Wellington in Wiltshire

First visit after this lovely pub has reopened, first impressions are good, nice ambience & decor, definite improvement after reopening, that’s the positive, £8 for a pint plus half for a 4.5% local Ale!! That’s a huge increase! Suffice to say that was the only one & no intention of returning to pay that! Step across the road & the same percentage equally nice Ale is £4.75 a pint! In this day & age every penny counts & £5:30 a pint makes this one if not the most expensive pub in town. I’ve given 2 for the decor as it’s really nice inside but sadly won’t be retuning with those prices!

Used to go here a lot years ago but boy, has it gone downhill - food-wise that is. OK, so they are friendly but you want more than that when you stop by for something to eat. All they had was pizza, sandwiches and PIES. Not great, so had to find something elsewhere. It used to be great for food but now - not so much.

I was about to order an evening meal only to be told to leave because I was acqusded of using a vape. The truth was that I was not and the Landlady then hurled abuse at me! A very unwelcome place to be. There are many other pubs and restaurants in Marlborough to go that are much more welcoming. Visit this pub at your peril.

Town local. Very busy on Friday music nights. Great acts and great atmosphere. Mixed aged patrons and friendly staff.

I was feeling down and decided I needed a drink and food. Ok they were only doing Pizza but I took the plunge. It was so good.

What a lovely place. Such nice staff who have been nothing but welcoming since we got here. Great beer fantastic atmosphere

Great little boozer! Great beer, open fire. Clean and tidy and if you fancy a pie they do those too. Always busy early evening on Fridays

Such a nice little pub. Great beer and fantastic staff. They are all so friendly and are always happy to help and have a laugh

Friday night in Marlborough? This is the place to be! Fantastic live music great beer good service and lovely pizza

Great service at the bar, friendly and helpful. Jordan was particularly jolly and kind. I would recommend this as a great destination for fine Ales and food.

I was charged £29.49 for 4 drinks. A pint of lager, a small white wine and lemonade, a house gin and tonic and a house vodka and Diet Coke. I was expecting £20/22 max and people I’ve spoken to agree. I incredulously queried the price 3 times with the barman, to be told “it’s not us, it’s the brewery who have put the prices up because of the Mop Fair” The ambience of the pub was dire to say the least, the same barman seemed to be having a spat with a colleague, it was embarrassing. Won’t be visiting again.

5 family members met there. Extremely welcoming, excellent food, lovely interior, dog friendly, will definitely go back.

Looking for a quaint pub for a meal and drinks with friends, look no further. Nothing better then hot meat pies, assortment of sides and and Ramsbury cask ale. Pleasant staff and a quit place to enjoy a friends company.

I went into The Wellington arms last night with some friends. When we walked in there was a band performing and we stayed for the whole evening to enjoy the music. What a wonderful time we had. Everyone was singing and dancing the night away (something we have all missed during the various lockdowns). We will definitely be going back soon to enjoy the live music!

Great new manager Used to manage Green Dragon in Marlborough Staff very friendly Well kept ales and lagers and ciders Food limited But this is a pub for people who like their beers Small but sunny garden

Great pies, quaint authentic pub atmosphere, friendly attentive staff, great beer. Well worth the visit, definitely a place you want return too.

We had a very enjoyable lunch and drinks. The staff were knowledgeable, humorous and welcoming. A great selection of drinks were available. We will definitely be back!

Dropped in with 8 friends for a beer prior to eating at Rick Steins. An excellent traditional pub with great real ales - my pint of Ramsbury Gold was outstanding. Six Nations Rugby was on and place was very busy, but service was prompt and...

The Bar Manager is quite frankly the rudest person I have ever met. The Landlord is a nice chap but regrettably he only works now and then. The food is rubbish and not a real menu. Don’t go to this place.

We didn’t eat here but went in a couple of times for drinks. Lovely courtyard garden. Nice character inside. Great local vibe and friendly staff. Dog friendly. Would definitely recommend popping in if you are visiting. A local cat likes to pop in for a...

Great pub. Excellent Staff. Friendly and proffesional. Beers are good. We both had one of the pies. Devine. Proper grub. Well presented and great price. Would definately recommend

Not a big food selection but pies were good. Beer price reasonable and good. Booked online and worked fine

We visited for lunch but found the menu rather bland. When the food arrived it was fine but nothing special; however the beer selection was above average so there's always something to praise.

Dropped in on our visit to the town looking for real ales. They had a couple on but always a few pumps off or coming soon. Ok selection but not the best.

Good food and fairly priced. Will will definitely be returning. Thanknyou for a nice visit and Well done you

Great range of beers from the Ramsbury Brewery as well as guest Ales from other Breweries, great decor & atmosphere the pub has a great vibe well worth a visit.

We visited the Wellington Arms tonight looking forward to their simple pub food. The menu is mainly traditional English pies. We were certainly not disappointed. They were absolutely beautiful on mash with a nice gravy. Sounds to simple to be so good, but give them...

We were looking for somewhere to eat late-afternoon and this looked like a good place to stop & we're glad we did. A friendly welcome from the bearded barman & the place had a really nice vibe as well as a cool hidden back garden....

Quick 2 pint stop, excellent Ale, perfect temperature, good head and clean taste all the way through (Ramsbury gold)...enough said really (well the bar staff were also friendly).

Been here a couple of times whilst visiting our daughter. Got to say this is one of the best pubs I've been in lately. The atmosphere and vibe are really chilled out. We came on a Tuesday and they had a vinyl night, bring your own tunes and get a discount on your drinks!! Dogs are very welcome and they have a "Yappy hour" every day between 3 and 6 and you get a pound off your beers with your dog!! Brilliant!! And the pies are amazing!! Make sure you visit this place. The food, staff and atmosphere are amazing!! One of the best pubs you'll ever visit!!

We went to the Wellington Arms a couple of times during our recent stay. The staff were pleasant and the decor nice.We had the Chicken Fandango pie (I think that's what it was called) served with mash and peas.The choices were very good and it was a very filling, delicious meal eat sitting in the pub garden.It's also nice to sit outside and watch Marlborough High Street life.

We have been to nearly all the pubs and restaurants in Marlborough and decided to try the Wellington after being recommended it. It was s busy Friday lunchtime but the pub was calm and with s very pleasant interior. I particularly liked the 'scruffy hour' as we're dog lovers and will definitely be bringing our dog again! I liked the comfy chairs with cushions and blankets. Lunch was different and tasty

Tried the quiz night for the first time and really enjoyed it. Very nice friendly pub, nice staff & clientele and the garden is lovely.

On a very warm day last weekend we enjoyed a drink and a pie in the garden. The barman was lovely and recommended something off the menu and it didn’t disappoint. As non locals we felt welcome and the garden is really lovely. I wasn’t impressed by a couple of foul mouthed idiots in the garden but that’s not the pub’s fault. Cute pub cat too. Always a winner with me.

Lovely pub in a somewhat sleepy town.

Called in here whilst on holiday from Saturday. Nice pub but on both occasions the Fosters was completely flat. On my second visit I showed my pint to the staff who agreed it was bad and said it was the gas and kindly changed it for Birra Moretti. Unfortunately this was flat as well. Shame as it's a nice pub but 3 bad pints out of 3 is pretty poor

Now it's a average, mostly empty pub, some good beer, but miserable pie minster 'pies and mash', basically rubbish....

There are many pubs in Marlborough and by chance my husband chose this. Small cosy atmosphere with very friendly and helpful staff. Small menu of home made pies, mash and gravy, we all had something different and all were very tasty. Beautiful pastry with great fillings, or fish pie which is delicious. Highly recommended.

Wow !! Amazing pie and mash and excellent service too. We popped in for a quick drink, ended up staying all day and night.

We enjoyed our meals at the Wellington. After an unfortunate experience at Polly's - where the pie contained enough salt to treat the roads around Marlborough - I was relieved to find that the Wellington dished up a very tasty pie. The service was friendly too; and we were there on a Monday, which meant that we received two pies for the price of one. Who can argue with that?

We were served our drinks and coffee by a trainee barmaid, there was a misunderstanding about the bill, however our comments were listened to and the matter resolved quickly.

We bumped into this wonderful and cosy gem by chance and were delighted to taste the best English pies and warm brownies ever. Add that it didn’t cost as a fortune : a mast !!!!!

Nice stop-off place for informal snacks and meals. Great open fire in the Winter, so very cosy at Christmas. Friendly staff and nice food.

We visited here while staying at a campsite nearby Marlborough. Despite not coming up on top advisor as vegan friendly, this pub does stock a vegan pie, which was super delicious. The only downside was they didn't have the Vegan mash listed on the menu.

Well Worth A Visit ... Friendly Service Good Beer & Cider With Excellent Food Toilets clean & tidy Pub cosy staff chatty ...will be back

Traditional type pub, no frills just good value meals. Fairly limited menu, mainly pies. Ate here 3 times in the week, friendly staff, good service and a pie, mash, gravy and a pint for £10. Can't say fairer than that!

If you are out shopping or wandering around beautiful Marlborough and decided to have lunch, The Wellington Arms is the perfect place.

Dropped in to try the beers. Sharps Atlantic was ok but my favourite beers were the bottled Lagunitas. Friendly bar staff.

Proper pub! The landlord szymon is very hospitable as are all the staff, live music on every weekend, Good selection of beers and ciders, and 4 or 5 lagers, I’ve never seen anyone complain about the beer or food! The Pie n mash n peas n gravy we had was delicious and reasonably priced, quick service, great bar staff, friendly locals..... love it!

We stopped here for Sunday lunch and we were pleasantly surprised. All their meals are pie and mash but it doesn’t stop there...the variations are fantastic. I had the saag-pie-neer (one of two veggie options). The presentation was visually pleasing and great size portions. The gentleman behind the bar was a great laugh and looked after us well. We sat outside with the dogs as it was a sunny day and the space was perfect. The atmosphere was chilled out, games on the tables to play. A very quaint little spot. Not your average pub!!

Sunday 5:30. Extremely happy staff with a mouth watering description of the pies of offed. They were quick to arrive and extremely tasty (wasn't even offered any of my partner's). Well worth a visit.

The next one to try is the Wellington. Three beers on and again my favourite Timothy Taylor’s Landlord. Good to see and sample! Busy pub again.

Travelling from Reading to Bath we decided to go via Marlborough for a bite to eat. It was an odd time as 4pm generally equates to 'sorry we finished food at 2.30' or we start at 5pm. However, this lovey pub offered great pies and great service. we travel down on most Saturdays so we will return as there are also some great bar snacks which would be a great tapas afternoon with the newspapers.

Dropped in with friends for a drink. Four beers marked up but sadly two “coming”. So not the best selection. The two ales on were average.

Really nice pies and friendly atmosphere. New people in charge. Soft drinks are very reasonable priced. Can taste the Stilton in the steak and Stilton pie!!!!! meals from 12pm till 10pm most days, finish 8pm Sundays so no rush. well worth a visit.

We had friends over from America and having drunk in the Wellington before I suggested that we book the back room for pie and mash to show a traditional pub with good English food. We booked a week in advance.

The wellington is at one end of the high street and just slightly off the beaten track for most visitors which means they're missing out on a real treat.

Lovely pub serving a range of delicious pies My wife and I had the moo pie which was served on a bed of mash potato The pie was full of beef cooked perfectly and then accompanied by delicious gravy Pie lovers paradise highly recommend

Nice pub and good ales. We tried three pumps and a bottle. All quite good and the best of the evening.

Friendly welcoming staff here served a delicious lunch. Very tasty pies. Comfortable seating in a well kept premises. Would definitely go again.

went into the wellington whilst camping in Marlborough, they were very welcoming in the morning allowing us to bring our dogs into the pub whilst we had coffees. We booked a table for lunch while we were there and gave our orders as well, so the meals were ready when we arrived at 12. The Pies are absolutely fantastic, we had three different pies between us and they were all very nice.

the food here is different to normal pub grub . pick a pie then add what you want with it - really needs chips on the menu - a pint of chips would be brilliant idea ( you need to see the menu to understand why I say a pint of chips ) but its a nice just enough meal and not expensive

Paramos aquí en nuestro camino a casa para romper el viaje.

impromptu night filled with lovely food , great gin cocktails, trivia and friendly staff. dog friendly too

The Wellington has been very stylishly refurbished and has a relaxing feel about it. They do pies, that's their selling point at the moment. There is a wide variety including good vegetarian pies and there is something for everyone. The pies have a very delicate pastry and are not stodgy like a conventional pie. There is a choice of sides, mash or chips etc. They have a good selection of gins and a good range of real ales. Great staff, very chilled feel. What's not to like?

I won a meal for two at the Wellington Arms from their Facebook page and I am so glad!!! The food was delicious, very friendly and professional staff, and the prices looked really decent - I absolutely recommend!!

I think this a new venture and has a 'Pieminister' Franchise or similar. As a tourist on holiday looking a for a pie and a pint after a long walk it was great. No frills service but so friendly and the pies were amazing,only £6.00, best I have had....and I eat a lot of pies. We were offered small glasses of each beer before we made our choice and there was a live band playing old favourites, a lovely evening.

hubby had the fish pie that he raved about with every mouthful, I had the beef and ale pie which was also delicious

First time we've ever been in here. Ignored at the bar for several minutes but hubby did get free coke when I moaned. Enjoyed the pie and mash but rather slow service. Even longer wait for puds. Garden set up seem a bit cramped and the fitted bench looked a bit like a rushed job and uncomfortable as too high up for table. Too many steps for my liking as I am disabled and dislike steps as it's very hard work!!

Dropped in to try the ales. Had five on and we tried three unusual ones to us. Quite nice and looks nice pub.

I don't mean the change about how the Pub looks now. I have to say that since the night I was invited with friends for the launch opening, I noticed how pretty and well decorated is The Wellington arms. The change I meant, was to do with general customer service and cleanliness. The first time we went there for the invite. The place looked very nice, very clean, the atmosphere was booming, the service was exceptional. I went back a few times since, with either my husband, work colleagues and friends. On every single visit recently, it was pretty consistent but I mean consistently "Bad". We felt ignored every single time. We weren't welcomed like we were at the launch. The Pub doesn't look that sharp and clean as before. The staff were a bit scruffy (Dressed) and so the manager (Leading by example). The menu isn't something you can eat every day (Only pies). They always run out of Ales.My friend just told me that Waitrose sell the Wellington arms pies for only £2.50 each?? Where it will cost you at least £6 for a plain pie at the Pub. I don't really know if I willgo back and give them again another chance, it's just that I like the way the Pub looks now (Specially the garden). Find out for yourself and let me know through TA. I might take your advice. In general "Very very disappointed"

What a great little pub. The menu consisted of purely pies! Lovely lunchtime snack, Chicken of Aragon pie with gravy - it was delicious.Very nice inside, great service, friendly polite staff and a nice selection of well chilled wine.Definitely worth a visit.

I have hesitated to write a review for the "new Wellington " as I did not want to judge it on what it was but on what it is. As a regular here for some 15 plus years I am bound to be dissapointed by the menu. However the beers and wine are good and service is OK and with time may improve. I will continue to pop in for the odd drink but am sad at having lost a lovely family local.I wish you luck.

Recently refurbished old coaching inn. Very nice inside with new dining room attached to the bar. Concentrates on bar food and Pieminster range of great hot pies. Friendly atmosphere and range of cask beers etc. Recommend a visit.

Called in here for a quick drink with family but found it very cramped and food delivered at a fast pace. Not a lot of room to move and you always felt you were in the way.I didn't enjoy my brief visit and with a very large dog spread across a path way, I didn't want to eat here.I understand this place has been recently reopened after a refurb, I wasn't to impressed on this occasion......sorry !!

I've been in a couple of times in the last week. Without exception the staff were good. They were friendly and, while some were inexperienced, they served with a smile and a friendly word or two. The refurb is spot-on and the garden looks welcoming. They don't claim to have anything other than a mainly pie menu. This may limit appeal but meantime the pies we had were exceptionally good. Finally the beer is good and there is no expectation that you eat. Thankfully it's still a pub at heart.

Have been in town for business and as such have spent the week frequenting the various establishments along the high street, and this little pub stood out for me by far. I understand they have had a recent refurbishment and have experienced a few initial teething problems which is to be expected surely from any new business?Whilst it is evident that some of the staff are new and still obviously learning the ropes, my interactions with them throughout the week have been extremely positive, they were friendly, welcoming and extremely enthusiastic and knowledgable about their products, they remembered my drinks preference from my first visit and and enquired about my stay in Marlborough, showing genuine interest in me as a customer. What's more, the pub offers free wifi, and has plenty of plug sockets including USB ports which was handy for me to sit and work through emails away from my hotel room. It has a small but cosy outside space and has really fresh and relaxed feel about it. I tried a couple of their pies ( chicken of Aragon & The Moo and wasn't disappointed. I also had one of their Mr Hot sausage rolls with mash. They were great. And reasonably priced for a quick bite to eat after a long days work.If I am back in Marlborough I will definitely visit again to see how they are progressing as I'm sure once they find their feet they will continue to make this pub a great place to visit.

Eagerly awaited reopening of a Marlborough favourite.....and refurbishment has been done well albeit music a little intrusive and lighting not quite right. But the disaster is the removal of the kitchen - so only reheated pies available with side orders at exorbitant prices for quality/quantity. What the owners have failed to grasp is regular guests don't want the same menu day in day out, so sad. And service was ok if a little chaotic, more problems with the supply chain as some wines ran out and were off the list for several days and on Sunday half the pies were also sold out.

Popped in last night, a few other people in lovely staff and great service had the Moo pie which was amazing, really like what they have done with the Pub warm and cosy, check out the USB plugs for charging your phone, was worried about other reviews but from our visit well worth a go.

I'll keep this short. Love the concept and want it to succeed. Positives - the two members of staff; the use of space; and the beer garden. Negatives - the useless, and really rather rude 'Managers', who seemingly have no personal or communication skills; lack of ales... oh... and lack of pies. Will give it another go... we'll see how that goes. P.s. Walked down to Waitrose and bought the pies. They had almost every variety. #embarrassing

Again good concept..lady chef excellent customer service and friendly...the other staff...abysmal...our waiter dropped our food in front of us on the floor and then decided to pick up..put back on plate and go to serve!!! After our shocked faces bought new ones...well we think original as he was back in less than 30 secs. The pies were nice but food was cold. Wouldn't go back or recommend.

This used to be an old favourite under the previous owner so I visited on Sunday evening to see what it was like now. I was the only person in there apart from two bar staff and a guy who was apparently the manager however he didn't have a customer service bone in his body. He was marching around in an urgent manner, barking orders and rudely interrupting a conversation between myself and the bar staff. I got the impression I was in the way of his 'efficient' manner so finished my drink as quickly as possible and left! Won't bother to go back.

Visited an old favourite today, to find it's been very smartly refurbished. All very smart and nicely updated. However the menu is now only pies and sides not much variety. The staff were loud and outspoken and there was a random (staff member) running around in a tracksuit on an iPad making a scene! All very odd, we won't be returning.Such a shame as had been a wonderful old fashioned pub before.

Only went in for a drink... Nice refurb, cozy surroundings, good selection of drinks and beers. Under completely new management.However this was totally undermined by the habit of the staff shouting at each other and slagging off 'management' right in front of the customers. Either the new managers are ogres or they need some new staff.

We took my wife's Dutch cousins to Marlborough for the day to show them a typical English town so decided on an English pub for lunch. We were all well pleased with the food, service an atmosphere at a reasonable price.

What can I say....great beer, good food, a roaring fire and a fantastic atmosphere every time. Not to mention the Sunday night quiz!

We dined here in August 2016. Service was with a smile and very efficient. I had a steak (not the Saturday special) which was very well cooked and came with the usual trimmings. There were a few real ales (Ramsbury) but I was a bit of a pleb and drank Foster's - it was what my body wanted!

Staff are friendly and efficient. Atmosphere is typical to an English pub, good range of ales. Food is well priced and delicious!

Forget all the tinsel, bright lights and colours of themed and chained pubs, this pub just ticks all the right boxes. I visited here with a friend who remembered a good Sunday lunch at this place. Our mid week evening meal was excellent, the menu is not too extensive but there are specials to be chosen too. A smaller menu is reassuring in such an establishment and I was rewarded with a good chicken pie and a traditional English spotted dick.The pub is simple in layout both for decoration and tables, it seems popular and filled up as the evening went along, but didn't get too full. The juke box played in the background old Pink Floyd music which is refreshing too. Not too loud, not too distant.If you want a good pub with good food then I can recommend this place. The friendly staff finished it all off perfectly. It has a feel to it that the management know how not to spoil a venue and good luck to them, it hits the mark perfectly for a town pub where you can just drink or have food.

We were lucky enough to get a cosy table by the fire in a very busy lunch time service. The starter and main was very tasty, more like home cooking. Service friendly and efficient even though they were busy. Would certainly pop in again.

Very pleasant experience, good beer, very good food, and always made to feel welcome.A 'true' pub, with a very good atmosphere.

Popped into the Wellington for a quick lunch attracted by the sign outside for a 2 course OAP special for £6.95. Walked through the door to be greeted by a blazing fire and two friendly guys behind the bar. We had fish and chips and ham, egg and chips and, although pensioner specials, were generous servings of piping hot food with lovely thick cut crispy chips. The included dessert was rhubarb crumble with a choice of custard, ice-cream or cream. Again a very generous portion of crumble, piping hot and was really delicious. We will definitely call in there again.

stumbled a long to this place by accident ..we where staying across the road and was looking for something to eat,they had stop serving food so went elsewhere but went back as they had a live band on,...they where brilliant ..some ska band..did lots of madness covers..the bar staff where brilliant,made us feel very welcome..oliver..lady with the snake tattoo and another lady with long hair..i would deffo be going back at somepoint...thanks

An excellent Pub, come pub food location, in the Nicer end of the town. Good beer, nice people, very clean.

This is a nice little local pub with polished wooden floors and a very good value bar menu. Young friendly staff and all the customers were shall we say Mature in years so the blaring modern music was for their benefit not ours. Worth a visit if you are in town.

We stopped here for lunch on a day trip to Marlborough one Sunday; we didn't fancy the roast dinner options (although they looked lovely) so we opted for scampi & chips and sausage & mash. Service was friendly and prompt. The portions were huge!!!!! Typical pub fayre rather than restaurant, however we would certainly recommend and wold eat here again. Nice overall relaxed ambience in the pub.

We moved to Marlborough a month ago and have had a lunch time drink here and then ate here last night. Really good whitebait starter followed by fish & scampi and chips. Staff friendly. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Happy to return anytime.
