The Quarrymans Arms in Wiltshire

Would give 5 for food, welcome, location, dog friendly. The pub had an oven problem - they even phoned to warn me that some food items would be impossible to cook, but some would still be available. Impressive. My only criticism is that I paid the bill - but did not realise until I got home that 10% service is automatically included. I thought that sharp practice had largely stopped a while ago - but I note that other visitors have made the same comment. It's a shame, because the pub, food and staff are great - and I will certainly return. But the auto addition of 10% should be stopped. Is it a Butcombe Group corporate requirement? Regards Jon

We stayed here on Sunday evening for one night with a wonderful vegan breakfast included. The staff were so attentive and friendly. The room was beautiful with beautiful views. The view at breakfast is stunning too, massive picture window and you can sit at a table looking out. I imagine it is lovely in the summer as they have a lovely beer garden overlooking that view. Look forward to staying with you again some time.

Great 2 day stay at The Quarryman's Arms. Lovely rooms, great food and fantastic staff, plus outstanding views. I would highly recommend this place.

Had heard good things and wasn’t disappointed. Warm welcome and swift service, we both had roast beef which was served quickly and nice and hot. Even though Jasmine and Keira had been very busy and short staffed the service was exemplary. Jasmine was extremely kind to our dog, making a fuss of her and giving her a roast potato! Would highly recommend a visit, beautiful views and a great pub garden.

Great views, good food ( pies really good). Good menu and a board showing where their supplies come from. Good selection of beer etc. A Butcombe Pub - part of the Liberation Group ( Guernsey). Staff friendly and helpful - probably the only criticism was we weren't offered coffee afterwards. The Service charge evident from the itemised bill- we were aware of that before the meal and from previous experiences. If busy, car parking could be at a premium.

One of the best taverns I have ever been in whilst visiting England. Proper ales, amazing traditional food, excellent service

We had Sunday roast ,which my companions ate with relish ! Good service with Jasmine , lovely person ! Very friendly ! First time on a Sunday for me in ages ! Very busy ! Car park pretty full !

Would like to thank the staff at The Quarrymans. Lovely pub with fantastic views. Visited yesterday to celebrate my Mum’s birthday. Party of 14 and no complaints at all. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was great! Very tasty roasts. We will be returning when next in the area and would highly recommend! Thank you again for accommodating. We had a great time.😀

Found this little gem of a pub by surprise out walking the local area. Very friendly with great views and food. Will Definately be coming back for another visit 😀

Six of us went to one of our favourites pubs outside of Bath for a late Sunday lunch. The car park and bar were packed. There was a nice atmosphere in the bar/restaurant area. With the friendly staff working hard to deliver food and drinks to the customers. Our Sunday Roasts were well cooked, looked great and smelt amazing. I had the vegan wellington which was very nice. The majority of the table had the roast pork with crackling. The six empty plates were testament to the quality of the food. Real British Pub atmosphere in a great location with stunning views. Definitely one to visit.

My wife and I dropped in after being passed a Golden ticket discount voucher ! I’ve used this pub several times in the past and the service is always prompt & efficient. This occasion was no different. Unfortunately both of our meals were a disappointment. I opted for the Haddock with thick cut chips. It was literally battered senseless & very dry as were the chips. The mushy peas were scant and also completely dried out. My wife had the steak and said it was very chewy. Our voucher yielded a 20 % discount which I was glad of as the meal was as bad as I can remember from this pub. The two gents serving gave good service so no complaints there. But the food I’m afraid was a big let down.

Arrived at this lovely pub after a day at Wincaton races at 5pm for just one night. Roads are pretty narrow but SatNav got us there. Parking was tricky as car park was full on arrival but managed to park on the road. Staff was great. Complimentary Prosecco was a lovely touch. Room was great as was check in and staff. Booked in for an evening meal. Lovely table in the snug. Food, wine and beer all delicious 😋 Bed was comfy though the walls are quite thin but sleep well nonetheless. The only negative was the breakfast. There was no cereal, yogurt or juice. And they had run out of eggs and hash browns. So limited choice. What we did have was very nice but I did miss the eggs.

A very friendly pub with an amazing view We had a really good meal freshly prepared and tasty! Staff were efficient and an excellent Pinot blush was on the wine list. Couldn’t find any faults

Estuvimos cenando y durmiendo en este pub hostal y fue todo un acierto. La cena aceptable para los estándares ingleses. La habitación estupenda, amplia, limpia y confortable y con unas magníficas vistas de la campiña inglesa.

Hello , This is our favourite drinking hole , Just around the corner for us ! We have been going there for too long to remember ! Mind you the staff can be a bit moody ,but they always deliver especially for me at the table ! Wednesday is their 25% off meal deals ! Can get very noisy at times ! Could do with sound buffers on the ceiling like The Albert Hall , perhaps not so big ! Going there soon ! WAH HEY ! Great meeting place for The Usual Suspects

Bumped off our table in favour larger group We were party 5 celebrating a special birthday & booked days before Less than 24hrs notice restaurant phoned to say we'd lost our table as they had larger party coming in & we'd have to eat at the bar Not the place to celebrate special dinner with elderly group & those with disabilities Unacceptable

This is our favourite local pub/restaurant. It always has a great atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff and amazing food. Last night we rang at last minute and managed to get a table for three. We all had a lovely pint of Guinness, perfectly served. I had the plant burger, my son had ham, egg and chips and his partner the beef burger. All the food looked and smelt very appetising. All three dishes were well cooked and throughly enjoy. Really lovely typical English pub with a view to die for.

We had a huge (deluxe family) room downstairs with couch, desk & small shower, our daughter had an ave sized (deluxe double) room upstairs with a huge shower. Nicely furnished, nice bedding, mini bar but no Nespresso machine. Plenty of off-street parking, electric car charger, good gastropub (no other food choice in walking distance). I would have given 5* but unfortunately we left our down pillows we travel with in brightly coloured pillowcases behind and they quickly noticed this but didn’t bother to phone us to let us know resulting in a 100 mile journey to collect it the next day- unnecessarily poor service.

Disappointing. Front of house unwelcoming and unaware of deals on butcombe website. Queries were met with "the chef is very busy with a private event" in 2 occasions, one being the broccoli and mozzarella dish had no mozzarella! Have to say their chips are wonderful and location beautiful.

Pavel and team are working hard to keep an important local pub alive. Rooms are good. Staff very friendly and helpful. Beautiful location.

Nice pub in a great location with panoramic views across the county. It was very very warm inside and the staff were suffering with the heat as well as us as customers. This is a Butcombe pub and the menu seems common across other Butcombe premises. Our order for drinks and food was swiftly taken and they both soon arrived. The food was Ok, won't win any wards but it was good standard pub food. The value however was not great. Fish cakes were just that, a few sauteed spring onions, about a teaspoon and a bit of sauce and a poached egg for £16.50? I imagine any American visitors would be disappinrednwith the portion size! The gammon was Ok too, chips were ok, it was Ok! Won't be rushing back both of you're stuck and don't mind smallish portions for high-ish prices, it's ok...

On a good previous visit we booked to have an evening meal but was rather disappointed. The pub itself is sat in a lovely spot with gorgeous views but the interior felt somewhat grubby. The food was nice but when I changed my steak dish from having chips to having their very lacking and expensive side dish of broccoli it looked very poor. It also took some time for our food to arrive between starter and main. The staff did apologise for the wait and also offered something else to go with my steak but it would have only meant I’d have to wait longer and my steak would have been getting cold so I got on with what I was given. The price for a shared starter, steak with added side dish, pie, 3 beers, 1 gin & tonic and an elderflower with lemonade PLUS an already added service charge of over £8 came to over £90. I can safely say we won’t be returning.

How difficult can it be to smile and say hullo? The FOH team really let the place down and unwelcoming. The food on the other hand was absolutely splendid. Our choices were excellent, fish cakes and bavette on a salad. Shame the carpet looked terrible but the view took one away from the floor covering which must have come from a rather squalid squat.

such an amazing location with far reaching views. We sat on the terrace which felt very mediterannean and enjoyed a great lunch. The roast beef was generous and incredibly tasty, especially loved the medium rare meat. My husband enjoyed the pasta which wasn't too spicy and incredibly tasty and our daughter loved calamari!

There were 6 people in our party. The starters were awful. Two had calamari but hardly any and one had falafel but only 4 tiny falafel no salad or bread. The mains weren’t much better. Two of the meals were cold and had to be reheated and the potions were measly. No rice with a tasteless vegan curry either at £16.00. But the atmosphere was good as there was live music. It’s very much a drinking pub. I would concentrate on craft beers and give up the food. .Very disappointed. We won’t be going back

Awful service, not a friendly welcome, told lots of dishes weren't available, food terrible- to the point where I would have created a similar lunch out of desperation and lack of ingredients. Handed a highchair and he didn't even bother to assemble it for me. The calamari portion was shameful!! Lovely views and incredible location that's my only positive. Shame as this was a special lunch out with my daughters

Had Easter lunch, food was nice. Staff friendly, one staff member went out of his way to make my son a make shift milkshake as they didn't have on the menu. My son was thrilled! Overall nice lunch with family.

Great view, unfriendly staff and vile locals ( f word for being asked to let us through as they were blocking the door) Would not go back even though moved to the area

Lovely food and very helpful staff. Would certainly stay here again. Great roast dinner and breakfast.

Went for Mothers Day lunch and had a table in bar area - this wasn't a problem as it was a busy time, despite disappointment we couldn't look out over the view. The food was also very good - no problem there. What let it...

Really disappointing lunch here. We came for Mother's Day. Despite the fact we'd called and asked for a table with a view and there were tables available on the nice side throughout, they sat us in the bar area with football on and locals using...

We stayed at the quarrymans Arms and we wouldn't hesitate to go again. It was such a lovely location. So quiet and very very dog friendly. Our room was immaculate and the service was outstanding. We had breakfast included and thoroughly enjoyed every night

We came for lunch today. It was our second visit: the first was two years ago with friends who made the booking. We remembered the good ale and food and amazing view from the dining room window. Today we brought our uncle in his 80's....

We came here as we were staying at the Rudloe Arms down the road and needed to find some decent food and drink without extortionate prices! What a breath of fresh air going in to this pub. It was lively and busy, staff were friendly...

The soup starter was good. I didn’t see the butter pack that came with the bread, hidden behind the hot bowl. When I did find it, it had turned to liquid and went all over the place! The Buddha bowl was awful ( I called...

A fantastic pub that is worth going out of the way for. Vey friendly and attentive. Food is outstanding. Rooms avaliable (We were staying in the Methuen Arms, Corsham see my review for this pub)

We had Christmas dinner here and everything was done so well. Food was excellent( reasonably priced for the quality too) , atmosphere and a lovely touch was the chef came out to have a chat with the guests , he was very polite and this...

We went mid week for an evening meal. Staff were friendly and efficient and it was clear they got on well as a team. We had starters and a main meal. The fish main was delicious and as previously mentioned the burgers are fantastic. There...

Very nice gastro pub with live sport and good ales selection. Great staff, great food and amazing view over the valley!!!

This is given because of the cleanliness of my booked room. The room was ideal, tidy, well set out but with a quilt that was covered in dog hairs. I brought this to the attention of the staff and I was moved to a bigger...

Lovely olde worlde, but, modern pub. Really good food at a reasonable price. The chef came out and spoke to the diners which was a really nice and appreciated touch. You definitely need to book as it’s quite small and clearly very popular. The pub...

We found this place as part of our travels around the Butcombe pubs and both my wife and I were very pleased we chose it. We have already discussed our return. We stayed overnight so experienced all aspects of it and none of them disappointed....

Pre-Christmas Family get together. 23rd December. Very disappointed with the good. Three had fish and chips, two regular and one small. The batter was overcooked, hard, burnt and crispy. Fish was dry inside. The food looked list on the plate, about 12/15 chips on the...

What a treat!!!! Lovely country pub, friendly welcome, wonderful view and fantastic food!! Took my bestie for her 40th birthday lunch and was not disappointed Really recommend for a relaxing treat, burger was tremendously tasty

Had a beautiful Christmas Day Lunch, excellent service, staff very polite, and making sure we were enjoying the meal, seeing if we would like anything , like tea,coffee or drinks.All very smartly dressed, not like last year, which was a shambles, and not very pleasant,...

Beautiful location with an AMAZING view. Perfect lunch/dinner spot especially in Summer. The quality of food as of high standards, so delicious! Chip Rating 5 out of 5 Would definitely come back just for the view!

The Quarryman Arms is a traditional English pub in a great location with truly outstanding views. Fantastic customer service from all the staff. This gastro pub has an interesting menu. Mo the chef today is a talent. My vegan wellington roast was exceptional. My friend...

Poor service resulted in a disappointing lunch. Long delay before order was taken. We enjoyed our main course however after a lengthy wait for service staff to return we had to find someone to bring desert menus. We then sat for a further 15 minutes...

We stayed at the Quarryman's for a mid week break and were delighted with our lovely room, the thoughtful service and the excellent food. The staff were always helpful and interested and the views from the terrace were totally wonderful. We will be back...

The second time we’ve visited as a family and the second time they’ve taken our order and our money and then forgotten us. We were waiting over an hour and 15 mins (only one other couple in the pub when order placed) eventually got our...

Was going to take sister and wife but just read reviews and most recent ones are pretty poor. Used to be good I believe.

We visited The Quarryman’s Arms on a Monday evening as we were staying nearby. Upon arrival it was nice to see drinkers sitting outside and at the bar. After being welcomed by a friendly barman, we took our drinks outside to enjoy the view pre-dinner....

Had better offerings in a petrol station. Half the menu missing, no salads, no veg curry, no market fish and no specials. Enquired as to why and told new head chef is ‘settling in’ what’s he settling into, a coma? Only a small menu to...

Very good sunday roast, we had mix of pork and beef. Very good service. Recommended. Nice back garden

A Sunday visit a lunchtime on a stunning Summers Day. Glorious setting - magnificent views across the Box Valley to Colerne. But food so very disappointing. Had the roast beef - tough as old boots frankly and swamped in gravy . Service was just about...

The food was amazing! Definetely go back (only down side grumpy member of staff when ringing to book

Good points. The food spot on as always, lovely burger & a cracking fish chips. However good food & good beer cannot divert away from terrible service. We were served by a young man called Steve. We have been served by him before and always...

The food was good and the view stunning but the service APPALLING! Haven’t come across such rude and luck lustre waiting or bar staff for a very long time. How many people are going to leave similar reviews before management takes notice and does something...

We had some apprehension after looking at some reviews here on tripadvisor often including the word 'surly'. However our stay was close to perfect. All the staff we met were friendly and really helpful, couldn't fault them, especially in this hot weather. The food was...

Visited on June 16. Pizza night. Had simply the worst pizza in my 6o years - the dough was close to raw, the topping thin and greasy. On this night, this restaurant was a candidate for Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. And the beer line-up was uninspiring.

We popped in on way to our hotel for lunch and a drink, found the barman quite rude and not welcoming at all. We asked if serving food was met with abrupt NO as fridge was broken or something, I looked to see which beers...

Second visit for Sunday lunch. Having recently moved to Bradford on Avon we have been looking for decent pubs in the area for lunch & drinks. The quarryman’s is my no. 1 pub. Garden beautiful with panoramic views of the countryside, a real sun trap....

Great pub! Fantastic views! Beer and food both top notch! Definitely would recommend! Will come again!

A very disappointing visit recently, the beer was just not up to scratch, I pointed it out and was met with a rude and uninterested response. I'm local and visit fairly often and feel things are a miss here. Sort it out or you will...

This was such a disappointment for a pub which had come with high praise. I'd love to tell you about the food but the reception we received on arrival at the pub was so overwhelmingly rude the four of us decided to press on and...

Outstanding stay, staff really friendly and welcoming, food really good, despite there being an issue with some kitchen equipment.

Great room, comfy bed and complimentary drinks were very welcome. Friendly service and the best cooked breakfast from a hotel in a long time

We went as a family on a Saturday evening after the rush 8pm. Few dishes not available which was made clear when we arrived. Sadly we were not offered the daily specials which (on spotting when delivered to other tables) was disappointing. I asked when...

I travelled from London to Wiltshire to have dinner at this fabulous pub. 2.5 hours each way is well worth it. This pub did not disappoint! When we walked into the pub, we were greeted by absolutely fabulous Jackie. Her warmth made me and my...

This is a super English pub with the proper ambience created by good staff and the regulars. The food is delicious and the beer is even better. We stayed 2 nights and we liked the accommodation.

Great place, friendly staff. Steak cooked to perfection and the chef was happy to give me salad instead of chips. Lovely setting, views of the countryside from the bar are lovely

Another visit Good table in the window with views over to Colerne on a crisp blue sky day My wife had the Festive Pie, wow, what a plateful, she ate every bit ! I had my usual Bavette steak, very enjoyable & cooked to my...

We have just had a fab little stay at The Quarrymans Arms. The room was lovely, comfy bed, gorgeous view of the countryside and a perfect desk for writing and having a glass of wine. The staff were so accommodating. Very polite and friendly, especially...

We stayed for a short break with our dog. The pub is in a lovely spot, great views and walks as well as lots of local towns to visit for sightseeing and shopping. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. Didn't have a hairdryer but...

We had an exceptional stay here. Very friendly staff where nothing was to much trouble. Breakfast was amazing with local produce being used. Room was very clean and nicely decorated, cosy warm with a great shower. We would definitely return next time we’re in the...

Had lunch with family there and service and food both great! There was a great choice of gins and the food selection covered lighter bites as well as full lunch. It was made fresh and very tasty. The service was friendly and efficient.

We were staying up the road and walked to this delightful pub. It was a busy Sunday, full of locals. We sat at the front and spoke to a lovely couple with a dog. The atmosphere in this place is rocking, friendly staff and fab...

Dropped in on the off chance of there being room, the lovely front of house sorted me a lovely quiet table with room for my dogs to sit down. Lovely friendly staff and great atmosphere I had a Sunday Roast with Beef, this arrived quickly,...

Lovely pub with stunning views (the reason for 2 stars). Unfortunately the service and attitudes of the staff is very disappointing. My daughter wanted cheese on her chips and the man serving told us it was not in their policy to do this, (come on,...

I stayed for one night in the 'Spring' room. The room is beautifully decorated, a decent size for a pub, with nicely finished bathroom. A nice emphasis on local shower products - great to use! The surrounding area is very quiet, so a great night's...

The food is out of this world. This little pub in the middle of nowhere, where the beer is perfect and reasonably priced, then you come face to face with your meal ? OMG you savour every mouthful. Close your eyes and enjoy a Michelin...

We were disappointed with the length of time it took to be served our meal. There were 7 of us but service was very slow. Sadly when it did arrive beef was rather chewy and there was no apple sauce with the pork. We ordered...

Only a one night stopover, but wished it was longer. Our room was a suite and absolutely sumptuous. Cracking night sleep in a huge double bed. Dinner was one of the tastiest steaks, cooked to perfection, that I’ve ever eaten. Breakfast the next morning was...

Great view Good beer from this Butcombe pub. Good steak. Prices ok. Good walks around the area. Recommend a visit.

Return visit to enjoy my birthday treat from Butcombe's Super reserved table in the window, great view across the valley towards Colerne My wife had the Fish & Chips, very good portion & nice fish I had the Bavette Steak, beautifully cooked, excellent Washed down...

One thing that I don’t like is the 10% service charge added to bills. They’d had a problem with the delivery so a few items were off the menu. We had 4 sandwiches plus fries and the flat iron chicken. With drinks, 3 soft, one...

Wow … what I say about the Sunday roast? The best roast dinner I’ve ever had in a restaurant - all 6 of us agreed. Extra gravy provided, an amazing cauliflower cheese and choice of pork, beef or both. Massive Yorkshire pudding. However we found...

We had an excellent vegetarian Sunday lunch here. The staff were welcoming and very efficient. It was great value for money and we will return

If you want dinner with a view, this is your place. On top of a very steep hill, this pub is very picturesque. We had booked this place when we were stayed at Lorne House and was recommended to us by them and we had...

I can start by saying the location and setting of this pub is incredible. Perched on top of a steep hill with a gorgeous outlook of fields and hills what could be better. Menu was vast and had good options - they had run out...

Lovely pub, hearty good food and cheerful friendly staff. We didn’t have a booking but found a seat outside in the covered area - there are heat lamps so it was perfectly fine and warm, even in the drizzly weather. There looked to be some...

After a long day, we stumbled across this places. No reservation they made room for us out side which was lovely. Super welcoming and food was amazing. Great views. Highly recommend

First visit Been meaning to visit for a long time Today it was raining hard but once inside made very welcome Good reserved table My wife had the the pie & me the Cornish Sole Well presented My sole was particularly good Washed down with...

We had a lovely time, in this wonderful setting! The food was really nice and the staff were really nice too. I had a lovely fish & chips.

We wanted to book a table to eat outside in the beer garden. The website said table booking was for inside only. I rang but no-one answered. I emailed but no-one replied. We turned up anyway to be told they don't serve meals to walk-ins...

We visited on a weekday evening. The pub is in a beautiful position, although quite exciting to get to in a large car, as some of the lanes are very narrow. Don't leave it too late arriving, as on the night we were there the...

Quite how it would be possible to adulterate something as simple as a cheese toastie is beyond comprehension. A blind taste test would have found it impossible to discern exactly what was being offered. Both the bread and the cheese (if it was cheese) were...

Yes....we were saved by the lovely waitress here on Friday evening! It was my fault that he didn’t confirm out usual farm B and B....so when I arrived there on Friday afternoon,there was no room for us! Horrible feeling as it was a good bet...

My wife and I met some old friends for a catch-up. Knowing we would like some time together the staff were very nice and accommodating. We ordered Wild mushroom tortelloni, a Wiltshire 10oz gammon steak and I had the Butcombe Gold beer-battered fish and chips...

Not a good experience, average but very over priced food. Staff not very attentive . Poor service, wouldn't use again. Need some training.
