The Prince Leopold in Wiltshire

Popped in, hadn’t book but the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Sat in the sun, in the beautiful riverside garden and had amazing Sunday roast. Great service, great food, will be back!

After several visits for Sunday lunch the standard of service and food is still five star. The staff are excellent, efficient, polite and hard working. The food is amazing.. I can cook a good roast but why bother when I can get a superb roast with all the trimmings here and no washing up.

I've been to the Prince Leopold a few times before as part of a larger walking group. Always enjoyed it. Took a couple of friends today and the four of us were really impressed with the quality of the food, the service and the value for money. I can't think of a pub I'd rather go to for a meal. A pity it's half an hours drive from Salisbury or I'd be a regular.

This review covers three excellent visits in Sep. On all three occasions the food has been excellent, choices have include burgers, fish and chips (truly excellent) and Sunday roasts. In all cases, good portion size, great quality and well cooked. Staff are great, helpful and bubbly, thank you.

A lovely evening as always,plenty of choice on the menu,food excellent,attentive staff,relaxed atmosphere, we’ve yet to try a Sunday roast,something to look forward to………Many Thanks. five *.

We arrived for a birthday meal and felt like we were an inconvenience straight away. Before even being able to pull out our chairs we were asked "what do you want to drink" when we asked for a drinks list and wine menu we were just told a few of the options. No children's menu available so we were offered a burger that could be cut in half for them to share We felt very pressured and rushed into deciding what to have rather than being able to take our time and enjoy the evening. My meal itself was nice however my partners was covered in a coriander sauce which was not in the description so was very overpowering, no check back to see if our food was ok or if we would like further drinks. A real shame as we have always enjoyed it here but this time we were made to feel very unwelcome and very rushed, ruined the evening.

The Service was 1st Class we were looked after by a waitress called Ellie who was excellent could not do enough for us a very good Waitress The food was so good and plenty of it

This pub always had a good reputation but not any more the food has been dumbed down the service was practically none existent. I asked for alternative milk for my coffee and was told there wasn't any call for it ? Really? I wonder what dinosaur is running the kitchen, it used to be a favourite but not any more. False economy no coffee sold because they couldn't spend £1.75 on alternative milk, I ask you so short sighted.

We had a fabulous Sunday lunch today with amazing food. Everything was delicious. It was busy but the serving staff were attentive and unhurried with us. The restaurant was attractive and comfortable. Just perfect.

We went out for a family meal and had a fabulous evening. There was no children’s menu but the staff were very accommodating and adapted food to suit two younger children. Waiting staff very polite and helpful, thank you (sorry I didn’t get your names). Everyone enjoyed their meals. Will definitely return.

A favourite place to visit. Parking can be tricky when it's busy as it's located in a small hamlet. Beautiful location particularly in the spring and summer months. A note to the owners: your website appears not to have been updated since 2020 with Covid notices everywhere and that you serve meals on wheels! Otherwise - always good!

Booked here for lunch on our way back from Dorset to Kent and it was fabulous. The restaurant was so busy and had a real buzz which was lovely. Our service was swift and food delicious, served by very pleasant staff. Couldn’t fault it!

Very busy, we had great service from a hard working team. Well done. Great grub, great place great beer.

What a lovely pub in such a quiet backwater. Professionally run and great cuisine. All 4 of us were pleased with our food especially my delicious venison burger. And to crown the experience, all washed down with one of the best bitters in the land: butcombe all the way from the mendips. So what could go wrong? Sadly and out of control of the management: the loudest mouth I’ve heard since the mp Geoffrey Cox who was sitting at a neighbouring table though he could be heard from most parts of the pub- clearly an entitled local. I know more about this man’s financial affairs than how my sister and brother in law were doing since we saw them last. Other diners came out of the room looking shell-shocked as we were and later sought refuge near the bar. If you hear this man when you visit, flee to a quieter corner if you can find one -quickly. He will ruin your dinner.. just to let the nice people in the pub know, he was there with a (quieter) friend on Tuesday 31st October between 1-3pm. He will (probably does) drive customers away

One of the best restaurants we’ve been to in years! Came here for lunch today. Friendly staff managed to put us on a lovely table by the river in the sunshine. Food was served super fast and was hot and delicious! Definitely recommend the roast dinner and the sticky date pudding. We absolutely loved everything…the setting, the food, the friendly staff, the weather. Would love to book a table every Sunday for the rest of my life!! Thank you for having us.

Excellent friendly service. Great food, a little expensive but you get what you pay for. Local brewery with good beer. Really enjoyed our visit. Dog friendly too.

Found this pub on Tripadvisor when looking for somewhere after Longleat balloons. Don’t be put off by the website which is a bit clunky and out of date. We’d rung ahead to book, and received a warm welcome, and they had a good selection of draft beers and ciders. Outside was busy, there were plenty of tables inside, although we found one on the terrace. We were advised there might be a wait for food, so we ordered the bread and olives board to keep us going. This was nice, good chunky bread with tasty pesto and chilli jam. I had chicken and chips main, which was generous with lots of parmigiana and fresh veggies. My wife had pulled pork in a bun with chips and slaw, which was lovely, but she struggled to finish. It had a nice friendly atmosphere, lots of dogs (including ours) and staff were all very pleasant, albeit busy. Riverside setting is gorgeous on a summer evening, but I’d imagine it’s warm and cosy inside in the winter too. Seemed very popular with locals, but we were made to feel welcome. Recommended.

We all ordered something different and we all had a totally delicious meal, freshly and perfectly cooked. A huge step up from usual pub food. The staff were great and equally friendly to us and our 3 dogs. The location is gorgeous. We will be back soon!

Great food, good selection of seafood if that's your thing. I can certainly vouch for the 🦀 and 🥑 and for the swordfish steak with crevettes. And for a separate visit I had the house mussels with cider and bacon also really good. Friends have also had the steak and Rambos 🐟 and 🍟 with also went down well. Great friendly and informative staff and picturesque surroundings, if you are eating in, get their early and have a drink 🍻 out by the river

The service fringe moment we walked in was amazing. We are from out of town and felt like we was at home. Evie was an angel and her service was paramount. The girls on the bar were so welcoming and I am actually going to bring my mother from Birmingham here just to eat the food was that superb. Thank you all.

Good food and all very friendly the area is lovely and yu sit outside by the river, also dogs are welcome.

My wife and I, with my family, dined at 'The Prince Leopold' to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary. Despite my son booking over a month before on arrival, and with him confirming with The Prince Leopold' a week earlier, the staff had no record of our booking and after an awkward exchange they found us a table. Whilst the meal itself was okay a rather large dog, presumably the owners, wandered around our table while we were eating. The dog then proceeded to be sick both by and under our table. The staff, when notified, did clean up the mess with paper towels but offered no apology or explanation. I wonder whether this would be a public heath matter given that a dog was being ill around the table while food is served to customers. There was also no offer of any refund on our bill or as previously mentioned any apology. This rather detracted from what should have been a joyous and fun evening. The staff otherwise were were efficient and courteous and the food was of a acceptable standard. Given our experience on this occasion I cannot recommend The Prince Leopold and therefore, regrettably, can only give it a 1* rating.

Sunday lunch my friends meat was under done my potatoes were soggy. Cold plates friendly staff who sorted out problems

Third visit this year, again greeted with a smile, nothing was too much trouble. Rare beef salad was so popular that it was all gone but was offered a great sirloin steak salad instead, cooked to perfection. Sat by the river, everything was perfect. It’s one of my favourite places and a 4th visit will definitely be happening. Thank you for looking after us so well.

I booked the Prince Leopold as it was a good location for family coming from Oxford and Devon (and me being in Wiltshire). I know the pub sits on the river and had good reviews, and we booked the Chicken Shed (outdoor private hut) as the elder members of my family find it hard to hear in a loud environment. We had a fantastic meal (took quite a long time to come out, but I prefer that than coming out really quickly, plus it was very busy). The waitress was really lovely and helpful, and had time to chat to us - she was very friendly. The hut is perfect for a quiet get together - it's a bit dark in there and could maybe do with a few brighter lights - however, that would spoil the ambience as it has fairly lights in there and is very pretty. It was perfect for us APART FROM the taxidermy art on the walls! With a vegetarian and lots of animal lovers in the group, it did upset one member of the family who found it quite distressing to look at a dead deer's head while eating. I think it may be good to let people know there is taxidermy in there. I personally feel it's an unnecessary thing to do and it would be a much more appealing space without it but I'm sure there are plenty of people who love taxidermy. Anyway, food was amazing, setting lovely, staff great, and we will be back - but maybe in the main restaurant - unless the animal heads disappear from the walls!

Great afternoon/evening, Saturday 13th May. Charity event for local dogs home with great music. Lots of local dog owners and their dogs turned up to support event. Also charity raffle to buy gallon of petrol for the landlords lawnmower. Will definitely visit again.😊

We visited for what we hoped would be a quiet spring evening drink by the river. Lovely pub, attractive garden with a lovely view. However, it was a combination of a rock concert - AC/DC for example - at full volume and a meeting of...

First impressions were really good. A friendly welcome and some black labs wandering around. A great sounding menu with plenty of choice made choices very tricky. Crab was served as a sort of town/rillette and it was excellent. The mussels were good but a few...

Heard a lot about this pub so was looking forward to Sunday lunch with friends. Muscle starter was lovely massive portion. The roast beef was plentiful the veg was OK the toast potatoes were bland and very pale not crispy. The date pudding was nice...

Simply consistently the best Sunday lunch available. Always high quality food with excellent service and a great pub feel.

We hadn’t booked but the staff offered a drink while a table of guests left and we then sat at a comfortable table in the beautifully appointed room. Food choice was extensive with 4 specials. Superb food…we had the classic and duck burgers.

Great Food, Excellent Beers, Great Atmosphere, Friendly and welcoming team. Six hungry, muddy walkers found our way to the Prince Leopold having been exploring the local Iron Age Forts of Battlesbury & Scratchbury and we couldn't have found a better hostelry! Thanks and we'll be...

7 of us had lunch here - all of us a certain age but all used to and enjoy fine dining. The food was excellent but it took just over an hour to be served and although there were other tables they were not that...

Organized a reunion of friends from our university days some 34 years ago and had an amazing evening in the chicken shed. Fantastic food, great environment and friendly attentive staff. A fabulous place to meet friends and have a great evening. Highly recommended.

Parked in the overflow car park. Decided to have two lattes as service had finished and although we were a little hungry no alternative was offered. The latte was actually leaking through the crack in the cup that I had. Then some guy was amused...

Excellent service - quick and effeicient staff. Waiting times for food were more than acceptable. I opted for Roast Beef - my goodness. I could have died happily thereafter the meal - well, right after that delicious Eton Mess. The key to a tasty roast...

We are so pleased to have found this pub! Met friends here for lunch today. The menu is way above standard pub fayre and the food is stylish and served with panache. The bar staff were a delight. The setting by the river is idyllic....

This was our second visit and we were not disappointed. It has very attractive dining areas and an outside space. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We had the mussels starter which was delicious, followed by the specials of a steak sandwich and fries...

It might not have the old rustic charm of some of its neighbouring pubs but it has a fantastic beer garden and the food was delicious!

Although the Sunday roast main courses were mostly excellent (3 out of 4, the risotto was mediocre) and the cauliflower cheese was excellent, the desserts were rather poor, with 2 out of 4 remaining uneaten. There was lipstick on one wineglass, dried food on a...

I live approximately 45mins away from The Prince Leopold but try and go out of our way to go here if we are in the vicinity. I have been several times over the years and the food is always top drawer, service is excellent and...

Visited while staying in the area for a few days and now trying to work out when we can come back. Excellent menu, carefully prepared and executed, can't fault anything, just wish I'd had space to try one of the desserts. Wonderful service as well,...

We visited this pub for lunch today and were not disappointed. The food was absolutely amazing, best vegetables to accompany a roast meal we have ever had. The waiting staff were helpful and friendly and they even helped push us out the car park when...

We found this pub/restaurant when looking for somewhere for a pre-Christmas family meet up. Only one option unavailable on the menu and plenty of choice otherwise. The pheasant goujons in particular were excellent, as was the beef and ale pie. Beautiful location and polite, understated...

Delicious Sunday lunch again! Seven of us for lunch last Sunday, variation of food presented but one thing totally consistent… it was delicious! Can’t fault the service and the food. We will be back! Thank you

We celebrated our Gold Wedding Anniversary at the Prince Leopold with a family party for twelve. We discussed the menu with the chef about a week in advance and he showed great flexibility in meeting our needs (a couple of quite young children and two...

We went for lunch , 3 families on the last day of our holiday in Wiltshire. The food was delicious and we had drinks in the garden , which is beautiful on the banks of a chalk river. We had a baby with us and...

Visited here on a Friday evening. Was quiet when we arrived, but soon got busier. Drinks were taken when we sat down & arrived quickly. When they arrived, they didn’t ask if we were ready to order. We waited a further 20 minutes after this...

Lovely pub! Genuine victorian building which has been extended. Left of the front door , big communal table populated ( and rightly so) by locals having a beer. Butcombe on draught and Rare Breeds. Room to right of door ……sporting mans snug….loved it. Large restaurant....

Lunch with friends who invited us as this pub is equidistant between our two homes. Not initially enamoured as it was a Sunday Lunch menu which was basically 3 roasts, salmon or vegetarian option. I’m not a roast fan and while I love fish salmon...

This used to be one of my favourite local places to eat, but sadly no more. What has happened since lockdown? Still the same lovely location, but this is no longer skilled chef cooked food. Now it's below par bog standard pre cooked pub grub...

The food was sublime and the service was excellent. I would heartily recommend the Grilled Peach and Feta starter, and the Pulled Duck Burger was heavenly. My dining companions were equally chuffed with the Mussels (both the Thai Green Curry & the more usual White...

Staying nearby for our holiday, we loved the Prince Leopald so much we visited three times and each time was fabulous. Eating outside by the banks of the river, friendly staff and delicious food. Perfect!

Delightful pub serving honest food. We were recommended to visit this place and wow weren't we in for a treat. We had a duck salad , king prawns, to start followed by slow roast lamb, swordfish, haddock and chips and chicken korma. The 4of us...

We found the Prince Leopald by chance and decided to give it a try. This was a good idea as the pub is excellent with a good and decent-priced menu. We will visit again as we do pass from time to time.

Attended The Prince Leopold for Father’s Day meal. The menu was varied and catered for everyone. Each member of our party had a different type of roasted meat chicken, pork, lamb and beef. This was Served with crispy duck fat roast potatoes, gravy, a Serving...

Amazing food and super service, not rushed and everyone was really happy with their food. Good value as well Strongly recommend

First visit to this village pub by the river. Set price Sunday lunch menu offering two or three courses. Good choice of roasts and other dishes as well. Quality of the food was outstanding and the service was very good. Really good selection of vegetables...

Honestly one of the best pub lunches I’ve ever had. Huge portions and so tasty. Great setting and lovely staff. An absolute gem.

The Prince Leopold is always a top choice for us when we want to go for a Sunday Roast. It really is hard to beat. The usual lunch/dinner menus are fantastic too. Food high quality, and decent service. However, every single time I, or any...

A restored Victorian pub with a garden fronting the river and views across the water meadow. Airy indoor dining room simply furnished and pretty. The food was mixed. The beef burger was dry, tough and overcooked; the pulled duck version not much better but the...

Went for Sunday lunch. Great setting by the river. Took ages for them to take our order which they then appeared to forget. From arrival to food arriving was over an hour and when the Sunday roasts arrived the spuds were stone cold with hot...

Rude staff, poor service. Just a disappointment. We all appreciate that coming out of lockdown means places are pushed and restrictions make offering a good service tricky. But that is no excuse for rudeness and a “We know best” attitude. For the first time in...

Right....after months of enforced isolation I finally got to eat out again and chose this riverside pub to renew convivial meetings with my ex boss! We had enjoyed a Xmas party several years ago ....but that was a dark evening and I had forgotten the...

The food was amazing! Couldnt fault it. Downsides - no wine list or cocktails, wait for ordering and receiving starter extremely long. Our order wasn't taken for 30 minutes after we arrived and the starters then took another 30 minutes so 1 hour wait overall....

Couldn’t fault the food at this Inn. We had the Sunday Roast, with starter and dessert, beautifully cooked and delicious, will definitely go again.

Take away Sunday lunch. Excellent. Good value for money. We`ve had both the pork and the beef and both meals have been very good. Generous portions, lots of meat, nice thick gravy with the beef and big, crispy Yorkshire pud, and large tasty desserts to...

Delicious, imaginative dishes, friendly and efficient staff. A bit too mat heavy and menu more suited to the boys!

Visited for dinner last night after the pub being recommended by friends. We had been away for a few days and this rounded off the trip not wanting to cook when we got home! It did not disappoint! The staff were so friendly as soon...

We have visited here a couple of times and would return again but be prepared to wait to get your food. We on average had to wait about an hour minimum to get our mains without having any starters. Saying that the food is definitely worth the wait! Presentation is great and food tastes amazing! Wouldn’t take my children as they wouldn’t do the wait but in good company will happily return.

Myself and 5 friends had an evening meal here. From start to finish we had an amazing night, they are following strict COVID guidelines which makes for a safe experience. The food and the wine was exceptional. The staff and owners are extremely friendly even when we were enjoying ourselves a little too much having not be able to see each other in our own homes for a while. The evening was just the tonic we needed. Thank you so much. Booked with my parents and in laws for our annual Christmas get together can’t wait to see what’s on offer then.

Lovely lunch on way to stay at Center Parcs Longleat. Excellent quality and lovely service. Will be back next time we book

My 7 year search for the best Sunday Roast is now over! Couldn’t fault our meal... stunning riverside location, fantastic menu, wonderful roast beef with a great selection of perfected vegetables, and HUGE! Quality AND quantity (kept both me and my husband happy). Top notch.

First impressions on booking were that the man taking the booking as a bit grumpy, which didn’t bode well. However, what a fantastic place this turned out to be! Excellent COVID precautions, very friendly and helpful waiting staff and the food was fantastic! We sat outside by the river and the outside seating was well spaced and filled up quickly on a gorgeous sunny day. We weren’t rushed at all and our visit was very pleasant, I’d definitely recommend booking, because despite it being a seemingly well kept secret, this pub is clearly very popular, and deservedly so. We’ll definitely be back.

Booked a table for 2, on arrival I ordered a large glass of Pinot Grigio for my companion only to be told that they didn’t serve that wine, my companion chose another wine from the wine list only to be told that they didn’t serve it by the glass, I remarked that it wasn’t satisfactory and what happened to the customer always being right which was answered with a shrug, Pinot Grigio is a popular wine so it’s inexcusable not to serve it by the glass, it cast a shadow over the visit and we shan’t be returning again, everything appeared to be too much trouble, not impressed

Despite turning up an hour early for our table, due to our planned walk going somewhat awry, the pub could not have been more helpful. The Prince Leopold enjoys a delightful position overlooking the river and has plenty of outdoor seating and room for children to stretch their legs. The lunchtime menu was comprehensive with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients. A highly enjoyable meal.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch, the food was excellent. Their menu all looked wonderful, it was difficult to choose what to have. The staff were well briefed, very helpful and very polite. The owners have worked hard to design a safe environment to comply with the covid guidelines. There was hand sanitiser available at the door, they have a one way system that worked very well. Great food, great location, excellent staff. Definitely will be revisiting.

We found The Prince Leopold pub on Tripadvisor and after calling ahead to book a table we turned up after a lovely walk in Sherrington Wood. The pub is situated at the end of a lane and sits right alongside the Wylye river. Truly a beautiful and tranquil spot. The staff were super friendly and we had delicious halloumi burgers and a pork burger. Other visitors had Sunday roast ! After lunch, we let the dog have a paddle in the river. Very memorable and we will definitey be back. Thanks for a lovely afternoon.

I booked a table for my pregnant wife, 2 young children and I on a Friday night so we could try the fish and chips which had been recommended by friends.As soon as I walked in I could see the systems and safety precautions they had put in place in relation to COVID and immediately felt at ease.We were approached by a lady that was smiling and personable who took us to our table while making small talk with my wife and children which was nice.We were sitting outside in their beautiful picturesque garden by the river in the sunshine. It was a really relaxed atmosphere.We ordered some drinks which arrived quickly and we ordered our fish and chips with the waitress.The food arrived in well presented boxes which was a really nice touch.The food was DELICIOUS, the batter was light and crispy and the cod tasted fresh. The chips were really tasty (I managed to eat mine and then finish of my 4 year olds )Overall we would 100% recommend as the service was friendly, the environment was the best around this area and the food was 10/10. So much so we have booked in for a Sunday roast.

Superb Food, very reasonable portions!! The deserts where delicious. Staff and service were spot on and the Scenery is beautiful well recommended!!

Currently in lockdown so ordered a roast beef dinner and dessert for Easter Sunday 2020 for pick up.Oh wow, what a fabulous meal, all packed beautifully, cooked beautifully and it tasted amazing.Thank you to the chefs at The Prince Leopold for making a very challenging situation a whole lot better! Will definitely visit the pub when this is all over.

When you find a great place to eat I feel I want to keep it to myself. But this place is a Gem for a great meal and lovely atmosphere. I have been a few times now and the welcome has always been good, the menu select extensive and varied and the food fresh and delicious.

We visited last year for my birthday and had a stunning meal. Went again this year for my brother's birthday and it was delicious. As a family, we have been lucky enough to eat in some very good restaurants and this is up there. I particularly like that the menu is seasonal and changes. This time the mushroom starters were amazing, as were the mussels and the camembert. For mains, two of us had steak, it is one of the best I have eaten (only critique, too much batter to onion ratio for the rings). The burger is lovely as was the sea bass. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

We chanced upon this delightful Inn on our way to bath . So glad we did . Amazing meal , very busy but still attentive staff. Must try to visit during the summer as it sits along side a beautiful river with outside seating .

Visited twice, good food and helpful staff each time. Elderly relative found it a bit noisy unfortunately, but bigger room at the back was OK at lunchtime with not too many people there. Good quality pub food.

Normally a great local produce menu: on New Year' eve the food was still good, varied and a very novel approach. The remainder was awful: the 'DJ' was more laid back than the situation warranted and was high jacked midway through the evening and his equipment taken to the bar. Needless to say this is not a festivity that we will repeat. Hopefully our normal lunch visits will not be affected!

Met my friend here and we were welcomed extremely warmly. We looked around and couldn't believe how wonderful it was. The food was excellent. Staff so friendly and very efficient. We will be going back

The A36 is littered with grim pubs serving greasy food to passers by. The Prince Leopold is ony a few minutes drive off the main road but what a difference. A warm welcome ,attractive riverside venue with a garden and a sensible balance between regulars and visitors.The menu is exensive for a country pub but the chef obviously knows what he is doing. A good range of beers and a well balanced wine list.You turn off the A36 at the traffic lights and go down through the village.Top Tip: If calling at a busy time well worth booking

We booked for a Saturday lunch time pm to celebrate a birthday. Allocated table by window which was lovely. However, the Dining Room was very cold for quite a while as if the heating is only turned on when lunch service starts. When other tables started to fill up the place warmed up but took quite a while.

I booked a table at The Prince Leopold because it was half way between where, as 2 couples, we lived. When I booked I asked about Gluten Free options as I have Coeliac Disease and was told they would see what they could do when we arrived. Not the best comment ever, but we decided to go with it, as the pub had come recommended.We arrived a little early but went in. The gentleman who arrived in behind us was welcomed, I presume as a regular, but we we left standing there. Eventually the lady behind the bar asked is she could help us, then continued to leave us standing, saying she would be a minute, whilst she started to service other people sitting around the bar. It didn't feel friendly and we didn't get anything that could have been construed to a welcome. Eventually, we were pointed to a table, where we sat and waited to be served. Our dink order was taken and I asked about the Gluten Free options to be told to choose something and they would see what they could do. No indication of what was good and what was not. So not sure where to go with it I decided on ham, egg and chips, at a pricey £11, as nothing could really go wrong with this. The others in the group order pie, sausages and an open Club Sandwich. The pie apparently was good, but no gravy arrived, The open sandwich was not so good, at an expensive price of £12, and the sausages we OK but again a tad pricey. I have to add here that the presentation of my food was not good. The ham was in a pile, the chips looked as if they had been thrown on and the two eggs were on top of the cold ham... The issue we had was the wait. It took an hour and 5 minutes for our food to arrive. The people, on the table by the side of us, arrived 1/2 hour after us, were eating and on coffee by the time our table got our food. Again they appeared to be regulars. We then waited at least 1/2 hour for the table to be cleared. We were given the menu's for a pudding but again very little GF choice so we decided to leave. Although we did fancy a coffee but with 5 minutes until closing it obviously wasn't an option. We had been in the pub for 2 hours at that point. We had been recommended this pub but sadly I won't be. It is probably up there with one of the most unwelcoming places I have been. Gluten Free is not difficult to do if you engage with it but this pub have chosen not to. Thumbs down for Gluten Free options.

Having eaten here many times and celebrated new years eve 2018 we decided to book for New Year's Eve 2019. The evening was marketed as A Night at the Oscars with black tie for gents and included a 5 course meal for £35 pp. I asked if the evening would be similar to the previous new years eve i.e. live music and dancing after a superb meal. Definitely something simular said Emily the land lady. Well what a disastrous evening it turned out to be. Whilst the food was ok every course felt very rushed and the cheese course was removed from our table well before we had finished. The entertainment turned out to be a teenager with a pre recorded selection of music and on playing this cleared the restaurant within 2 hours. Locals congregated in the main bar area thus leaving just 5 of us plus the inappropriately named 'dj' in the restaurant. No count down for new years eve and no attempt made by mine host's to include us in any celebrations taking place by locals around the bar (this was locals attempting to sing along to the teenagers hijacked pre recorded music.) Needless to say we won't ever spend another new years eve at this venue and feel the marketing was completely misleading of what the evening was going to be.....so enjoy the food at this venue but expect to be ostracised by the locals.

We eat here and drink here a lot. Every visit the food is exceptional, every visit the staff are exceptional. We attended the New Years Eve walk the red carpet evening, 5 course set menu, every course was cooked and prepared to perfection. A big thank you to Rambo, Emily and all your team for all your hospitality and we wish you continued success in 2020.

We went there on our wedding anniversary last week, have been before but not for some time, so knew it was good.

It is certainly worth finding your way to this lovely spot in summer or winter. The conservatory restaurant looks out onto the riverside garden. Friendly, helpful staff serve good ale in the bar where you can read the fascinating local history. The boars heads and other animals and game in the decor may not be to everybody's taste but vegetarians are catered for on the menu! The menu is interesting and varied and our largish party for a reunion were all happy with our choices last Wednesday lunchtime. Sadly the affogato was off the menu as there was no vanilla icecream. One of our party was unable to make it at the last minute. Had she been there it would have been a bit of a squash at the table. But these are minor quibbles about an otherwise jolly good lunch.

Highly recommend. We visited for my husbands birthday with friends. Great choice on menu, fantastic service and atmosphere. The food was amazing. Personally I found dessert rather large in portion size for me.

Six family members, aged from 6 to 77, had a light meal at the start of a week away: the varied food, from ham hock terrine and soup to mussels and devilled kidneys was enjoyed so much we returned for an evening meal. Our main courses then were also extremely good and generous, including pork ribs, duck and swordfish. The pub has a lovely welcoming interior and the staff are pleasant and efficient.

Been here twice now. Once was excellent and the other was average... First time there the bar staff weren't interested and the food wasn't up to much. However it was much better yesterday and I had a cracking bowl of duck. I would say that this is a place to go to early in the evening when you get better attention from both the kitchen and the staff.

We went to this pub today and loved it. The food, the atmosphere and the service were perfect. It’s a fair trek for us but well worth it and we we’ll definitely be returning.

Dined here midday. The menu had a good choice of food and we were very satisfied with the service, quality of the food and - as a real ale drinker - the excellence of choice. It was a warm sunny day and we opted for an outdoor table. Would definitely put on our list when next in the area as somewhere we would be pleased to visit again.
