The best restaurants in Wiltshire South West

Lovely old house with polite and helpful host. Restaurant on site. Rural location, no local shops in walking distance.

Amazing flavours, amazing food and amazing hospitality. I have been here three weekends in a row now, it's become a Saturday treat. I've been in with my husband, another time with a child and on my own. It was lovely to relax with a book, panini and the best Mocha I've ever had. On top of this the owner and waiting staff are personable, friendly and nice to talk to. Can recommend the Italian sausage panini, comes with lovely salad and the brownies.

My wife and I decided to have lunch here, as we had not been before. Lovely quiet location and welcoming staff and atmosphere. Extensive menu choices with so many appealing options on offer. The spiced banana milkshake was amazing as was the pork belly kare kare. Delicious combinations and something different than the usual. So good we will be visiting again next week. Highly recommended and Tess the owner is lovely.

A nice looking place - super clean and very well decorated Menu is extensive and ideal for a quick meal or just a hot drink. Only negative is the choice of music! This makes it a difficult place to stay for long if you do not appreciate One Love (original mix). This is club music. Mindless thumping beat and weird sounds sometimes repeated wailing noises. Asked the staff to find different music. Seems not possible. Shame really. That type of music is not to everyone’s taste. If you are the staff and into clubbing it would be fine. But the staff are not the one’s to choose the music!

Trying to place an order for delivery and guess what…minimum delivery order is £15 mate, rude customer service

Excellent club sandwich with chicken bacon tomato egg lettuce , side salad with lovely dressing and fries, all this for a reasonable price

Lovely food. Very friendly staff. Open until 5.30 which for afternoon tea is so rare! Next door to the Museum. Spacious inside and tables (outside south facing) too.

I went here on a Saturday evening for dinner, it was a very quiet little pub but when my friend called in advanced they told us that we were not able to reserve tables although when we went into the pub there were tables that were reserved. They had also told us we weren’t able to bring dogs but we saw people outside with a dog as well as someone bringing their dog inside. This was a bit strange. Although the pizza here was very nice and I think it was reasonably priced although it was quite a thin pizza. Other than that I think this pub is a nice place if you want to go somewhere quiet and peaceful for dinner or drinks.

Thank you Ray & team for great night last on 27/12 You’ve no idea how important that meal was & Kavali you were just as was hoped. Thank you. All was perfect, as always is. Onward to more in 2025. Marcus

This will probably turn out to be of my shortest reviews, (for all those that have kindly followed my longer Feature Travel articles posted here on-line over the years), but the 'comparative' brevity of my write-up here is probably in direct relation to the wee size of this fabulous little cafe..! 😊 I first stumbled on the Antelope Cafe many years ago when visiting the Salisbury Antiques Emporium in the centre of this famous & most evocative Wiltshire City and was really taken by the 'quaint gentility' of it, tucked away on the top floor..and was immediately struck by the companionable near-silence as couples, friends & singletons quietly chatted over their coffees or sat happily reading their newspapers or books over their interesting snacks..! Not surprisingly, to my eyes the Antelope Cafe has all the wonderful appearances of an old-fashioned reading room..with snacks..and I just loved it..as obviously do the regulars who I have spotted there over the years, all taking a quiet step back from the hubbub of the street-lined cafes & eateries that festoon this wonderful City below us! Here, especially on a freezing January day outside, to venture into the warmth, bag a little table and have a wonderful cuppa or partake of some of the interesting snacks on the specials boards is obviously such a joy..and you'll soon feel miles away from the bustle of daily life! 👍 The owner & her lovely wee band of helpers are just superb..very kind & very attentive and this all adds to the most enjoyable 'old world vibe' of this little top floor haven...and my additional pleasant surprise was just how good the teas are... served, as they are, in wonderful china mugs..and tasing like real tea should do! I don't know if Salisbury's water is different to anybody else's' but I surely know that, normally being a tried & trusted coffee drinker only, I was initially bought a cuppa by a pal many moons ago and have to say that I've never enjoyed a mug of tea as much as I have here at the Antelope..and one day, when time permits, I really must make the time to stay a while longer and try out the smashing wee menu too. With the very obvious loyal clientele I have spotted partaking of lunches or afternoon teas here in that amazing peace & quiet of the top floor, I worried before putting pen to paper, (or fingers to keyboard), in case too much additional publicity might run the risk of potentially spoiling the very welcome ambience for those myriad regulars..of all ages.. by bringing in a wave of new customers... and the little secret here that the many locals keep, will be possibly marred by it becoming another 'fast food coffee outlet' and so potentially spoiling the lovely, rarefied atmosphere..! But on reflection, I now doubt that as this is a very special little place indeed..and judging by the amazing map & pin-board by the door, charting the many welcome international visitors who have happily found their way to this wee top floor cafe and contentedly shared it with the regulars, (and vice-versa), I feel this happy state of affairs will continue for as long as this fabulous little cafe exists..and long may that be! 👍 Thank you Antelope Cafe! 😎

Mia, Ash & Liam are brilliant they all run a tight ship. They all quickly resolve any issues professionally. The atmosphere in Legends is always inviting and entertaining. Haven't tried the food yet but have heard that the sunday dinners are excellent many times. x

Arrived Friday early evening 6:30pm and was looking forward to a burger only to find out the kitchen was closed! The venue was cold, dark and uncomfortable (old chairs that belong in a 70s community centre). This place is trying to be something it isn't. Never again.

Very good selection at reasonable price

We have visited a few times now and never been disappointed. Very friendly. Great menu. Clean. Very good prices. Toilet available, ask for a key.

This is a nice little cafe in a garden centre, but nothing special. The cakes are rather good and the mocha coffee is full if velvety chocolate.....but it us getting expensive.
