The Water Meadow in Wiltshire

All the staff in The Water Meadow are always cheerful, friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious and there is a good choice. Our server today was Leo, he is always friendly, charming and helpful. Thank you all very much. 🤩

Enjoyed this place again last week. Good food and service: a local, friendly vibe. A regional staple: Wiltshire quality at its best. Highly recommended.

Great place to eat. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Will go again.

My food was good and I really appreciated the local history from Jamie.

Lovely place, kids love it, dog always welcome and the food is perfect. Cheers guys, Rob

Had meal with parents and all had a great time with great food. Cheers R

This is a modern pub in a modern housing estate. The food is well priced for the quality you get and the staff are friendly.

Lovely food but it was the service that was outstanding - thank you Paula, you were very patient

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Water Meadow in Melksham, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Thank you Joe for the excellent service.

great food and staff fantastic thank you for a lovely mother’s day meal!

Food was nicely prepared, and I loved the chips, the meat was tender and plenty of it. The service was very quick and courteous and couldn't be more helpful

Brilliant The waitress Paula especially nice & very attentive As always as was the food

Watermeadow is a nice pub, food is good for the price and I was happy they do blue light discount under the name Marstons. Paula who was our waiter was very polite and considerate at all times, so I left a small tip because she does very well keeping the customers feeling settled.

This was my first time in the water meadow pub. I was with family members. We all enjoyed our food, the atmosphere was nice and friendly ; and Paula, the staff member providing table service, was polite , efficient and generally very professional. Definitely a place I’d come to again

Good food great service and looked after by Paula our very friendly and helpful waitress

Always so well looked after by the staff at the Watermeadow. We visit most weeks with my elderly parents and receive the best service each and every time. Thanks to Paula and everyone working there,

Paula was great. Top service! 😁

Excellent food, good speedy service and friendly knowledgeable staff.

Service was adequate but the Sunday lunch was dreadful. Hot ish plate but cold tasteless gravy poured over over cooked veggies, solid roast potatoes, so hard you couldn't cut through them (suspect they had been deep fat fried to reheat). The roast beef was very fatty and tough. Yorkshire pudding too big and greasy. Won't be going back there again. Couldn't even blame it on the fact that it was a Sunday lunch time as it wasn't overly busy.

Had a fantastic meal food potions and quality where outstanding and service from both Paula and Ash very attentive and approachable and had a good laugh with them both

Paula was am excellent hostess and saw to our every needs

Friendly staff, good food at reasonable prices, quick service

Great meal and lovely service from Izzy

Lovely evening out with the family, Paula was really helpful and friendly great service!! 😊

Food was surprisingly nice for a quick cheap pop-in. Came for the steak and drink night, meaning well priced. Service from Paula was great, very fast and courteous.

Great time! Our server Treacle was lovely & very attentive. Food was really good & the kids loved theirs!

Our waitress was attentive and friendly

Very nice food,friendly staff and love the fact you can bring your dog.

If you want a Sunday Lunch make sure that you book a table before 14:00hrs. Staff are very good and friendly especially Ashleigh.

Friendly staff, especially Paula, food always good. Dog friendly in most areas. Best to book in advance, especially at weekends, but have been accommodated before without a booking. Can be difficult to park, especially at known busy times i.e. Sunday lunchtime etc, as the carpark also services a few shops.

Fantastic service from Ben as always :)

Very nice pub all round. Parking on site is a bit of a premium, so advise to arrive early/car share. The interior is nicely lit, spacious and comfortable. The service was great, all the waiters and waitresses answered any questions without fuss and we're extremely helpful, well done all! The food... OMG the food is just perfect. The choices are very traditional and definitely cater for just about any age range, from 5 - 85. The desserts are simply divine. Overall, I cannot fault this place, very impressive and will definitely have to go again

Ben was great and we had a lovely time

Paula was very nice. Always happy

The best fish and chips on the planet as always. Swapped chips for fries with no hassle. Staff friendly and service fast.

Steak night £14.25 with a drink good value and tasty

Superb service again and beautifully presented food .A pleasure to go to and eat and relax .

My family and I love how helpful your staff are + we have never been disappointed with your food,looking forward to our 3course mother's Day meal.

Clean and pleasant place. Our waitress, Paula, was polite and friendly. Lovely atmosphere and the food was very tasty 😋 Will definitely go back again! I had the Mac n cheese with pulled pork topping and garlic bread. My friend had the fish and chips.

Thank you for helping us when we lost our dog, great team, great service. Can’t thank you enough

Staff are friendly but limited access due to ordering via an app, reasonable pub grub for reasonable cost

Excellent place for lunchtime treats and family fun. Food well presented and cooked perfectly. Children welcome and play facilities safe and clean

Great food and friendly service from Paula

Warm welcome as soon as we entered. And throughout our stay fantastic staff and great food.

Fantastic atmosphere & service. Food was excellent.

We were served by Paula, she was great, very attentive but didnt bug you every 5 minutes. We weren't waiting long and the food was great.

Great place to go with a family for younger ones there is a outdoor playground area which is fab. Friendly staff and great food make this a treat.

Izzy was excellent and polite helpful server. Sorted issue with meal swiftly. Thanks Ixxy

Always a lovely meal and atmosphere at the Water Meadow. Food was great and service was speedy. Special thanks to our server Paula

Had a meal for Mother’s Day, it was truly amazing. Many thanks to all.

Lovely atmosphere, good service delicious food, will always come back

Brilliant time at the water meadow Mother’s Day meals were brilliant looked brilliant tasted fantastic

Great service and lovely food, my family had a great mother’s day meal. The water meadow never disappoints

Fabulous Sunday roast. Yorkshire puddings were amazing. Quick and friendly service.

Amazing service Extremely friendly Good laugh

Fabulous service as always. Will be back soon

We celebrated my daughter’s 16th birthday at Water Meadow with 30 family members of all ages. From the moment I pre-booked, the staff were incredibly helpful, answering all my questions quickly and making the whole process seamless. On the day, everything ran smoothly, and the team went above and beyond to accommodate us. While the food was decent, it didn’t quite reach a 5-star level. However, the overall experience, service, and atmosphere made it a fantastic celebration. Would definitely recommend for a stress-free event!

Izzy provided a brilliant, speedy service and could see how hard she was working! Great place. However, the cocktails were not as nice as expected.

Everything very excellent and service was perfect, nothing too much trouble. Fabulous. Paula our waitress was top notch ;-)

Great food, fantastic staff. Fantastic meal. Service was excellent, made to feel very welcome . The lovely staff could not have been better. Very attentive, well organised, happy and friendly. Couldn't of wished for more. All my family had a great time and were very happy with the superb food and quality of service.

Both times going this month the Milk jugs have had huge chips and cracks in them. also you have to share one small milk jug between two people so I have to try not taking to much of the milk first.

Lovely food and very nice service. Jarret was excellent.

Thanks to Treacle, joe we had a tremendous time. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us and the food was very tasty. We will definitely return and recommend to our friends. 10/10 for friendly service.special

Okay for a meal, pizza quite disappointing, but you get what you pay for

Jarred was superb, nothing was too much trouble - he is a real asset to the Watermeadow, polite and helpful

Jarret was great and really helpful. Great service

It is a good place to visit, easy access, usually some parking, although this can be an issue. I like the layout and when bringing my grandchildren, there are things to amuse and occupy them. Staff were pleasant and helpful, our server was a lovely young woman. The only problem I had today, and on my previous visit, was that the food tasted great but was pretty much cold! The chips were luke warm and the kebab meat was the same, yet the flatbread was hot(?). Such a shame because it made it rather unpleasant overall. Sort this out and it would have been a 5* review!

Another great meal at the watermeadow, the Manager gave us a great welcome & showed us to our table. Food was great & Paula our waitress did a fantastic job. We used our voucher so saved a bit of money aswell. Thanks Mark & Ali

Jarret was fantastic, so polite, quick service and checked in to make sure everything was well with the food. Great kid and an asset to the company.

Treacle was attentive and helpful. Very good service

Been here a few times! Always a good experience. Food is good. Staff are friendly!

Food came out very quickly. Food was good and everyone enjoyed their meal. Waitress was extremely helpful and checked on us all the way through the evening.

Lovely staff. Taken to table. But when my drink was delivered to my table the waitress slammer my drink down very hard on the table. Didn't even say a word to me and my friends. We waited ages for our food. When the food arrived. My burger was a bit dry and it was burnt. No one came to our table to ask if we were OK or if the food was OK. But they went to every other table and asked them. And both me and my friend had burgers and there was no burger sauce on our plates even though on the menu it says they come with your burger sauce. Please ask your staff not to slam drinks down in front of your customers. I found it very rude.

Great food and amazing service😀

Great food! Food was hot came out quickly staff were very friendly would recommend

Excellent service, speedy service, pleasant staff

Paula was great very friendly and great service! Thank you!

Lovely roast dinner, brilliant service. Will definitely be back again soon

Lovely food, and friendly and efficient staff here. Always an enjoyable experience

Isabel served me on the bar today she had outstanding customer service.

Had a group leaving meal, great food, great waitress and service. Order was delivered very quickly, atmosphere was great and will definitely return , love it there.

Leo was very helpful, food was amazing. Definitely returning

Treacle was very attentive. Great food, friendly staff

Izzy! Thank you so much for making our first date night since having a baby so lovely and enjoyable, you were so kind and happy and made us have a right laugh! Keep that positive happy go lucky energy about you! (The dog forgives you for forgetting to wrap up her steak)! But thank you again, it honestly meant a lot to us and to myself as suffering with postpartum depression that you made us feel so welcomed! ♥️ (my partner said he will also try cheese now next time we visit just to make you happy)! X

We upgraded to cheesy chips with one of our meals & normal chips arrived, this was rectified very quickly by the staff member who couldn't be more apologetic.

Great family pub, and staff always nice and friendly

Regular visitors and always made to feel welcome for us and our dogs! Food always of a good standard, a nice place to relax and enjoy a meal.

This pub has improved greatly .I have moved so that I am now close to it and I often incorporate walking my dog with stopping off here for food or a drink.The thing that has impressed me here is it is never too much trouble to just make me a coffee whilst I take rest with the dog .They do not make you feel guilty that it's just a coffee for one never any attitude which is different to some other places in melksham.Quiet or busy they very welcoming and accommodating.

Lovely dinner meal with family, portion sizes are good too. Paula thank you for taking our order

Lovely service, Paula was very helpful and attentive, good food and we love how dog friendly it is!

Really easy to book on line....great friendly pub....our server Paula was really friendly and helpfull.....our food was really nice.. delivered to our table nice and hot.....really well priced as well.....would deff recommend thus place.

A disappointing visit last Saturday. We always come to the watermeadow for birthday celebrations and sit in the family dining area, we have been doing this for years and have always been happy here and have always received friendly waiter service. We booked a table of 12 and on arrival were informed that we had to order our food on the app, this which was difficult for some of the members of our party so instead I took the order and went up to order, I felt like I was doing someone’s job for them and this wasn’t a relaxing experience. There were no problems with the food, however we were not offered additional drinks throughout our meal either, we didn’t really see anyone during our visit. We were told that they no longer offer table service in the family dining area however when we visited in December we did receive table service and when we booked a large table online we felt we should have been informed that there would be no table service beforehand. Not what we were expecting this time.

great atmosphere, service and staff we're lovely and really accommodating!

Paula was very polite, always asking if there was anything else we needed.

4 ladies out to lunch. we all had wonderful well cooked and presented meals.brilliant service from Jamie and Treacle h x

Had a lovely meal. Food was very tasty..

Very pleasant staff from the moment we walked in. Very friendly and checked that all was ok. 1st time we have esten and been there. Will go again.

Came in here on Wednesday evening with my family. The place is clean and the staff were friendly. The food was very good, 2 steaks, a chilli & a burger. It’s a shame we have to drive to Melksham, when there is a similar chain nearby in Trowbridge run by Marstons.

We were well looked after by Paula as usual.

More attention required when cooking food as some items were overcooked and presentation wasn’t very good
