The Wyndham Arms in Wiltshire

A proper pub serving proper beer. Landlord & Landlady are very friendly & welcoming. Worth a visit or two.

Lovely quaint looking pub with some absolutely cracking beers from their local brewery. Well worth a visit for any Ale loving enthusiasts

Always good beer and relaxed atmosphere.

Pilgrimage to the Wyndham Arms. Great to finally get there after passing it for so many years. God rest louey, who we said we would get there one day. I love Hop Back Brewery, 🤟

No food as such, extensive choice of bar snacks including cheese & crackers

Cracking traditional pub with hopback beers that are very well kept.

Best Real Ale pub in Salisbury?

The beer is cheap. But, cliquey and unfriendly. Sticky carpets and appalling toilets. Really nasty landlady.

Really brilliant hidden gem of a local pub, good ales on tap, very rustic interior and just a really relaxing place to while away an afternoon.

I've visited this pub many times during the last 23 years, I travel to Salisbury from Portsmouth just to enjoy this place and its excellent ales. I last visited this pub on 15th July 2023 and it's as good as it's ever been. Great selection of Hopback Ales, as always Summer Lightning is wonderful, so too is GFB, I loved the Citra and the Garden Party was a new brew for me and I loved it too. I spent a great afternoon in this pub on 13th Jan 2024, it's as good as ever. 😁

I've heard different options but the locals are friendly, the bar staff friendly and knowledgeable and a relaxed and laid back atmosphere. Recommended!

Proper pub and good beer. Doesn't do food, just a pub.

Lovely classic style pub. Good drinks. Good price. Good atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Cheapest and best beer in Salisbury.

A great little local pub with excellent beer.

Great pub, lovely, very friendly locals atmosphere, good pints of beer from the Hop back Brewery, which started brewing at this pub in 1986.

Described as ‘the best little boozer in Christendom’ by TV archaeologist Dr Phil Harding. I can’t disagree!

Unpretentious pub for beer lovers!

Didn't have any food but it's a very nice locals pub. Lovely pint 🍺 of Crop Circle.

Been going in for years, once so busy couldn’t get to the bar, now almost empty. Another pub close over the road SO much better. The landlady very rude only wants locals in. I like character, It has character if you like sticking to the carpet, but very tired , the toilets gross! On a positive fantastic beer, and cheap!

I came here five years ago. At the time it was buzzing. Lovely warm atmosphere and all the hopback brews available and kept well. This time only three were available. Sad to say that the crop circle was average. Tastes better at my local Weatherspoons . Barmaid was not very friendly. The handful of people at the bar just stared at us. Shocked at how different the pub is five years on. Wont be returning.

This is a Hopback Brewery owned pub. If you are a fan of real ale you are in for a treat. The ale is one of the best I have ever had. There are several but the the Summer Lighting is something special.

A lovely pub. Good service and drinks are very well priced. A nice place to stop for drinks and a catch up.

A great local, close to the main part of town, full range of Hopback Brewery beers on the bar.

We went here when staying in Salisbury since we seek out great pubs and traditional cask ale. This is the home pub of the Hopback Brewery and it served their regular plus rotating/seasonal ales. Their ale is excellent overall and here it is great condition. It's a great place to go to get their classic Summer Lightning. We went here for a couple pints each night we were in town. The bartender was great and friendly. We also ended up talking to a few locals when here. It's simple, but traditional and comfortable. A note for those who may want food, -this is pub for drinks, not for dining.

Great pub with lovely staff and fantastic ales.

Went for a walk with my partner after a family bereavement. Stopped in here for a pint on the way home. After taking our seats I put my head down for literally 5 seconds while I composed myself. This was met by a shout (no exaggeration) from the female toothless bartender"he can get his f••king head off the table or he can get the f out!" We left our full pints behind. Not only being unfriendly and unprofessional it was particularly bad that day. What a terrible choice of staff. Will never set foot in here again and as a local will make sure this story is shared. No one should be treated so poorly.

Terrific friendly local with Hop Back beer range. Well worth the short walk out.

Good well kept ales, friendly landlord. A nice place to sink a few

Top traditional pub with old school bar with decent beer and cider. Plus barman is friendly.

Great beer, pickled eggs and crisps in proper real ale quiet boozer

Great selection from the local brewery which included the beer of the month

My visit on Saturday was the best by far. Dave behind the counter was great conversation. That's a vast improvement on previous occasions when tumbleweed would roll past as the licensee and regulars eyed warily any interloper.

My favourite pub in Salisbury. Quality beers and friendly bar staff.

Fabulously friendly staff, old school pub, great quality beer. What's not to like?

Heritage corner pub serving the full range of Hop Back beers on cask and in bottle, always in perfect condition. No bells or whistles, just good beer!

Sat here on a Saturday afternoon with my Spaniel having the most superb pint of Summer Lightening. Honestly..it is superb!! Nice warm welcome for a complete stranger.

Proper old school boozer with great ale ✌️

Great traditional pub and great beer

Really special, lovely local pub

Beautiful homely pub with a warm welcoming atmosphere and tremendously friendly staff. A***

Great beer! And nice regulars. Lisa at the bar has a remarkable memory 😊

Still as I remember, fantastic beer and a great welcome. If I could handle a session these days I would still be in there. I haven’t given it 5* as it doesn’t serve sandwiches although the website says it does. Look forward to my next visit.

Great pub with very friendly staff. Good choice of beers etc. Dogs welcome - always a good sign. Highly recommended.

Wide selection of well kept real ale, warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Nice hopback pub with 5 of their finest ales available

What a great old pub and the birthplace of Summer Lightning as a bonus.Locals are very friendly and welcoming.

We located this pub via TA when staying in Salisbury for two nights to tackle the Trek26 walk for Alzheimer’s - what a great find! They serve a good range of HopBack beers, it being the former home of the brewery. Mainly for locals but we were made welcome on both of our visits, especially after completing our 26 mile walk.

Great Pub and great beer at reasonable prices. Worth the short walk.

Terrific proper pub, good atmosphere, well kept beer...nuff said!

We always visit this pub when we are in Salisbury. As usual the beer was excellent as was the cider on draught. Hop Back beer was in top condition. I even had a bottle of Winter Lightening & a couple of bottles of Downton Imperial Stout at 9%. My husband said Summer Lightening was the best ever. The staff & customers were very friendly & had time to chat which was lovely. We visited every day of our holiday as it is such a good place to go for a relaxing drink. Bar snacks like crisps available. A definite must if you are in Salisbury

Great beer from the Hopback brewery

Friendly staff, super value and great ale! Thank you so much for being so obliging to our requests..

Just had our takeaway from the Wyndham, food was fantastic, reasonably priced and served with the usual warm welcome expected from Mary and Paul, undoubtedly the best pub in Salisbury

Just a friendly old fashioned pub

It's like a second home can I say more?

Excellent Barmaid was extremely Vigilant taking all precautions necessary Covid related .

This is the first negative review I have made on this and in general I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt but I have just been to the Wyndham Arms and experienced the worst customer service I think I have ever had. Having bought a couple of drinks and snacks and asked if we could sit outside and put up one of the umbrellas we were told to be careful as one of the outside parasols was broken. We tried to put up the parasol that we sat at but found the cord was detached from the handle mechanism used for putting up the umbrella and clearly broken. In the process of putting it up a grey haired lady came out and asked us “if either of us had an education”. She then proceeded to accuse us that we had broken the parasol and told us to move away from it. Initially I thought she was joking as couldn’t believe someone would be so rude to a customer but very quickly realised she wasn’t. I worked in many restaurants, pubs and customer service roles when I was younger and would never dream of talking to a customer in this manner. We didn’t force the umbrella, we noticed the cord was already detached when we initially started to open it. I feel really shocked about being talked to in this way as a paying customer, it spoilt what had up to that point been a lovely afternoon. I certainly won’t be returning and will advise all friends in the area to avoid too. I would like to point out though the other lady working behind the bar was lovely and polite.

Lovely pub. Doing carry-outs during whilst they cannot be open providing much needed refreshment.

Just read any review. Full of local characters, friendly and witty. A real drinking pub. No food. Just what a pub should be

Very nice pint and relaxing visit.

This is one of the finest pubs I know and I visit it regularly. It is the former home of the Hop Back brewery, who still own it. However, there is a problem with its listing on trip advisor, for some unknown reason it is listed under restaurants in Salisbury. Let me assure you it DOES NOT SELL FOOD. Only great ales, crisps, pork scratchings etc no food.

Fantastic full selection of hopback ales and cheap prices. Every pint was perfect condition.

Proper corner pub. Good beer. Nice welcome

As good as ever, first visited about forty years ago, when it was also a brewery, How times have changed, and mostly for the better !

Fantastic proper pub. The beers are fantastic, well kept and full of flavour. 5 or six ales on tap. Absolutely fantastic stuff. Wonderful unassuming, unpretentious pub which welcomes all comers.

Proper nice pub with hopback real ales well worth a visit if your in the area, next time I'm working away in the area I'll be back 😁 bet it's even better on a weekend

If you love real ale, this is a must.

Hopback pub full of friendly people drinking Hopback beers. Definitely worth a visit if you are a fan of the beers. If you haven't tried them yet, you soon will be.

I love this pub so much I almost don't want to review it in case everyone starts going. This pub is about great beer and people. That's it. The decor is a bit tired and the layout is unusual, but with the best beer in Salisbury and some of the friendliest patrons this place is always my first choice when in Salisbury.

It’s a normal looking roadside pub and have to say We thought excellent meals. Best gammon ever. Lady serving so nice. It’s a vg pub. Also vg value. You can not find anything but great.

Superb atmosphere and wonderfully kept ales

Very nice pub, much bigger than it looks from the outside. All the staff were really friendly, we enjoyed watching the rugby, then a lovely Sunday roast, good side portions & lots of side veg. Popped upstairs to look at the rooms as well - looked amazing so our only dissapointment was not staying there as well (will do next time in Winchester)

Great place with nice local beer. It seems to bei a hotspot for locals

Excellent dog friendly pub. Cosy and friendly atmosphere with a real local feel. Always an excellent tap selection, particularly as they always have Hopback selections on. They do a good pub quiz, too.

Always good and let us bring in pizza. Wish the landlady was more friendly.

Had a very enjoyable night with my husband, would visit again!

Landlord just about civil to my husband, no food inspite being on the website. Not impressed.

Just to add to all the positive reviews, behind the bar today are the most intelligent and also beautiful women...

I am so glad I found this pub before I moved out of Salisbury. The friendliest service I've had anywhere. Great beers on tap. Would be nice to have a quest cider now and again but it's still absolutely great.

A proper pub with great beer and atmosphere.

Great traditional pub. Beer well kept and friendly local crowd

Love this pub and all that work there

A real pub offering some of the countries best real ale from the award winning nearby Hopback Brewery, no food, just crisps, but GREAT beers. (The hopback Brewery actually began life in this pub)

Great beer, the home of summer lightning

Un excelente ejemplo de un pub local tradicional inglés. Si desea probar cervezas y cervezas en un ambiente auténtico, este es el lugar para usted. La gama de cervezas Hop Back es encantadora y vale la pena probar algunas de las bombas manuales y cervezas embotelladas. Ubicado en una esquina a 10 minutos a pie del centro, este es el lugar para ir a tomar una cerveza en Salisbury. Tendrá que adoptar la forma de hacer las cosas de los lugareños, pero si lo hace, disfrutará de una agradable experiencia con la cerveza. Si busca comida o un bar moderno, entonces esto no es para usted, pero como han dicho los críticos anteriores, no encontrará muchos lugares mejores para tomar una cerveza en un pub tradicional.

Vi besökte Wyndham Arms i samband med ett besök hos goda vänner. Maten som serverades var delikat, personalen var mycket trevliga och stämmningen var på topp. En pub som jag förstår varför många såg som "ett andra hem".

Friendly service and a good atmosphere

Great conversation and brilliant real ale.

Best ale house in the area, long may it continue

Have a great choice off hop back brewery. Ereal ales

Traditional pub with great Hop Back beers.

Excellent pub, great atmosphere, very good range of beers, haven't been here for 15years, still one best in Salisbury

Great beer and friendly staff and customers. The perfect place to pop in for a quick drink after walking the dog at the local parks. Can feel a bit local if you are not, but grab a table and make conversation with someone nearby and you'll soon feel like part of the furniture

No frills pub serving local Hopback beers plus the usual other drinks. Bar snacks available. A friendly local, non-corporate, pub.

Nice place, friendly staff, nice dog

Can't get enough of the windy! Best local you could ask for. Good beer, friendly and not too loud.

An old school friendly pub popular with its locals

Great place. Lovely staff. Excellent beer 🍺

no other pub in Salisbury quite like it. Ticks many (But not all) of George Orwell's publication: 'The Moon Under Water', in which he listed the 10 essentials of the perfect pub!
