nice tasting although the presentation of the burger and chips could have been a bit more exciting. Dog friendly, which is always a bonus.

Had a lovely drink this evening at the ox row. Staff friendly, especially meg the waitress. She was smiley kind, sweet and so polite. Thank you xx

Friday night dinner and drinks with a friend and we had a great night, good atmosphere bar staff very chatty and smiley. We were sat in the snug ordered our food which came in good time and was delicious we would highly recommend the burger...

We went for Sunday lunch here, one reason was they said they did cauliflower cheese, which I love. The staff were very friendly and helpful and gave us a table with our two dogs. Before we came in for the table, I asked if they...

I was disgusted with the staff and the the way i was treat by the the staff absolutely no respect and rude and anti social to their customers I will never ever go into this establishment again either on my own with friends or with...

I had the steak, cooked to my liking and was extremely yummy… To finish off I had the toffee pudding, again, very yummy! Service was excellent as well, will definitely be back in the near future!

Good - we easily took in and stored a folding wheel chairbeside our table. Bad - people at next table were a bit high and exceptionally loud. Good - service. Fair - faggots were too salty but veg good. Very good - 2 dishes of...

This restaurant served delicious British food - including an excellent Sunday roast. It’s cozy, warm and had a great list of local drinks. I will happily go back!

Good food and drinks at reasonable prices. Good location. We will return again when in the area. We had the sandwiches, a cider and a great Downton bitter.

And amazing pub, good food, great ale, fab atmosphere, and staff are wonderful. A big shout out to Jade, who was very helpful.

We went there for a meal and couple of drinks. The place is nice and cosy, the menu is good, not too long and bar have a nice range of local ales on offer. We ordered steak, medium cooked and it arrived medium cooked. I...

Lovely Pub in Market Square in Salisbury. Lots of tourists, especially from Germany. One man serving at bar and having to go off and change beer barrels etc so a big queue built up while three other staff members at lower end of bar spent...

We came here as a large group. We had to ask for more than one drinks menu and a wine menu. 20 minutes of being sat with the staff doing nothing , we had to ask for food menus. When we did order the food...

Ordered and paid (for a moment thought I’d been charged for 2 not 1 at the price). Realised it was just for one. I thought this must be very special for £15 for a burger and chips. When arrived it looked very small. The chips...

On a warm evening This is a great place to sit outside and have a drink and watch the world go by in the square. It’s a large double fronted place with well kept beer and decent food. Early evening it’s very busy outside but...

Located on the market square, this pub has everything from a good atmosphere and well maintained appeal to a reasonable wine list (for a pub) and tasty restaurant-like bar snacks. Been here for everything from hosted wine evenings in the restaurant upstairs, private parties, to...

Had a couple of very nice dinners here overlooking Market Square. Imaginative menu, good, well kept beer and friendly, helpful staff.

Settled on the Ox Row for an outdoor lunch in the warm sunshine. Table wasn't very clean and no attempt to clean it was made when my companion and I sat down. Staff were largely bored-looking and inattentive (excepting one youngish bloke who seemed more...

Apart from the cost of a pint which was nosebleedingly extortionate it is hard to think of much else about our evening here that wasn't excellent. Pub has a welcoming feel, it's bright and airy and the staff were super friendly. Beer was decent and...

Bar staff too busy talking to each other to clear tables so many potential customers just moved on to next door pub despite ( being a Monday night) the pub being quite quiet.

Came in for a few drinks and was served at the bar by a lovely girl called Rebecca! Really chatty and made the night better!
