The Three Crowns in Wiltshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We popped in for refreshments and a quick lunch after visiting the clematis nursery. Had a great veggie burger with the crispiest French fries. Very good value

Great people helped me out when I got stranded there long story thanks to landlady and landlord and especially paul from next door who helped me out.

Excellent food and superb food. We hadn't been for a long time and grabbed the chance to go on our way back to Swindon. It was difficult to choose from the extensive menu and specials board but ended up with the beer battered cod and triple cooked chips. 10/10. We also had the pleasure of Sue's company at the end of our meal. What a treat.

What a super Sunday lunch. The roast beef was excellent and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. The only slight issue we had was the heat in the conservatory. The sun was streaming in but there was no shade.

Drink was lovely ,,, pint of beer well served Pinot Grigio spritz one of the best ever BUT food left a lot to be desired… duck breast tough as old boots… couldn’t cut …. Cavalo Nero it wasn’t… fish and chips below average. Sorry to say because we used to really rate this place.. staff were great though…

Visited on a wet day and Pub was quiet and slightly deserted that is always a worry. The young man on duty was engaging and polite and his service was good. We were looking for sandwich which was advertised on the online menu but were quickly told sandwiches were not on offer and maybe on next week!!! We went for the two course menu that arrived the meat platter was not a meat platter and the Mac cheese had absolutely no flavour. Main coarses of Fish and my colleagues crepe was very average and I can see why people are not coming in ! Would not recommend very poor overall for quality of food and presentation. And what no Sandwiches !!

Having written a glowing review last year, this is the opposite-I have never been so disappointed in my life! My husband phoned to book Sunday lunch and to check that there was gluten free options on the menu, and Charles apparently said yes, apart from the Yorkshire puddings (he said they'd had problems with their supplier, yeah), most things were ok, so he booked for my daughter's birthday on 4th. We arrived and the service was slow, but my daughter asked for the allergens list to check what she could eat. The lady told us they didn't have gluten free Yorkshires. So, we went prepared and she brought three home made gluten free Yorkshire puddings with her. We ordered and gave the person who took the order to ask the chef to pop them into the oven for three minutes. They were brought back saying he refused because of cross-contamination! I couldn't believe it! We got up and left. This is one place I shall not return to at all! Really so short-sighted, they are the easiest things to make and foolproof!

We went for an evening meal on Saturday night. The pub was welcoming and nice and warm, the food was tasty, the service friendly and all at an affordable price.

Four of us had a takeaway meal: steak & ale pie with chips, veg & gravy. The pies were excellent with a tasty filling in perfectly crisp pastry. The meal was hot and there was a good selection of vegetables (carrot, cabbage, parsnip and tender stem broccoli). All for a reasonable price. We were very impressed.

The Three Crowns Pub in Brinkworth provided an exceptional dining experience. The food was a delightful fusion of flavors, showcasing a menu that caters to diverse tastes. From the starters to the main course, each dish was expertly crafted, offering a culinary journey that exceeded expectations. The service was impeccable, with a friendly and attentive staff ensuring a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The Three Crowns Pub is not just a place to eat; it's an establishment that elevates the dining experience through a perfect blend of delectable cuisine and top-notch service. Highly recommended for a memorable gastronomic outing.

My son and I popped in on a Wednesday lunchtime and were amazed by the quality and reasonable price of the roast dinner (set menu). Quite possibly the best roast chicken ever, superb potatoes and fabulous stuffing , all really well seasoned . Accompanying veg all excellent, plenty of gravy. The lemon posset and treacle pudding also wonderful - and the staff delightful. We cannot recommend this pub highly enough !

Lovely Sunday Lunch today. I had the prawn cocktail followed by roast leg of lamb served with a variety of fresh vegetable my husband had the mushroom soup followed by roast beef also served with fresh vegetables. Lovely friendly service. The telephone number has changed its now 01666 846337.

Great food at this lovely village pub. Under new management, the correct phone number is 01666 846 337….we almost didn’t go thinking it was shut / it isn’t, I’m so glad we stopped by! Superb steak, handcut triple cooked chips, slow cooked lamb, fab veggies, great deserts, all that we ate was very good gastro pub food. Friendly service, good atmosphere. Will be back!!

The roast beef and roast potatoes were excellent, cooked beautifully and hot. The rest of the vegetables were not particularly hot and the dish for 4 people was the same size as the dish of vegetable served to a table of 2. The service was a bit chaotic with several people attending to us resulting in a bit of a wait to place our order as each person serving thought somebody else had taken our order. There was also a long wait between courses. We will eat here again as we want to support our local pub and the new team.

Have been a few times, Sue and her husband are very welcoming; the food we had for lunch was beautiful. In the evenings we have had drinks and snacks and there has always been a great atmosphere. We are hoping they will decide to offer food on Christmas Day and we will eat there!

We spent a Sunday afternoon here and enjoyed the tender roast beef and excellent roast potatoes. Lots of Veg and huge Yorkshire puds! Thoroughly enjoyed and will be back.

Popped in for lunch after an exhausting 3 hour walk. What a surprise! An absolutely fantastic lunch for each of us and the chef and Bar Manager could not have been nicer. Food was amazing. I had moules and more then I could manage (almost). My wife had the avocado, bacon and chicken salad. Glorious

Absolutely delicious Sunday roast! The best Sunday roast we’ve had in this pub bar none! Roasties to die for! Really impressed!

Wow 👌 beautiful food. The best Sunday roast eaten here for some while. Will certainly return and will reccomend to all I meet. Keep uo the goid work Susan,Giles and team. 👑👑👑

The best Sunday lunch! I’ve lived in the village for 9 years and this was the best Sunday lunch I’ve had. Beef was tender, potatoes and cauliflower cheese to die for.

New management are doing a great job! We’ve had a run of bad management unfortunately so if you’ve visited in the past few years don’t be out off. The food was simple and delicious. Nice specials too. Good sized potions meant we didn’t have room for pud so we’ll have to go back and we will. Really friendly staff and the chef/manager came out to say hello too. Great stuff!!

Went for diner after a day out but no food on a Sunday evening (or most other evenings according to their website). This place used to be packed with people dining every evening. Indeed if you didn’t arrive around opening time you were unlikely to...

Just visited The 3 Crowns Brinkworth for a lunch with family, including grandchild, and had a very good lunch, excellent quality, perfectly cooked and presented.

Jo , myself and our friend had an absolutely fabulous lunch here today, the roast beef lunch was amazing! Staff very friendly and helpful. Well done guys, keep up the great work 😀

Absolutely fantastic! Sunday roast was exquisitely good. We came completely by chance without kids, and enjoyed the food so much! We will definitely come back. Thank you!

Excellent burger and fish and chips tonight at the Three Crowns. Really lovely plate of food, well presented and good value. The pub is very clean and tidy as well. No sticky tables or sauce bottles.

Fish and chip night - FAB-U-LOUS. Food was cooked to perfection and piping hot when served. Wine selection could be better but the food more than made up for it. Thank you to James and all the team for a great meal at such a...

Lunchtime dining on a sunny Friday afternoon was an absolute delight. The stir fry duck was wonderfully cooked to our order [not too pink] and served with a wide range of vegetables. Above all the front of house service was exceptional. After only being reopened...

Had a fabulous meal at the Three Crowns. Great menu, with lots of gluten-free options. Irina is a fantastic host, so friendly and helpful. The fishcakes were delicious and the brownie was gorgeous. Really looking forward to going back again soon.

Lovely food and menu (many gluten free and veggie options) and great service. Ideal for families, friends, couples, celebrations and business lunches/dinners.

Meat was lovely (though only 2 thin strips of crackling) but hardly any vegetables (3 tiny chantenay carrots, few strands of cabbage 3 hard roast potatoes and 2 florets of dried cauliflower cheese (between 2)). 2 large Yorkshires (which my hubby likes). When asked if...

We stopped for food, yesterday evening, after upsetting news from the hospital. As always the food was superb, but we both want to thank Irena for looking after us so well, she always does, but also for making us laugh and smile when we didn’t...

Popped out with my fiancée and 16 month old for an early dinner, we both had a burger. Absolutely spectacular best burger I’ve had in years, atmosphere was fantastic, great service.

Having visited the Three Crowns for food in its heyday of the 90's I was happy to move to the local area 5 years ago and although it wasn't quite as good, it had a great team vibe and the food was pretty good. When...

Thought we would revisit the Three Crowns for my Birthday , certainly wasn't disappointed. There were 16 of us and we were asked to preorder, which was good because all dishes were prepared and delivered swiftly. The quality of the food and service was excellent,...

This pub has redeemed itself and is actually better than it was of previous times.. Food is delicious and the new take away service for fish and chips is amazing! I will find it very hard to find better, I can’t fault it. The service...

We recently visited the Three Crowns for a birthday meal and it was really lovely. We had to preorder and I’ve had many bad experiences with this at other restaurants in the past but everything was pretty much spot on - the only small mistake...

Excellent evening, the chef James needs to be commended for a fantastic menu, huge variety, great quality, service also exceptional. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Well done James and Irena.

Great food and service for a lunch with friends. Lovely setting and decor. Worth a visit to this pub with table and bar service

Under new management. Decor updated. Fantastic food, great service, cosy atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Just had the most amazing lunchtime at The Three Crowns in Brinkworth, Wiltshire. The welcome and atmosphere with it’s beautiful open fires on this cold day made it all the better! The new owners and their fabulous new lunch menu had me salivating and it...

Amazing Food ,lovely decor and the waitress who served us was 5* Would 💯 recommend , can’t wait to return

Our first visit to this place in years and the food was amazing, we all had empty plates . We are guilty of not leaving reviews when things are good but there were 6 of us in total and every single one of us said...

Xmas dinner with friends was excellent. Good good and great service. We had stopped going to this pub long ago as the food wss terrible. A blackboard of dishes so long you cant possibly be cooking fresh or even cooking at all...more likely bought in....

A lovely meal at a lovely pub. Open again with new management, there has been some refurbishment, an exciting new menu and an excellent,selection of beers and drinks. Very good, friendly service despite being fully booked and very busy (in a good way) when we...

This is our local pub and has flitted from landlord to landlord over the past few years. None of them had a clue what they were doing and the few experiences we had were dreadful. Moving on to December 2021-new actual owners who know how...

Chef came out regularly to check we were being served & happy with our food. Attentive staff. I was given a large cafetière of hot water with sliced lemon with cup & saucer as requested (& at no cost) Generous, tasty portions. Mixed 3 meats...

Warm welcome and the chef came out to talk us through the day’s menu options based on the delivery of fresh local ingredients. Food was excellent. Very recently taken into new ownership which would explain poor previous reviews.

On arrival pub was emptie we sat in the garden looked very nice young waitress came to take are order but disappointed us with telling us what was not on the menu as my friend is a vegetarian dident give her many options, we ordered...

We had the misfortune to be here on Fathers Day 20 June. My daughter who is in Royal Wootton Bassett had been here previously and had therefore booked us in for a Fathers Day Sunday Roast. Our suspicions were raised upon arrival, the place was...

Table was booked for Father’s Day. We were told Sunday lunch would be available but wasn’t the case when we arrived. We suspected by the virtually empty car park and only one table occupied when we arrived that it wasn’t going to be great. Several...

£6.40 pint of lime and soda! Half a pint of Diet Coke £3.20. But half a pint of cider £2.20??? Nice place but seems a tad dear

we visited last sun and was very sorry to see how bad it was we had the chicken strips to start with and after 45 min wait they were were good half hour later we had a lamb roast gammon beef and liver only one...

An excellent meal in a really great pub. Tables were well spaced out so felt COVID secure. Starters took a while but when the food arrived it was well worth the wait. Would recommend and will be back to try the Sunday lunch.

We went to the three crowns for a Sunday lunch. Food was extremely disappointing. We always used to go there before COVID and the meals were incredible and lots of veg and options for Sunday roast. Now it’s just a tiny part of the menu...

We went to Three Crowns for a family meal expecting a lovely meal but what a disappointment. Tables and chairs covered in bird poo, the amazing menu of previous years gone and replaced with very average menu, very long wait for the food (even though...

Having been to The Three Crowns many times in the past and enjoyed delicious meals we were all very dissapointed with the new menus on offer now very basic pub grub now, having said that we all ate the food which was edible, the granddaughter...

Visited the Three Crowns earlier today with my husband. We both ordered the seabass but the fish looked so small, it looked like it was from a starter menu. It was also very dry. Didn't enjoy the meal at all and left very hungry. We...

We popped in for lunch at the weekend after house hunting in the area - so excited that this will be our local. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious and good value. We had BLT baguettes with fries and the main menu...

To start with, I must say that the staff here were sweet and tried to be helpful. My husband and I sat outside as we’ve been shielding since March, both of us are NHS and this was our first break since February. It’s been a...

Fantastic service. One of our party is a child with coeliac disease, the staff went out of their way to cater for him. An excellent gluten free meal, no issues with cross contamination, staff were aware that the chips had to be oven cooked not...

Visited between Christmas and New Year with a friend. Food was good as always. Between us we had a couple of items of the specials board and the burger. Followed by the snickers dessert which is always a firm favourite. The ales are always highly regarded whenever we go and the service is good. I’m always pleased they keep a good stock of green tea.We visit every few months and we always enjoy the meal and the service and overall it’s pretty good value for money. As our local pub and just a stones throw from our house it’s good to have access to something which offers a good meal and comfortable evening out without having to venture into town.

We were lucky to get a last minute booking on Valentine's day, especially as it was busy. Originally we were going to have a table in the bar area, luckily we actually had a table in the main restaurant. It's a friendly pub, that serves good quality food. My friend is gluten free, they were attentive and ensured that she had a good choice/was well looked after. We had 3 courses for £24.99, mushrooms on toast for me, grilled chicken and vegetables, followed by cheese and biscuits. Service was friendly and timely, would recommend.

Went for Valentines but we’re disappointed. We haven’t been for years and from the reviews we were hoping it would be good-again. My salmon came out raw which had to be returned. Received another piece but had barely any cray fish with it compared to the first dish. Received more once I mentioned it. The dish was pretty dry and not much taste to it. Some of the vegetables were hard and my poached pear starter was hard. The service was slow at times but the staff was friendly. The food was a let down and we won’t be returning.

Visited for a light lunch before a really nice but muddy country walk around this village. Very friendly service. Deceivingly large dining area. We had ham, egg and chips and soup. All delicious and very generous portions. Amazing piccalilli with the ham. Will definitely be back after our “dry January” to sample a pint of my favourite Timothy Taylor Landlord.

The last time I visited The Three Crowns would have been around 8 to 10 years ago when it was in its Hayday, renowned for being one of the best restaurants in the area. It's fair to say a lot would have changed over the years, not only here but the food scene in general with a lot more choice and quality locally, meaning a trip out this far would be more of a rarity.I came back to have Christmas dinner with my team. Although a number of years on the restaurant still felt family, a traditional bar area and then seating sprawling out into a conservatory area, it felt warm as cosey.As far as the food goes it was a pretty good. The started was modest and simple (salmon ) the main was well cooked, seemed fresh/not over processed and a good size portion, topped off with a Bailey's crème brulé.Staff were friendly and attentive, it was quite quiet and therefore lacked a little of the Christmas cheer, but that could be a good thing having been to some rowdy places before.It's hard to judge a place on a set menu, it didn't have the finesse of days gone by, but it was a solid Christmas meal, as good as I've had when eating out, I'd definitely welcome a return to try something from the normal menu.

We pre booked an hour and a half before our meal and confirmed 10 minutes before arrival, we got in set down with drinks and we didn't get the meal for another 25 mins at which point we had to leave for work

Lovely meal with colleagues on a business trip. You couldn’t get better food in a city centre, and next time I probably need to take my wife instead... Excellent food, service and beer!

Had a great meal, the staff where extremely helpful and couldn’t do enough to help us. The food was a delight as where the drinks. I would highly recommend a visit

Well I have not been back since it was taken over a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised. Good choice of wine. Attentive staff and friendly bartender. We chose steaks which were quite good.

Burnt yet served cold. How? Because the whole pile of slop was put together from a freezer cabinet. The serving staff were pleasant enough and we’re themselves somewhat embarrassed by having to serve up what was produced from the microwave.

The 3 Crowns is your high end price for food but once you've been you don't regret spending every penny. The food is cooked to a very high standard and you pay for quality and not quantity. Depending on the night you attend there are different options aswell as a specials board. For us its a bit of a journey as we live in Swindon but we have never had a bad meal and have organised special occasions to be held there such a birthday meals etc. The staff have always been friendly although you have to walk past the bar to get to the restaurant. This can be filled with locals and can be a bit busy as you walk in. The puddings are amazing and will always leave space for one. It used to be on the taste card which was unbelievable value. They are not anymore but we are hooked so are returning costumers.

In the local area for an overnight stay and the pub was recommended to us. It was well worth the visit, the food was really high quality, the scollops were the nicest I’ve ever had, duck was perfectly cooked, dog friendly too. Food isn’t cheap but you get what you pay for. Highly recommended.

Needed to find a good lunch venue to meet friends ... this was just perfect! Excellent lunch and good service. Even with a busy bar full of a wedding party we still had a quiet table so we could talk and catch up. Top notch fish and chips our Norwegian friends gave 10 out of 10. Duck was exceptional as was the Hake .... thank you very much. An hour and a half drive to meet but it was worth every mile!!

Went for dinner with friends midweek.... very quiet.

I was surprisred that this restaurant was not back to being "rammed". The restaurant took a down turn some years ago but has since climbed back (with new owners) to being better than it was originally. The staff are pleasant and efficient, the wine menu is varied (options to buy some by the glass = small, medium or large) and the food is superb. There were specials in addiiton to the normal menu. My only criticism (& I am perhaps being overly harsh) was that the table top was "sticky" from the anti bacterial spray

Booked for 6 with short notice to the pub. Complex booking with Anaphylaxis issues and other lesser allergic issues. Pub staff took the requirements in their stride with no dramas. Food when served was very good. Scallops, chicken, steaks and pies. Steaks probably the pick of the bunch. Rib eye and fillet very good.

Having never eaten here we decided to book the steak & lobster night with another couple. The pub is deceptively big but comfortable & welcoming as were the staff. We all had both the surf & turf, 3 had fillet and one had cote de boef. All the meat was perfectly cooked and delicious. The lobster was a good size but had been dressed with something that tasted like fennel which spoilt it for me. I would’ve liked a choice or told it was going to be cooked this way as usually they come up plain grilled. I also tried the scallop which was cooked beautifully. Very good fat chips too! We shared some desserts which were also very good. Nice wine too. My only gripe was that our starters of bread & olives came up with the main meal. Would definitely go back and try a Sunday lunch.

Wow, wow wow. Thick slices of succulent pink beef, huge Yorkshire pudding and seven different vegetables. What's not to love?!

If you ever fancy a little drive away from and towns and chain pubs then The Three Crowns is a great choice. Stunning restaurant on the side of the original pub with its own decor. The menu isnt extensive however is very homemade and fresh which is nice to see these days. Nice little touch of all their suppliers named on the front of their menu most of which are Brinkworth based. First on the table was cured trout and scallops, the scallops were cooked perfectly and the additional of pork skin gave that little extra crunch. The steaks were cooked perfectly, full of flavour and the chips were proper triple cooked....need i say more.

The menu needs modernising and to take account of the seasons- no salad dishes for example in August.

We were staying down in Wiltshire for a few days and it was raining really hard so decided to get out of the bad weather and have a meal out. Was recommended this place by our campsite owner and she was not wrong. Food was lovely and really good portions. Children’s food was great. Staff were really polite and friendly - couldn’t fault them. Would certainly eat there again.

Dined out with our friends. On the whole the food was good. However, I do think it’s a tad expensive as the portions are small. Dauphinois wasn’t the best but the triple cooked chips were lovely. Service was ok, although could have been better, the specials board wasn’t pointed out to us and we didn’t see it as it wasn’t directly in our line of sight, so we missed the opportunity to choose from that.

We visited the three crowns with a group of friends

Visited with a couple of friends and all of us had the steak and ale pie (based on past experience of great pies at the Three Crowns) and I have to say we weren’t disappointed. Very moist and tasty with excellent chips and nice veg. Service was friendly if a little scatty at times. Throughly recommenced!

Went for a family meal tonight and left in tears!

Haven’t been here for a very long time so when old friends suggested we meet here for lunch I was looking forward to returning. The 3 Crowns didn’t disappoint. An enjoyable long lunch taken outside in the sunshine on the patio.

We arrived on a Friday evening to find the bar and restaurant full and buzzing - a really good way to start the night! Things only got better with the food which was beautifully presented and really tasty. We were glad to see that the Makutu Sauvignon Blanc is still on the wine list too! We feel very fortunate to have a pub which serves such good food in our village. We will be back again very soon!

Moved into Brinkworth in October 18 and have been a regular visitor to the pub. The food is excellent, always a large selection to choose from, but most important it’s always of the highest standard. The staff are very friendly to both humans and dogs, and will always go out of their way to make you feel welcome.

Visited on a Sat night with short notice, but plenty of tables available. Warm greeting from the staff on arrival and offered drinks before being shown to our table. Service was quick and friendly, and the food was excellent. Quantity wasn't huge, but we left the table 'comfortable' Possibly a little pricey, but very good quality.

Overall the food was good, it should be at that price. The poor part was the service, nearly 30 minutes to be able to order food. Another 25 min to get a prawn cocktail starter, another 25 min to get your main meal. We booked a table for 15.00 hrs, got there 5 min early and did not leave till after 16.30hrs. We will not be rushing back unless we see reviews that shows improvement on service.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch, plenty of veg, including a separate dish of cauliflower cheese. you won't go home hungry

Haven’t been to the Three Crowns for a few years. The Pub has changed hands since the last time we went. Had a steak n ale pie. It was lovely. Descent beer, the house red was very drinkable. Really please we went to try it out. Will definitely be going back.

Service if I’m being honest was shocking , we were sat down for 25minutes and no one had come over to us so I had to ask a waitress her response was “ I’ll send someone over”. About 10 minutes later I asked her again as STILL no one had come to our table.. Finally we got served and ordered our starters and mains. The food was good however the steaks were brought out cooked incorrectly and some had to be taken back, meaning some people were eating before others. We ordered the cabbage and bacon which was unimpressive to say the least, the cabbage looked anaemic so I wouldn’t recommend that. Overall, once the steaks came out correctly the food was good but it was just ruined by the poor service , I understand having an expensive menu however when I’m paying £26 for a steak I expect it to be cooked correctly at the very least. If I had to rate this on the food itself I would’ve given it a 4 but with taking into consideration everything else I really don’t think this pub deserves it... MORAL OF THE STORY: if your to busy to squeeze in a table of 4 just say NO instead of leaving customers waiting , dissatisfied and making silly mistakes.

Lovely setting, main courses were all good although roast potatoes were dry and we did not receive cauliflower cheese as detailed on menu. Deserts were expensive and strawberry pavlova dish only had some sprinkles of pavlova on one scoop of ice cream, certainly not worth £6.25. Waiting staff were unsure what was on the menu too, so needs some improvement.
