The Roost in Wiltshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Absolutely amazing afternoon tea! Food and service excellent.

I booked afternoon tea for 6 people, 1 gluten free and 1 gluten and dairy free, they catered for us all. The food was very good, with a good selection of savoury and sweet items. The waitress was lovely and very attentive. We will be going back to try the evening meal. Thank you to all the staff, first class all round. I would definitely recommend you try this lovely restaurant.

Wonderful stop for lunch on our tour of Malmesbury. Food was delicious, staff were so lovely and welcoming and a beautiful building to dine in. Easy to miss it from an unassuming entranceway. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely meal, the staff were welcoming and attentive. The menu offered a wide range of choice. Great for people with different preferences. We had the mussels to start and a calzone and Sri Lankan curry for mains. The food was delicious and at a reasonable price. Will be coming back again to try more of the menu. Thanks for a lovely dinner.

friendly staff, quick service, nice setting and excellent tasty food. We really enjoyed it.

Disappointing food. Under cooked pizza with canned tuna in place of anchovies and Sri Lankan curry with no flavour or heat.

I do not know why there are poor reviews as we can honestly say, the food was excellent, service very good, lovely venue and we would recommend. We had lasagne, vegetable risotto and chicken Caesar salad. Prices very reasonable and we will return as the Sri Lankan meals smelt divine and regretted not trying one dish.

Great menu for a family where half love pizza and half love curry! The special was something special.

We went for a quiet Italian lunch. Roost came up perfectly with calamari, bruschetta and a seafood mixed grill. All perfectly cooked with beautiful flavours- even down to a super tasty garnish salad! But the most surprising treat was the Sri Lankan curry - what a wonderfully spiced, fresh curry with flat bread and rice. I can safely say it was one of the best dishes I have eaten. Super service and good wine. Absolutely recommend Roost to any Malmesbury visitors or residents.

Fantastic afternoon tea, the food was great and the staff went above and beyond to provide a wonderful experience.

A wonderful experience.....the food was excellent, the service was excellent, couldn't fault anything....they even did a gluten free carbonara to take away for our daughter. 5 stars all round.

Lovely restaurant in the heart of this small town. The menu is varied, there’s plenty of choice from traditional English dishes, pizza and salads. I had a fantastic Sri Lankan curry. Service is great too!

Had some wonderful Sri Lankan food, recommended by our server. A lovely warm welcome. Would highly recommend.

Booked online for myself and my partner. We had not been there before so thought we would give it a try. When we arrived we were told that they were closed as they had a wedding booked and we should have received an email, but I had not. It actually came through as we stood there. They did not apologise and were very rude. Other people came in who had also booked online and had not received an email. It was a good thing that it was only the two of us and not a group. It spoiled our evening and we had to quickly find somewhere else to eat. They need to get their act together. That’s the first and last time we shall go there.

Best afternoon tea ever 😋 We saw that the Roost had started doing afternoon teas, so for my birthday I went today with my Mum and a friend. They do a variety of different cream teas and afternoon teas. We had the Julia sweet and savoury afternoon tea. It was amazing. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The sandwiches (tuna and cucumber, cheese and tomato, egg mayonnaise and cress) , cakes (variety of delicious cakes) fruit scones, jam and clotted cream and savoury (samosas, spring rolls, tempura prawns) were all delicious. Even the tea and coffee was lovely. Very reasonably priced, excellent freshly made food. We would definitely recommend going here to anyone. We will certainly be back. A big thank you to the lovely staff.

Well well well, What an amazing hidden gem we found last night! With never eaten in malmesbury before we were looking all over google! We went to one place and had a starter but the mains weren’t what we wanted really fancied so we searched for another place and Roost was around the corner! So off we Trot!! It was incredible! The food was insanely amazing! The service was impeccable! The cocktails ( we nearly went through the menu, ooops) was presented 10/10! We just really had a 10/10 experience! I already can’t wait to go back! Thanks to the team for making our evening so lovely!! We don’t get a night off very often, and we honestly couldn’t have had a better one!!

Beautiful building, lovely family running the restaurant. We opted for the traditional Sri Lankan curry and it was so delicious. Very spicy, very fresh and some new flavours.

Beautiful building. Lovely family running it. We went for the traditional Shrilankan curry. Very spicey and delicious. Would love to come back soon.

Went for lunch on Sunday. Food was lovely, especially the mixed seafood grill. Service was superb.

Fantastic food, fantastic service, fantastic setting and great value!

My first visit to Roost and the food was excellent. We had Sri Lankan curries which were really tasty, perfectly spiced and good portions. The service was friendly and attentive. The Guild Hall is a spectacular building. Atmosphere was a little lacking as it was quite quiet when we arrived (because it was early evening on a Tuesday) but improved as more guests arrived. Perhaps could have done with slightly louder and more ambient music, but otherwise can’t fault it. Please put more of your delicious Sri Lankan food on the menu! I will definitely return! Thank you.

Amazing food and superb hospitality.

Definitely will be returning. Lovely people and delicious food. We had starters, mains and cocktails, everything was perfect. Lovely to have some Sri Lankan dishes in malmesbury. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff Excellent building The food, we ate there twice and had 3 courses each time with cocktails. Couldn't fault a thing. All perfect. Beautiful food, well presented.

The food was amazing. Hot and delicious. The service was excellent. Owners very kind and friendly.

Excelente food I really enjoy it. Very friendly staff. Hi really recommend it.

Delicious, well presented food. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

What an amazing restaurant fantastic food phenomenal service great atmosphere 100% recommend keep up the amazing work.

Great restaurant. The food was good, the dessert (panna cotta) was out of this world!! Absolutely top notch service from the whole staff team. Lovely evening

The bottom of the pizza was burnt, the food was overpriced, and the portion size small, another customer loudly exclaimed as we ordered and unfortunately turned out to be correct. Menu says fusion but comes across as confused and neither done very well. Shame as our first visit under previous management was so much better. In response to your reply, I will check my bank account and get you the exact date time as you were definitely open and I definitely didn't dream eating such awful food. Shame you couldn't just apologise and address the issues. I have taken stars off because of your poor attitude!

Great service and food been twice will come again.

Excellent meal tonight, sea bass was great. Lovely place , service was a little slow but understandable as they had all large party in. Will definitely come back

What a delightful restaurant! From the moment you enter, you are warmly greeted at the door by the owner and her staff. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Very spacious and full of character. We chose the Sri Lankan devilled chicken and pork with vegetable rice...delicious! The waitress had checked our spice level and we went for medium which was just perfect. Warming without being uncomfortable! Charming venue, charming staff and tasty food - ideal night out!

Visited this restaurant whilst in Malmesbury and it was brilliant. Everything was top notch from food to service and the owners cannot do enough for you. It had the perfect balance of quality service and atmosphere along with the genuine dedication and care of the staff. We will be returning often and soon.

When you make a booking 2 weeks in advance you would expect a phone call or email if the restaurant was not going to be open

The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is great, pretty clean and well maintained.Highly recommend the Roost Restaurant at Malmesbury.

Amazing place to have food in Malmsbury . We were a party of 8 with different taste in food , some vegetarian and some vegan. I can say we were all satisfied. The menu offers dishes from the Italian tradition and dishes from the srilankan tradition. It is not fusion food, just a menu that offered two different styles of cuisine . The atmosphere is great and the interior is pretty clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly and welcoming. 🥣Soup of day ***** Lentil and butternut- just delicious! 🍗 Chargrilled chicken ***** Served with delicious vegetables in a creamy sauce 🍖 mixed grill **** Served with fries and a little salad . I recommend you to order medium rare 🍛rice and curry ( great for vegans) ***** Everything cooked to perfection and tasted as if we were having the food in srilanka 🥓 pork steak **** 🍝seafood Risotto *** Rice was cooked well. Personally found it a bit sweet. 🥩 sirloin Steak ***** Asked for a medium rare - and it was cooked to perfection. The sauce was delicious too! Will be going back !

We had a really lovely meal here whilst staying in Malmesbury for the Easter Break. Service and food was fantastic and it's was great to be able to bring our little dog along too, they have a separate section that is dog friendly which is still a lovely part of the restaurant. Would definitely visit again if were back in the area.

Good food and great service! One of the best places on Malmesbury to share an amazing meal while having a quality time. Good atmosphere and the staff was very helpful. We would definitely come back.

Good restaurant to eat relaxed. Very good food, very friendly staff. You can eat salad, pasta, pizza. We will have a salad for dinner with a cola of white wine (very good).

Beautiful food in a beautiful setting - the waiting staff were excellent, attentive and friendly . Highly recommend the devilled Sri Lankan curry 😊

Great place to have food in Malmesbury .

Great food, great people, great place to be.

Lovely place, everyone should eat here at least once. The venue is pretty and relaxed. The food quality is exquisite and the staff are so kind and caring. 10/10 recommend

Went to celebrate Mother’s Day. We had the most fantastic time. The food is very good quality, the staff were so friendly and kind and the venue gives off a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Mum given got a complimentary glass of Prosecco which was a nice surprise. Would recommend this lovely place to anybody families, couples or dining alone. My mother in law and partner had the seafood platter which they said was incredible as the seafood was fresh and good quality fish. (They love their seafood). I had the Sri Lanken devilled curry which was delicious and filling. Very glad to have tried it. My brother in law had the mixed grill and he said it looked like it was cooked with care and the lamb was incredibly moist. Thankyou for having us- will definitely be back!

Lovely staff and delicious food

Fantastic meal at Roost, the Steak was cooked to perfection and the staff were very professional, friendly and welcoming. highly recommended. Great choice on the menu and a wide selection of drinks.

What a Great place to eat and socialise with friends ,food excellent ,Great service and very resonably priced food and drink . Will be returning 2024

A lot to like about this restaurant and a few issues that I hope will be addressed in time (the new owners only bought it 4 months ago so I'll cut them some slack) The good stuff: * Lovely restaurant, great atmosphere * Very good food * Very helpful and friendly staff The to-be-improved stuff: * It was cold. To be fair, we went on an unexpectedly cold day and the restaurant has a very high ceiling. This means even loads of heaters will struggle to warm that volume of air * The nature of the building means there are going to be drafts, especially when you're sitting next to a window (we had to move) * The vegetarian options for the dinner menu's main course were few and far between. It was a choice between Spaghetti Pomodoro and Summer Vegetable Risotto. Luckily the spaghetti was delicious but two veggie dishes out of twenty isn't a lot of choice Ultimately, we had a lovely meal, and the young man that served us couldn't have been nicer.

Large table of mostly tweens for a birthday dinner. Food from across the menu (Italian, Sri Lankan( was excellent.

Great service, great food and the back ground music was lovely. It is dog friendly in the bar area.

Went for a friends birthday. The best food I’ve had in ages. Really delicious. The staff were amazing and went out of their way to cater to our tastes including vegan. Great waiters Michael and James were really attentive and hard working. We will be back.

A smashing evening. Has the potential to become a major local centre for fusion food, which is badly needed and which I believe they are fully capable of delivering as they continue to diversify away from the Italian menu they took over.

My friend and I had a lovely lunch at Roost. We had a goats cheese salad with balsamic glaze. It was delicious! Beautifully presented and very tasty.

Lovely evening at the Roost. Staff were very friendly, the food was really good mix of cuisines.

This resaurant has recently been taken over by a lovely Sri Lankan couple. It was Italian and they still have Italian dishes on the menu, as well as some Sri Lankan dishes. I went wtih my husband and a friend and we had a wonderfully tasty meal. The mains were delicious and so were the desserts, beautifuly presented by the smiling owner. I cannot reccomend this restaurant enough and hope to be able to go back soon.

Had a fantastic evening in a very relaxed atmosphere whilst enjoying authentic Sri Lankan food. Both the pork and chicken rice and curry were flavorsome and the spiciness was adjusted upon request. Moreover, the deviled chicken curry was scrumptious.

I have never felt robbed after visiting a restaurant before, I did last night. Service was poor and slow. Although some staff were good two had attitude with everything they did. The Steak was terrible. Hard to cut despite being medium rare. For the price I could have bought 3 and cooked to a far higher standard. The entire menu is overpriced for what it is. I won't be visiting again. Lack of atmosphere and to hear who I assume is the manager at the bar saying they are too busy for more or something along those lines. It was nowhere near full and you could see they were struggling. There was 6 of us and it was the biggest waste of £200 ever. Edit: forgot to mention the menu didn't make any sense, banoffee pie said it had a digestive base but it they used rich tea. So weird.

Changed recently to Roost. Before it was a fine dining Italian place. The service is still amazing! The atmosphere brilliant ! The food that I got …. well I left and went to a pub next door. As it was my first time there, I ordered fish and chips to be safe. It came in 3 different small pieces. 2 were off.. the so much so when I tried it I had to spit into a towel. The batter was weird, tasted uncooked but was crunchy… an achievement. Extremely disappointing on the food but the care after I told them is commendable. I’m hoping I had a bad batch and will give it a try again. Hopefully this time I will leave happy 😭🫶🏾

Fantastic meal, great atmosphere, attentive staff. Highly recommend.

The food was delicious. Would like to see more Sri Lankan dishes on menu.

Absolutely amazing! Fantastic food and great service

Best food and lovely Staff. Definitely will visit again soon.

Absolutely delicious. I chose the SriLankan curry and it was so flavourful, yummy! and beautifully presented. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very relaxed. Such a lovely evening.

Had a wonderful meal last night at Roost. Tried the Sri Lankan special and it was absolutely delicious. Full or flavour and variety. Lovely atmosphere and welcoming staff. Will be back often. Well done, all of you!

The staff are fantastic and very attentive. A lovely location for good quality and reasonably priced food with an Italian twist. It was lovely to see the owner doing the rounds and chatting with patrons. Will definitely be back.

The food was delicious and also a lovely friendly atmosphere. It was lovely seeing families eating together early evening. Well ✅ ne and good luck in your new venture

It has just recently changed to The Roost and what a disaster! 2 poorly managed young waiters doing everything and I found the owner to be rude. The calamari tasted straight out of a packet, my steak had not been rested and was grey when cooked, and the juices spilled over my plate and down the table onto the floor and my dress. As for my mojito cocktail it didn't taste anything like. Such a shame, won't be re-visiting and hoping la campagnia comes back! We were so disappointed.

Shame, as friends have had great meals here. Our dinner on Saturday was very average. Two out of four meals were okay, but the chicken pasta dish was tasteless and the chicken was dry. The pizza was poor, the cheese was not melted and the dough at the centre was not cooked. Service was polite, but haphazard and quite disinterested. Probably an off day when we visited, as generally the reviews and feedback are positive.

Lovely building. The young staff were very good as was the food. No problems at all

The meal was okay. I ordered steak which was cooked perfectly how I requested. The Béarnaise sauce (at additional cost to the steak) however was cold as was the fresh roasted tomato. I didn't raise this with the waitress as the steak was fine so I didn't want that to go cold whilst they rectified the sauce and tomato. The staff were very friendly and there were no other issues.

We had a delicious meal here. The staff were friendly and attentive despite it being an unexpectedly busy Tuesday evening... I think most tables were full. My calamari and pizza were lovely.

Booked a 60th surprise meal for ten. Menu covered all for choice, good wine, service fantastic, staff very friendly, good price, all very impressed. Will go for Sunday roast next time.

Everything excellent! The food, service… highly recommend

Visited on a quiet Wednesday Evening with some work colleagues service was great and the staff were very friendly the building is very smart with some lovely features it just felt a little cold both in temperature and lack of ambient music

Great evening meal here on Friday. First time dinning here and was not disappointed. Good was great, lovely service and nice atmosphere.

Visiting the area and came across this little gem for lunch. The setting was lovely, the staff very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious 😋

First time I have come here after hearing good reviews. The food was beautiful, and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Very nice quaint restaurant set in a lovely little town. We shall come back. Great job, guys 😊

Excellent lunch mid week. Food and service excellent and reasonably priced. Definitely visit again

one of the best Italian restaurants I've eaten at ❤️❤️❤️

La Campagna is a great Italian restaurant located in Malmesbury. The staff were very friendly and welcoming when we walked in for lunch on Saturday. The food was excellent - we had the risotto and lasagna, which both tasted authentic and delicious. The desserts were also very good. The restaurant is conveniently located near short stay parking, and only a 5 minute walk from the long stay car park. Overall, we had a great experience at La Campagna and would definitely recommend it to others.

Always a lovely meal. We went just before Christmas and had the lunch menu. Very good and great value.

A charming village in the Cotswolds. Excellent food and sublime service. They were also open on a Sunday at 8pm.

Had a fabulous meal last evening with group of 8 friends. We dined from the Set Christmas Menu. Really good selection to choose from. Food portions both delicious and very generous. It was also served in a timely intervals. Serving Staff very attentive, excellently guided by Kasia, who was amazing. No long wait for our Drinks either. Just a perfect night! Well done to All the Staff at LC. I called into LC to book and pay our deposit and collet menu. However on arrival found it had closed after lunch service. I Was walking away when the lovely lady Manager opened the door and made the booking from me. Thank you. I Would definitely recommend this restaurant Big well done to the Chefs who not only offered the Christmas menu but also the very extensive Main menu! Food came out beautifully presented and most importantly HOT and very tasty!

Super friendly staff who replied to my email about vegan options within 10 minutes of me making my booking, they were all too happy to accommodate my requests and made for an amazing date night. The interior is well furnished and the food was incredible, definitely found our new go-to dinner spot!

Fantastic service, venue and food. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Excellent dishes and very good service

Lovely atmosphere with good friends and super service. Great bottle of red wine with Avocado Primavera (avacado with prawn cocktail) followed by Lamb Shank. Full to brim with coffee to finish. On a hungry day I would have also gone for Tiramisu with a shot of Amaretto.

Beautiful restaurant with lovely lunch menu for good value. Pizza was delicious, Tiramisu as well. Happy that we found this place for our family lunch.

We kept the place open way over the closing time. Beautiful food and service

Not great staff friendly but food burnt mentioned it to staff but didn,t reply place is nice inside but left disappointed and there are much better places to eat out in Malmesbury.

Lovely setting, excellent service, great value and wonderful food. Perfect.

Lovely staff, awesome ambience, and very tasty food, served promptly

Had lunch here with friends. Great set menu and portions are large. The building is very old c15c? Friendly staff. Recommended place to eat in Malmesbury.

currently writing this sat waiting for desert on a Tuesday evening. Everything about this place is perfect, the staff were the perfect level of friendly and welcoming without pushing it too much. The food is priced perfectly, not necessarily ‘cheap’, but nonetheless a bargain! much cheaper than the quality of the food and size of the portions deserved. Quite honestly the best food I’ve had made better with the atmosphere which was both, beautiful and relaxing. some great music to go with the design of the place. Could not ask for more, we will 100% be back tomorrow at lunch! Thanks for the perfect meal.

Fab evening. In Malmesbury for 4 nights and spent 2 at La Campagna. Lovely food, great wine and fab service. Ruth hosted us on both occasions and made us feel special and remembered - thank you.

Always good to be there.nice place to have a drink or food

Excellent restaurant with pleasant service!

Having a brilliant holiday in the area and have eaten here twice. Excellent Italian restaurant with really good food and top notch friendly service. I can highly recommend eating here.

A lovely meal with very friendly staff, couldn't do more for us and we're happy to chat, very personable.
