The Royal Oak in Wiltshire

Stopped off while cycling, lovely and cozy and warm welcome, tried the local Rude Giant large, very nice indeed

New ownership by a brewery! The beer is perfect and there are 2 new pool tables and dartboards. Recommend.

This is a nice place to stop for a drink after a walk up to the woods;there's a good selection of local ales alongside the usual lagers etc. There is a bar food menu which looks interesting.

We went there after we had been in Romsey. We came exactly when they opened at lunch time. It was ok, nothing extraordinary. Limited choice for gf and df. But the ladies there ok.

Lovely pub, can’t fault the service. Pie was amazing! Live music a bonus, will definitely be back

So wonderful to see the village pub open and serving amazing food. The tapas and main menu is particularly fabulous, and the carvery caters for the greedy amongst us (including myself). The landlady, Kerry, is exceptionally welcoming, and if you want a dog fix they're everywhere!

Excellent food and good service. Great underrated little country pub

Really lovely roast dinner and friendly service. Would highly recommend

A lovely traditional pub with a warm welcome, not only from the log fire. Excellent selection of ales and varied menu, all served with smile. Arrive as a customer, leave as a friend.

Great service, friendly and excellent food!

Gorgeous family run pub, amazing atmosphere and beautiful food 😍

Excellent roast, great service too

What an absolute gem of a place! Our party was met by a warm and very natural feeling welcome, reflective of the beautiful surrounding village. Thank you for making us all feel like celebrities at a particularly difficult time. The food was delicious. I tried the whitebait starter and the fish and chips, both of which were excellent. However, I recommend the authentic and delicious African curry. I cannot praise this lovely place and its fantastic host and chef highly enough.

Excellent lunch, good atmosphere and friendly people. 😋

Such a lovely country pub. Food was delicious, surroundings lovely. The most wonderful staff I have ever met. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend visiting.

Lovely venue with excellent food and service. Friendly and efficient staff.

Set in a lovely location with helpful and friendly staff. I had the curry which was spicy but delicious.

I give the Royal Oak in Great Wishford (Wishford Magna) in Wiltshire, my highest possible recommendation as it is quite simply everything that is great and lovely about a traditional English pub and also has two open fires, a large restaurant with an excellent chef and a wonderful landlady, who runs the pub with her daughters. It was the inviting appearance of the pub, in its stunning setting, that made us want to go in, but my rating is is catapulted from Geat to EXCELLENT because of the rich, warm welcome we received from the Landlady Inês as we walked in. I felt warmth from this amazing lady before she even spoke, and when she did, her strength of character, warm motherly charm and kindness shone like a star and I resolved there and then to return the next day for a meal with friends. Six of us enjoyed a splendid meal the next evening from the extraordinary “pub grub” menu where every dish has a unique twist to elevate it above normal expectations. We also indulged deeply into the huge selection of gins on offer to make it a real night to remember. It is is not unusual to want to return to a great pub, but it is a rare and wonderful thing to feel such a connection with another human being who you’ve only just met, but I was unable to leave without asking Inêz for a hug. I’ll never forget meeting this incredible woman and will certainly return to the pub when next in Wiltshire. The Royal Oak regularly offer’s live music and Sunday roasts, and we’re told that curries, made by the African chef are served using a recipe that he will not share with anyone.

Wonderful food, great service, lovely people, friendly, and great puddings....

Good food. Good and friendly service.

If the heating in this pub ever failed I am sure that very few people, if any would notice because the warmth/friendliness exuded here by the staff/management would surely compensate for any shortfall. The visit came by a recommendation from the owner of a nearby B&B that I was staying in overnight, and I am very pleased I made the 7' drive up the road for what was a very enjoyable hour or so. Fascinated by one particular offering on the menu, and knowing that I would probably not get the chance to sample it again anywhere else, I knew I had to go for it - freshly made, and very enjoyable - Senegambian Sea Bass Yasseh, on a bed of Basmati rice. So when the congestion on the A303 becomes too much to bear, this place should not be considered too far out of the way as a diversionary route - trust me! I will certainly be returning again. Thank you.

Beautiful pub in a beautiful village! Fast and friendly service, great food with some unusual African dishes on the menu thanks to the landlady's heritage. Perfect spot for an evening meal after a walk along the beautiful wooded ridge above the village. Highly recommended.

We went there recently for Sunday lunch, the food was great, the staff was super friendly and we will definitely be back again. What a lovely pub in a picturesque little village.

Great food and friendly staff. Very clean, well worth a visit.

Excellent great hosts lovely food

Great food, lovely owner and staff. Will be back 👍🙂

Found this hidden gem while driving back from a day out. My wife and I had one of the best Sunday roasts of our lives. The food was amazing, but the hospitality shown by the owner and her family was even better. Will definitely come back again.

What a little gem with a lovely atmosphere. We dined here today. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by the ladies on duty, shown to our table and being served by a very happy attentive young lady. 3 different Sunday roast meats to choose from with a vegetarian choice. Being a group of 4 we all enjoyed our meals, every mouthful a delight, a great choice of vegetables cooked to perfection. Thank you.

We had a lovely meal. Sat outside with friends and our puppy. Staff all really helpful and friendly.

Great Sunday roast. Really warm welcome from the staff.

Truly fantastic pub, the owners and truly amazing And the food.....well you will not be disappointed Well worth a visit

Very friendly, staff masked and indoor seating safely distanced. Our meal was delicious.

Short visit today but made an ideal end to our group walk.

The perfect host and with probably the only suet stake and ale pudding anywhere, cooked to perfection what a treat

The Sunday roast was the best we have had in a long time. Great service very attentive.

Fantastic pub, the staff were really lovely and the food is great. Definitely coming back for more soon!

Wonderful warm welcome on a rainy afternoon after a very wet walk. Great hot chocolate too. The menu looks really nice and I hear the carvery on a Sunday is awesome. We will definitely be back to try it.

Amazing food and excellent staff.... Well done ..

Looks nice and friendly staff. Unfortunately ran out of fish and chips and pie, so we ended up not eating there

Amazing pub with some of the nicest and friendliest staff I have experienced in a while, food is glorious full of flavour and very obvious that lots of care is put into its creation, would give 6 stars if I could, lovely scenery and area would recommend to everybody and is definitely worth a visit.

A very welcoming pub in a lovely quiet village. It has lots of outdoor tables and the food is very good.

Very good service, friendly and welcoming despite the fact we were out on our bikes and soaking wet.

Cracking pub, great for a roast and very reasonably priced. Super friendly and welcoming staff. 100% worth a trip to. A*

Literally the best roasting had out for years. Delicious selection of meats, yummy roasted potatoes and parsnips. Great choice of fresh vegetables....and even down to the gravy. Plus....the hosts were friendly and can't do enough. Will definatly be back...Sorry no pics as got stuck straight in!! Very popular place.

Wonderful home made food even the chips !! Wonderful service! Had 2 friends with special dietary requirements and waitress was so good in checking with chef who tweaked each dish where nescessary even the desserts and even providing one with a fruit salad definately recimmend !!

Awesome place, cosy, warm place

Friendly pub in Great Wishford, I was hoping for a roaring fire but the grate was empty. Home made soup and bread went down well. Great staff. Plenty of parking space.

The vegan home cooked onion and beetroot tart and vegetarian nut roast was delicious. All the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back.

Delicious food,(carvery 😋). Very friendly & homely atmosphere.

Fantastic food. Staff wonderful.

Went here for a relaxed birthday dinner. Very friendly, delicious pub food. Highly recommended.

Staff amazing food delicious...huge portions. Ambiance lovely

Fantastic owners, outstanding food and a huge range of drinks - the best pub in the Salisbury area

Very quiet and the waitress had her coat on when we got in there not as homely as i remember it ,can't comment on the food as we didn't stay maybe its just always quite on a wet rainy Saturday.

Excellent food, great atmosphere traditional family pub.

Food excellent landlady made you feel very welcome.

Amazing pub. Really tasty homemade food with flavour! Friendly relaxed service, perfect for us. Please come to Holt!

Fantastic curry, try the 3 African dishes on the menu, you won't be disappointed. Stopped by on a whim and very impressed

Lovely couple currently running this pub, friendly and full of enthusiasm. I enjoyed an excellent 2 course mid-week lunch with friends recently and couldn't fault the meal, appetising, hot, scrumptious! Bowls of fried skin-on chips added to the table for no extra charge, so that was my reasonably healthy main course choice scuppered! Will look forward to revisiting.

Excellent pub, really friendly staff, and a lovely atmosphere to the venue.

Quiet country pub in nice location.

Over price used the same knife to cut the meat had port a lot of fat. Beer was good

We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere a lot!!

Great Pub , great food, great staff!

Fantastic atmosphere of a traditional English pub. The schnitzel is one of the best I've had

Food brilliant and lovely hosts

Food is really nice, and plenty of it. Staff are very nice and friendly. Our son took us there for my birthday as he is not actually going to be here for my birthday. Lovely treat. Free parking. Very clean place.

Menja boníssim i abundant. Tracte agradable i acollidor.

Consistently great food and friendly service. Exactly what all village pubs should be. Nice work guys.

We searched on Google while at Stonehenge and saw the good reviews it had, and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, the few locals that we met were lovely to us, and Steve was friendly, funny and was just great. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Had two burgers which were excellent but the cheese toppings , which we did not know was extra was a rip-off we only get ripped off once will not be back .

Super Pub, tolles Essen, alles frisch zubereitet (auch wenn es dadurch etwas länger dauert). Wir sind im Urlaub und da haben wir Zeit. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Great carvery with friendly staff in attendance. Would go again.

I ordered chips and gravy, Lovely chunky chips and the gravy was delicious ! Smashing pub ! Ps The Sunday lunches are top notch as well ! Maggie

Staff are friendly and welcoming and food is awsome

Good location, reasonable value, spotlessly clean

Lovely welcome, great food. Toilets need a little TLC

Friendly community run pub. Nice place but the food is quite pricey for small sandwiches.

it was brilliant and so peaceful

This is an amazing place. The food is awesome and plentyful. The staff where very friendly and helpful. Will return.

Hoover out at 1pm, no customers to speak of a part from a trio wanting fish.Cheese sandwich and a black coffee £9! Wish I had gone for a couple of miles.

Fantastic food, fantastic staff. We were made to feel real welcome and nothing was too much.

Nice food and friendly atmosphere

Nice country style pub with log fires, comfy furniture and freshly cooked foods, nice location with nice open space walking areas, friendly & welcoming, thank you Inez & Steve xx

Incredible food, fantastic drink, unforgettable staff! 5 stars.

Great wee pub. Proprietors are top people. Food is fab. Give the fish yasseh a go.

Very welcoming and friendly staff. Enjoyed the food and beer. Thanks

Very nice pub . Super friendly welcome when you walk through the door. We will be back.

Very nice food would recommend this pub to anyone

Good food and service was exceptional

Wonderful Sunday lunch, great beer and very good service. We will definitely visit again soon. 😀

Lovely Sunday carvery, excellent chocolate fudge cake, great real ale and the staff were brilliant - friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend

Great chef and very friendly landlord and landlady. Treat you great even if you don't go in often

Very good food and plenty of it, but not at the very cheap end of pub grub. All very fresh and well cooked. We paid £38 for two tasty, filling meals and two drinks, but there are cheaper options on the menu.

Friendly staff, great selection of beer and a decent sized car park. The food though was amazing! Not cheap but so worth the money you pay! We had a mixed grill and an African curry and both were hearty and very tasty

Lovely warm and friendly welcome. Great service. Delicious food, beer and cider. I thoroughly recommend it. Thank you for a most enjoyable Sunday lunchtime.

Amazing place with amazing food. The owners are so fantastic

Gorgeous, well kept beer. I'd definitely go back for more!

Lovely people vey welcoming, beautiful pub with restaurant. Will be going back for sure 🤗💞

Hidden gem. Excellent menu and food lovely. Very welcoming.
