The Red Lion in Wiltshire

The most favourite haunted place! We arrived late on a Saturday evening, tired and very hungry. We ordered starters and mains — and yes, we had to wait, but reasonably for a Saturday night. And it was so worth it — the food was amazing! It felt wonderfully homemade and real, like something lovingly cooked just for us. And no, we don't have any food photos… as I said, we were VERY hungry. The pub is in an impeccable location, and we’ll definitely be back next time. However, I’m not sure I should leave such a glowing review… if everyone goes there now, I might not get a table next time! lol

Lovely welcoming pub in the heart of Avebury stone circle. Staff could not have been nicer, friendlier, beautiful building, wonderful coffee and food, absolutely idyllic.

We stopped for a lunchtime meal following a visit to avebury. We have chef and brewers near us as well as gastro pubs and have to say this was one of the best meals we have had in a long time. Fresh, food was tasty and service great. We ordered mixed grill which had the juciest gammon i have seen and mustard which made my husbands eyes run, and toasted chese sandwich which did not need the extra portion of chips as it came with some! We did time our visit well as by 1pm there was a 45 minute wait for food, but it is worth it. Can't recommend it enough!

We went to the Red Lion for our son’s 18th Birthday. Food was great, staff were working very hard as it was so busy. As a birthday gesture they very kindly deducted the cost of our son’s meal for his birthday.

Very Nice! Staff very polite and attentive. Nice food

Came with family for Sunday lunch. Staff very friendly, great atmosphere but food was dire. Most of us ordered Sunday roast, but all left pretty disappointed. Food was lukewarm, gravy very thick. I had a trio of roasts that should have come with crackling but didn't. We were asked if we'd like to order some sides of cauliflower cheese with our roasts and decided to have a couple portions. These weren't brought out to us and when we chased, we wish we hadn't...they came out and were kind of brown colour, very mushy and just not pleasant at all. The roast parsnip on my plate was still raw, looking like it had barely seen an oven. My husband had scampi and chips which was served with horseradish rather than tartare sauce. Overall very disappointed and won't be returning.

Tea, soft drinks and an absolutely cracking Full English for brunch. A lovely visit, putting the world to rights with a dear friend. Wonderful staff, nice atmosphere, comfortable seating options.

Very nice staff that were very helpful and the chicken and bacon sandwich with chips and a small side salad hit the spot for a filling lunch would recommend as a pit stop for the stone circles

Such a lovely welcoming pub. Went above and beyond to accommodate us. Landlord was very friendly and chatty. Perfect visit

Went on Saturday 22nd February 2025 for my husband birthday! First, we had to wait to be served at the bar as we booked a table 2 weeks ago! Then sat us down! Still needed a drink! I ask the server for a drink! Had to wait about 25 mins for him to ask me, then 20 mins for the drinks to come out! We ordered starters with the main food too again a long wait, then the server said who has taken you starters! We said we haven't had them yet! Then we had to wait 25 mins again! They forgot my starter, so put my husband starter under the heat lamps to so his was over cooked so hot you could touch it! Then the mains come out! My husband vegetables on his plate were raw!! The chips were cold! I forgot what I ordered as the long wait! Still didn't ask for drinks! We wanted to pay, so we are waiting for him to take the payment! We just got up and paid at the bar!! Then I went to m&s for a sandwich! As still hungry! Tryed getting in touch with Green King, no joy!

We decided to have tea here having walked around all of these stones. It was very quick and easy to book online. And the team was so lovely and welcoming. The food was fabulous and arrived quickly and very generous in portion size. It was a nice fair with menu too. Everyone was so friendly. The deco is lovely. And I was thrilled to find we could use our Tesco vouchers here!! What a win!! We would definitely come again. 10/10.

Visited for lunch as we were at Avebury for the afternoon (25/2) to soak up some historical vibes. Service/Food/Village all lovely. Well looked after in the (haunted) pub. Had to endure an annoying customer on the table next to us complaining about being "discriminated" against as there apparently weren't enough gluten-free options (there were several) but after the 9th apology from the very patient staff he eventually left. Can recommend. Great Coffee too.

In lovely Avebury inside the stone circle. Stopped off for drinks, lovely characterful pub. Check out the old well, which has been turned into a glass top table. Lovely walks to be had around Avebury.

Awesome. Chose this pub at random for it's location right next to Avebury stone circle. The quality of the food and friendly relaxed service were a bonus. Very friendly to kids and dogs and any combination thereof. To be sure, it wasn't too busy at this time of year, but we spent almost three hours over lunch without once feeling like we were outstaying our welcome. Definitely will come back. Felt like good value at £120 for four of us excluding tip, which I was more than happy to add

Stopped in for a drink and ended up ordering some bar food. The chips tasted like they were oven chips, then cottage pie croquettes were burnt. Nice atmosphere with a log burner and traditional country pub vibes. Friendly and polite staff. Dog friendly

We entered and we sat down at a table that didn’t look reserved and a waitress comes over and tells us that the table is reserved. That isn’t a big problem, we go sit down at another table and my mom goes to order and apparently they are serving food to the people who reserved I don’t give any hate to the waitress but I hate on the organization. I went there an other time with my family to eat and luckily they had food, I ordered and all was going well until the food arrived. I ordered a pizza from the kids menu, the food arrived and first impression it was so small I am eleven but I don’t have the appetite of a bird but as you say you can’t judge a book by its cover, I try it and it tasted as like its appearance it was ugly on the outside and the inside. I never thought I had to do this but I actually put salt on pizza. This pizza is a disgrace to pizza which is my favorite meal and this pub is a disgrace to pubs which I also like all I can say I GROSS!!!

Website says it is dog friendly but a sign on the door says dogs welcome on a lead in the garden-so not very dog friendly at all. We didn’t bother!

Gorgeous pub in a gorgeous setting.

A beautiful old country pub surrounded by history and nature, what more could you ask for? The food is simple, well made, and as British as a bulldog. The service is excellent and the landlord is full of stories about the place.

Quick service and great food when we dropped in for lunch after a walk. They couldn’t have been more accommodating for our three dogs and the waitress, Morgan, was a star! Excellent and highly recommended.

Perfect day out at Avebury finishing up at the red lion for a beautiful pie and chip lunch highly recommend thankyou

No food purchased, just drinks. Situated in the middle of Avebury Stone Circle on through road. Very small car park, enter details in computer. National Trust car park, £7.00 8 minutes away. Pleasant and efficient staff.

Food was lovely. Service was slow. 2 members of the staff were exceptionally rude. Younger staff were pleasant, older staff were foul.

Lovely, cosy, pub next to Avebury henge. Love the landlord. Food is beautiful and the environment is cosy and quiet.

Friendly place. The food is adequate.

As always the place is nice and cosy

Service was amazing.. food was ok

Spur of the moment drop in, smashing chap on the bar, great food but the wine glass was a little foggy...the wine was fine though!

Simply perfect. Staff are great, food was perfect. Visited today and cannot fault the young lady working behind the bar. We will be back soon

Didn’t bring out our starters, just forgot them.we had our main then said do you want your starters now? Service was ok, no one really knew what they were doing though

Both our meals were great, as every meal we have had there has been. The staff are attentive and friendly as usual. Is always a great experience tp eat there.

Friendly welcome, excellent service, great ambiance and decor, and delicious food. Imaginative menu, good beers, recommended.

Liz was excellent, great banter with Peter

Great food, great staff, great pint. Fire place. Perfect pub.

I always loved the Red Lion at Avebury. I spent a lot of my youth there over the years, hugging stones and watching sunrises! Whilst visiting family, I thought I'd pop in and see what it's like. It hasn't changed, it has the same lovely, friendly welcome, good food, and centuries of history. You can almost feel the folk from the past sitting amongst you. I even remembered to say 'hello again' to the ghost of the lady of the well' she hasn't changed a bit! lol

Had a drink here. Local guy told me about the pub being haunted. Loved it! Pub looks amazing!

The staff were friendly and welcoming. They were very busy but still found us a table after we waited briefly. The food was amazing and served quickly. Dog friendly. The pub has a very cosy and friendly atmosphere. I would definitely visit again and would love to stay the night as a guest.

Great beer, food, and staff. It's worth a stop off and probably a great place to stay.... maybe next time. It's so close to the historical stones, in fact, it's right there!

The Manager of the pub was really wonderful. We had a warm welcome and had brought a friend with us who was visiting from America and wanted to experience a British pub. There was a roaring log fire, a friendly welcome from the manager who bought us food menus and drinks and even heard the story of the resident ghost much to the delight of our American friend! What a wonderful experience. We shall definitely be back if we are visiting again. The pub had been recommended to us by friends prior to visiting. So glad to have found it. Fabulous! Thankyou

A first class service was provided to my party. Nothing was too much trouble and we never once felt rushed in any way. The food was first class and my grandaughter who is a fuzzy eater was accommodated in her request.

Brilliant food and great old pub! Hot meals, big portions and pretty reasonably priced. Cool addition - dogs are allowed inside.

Superb food and great service. Book early to avoid disappointment. Lovely pub in the middle of Avebury Stone Circle! Struggle to finish the meals!

A party of 10 attended a birthday lunch for my 82 yr old mother in law. We were told on arrival that there was a 40 min wait for food. Starters arrived quite quickly, but were not up to a very good standard. At least 3 of us had calamari which had been fried for too long. Then followed a 1.5 hr wait for our mains. Several of us ordered the glazed pork belly- this would suggest it would come out slightly crisp, however, it arrived like it had been boiled. My husband’s was pure mush. Mine not much better and the veg was all over cooked. My husband returned his meal, but was not prepared to wait an additional 1.5 hrs for another meal, so opted for a bowl of soup. We were all disappointed that the occasion had been marred by the unacceptable wait for our meals and the disappointment at the content of them. Why not cancel the booking if you are over run? It would have given us an opportunity to celebrate elsewhere where we would be attended to accordingly and have food that was of a decent standard.

We have been here twice over the last five years, and we are ALWAYS impressed with the Red Lion. Atmosphere is clean and well laid out, service is friendly, and the food is PHENOMENAL! This time, we had the British slow-cooked ale & pie, lamb shank shepherd's pie, and Barber's smothered chicken - all were perfect. We'll be back!

Good points: Pub is really cosy, very dog friendly and the service was excellent. Not quite so good points: the food was a little patchy - the garden medley dishes were tasty, but the bread / toast, was so hard as to be almost inedible. Even the dog was chewing for quite some time on the bit he was offered. The mushroom pie tasted ok, but had a very hard crust and very little filling. The carrots were overcooked and all the veg tasted like it was cooked from frozen. It was also pretty slow to arrive, it was coming on an hour from ordering to receiving the main course, although to be fair it was extremely busy. Most of the Chef & Brewer / Greene King pubs I've visited have been disappointing food wise, so I wasn't entirely surprised. We parked in the National Trust car park (a complete shambles), so didn't have any issues with the privately run car park at the pub. So, a beautiful venue, with loads of potential and a pretty captive market, but just not amazing food.

Gorgeous place! Delicious mulled wine! 🍷👌 Was a great time to visit this amazing cozy place on the last day of the year! Perfect end of the year in beautiful place! Highly recommend visiting!

Very nice toasties and soup looked and smelled delicious. A little pricey but isn't everywhere? Very close to Avebury standing stones and museum.

Perfect Pub in a perfect location nice beers and a decent Steak! Loved the Squids as starter

We visited The Red Lion during the Winter Solstice, and despite the pub being absolutely packed with Yule celebrations in full swing, the experience was exceptional. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and we were served by Huw, who truly went above and beyond. His friendly demeanor and efficient service stood out, especially considering how busy the pub was. We ordered the steak and ale pie, which was an absolute delight. The portion was generous, the flavors rich and hearty, and it was cooked to perfection – just what you want from a classic pub dish. If you’re ever in Avebury, particularly during the solstice, The Red Lion is a must-visit. The food, service, and atmosphere make it a standout spot.

The Red Lion was the perfect retreat from a chilly Solstice Eve in Avebury. The Pub was cosy and the fire was lit. The Staff were friendly and professional.

Excellent place for dinner after a busy day in mid-October visiting a few historic sites from Bath area through to Avebury henge and stone circle. The five of us (wide range of ages) had a variety of dinner meals and all were eaten up with pleasure. Unfortunately, some of the Sunday roast options were no longer available. The pub has fairly good ambience with interesting tales (ghost stories, historic well). Free parking with registration (I've suffered bureaucratic errors elsewhere from this method but was fine here on this occasion). Visited 20th October 2024

After our last experience when everything was perfect today sadly lack this batter over cooked chips Luke warm And no hot drinks .so disappointed today.

We had a meal at Red Lion after a lovely walk around Avebury! The food was great and we were served by Huw who was absolutely wonderful and ever so kind/welcoming! Looking forward to visiting again, thank you so much!

Friendly staff, lovely food, excellent service

Lovely pub lovely food. And staff kind and very efficient love the table by window

I had a fantastic meal and evening at the Red Lion on a Monday night. Good humble food - recommend the steak and ale pie. Friendly and attentive service from Charlotte, the pub assistant, and great chatting to the owner too. Felt very at home. Thanks!

lovely pub and restaurant, our waiter Naomi was great, food came out quickly

The manager Hugh was very knowledgable about the stones and the haunted building. Food was excellent. Will come again

Absolutely loved our visit! Ryan was our server and he was knowledgeable and polite. Prompt service! Nice food 😀

Naomi gave me great service, she is a fantastic worker, especially given she's due a baby.

Amazing service! We came up for a drink a few Sundays ago... and saw the food and thought we must return and we did and the Sunday roast was gorgeous! The manager was so friendly and we always have a warm welcome! Even chatted about the history of the pub which being in a historic England landmark was just awesome. The menu looks great and we will return to try some other tempting offerings the red lion t Avebury has to offer! Thank you to the lovely team at the red lion! Food was superb 5 stars all round ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We came 2 nights in a row for a weekend away. Food both nights was brilliant, really tasty. Sitting by the fire was especially lovely. The service was great and a special mention to Liz on our first night and Huw who was a lovely host, and very welcoming. We look forward to visiting again

Comfy, cosy traditional pub with excellent service and drinks. Just stopping by so can't comment on food. Dogs welcome, thank you 😊

Unique pub in world heritage site, stones great, church worth visit, pub with a 16th century well and roaring fire, with alinformative staff (Hugh) on area so useful. Throughly enjoyed my visit and highly recommend. Great meal of Fish & Chips too!

I wonder what would have happened if I had followed him that night. A truly strange night. Ruby. At that time, I was fine with that. Either one was fine. But now the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the young branch of David, has met me.

Lovely experience at Red Lion. Very attentive and experienced staff. Served by Hugh We will return. Great festive menu

Amazing traditional pub visit regularly always great food and friendly atmosphere. Staff are always welcoming. Huw especially is always extremely kind and helpful. Couldn’t recommend a visit more.

Wonderful pub in Avebury. Best option here for food !!! And Huw was amazing and full of life. Would totally come again.

Avebury is a place unlike any other—a village steeped in history, spirituality, and wonder, nestled within the world’s only inhabited stone circle. To visit Avebury is to step into a realm of ancient significance, where every stone has a story to tell, and every corner carries whispers of the past. In such a unique and magical setting, one would hope for establishments that reflect the spirit and character of the place. Unfortunately, The Red Lion, Avebury’s sole pub, falls dismally short of this expectation. The Red Lion itself is a historic building, a structure that should embody the charm and warmth of the area. Instead, it has been reduced to yet another victim of corporate homogenization. Owned by Chef & Brewer, one of the many chains that dominate the UK pub industry, it has lost all individuality and soul. This is a tragedy not just for Avebury, but for Britain’s pub culture as a whole. The menu is uninspired, serving the same lifeless, pre-prepared meals you might find in hundreds of chain pubs across the country. The food lacks flavour, freshness, and any sense of care. It’s a disheartening experience for diners—one that leaves both stomachs and spirits unfulfilled. The pub itself feels like a caricature of what a traditional English pub should be: all aesthetic, no substance. In a place as extraordinary as Avebury, this feels not just disappointing but almost insulting. The corporatization of British pubs has been an unfortunate trend over the past few decades. Once vibrant, community-driven hubs, many pubs have been bought out by large companies that prioritize profit over quality or character. This industrialization strips pubs of their individuality, replacing local traditions with generic branding and pre-packaged experiences. The result? A watered-down, soulless version of what a pub once was. The Red Lion’s fate is emblematic of this larger issue. Its location in the heart of Avebury—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—only amplifies the mismatch between its setting and its offering. This pub should be a celebration of Avebury’s unique history and community, a place where locals and visitors alike can gather to soak in the magic of the village. Instead, it feels out of place, a corporate chain masquerading as a local institution. In Avebury, where the past feels so alive, it’s especially jarring to see the present manifest in such a disappointing way. A place as extraordinary as this deserves better—a pub that honours its surroundings, serves food with care and flavour, and embraces the unique spirit of the village. The Red Lion, in its current form, does none of these things. It’s a stark reminder of what we lose when heritage and individuality are sacrificed to corporate convenience. Avebury deserves a pub that reflects its soul. Sadly, The Red Lion is not it.

Amazing sausages and mash. But the waiter who helped us was quite awkward and the service was overall rather slow. The ghost floating out of the well was a bonus.

Nice beer the ‘fireside winter ale’ almost makes this visit a positive experience, lovey location and great service from the staff, sadly all wasted effort. The whole place is horribly let down by a criminally inept kitchen unable to even cook a sausage! I would be so embarrassed if this ever came out of my kitchen especially at this price point! (£15 for 3 sausages and a scoop of mash is criminal). And to top it off the disabled bathroom was absolutely filthy with old uncleaned vomit, at 6pm. All round awful experience at a premium price.

We were greeted by a friendly HUW We were given a table in the restaurant . Decorated for Christmas 🎄 He kindly advised us to order quickly as a table of 15 people were shortly to arrive . We ordered meals and drinks which were all excellent . And we didn’t have to wait long at all .so sound advice from HUW 😀 All the staff were there to make our experience enjoyable . I am sure we will be visiting again . Thank you to all the Red Lion staff 😊

We met family here on Sunday for lunch and had such a lovely meal. We all had roasts and I had the trio which was such a generous amount of food. Didn't have room for dessert but there was a great selection to choose from so will have to visit again. We were offered a festive menu as well which looked incredible with some seasonal dishes. Maybe on the next visit we will have to give it ago. The place was decorated ready for Christmas which made it look warm and cosy. After lunch we took a walk round the area which was

Fantastic food and lovely setting! Dog friendly which is always great. Parking available. Lovely place in a great location.

Perfect place for lunch, super food and lovely atmosphere.

A lovely Sunday lunch. Beautifully cooked and served in unique surroundings. You’re best booking as it gets busy.

We booked for breakfast. The food was well presented, generous and well cooked. There are reviews about the parking, but we had no issues. Plenty of clear signage in the car park and a screen directly in front of you on entering the bar to put in your car reg. Huw, the landlord also served us. Huw was friendly and arranged to get the open fire started. An enjoyable experience all round. We will return when next in the area.

Firstly we are pretty easy going and we don't generally do this - but this was really disappointing. It's the second time we have visited the Red Lion and the first time was poor, we just thought it was a bit of bad luck. However, our second visit was actually worse than the first. We sat in the bar area and ordered our food from the bar - it was two chicken and bacon ciabatta. Just a lunch. We waited for about an hour for food to arrive When the food arrived the chips very cold, broken bits not chips, ciabatta top slice so overbaked, the bottom slice was so soggy it stuck to the plate. We are honestly not sure if the filling was supposed to be hot or cold as the chicken was dry and luke warm and the bacon cold? Presentation honestly just thrown on the plate. There was no mayonnaise we had to ask for it. Very poor This is what we ordered, sounded delicious????? Chicken & Bacon Sandwich With grilled chicken breast, smoked bacon, mayonnaise, baby gem lettuce and tomato on a crusty ciabatta. Served with skin-on fries and seasonal salad £9.49

Just had one of the best Sunday Roasts for a good while. Cal was very friendly and efficient and did a top job serving us. Can't recommend the Red Lion enough.

We have been here several times. And the service, the quality of the beer, and the food is NOT a flash in the pan. A great pub. And a good place to park if you can buy a few beers in the bar which is much better value than paying huge amounts for the National Trust car park . . which not as hospitable. Anyway, well done The Red Lion!

Decided to try somewhere a little different for a family Birthday and chose the Red Lion. We were greeted by a cosy country pub, warm, welcoming and full of history. As a large group of 14, I can honestly say the evening went without problem. All orders were correct, food was amazing and arrived together, piping hot too. The service was also top notch, nothing was too much hassle. Great staff, great venue, great food, even got a birthday card from the owner!! A first for me!! Sure we’ll all see you again soon. Thanks for a wonderful evening.

Arrived to Avebury early morning to enjoy the peace and atmosphere before the half term mayhem and get parking. The staff let me in the pub early for a coffee and were very accommodating !!!! Thank you so much great customer service.

Really nice pub, in the centre of a stone circle! It's a good spot to chill after exploring the stone circles and ancient mounds of surrounding Avebury. It's actually quite large and upmarket, not in a bad way, it's not a stereotypical village pub in looks inside. Though it still has a friendly, rest-stop feeling to it. The pub has outdoor seating and indoor dining areas. Not had the food but been several times for drinks while exploring the beautiful areas around it. Always had a good experience, the staff and other patrons are very friendly. Can get quite busy as it's a destination pub for walking groups and tourists, so if you wish to eat booking a table is advised.

Good food, not expensive however it does take a while as the place gets very busy. Poor range of ales as well.

We visited the Red Lion for breakfast whilst visiting with friends and had such a great time. We were seated in the restaurant area next to a roaring fire which certainly kept us cosy as the weather outside was not the best. Liz offered us some hot drinks to warm up whilst we browsed the very extensive menu. All of us decided to go for the full breakfast and the portion sizes were good. The atmosphere we really enjoy and service was so good we have decided to book for dinner as well. Will defiantly return again and there is so much in the area to do. They are even dog friendly so may have to pop back in after a long walk.

Great pub within the stone circle, chicken burger and chips tasty.

Lovely Pub, Diner and Hotel with a rich history close to and associated with the Avebury Stone Circle

We arrived and had no issues with parking, which was free, then ordered and service was really quick, no later than 15’ the food was on the table. The meat was really well cooked and everything super tasty. Great Guinness as well. If you want to experience a very British place don’t hesitate coming here!

Excellent service with a large variety of good hearty food in a very pleasant setting! The pub & restaurant has a really lovely warm feel to it & the team were more than welcome & friendly! Definitely one of my favourite places to go now! Service & food as it should be...Enjoyable!!

Absolutely outstanding experience, cannot say enough about Cal. He’s so kind and sweet and helpful! Our food was delicious but I’ll come back time and time again to see Cal. Such a memorable dining experience, and we enjoyed a lovely cuppa and warmed up from the chilly weather. Would recommend!

I particularly enjoyed the flavor and presentation of the Garden Patch Medley. The vegetables were set over a delightful pea and cashew mash, and I appreciated the creative plating. The drizzle of dressing garnished with seasoned peas and seeds added a nice contrasting texture as well as adding visual appeal.

We ordered a burger and I have never eaten such a dry burger. We had to ask for sauce and drink a liter of water

I have tried to call on numerous occasions on numerous times of day they never answer! I have been to this pub a handful of times and to be real with you, I only return due to the Korean spicy chicken dish they do! (Unfortunately I believe it has been taken off the menu!) This was the only saving grace for me for coming back to this pub, now that has gone I will never return! I think me and my four friends are in the same boat to be honest as we only go there for the Korean chicken due to poor service and quality of food compared to the price you pay! Every time I’ve eaten there, I’ve ended up waiting too long for food to come out, big wait period between courses! The staff seem rushed off their feet way too much and can’t handle a couple of tables at once (I’d hate to see it when it’s busy!) Many times I’ve asked about an item on the menu and the servers couldn’t answer me so they state they need to ask the chef, to which they never return and I end up asking twice! Quality of food for the price you pay is probably the poorest I’ve seen in a pub ever! (Apart from the Korean chicken obviously that is sadly gone) They just don’t seem to care enough but still quite happy to charge what they charge for the poor quality and poor service! I’ve since read a comment saying they don’t have control over pricing in house… what a poor excuse, people do not complain because the price is high! They complain because the quality of food and service by the staff members doesn’t add up with the price you charge! I doubt I will ever return now after learning the Korean chicken has gone from the menu! This would not be the case if the service, atmosphere and quality of food was actually there but sadly it is not! - I wouldn’t waste your time/money here quite frankly… It’s the only pub in the area however it is definitely worth the extra distance to have a better experience than this!

Very interesting place right by the Avebury Henge. The staff was friendly but remember you need to get up and order yourself. American laziness on our part. Order the Apple Tart. Amazing!!

What a shame, beautiful location and it's a great location for a drink after a hike. We went for a roast, got a glass of wine, but the glass had lipstick on it and the water glass had some bits sat at the bottom. Waitress was really good about it, sorted it for us, but she was super busy, so it took some time. I wanted the ribs meat, but they had run out by 3pm on a Sunday, so went for the mushroom wellington. It was just really salty, not a lot of flavour and disappointing. The veg was clearly frozen, as it was mushy and unseasoned and the potatoes reminded me of school dinner ones (not good at all). Wife meal was the same, nothing to sing home about. I would go back for a pint after a walk, but I wouldn't eat there again, which is a shame, as it has so much potential.

Absolutley brilliant service from Cal - he was polite and kind and seated us exactly where we wanted to be - at the well table! Such an atmospheric place! He was attentive and reccomended great choices for us. The food was delicious - we went for the 8 hour slow cooked beef rib - absolultey sumptuous and full of flavor! Had the pear frangipani on Cal's suggestion and it was delicious. Brilliant pub, great staff lovely atmosphere! Great way to end our spooky tour of the south!

A lovely old pub rendered soulless by Greene King. The food was good enough, but no local beer or cider and a complete dearth of atmosphere or culture. A true disappointment.

Typical low quality deep fried food pub food . Why can’t places do better . No thought in preparation or taste. I pay a price I expect more

Not giving a rating for food as having stood in the queue for 15 minutes was told not taking anymore orders,having driven for 45 minutes not impressed and will not be back very poor organisation and service
