The Royal Oak in Wiltshire

Great band on last night and awesome food outside! Busy and friendly staff. Great night had! Good selection of beers with large open fires.

Food was delicious and the manager made our evening! Kerrie (sorry if it’s spelt wrong) was brilliant. She was funny, hospitable and nothing was too much trouble. We will absolutely be back! 💖

My wife and I arrived a little late for lunch - our son and son-in-law and Billy the dog were already there. For a busy Sunday service our host, Inez, was relaxed and unruffled by the delay. The service and food was superb, we felt welcome and really enjoyed ourselves. The whole team (mainly family) seemed to really enjoy themselves and were so friendly you felt that you had been invited into the family home !

A fantastic Sunday roast after a beautiful dog walk. The food was delicious and generous in portion size. The staff are brilliant, so welcoming, attentive and friendly. Inez is a natural host and we can’t wait to go back!! Highly recommended.

A lovely gentle welcome greeted us as we walked in wet and bedraggled from a walk in the hills above. The pub is airy, clean and spacious and we found a varied menu that would suit all tastes, traditional or other. We chose the Senegambia Yasseh sea bass! Fabulous for a warming meal on a fresh autumn day! We will go again!

A great evening shared by a group of 12 friends. The staff could not have been more accommodating and the choice and quality of the food was excellent. Well kept real ales made for a perfect evening

We had a Sunday lunch with many friends and the service was exceptional. The landlady and staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The meals were really lovely and had their own twist to a traditional Sunday lunch. Would definitely go again.

The owner Inez and staff were first class when you walk in a warm welcome great choice of guest ales and the regular beers. I had the vegetarian bake and it was the best meal I have had in decades and that’s a fact !! Really glad we pulled off the main road to find this little gem. Even had a great craic with some of the locals. Open fires oak beams very charismatic establishment!

Was staying at a local B&B alone for a weekend, and had an evening meal at the The Royal Oak. I felt very welcome, and made to feel very comfortable. The food was excellent, and the staff very friendly. Would not hesitate to return.

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 Great 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.

Lovely staff, great food, fab welcome. Found it by accident and so glad we did. Will definitely go back. Happy days

We were staying in Stoford and came across the Royal Oak whilst out walking. A fabulous welcome from Inez - a breath of fresh air! The food was delicious, the best curry I've tasted in many a year., the service was friendly and cheerful (thank you Inez and Kim) , the chef (JohnJohn) was fabulous. We joined in on a quiz night, which was also great fun. A fabulous find which saved our stay in the area. Thank you Inez, Kim and John John

Very warm friendly welcome from landlady. Good food. Lovely peaceful location. Good beer.It was great place for us to stop at the end of a long journey

I booked a table for a family lunch today, to celebrate the Diamond Wedding Anniversary for my husband and I. We were welcomed by the Landlady/owner Inez, a delightful lady with a wonderfully warm and friendly personality. The carvery lunch was impressive with a colourful and well prepared choice of vegetables and excellent meat joints - our beef was succulent and tender. My daughter-in-law enjoyed the Cashew nut roast with cranberry sauce. We didn't have appetite enough for the tempting sounding Sticky toffee pudding or Apple pie, but enjoyed the choice of nicely served ice ice creams to complete our meal. It was lovely to relax with our sons and daughters-in-law over an excellent lunch in a quirky and welcoming village pub.

This family run pub is a gorgeous, cute pub in a great location. A great atmosphere and the most delicious food! We had the burger, and fish tacos which were so tasty and great value! The burger was incredible as the meat was really good quality. Then we had sticky toffee pudding to end, and this was AMAZING! Couldn't recommend this pub enough! great service, staff and such a nice place to be :)

Highly recommend this pub, delicious food, and very friendly and welcoming. We arrived early evening, and had an absolutely gorgeous supper, one of the best pub meals we've had in a long time. We will be definitely returning!

A perfect spot for a Bank Holiday lunch- a very warm welcome and great menu choices. We arrived after the main lunch rush and while several items were sold out there was still plenty to choose from The turkey curry was excellent. We will definitely...

We had Sunday lunch today with friends and really enjoyed the food and lovely service from suprr friendly staff. Would definitely recommend for a relaxed lunch.

Absolutely lovely! Fantastic service, super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Beautiful setting, delicious food. The vegetable bake was the best meal I’ve eaten for a long time-an excellent chef!! Family friendly too. Thank you all- we’ll be back!

Great place for a cup of tea after a walk. Staff very friendly and helpful. good parking and outdoor tables for a covid-safe stop.

A truly wonderful carvery for Sunday lunch. Choice of 5 meats and wide choice of veg, the number of diners ensures that the veg is on constant turnover. Does not stint on quality or quantity. Good choice & range of real ale. All that plus...

We stumbled across this place on the way back to Portsmouth from Bath, and what a find it was. We parked up and went in to get a table, luckily there was one available! The staff behind the bar were so helpful and friendly. We...

Staff very helpful, lovely surroundings, good choice of meats and vegetables, portions were plentiful. I know its a difficult thing to please everyone but I felt the veg was over cooked and several options were in cheese sauces where plain would have been more enjoyable.

We had booked a table some 6 wks prior to attending with friends. We arrived at 11.50am to find the pub in darkness and seem to understand her lolocked

Half of me says why on earth write a good review...keep it to yourself you fool. Nice friendly pub with a country feel. Not stupidly busy. Mix of locals out for Sunday lunch, regulars , and others like us meeting up. No music, quieter type of clientele, which meant you could actually hear yourself speak. Friendly and welcoming staff. Rubbish cabaret though.

We both indulged in a steak and ale suet pudding, the first we had allowed ourselves for years. We were not disappointed as the dish was filling and delicious and we both considered the calories well spent! As everything is cooked to order, food service is not swift but we were hosted and entertained by the lovely Inez and did not mind waiting.

Went here for a birthday lunch with my parents. The food was lovely and it was great that there were several vegetarian options to choose from. The staff could not have been more friendly and made us feel very welcome.

Love it here food amazing as always. Sunday roast is all home made. Everyone is so welcoming. Well worth a visit. See you soon Karen and carol

We stayed in the village and visited the pub on the Sunday. We ordered to late for the carvery but the food was still plated up warm and brought over with plenty of gravy including vegetarian gravy for the nut roast.

Had a great Sunday Carvery. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. - The traditional roast dinner was lovely. The lamb was beautifully tender, excellent roast potatoes, and a good selection of vegetables. The log fire in the bar area added to the atmosphere - the place isn't fancy, just serves good food in pleasant comfortable surroundings. We will definitely visit again.

Excellent food with generous helping. Felt wine was expensive. Friendly staff with pleasant bar area. Adequote car parking and outdoor seating.

We were travelling home from a Funeral this evening when we decided that a pub dinner was in order...stopping to search for local pubs, we found this absolute gem 3 minutes from where we had stopped!

A beautiful pub in a lovely country village. The Sunday carvery is spot on! The beef was so tender and the Yorkshire puddings amazing! The welcome we received was wonderful too, definitely going back!!

We visited with friends.Having placed our orders it all arrived well presented and hot, the waitress was friendly and polite. We will be visiting again when we are in the area.

Having visited the area house hunting we trundled our way along the country lanes nestling between the railway and the river Wylye avoiding the main 'drag' looking for somewhere to eat. The Royal Oak practically leapt out in front of the car with its hands in the air screaming 'here I am'! It worked, we pulled over. Barely through the door and we were being wlecomed like old friends and immediately felt at home. Great service with top food to follow, what's not to like. A real family owned, traditionally run pub, this was a delightful find. And their menu twists & turns like a twisty, turny thing; they do faggots for goodness sake, nobody does faggots, with several African curries thrown in for good measure!

The pub was recommended at our campsite.

Popped into the Royal Oak on our way back from Devon to grab a snack. There was a large party of people due in, but the positive young lady in the bar said that she would make a couple of sandwiches for us. The sandwiches were half baguettes, but were not overly crusty like some, which can be difficult to eat. These were very tasty too. There was a BLT and a Crayfish sandwich served with chunky chips, which came to £17.90, perhaps a little expensive for some, but the quality was very good. A 250ml Pinot was £7.50, a 175ml Shiraz was £6.15 and a bottle of non alcoholic beer was £4.25. The overall bill was £38.45.

Really charming pub, in a beautiful little village. Large portions of good food with some really interesting options to choose from.

Pros: nice food, good range of ales, traditional pub, beautiful surroundings

We were looking for somewhere for Sunday lunch and saw some good reviews for the carvery so we decided to give it a try. I was very impressed by the food, the carvery was really nice and fresh with a great selection of meats. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and I can't wait to go back again!

Met here with friends, great choice of food and drinks, excellent friendly service. Great food. Excellent drinks. Definitely eat here again.

Another visit to the Royal Oak and , yet again, the food and welcome were very good. Take the landlords recommendation for gin and food .... he knows his stuff ! They were also happy to accommodate us taking away portions of the excellent African curry to share with friends not able to join us. Desserts lived up to the main course and we all left as satisfied customers planning our next visit.

We visited on a quiet Friday. The welcome was warm, the service relaxed and pleasant, the food good quality and value but not cheap. One of the chefs is from The Gambia, so we both chose African main courses. The chicken yasseh was a slightly sour dry curry. There’s a fish variant if you prefer. The African (beef) curry was hot without being overwhelming. Both were delicious and very filling. The menu is quite wide with traditional pub fare as well as other less usual dishes; also sandwiches at least at lunch time. Puds will have to wait for our next visit, which I hope will be soon.

Been meaning to go for a long time as I had met the owners daughter through my job. Went for a Sunday carvery, amazing , great atmosphere, lovely food piping hot and friendly service. Very reasonable price. Definitely worth a visit and I’ll be back very soon thank you. Karen and carol.

Had a great time here for dinner. Hospitality was great and the staff were amazing going above and beyond. The food was great, deluxe burgers are huge.

My family visited including 5 Grandchildren expecting to be able to sit in the garden areas, the first garden in the front had long grass,this was the first place we found dog excrement luckily in time, that the children hadnt stood or fallen in it , we then moved to the back garden area which was next to the car park and had a fence surely this would be ok !! but no right next to a table was the next pile of excrement,so we then tried another area to the back of the car park which im afraid to say was littered all along the grass with several piles of excrement, we then noticed two elderly dogs wandering about which obviously belonged to the landlord,i then informed bar staff of the situation which was not acted on,admittedly they were busy. we then had to corrall the children in the car park, if family hadnt had travelled so far we would have left immediately but had ordered drinks which were hastily drank x

A truly wonderful discovery. Food was absolutely lovely and the menu spoils you for choice, with a great variety of classic pub dishes as well as some more off beat choices. The portion sizes are more than generous.

Must admit it was nice to be greeted by a smiling face, one I had missed on a previous visit, the service from Amybeth was excellent and the tasty food was quickly delivered. I have to say nothing was too much trouble for this bubbly girl, who made our visit enjoyable.

This was our first time in here but we wanted to come back with friends. We have eaten here twice before both times the land loads hospitality was very good helping with choosing from the very good list of 6 traditional beers and wines for the girls. The choice of food was also good and homemade in the pub by his chief John John. We’re now looking forward to the next visit maybe for a Sunday carvery on June the 16th .

Reserved a table for 7pm. Arrived at 6:45pm. Still waiting for our meal at 8pm. Asked the waiter how much longer our meal would be, he never returned with an answer. Paid he bar bill and left. Good job we didn't order a starter just the main meal, might still have been there at midnight.

We have eaten at this pub twice in the past month: a fantastic Sunday roast, beautifully cooked meats, superbly presented vegetables with lots of extra touches which add flavour and interest. And another lunch from the a la carte menu; I had the red snapper and my wife had a goats cheese salad. The homemade apple pie was sublime and the chocolate brownie heavenly. On both occasions we came away feeling very happy. This is a family run pub and the hosts are all lovely.

We visited the pub as we stayed nearby and enjoyed everything - the nice service, the selection of beers and ales as well as the delicious food. We went for the obvious fish and chips which was really great and a very generous portion. Staff as well as the owner were amazing, we felt right at home there, the whole evening. Thank you - will definitely come back.

Stopped by because of the great hunger on our way to next destination just by small advert on a bigeer road. We found a lovely small village and a great pub and its friendly master. And when the food was also spot on, the dinner in Royal Oak klimbed on the first place in our English vacation dinner experiences.

I came here on Saturday lunchtime with my mum as we always do when we are visiting Salisbury. Friendly staff who always recognise you. We had the ciabatta sandwiches with bacon, lettuce and tomatoe and they were delicious. Would recommend. There are tables outside on the grass verge and tables at the moment. A few locals came here but otherwise was quiet. Definately worth a visit though.

Hicimos una selección ecléctica del menú bien variado, hamburguesas Mega Double Stack, Fagots y un curry africano. El chef nos enorgulleció y todos los platos servidos eran una delicia. Bien preparado y presentado, lleno de sabor y cada plato fue terminado con deleite. Después de un intervalo adecuado, cedimos a la tentación y probamos el postre. Una vez más, un éxito en general con el helado de higo y miel que merece una mención especial. Todos fueron muy amables y serviciales, y ayudaron a que la visita sea tanto para recordar como para repetir tan pronto como sea posible. Gracias Royal Oak

Dos cálidas bienvenidas de las mujeres que estaban detrás del bar empezaron las cosas realmente bien. Tuvimos el domingo asado (una carne y una tuerca asada) con una gran variedad de verduras. Nos sentamos a la leña con un buen vaso de vino y una cerveza y quedamos impresionados. Definitivamente volvería de nuevo. Visita muy agradable.

Elija el Royal Oak en Great Wishford ya que está a medio camino de reunirse con nuestros amigos. Mi principal problema es el muy engañoso sitio web que ofrece un extenso menú de opciones de comida y luego dice que ofrecen un asado un domingo. Al conducir aproximadamente una hora para llegar hasta aquí, el menú está muy limitado en un domingo que el sitio web no indica, principalmente asados, lo cual está bien si le apetece un asado, pero si, como yo, está libre de diarios y no le apetece un asado. estás pesado Tres de nosotros tuvimos el almuerzo asado de carnes asadas, el pub no estaba lleno, pero la cola para la comida era larga y nos tomó un tiempo con solo un tipo de servicio (también solo alrededor de 3 cosas en el menú de postres). El pub en sí necesita ayuda, unos cuantos ajustes aquí y allá marcarían una gran diferencia: bloquear las puertas de los baños de las damas y lavarse las manos de forma decente, deshacerse de la cesta de la olla, etc. Las chicas se darán cuenta de estas cosas. Traslado de la máquina de frutas desde el comedor al bar principal. . . . suena como que estoy gimiendo, no soy un momento agradable con nuestros amigos, pero hay cosas en mi opinión que se podrían hacer para que este pub sea mucho mejor, comience por ajustar el sitio web tal vez. ¿Volveríamos? ? . . . . . Probablemente si el menú completo estuviera disponible un domingo.

What a top spot. Cozy pub (open fires) run by a great family in a beautiful village, great beer selection and what a Sunday lunch. No portion control here......prepare to loosen your belts. Highly recommended.

Fuimos a cenar después de la recomendación de nuestro anfitrión. Cuando entramos en el pub estaba vacío no había nadie del personal. Después de un momento, aparece una señora muy agradable. Ella nos recomendó bebidas (muy buenas sidras) y elegimos la comida. Esperamos alrededor de 15 minutos para nuestra comida. Y aquí es donde comienza la decepción masiva: pedimos un arroz picante (no digo el nombre) y una hamburguesa.

I spent 2 evenings in the pub as I was staying nearby. Without a doubt I can say that this was one of the best pubs I've been to. The owners treat the customers as friends; there's a warm welcome, an excellent range of ales and really good food. I really wish them success with this venture as it's clear their long experience means they know exactly what locals and travellers want. Thank you for your hospitality. Michael (Iraq)

Possibly the loveliest owners of a uk pub you will ever meet. Fantastic food made from the heart. try the sticky toffee cheesecake all homemade. if you are visiting Stonehenge or the area of salisbury you must come here for food more food and great homely loving atmosphere. I would highly recommend and will be back very soon. this is by far my favourite pub in england! see you soon guys x

We visited here for lunch today, and it was absolutely superb. I had an African/Caribbean curry that was the equal of anything I have eaten even in the region, while my wife's mixed grill was generous, well-varied and flavourful. A good selection of ales and friendly staff mean we will definitely pass this way again!

We stopped by this gorgeous pub after a walk at nearby Grovely Woods. Had an excellent Sunday roast including a lovely nut roast as I’m vegetarian. Friendly staff and great food.

The title says it all. This was a repeat visit and there is a reason we keep going back. It has to do with the quality of food, the fantastic range of beers (8 of them), and the charming welcoming staff.

We were met with an extremely warm welcome from the landlady. We were shown to our table but invited to the bar for drinks first. They have a fairly extensive selection of gin and a well stocked bar for everything else.

Went on a Saturday lunch time for a catch up with friends and some food. Well we weren’t disappointed. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We were all very happy with our meal in fact the best we have had in a long time Well done to you all Will definitely go back again.

We had a lovely dinner at this great pub. Plenty of food and drink on offer and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Much recommended.

Excellent carvery lunch we visited with family and were pleased with the choice of meats on offer and several different vegetables available. Something for everyone. Only the men managed dessert. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. We will return next time we are in the area.

Four of us dropped in at 6pm on Friday. We had a nice chat with the landlord, and a very good meal. The place is just a very short distance from the A36, and much quieter than the places directly on the road. Recommended.

The Royal Oak es un encantador pub Country, entró para ver una chimenea y acogió al amable personal que explicó cómo funciona el sistema de carnes y mostró nuestro grupo de cuatro a la mesa. La comida era estupenda y justo lo que necesitábamos una buena comida en un frío día de octubre. El único problema fue el propietario que se acercó a nuestra mesa tratando de empujar los desiertos después de que el personal ya había hecho un gran trabajo, siguió con un nivel de bromas que dejó a todos sintiéndose un poco incómodos, luego se fue. para hablar sobre futuros eventos en el pub que ya estaban claramente anunciados en el pub preguntándonos si nos interesaría. También creo que había demasiadas cervezas de barril para ser manejables ya que mi cerveza era plana.

We recently visited the Royal Oak with friends for Sunday lunch. Food, service and surroundings excellent. Very clean and friendly service. My 7 year old daughter described it as ‘the best pork ever!!’

Si miras mi perfil, verás que solo doy buenas críticas a menos que mi experiencia haya sido influenciada por una experiencia absolutamente terrible o peligrosa. Antes de ignorar esta revisión como otra buena evaluación, tenga en cuenta que quiero superar la puntuación máxima permitida por Tripadvisor y esta es la primera vez que quiero hacerlo.

This is really one of the last typical English Pubs and the owner is quite a good chap - always around, it seems and chatting and entertaining his guests.

Nos detuvimos en el Royal Oak de camino a casa para cenar y tuvimos la sorpresa más placentera. Tuve el pollo yassa y mi marido tenía el curry africano y ambos deliciosos. ¡Mi esposo dijo que es el mejor curry que ha comido en un pub! Sabían a comida preparada adecuadamente y con amor. Los anfitriones fueron increíbles, muy acogedores, la dueña incluso me preparó un té de jengibre porque estoy lleno de frío. Sentarse junto al fuego con la persona que amas, con una comida deliciosa y en un ambiente agradable es una buena forma de pasar la noche del sábado. Gracias a los mecenas del Royal Oak.

Called in at lunchtime to break up a long cycle ride. Planned to have a snack and a pint.

Leuke en gezellige pub met min of meer traditionele Engelse gerechten. We hebben er gedurende onze vakantie een paar keer lekker gegeten.

I wish this was my local! It is friendly from the moment you walk in and you are made to feel welcome. The food is really great and imaginative too. No matter whether you are a carnivore or, like us, vegetarians, there is a good, varied choice. The beer is well kept and a wide choice - you can even ask for tasters to help decide between the various options. I would definitely go back whenever I am in the area.

Driving through Wiltshire we were closing in on Salisbury at lunch time. We didn’t want to make a stop in the city, so we started to look for a pub in the countryside. After a lot of driving around we found the Royal Oak in Great Wishford. It seemed a bit sleepy, but then again so did Great Wishford. You can’t expect liveliness some miles off the main roads. Food was good, service friendly and nice – we got what we came for!

My family and I were looking for a pub lunch and happened upon The Royal Oak.

We stopped for a late lunch on a road trip with friends. Lovely wee spot, good beer selection and great food. The staff were really genuine, friendly and helpful. Thank you!

Found this place whilst driving home from a weekend in Bournemouth.. and so glad that we did! The welcome is the friendliest I have had in a long time, everyone is welcomed like old friends. The landlord is every bit the definition of what a landlord should be. Funny, kind and the perfect host.

What a chance to find this pub this evenig !! cool atmosphere , we came here for the first time and it seems that we were old friends :-) great food and beer.sure we"ll come back if we "ll return to salisbury

Dropped in here on the off-chance they’d still be serving food at 3.30pm on a Saturday, and that they were happy for us to bring our dog in. Indeed they were, on both counts, and we were made to feel very welcome, ordered drinks and the server opened a bill for us. Good selection of lagers and ciders. Kids were invited to explore and there were some games for them to play (connect4, trivial pursuit etc) while we waited for our meals which were cooked to order. The menu was tempting and we eventually chose burgers and a curry. The burgers were pretty much the best we’ve had anywhere, they appeared home made, rich meaty and herby and came with a tasty salad and really great Home made chips. The curry came with poppadom and chutney and was equally delicious. This is a lovely country pub where everyone was helpful and welcoming, we would definitely return.

Made to feel very welcome, food was ample, we had the Sunday carvery. Some veg was a little hard for our taste but overall not bad. Just the flies were abundant and annoying, my husband did mention this to the waitress who just laughed. I don't think we will return although we live quite close

Called in at the Royal Oak for lunch, greeted by lovely helpful staff. Nice atmosphere and décor is great. We really enjoyed the fish, chips and peas tasty and well presented. Really enjoyable meal, will call in again on our next journey.

Had lunch with a group of about 8 people. Booked in advance - including chosing our food. Arrived when we said we would. The food was not brought to us until 40 after our booking time.

We returned for a family lunch after a couple of recent successful visits. The landlord and landlady are very friendly and accommodating. Our Mum who is almost 90 absolutely loves this place as they make a fuss about her and tailor the experience to her requirements. We all had different dishes and everything was superb. My African chicken dish recommended by the landlord was delightful and different. So nice to see the staples done well ( fish and chips for instance ) , traditional local dishes done as specials (my husband loved his faggots and mash which was on offer ) and something different to the norm. The food was so good we all went for puddings despite the generous main course sizes and these lived up to the mains. Again they were accommodating with special requirements. If you want great friendly service with a varied menu and a welcoming atmosphere We can’t recommend this pub highly enough.

Amazing in every way food service management wonderful place recommend everything perfect closes at 8pm but oh wow

Well worth turning off the main road to have a tasty meal served by friendly staff in a characterful local pub.

The Royal Oak Langford Rd, Great Wishford, Salisbury SP2 0PD Pub Place details Trevor Steward ★★★★★ 6 days ago Great atmosphere and even better food Specials board has old favourites and interesting additions. Well worth the diversion off the main road. Delightful setting

The Royal Oak pub is in the beautiful village of Great Wishford, very near to Grovely Wood. We live near Salisbury and fancied a walk (and a little bit of jogging to keep fit!) in the quiet countryside that we are lucky enough to have surrounding our town.
