The best restaurants in Chippenham Lowden and Rowden Wiltshire South West

Great food, with decent portions sizes and reasonable prices. Well worth a visit, The loaded fries are some of the best out there!

Eureka- we found it - one of the best Sunday lunches ever- Nice welcome, nice pint, nice good quality house wine (glass or bottle) excellent staff and service. The tables were not on top of each other as we now find post Covid, but spacious yet retaining a cosy atmosphere. The meal, and we had a mixture of meats between us, both in quality and quantity was excellent- We shall return! - and soon hopefully on our next visit to see family nearby.

I recently had an unpleasant experience at Wine Monkey, where the staff’s attitude left a lot to be desired. Despite having visited the bar before and having been a paying customer, I was refused the use of the toilet on my most recent visit. The staff were rude and dismissive, making me feel unwelcome and as though my previous patronage didn’t matter. What’s worse is that the place was nearly empty, so it’s not as if they were overwhelmed with customers. For an establishment that also advertises itself as a coffee shop, it’s baffling to see such disregard for basic hospitality. If Wine Monkey doesn’t want to offer basic facilities to its customers, they should at least treat people with more respect. I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone expecting decent service.

My other half took me here as he has been singing it's graces for a long time. I am from east Sussex and came to visit him and he said we had to go here. I am blown away by how good the burger was. What a burger! Happily will return next time I see him, so we can chow down to this tasty grub again.

We stopped in Chippenham on our way south after a day trip and were tempted by the look of this Italian restaurant. We had no booking but were shown to an upper room, which was empty, but soon filled up with other diners. After ten minutes we were able to place our order. Then we waited, and waited some more. Others around us were served, and we still waited, until the waiter came and apologised that our order had been mislaid! We had to place our order again, and now it was 40 minutes since we had arrived. Another 25 minutes we finally got our meals and more apologies from the waiters. The food was average at best and combined with the long wait, we were not entirely happy when we left. They had indicated that we would get a discount, but I only saw that we had not been charged for just one £4.70 side salad. Never mind. We are not often in Cirencester and unlikely to be back.

We fancied a good Thai meal after golf at Castle Combe. We walked into an empty restaurant on a Wednesday evening around 7 pm and were welcomed by the staff. Obviously it felt strange to be in an empty restaurant but 4 other couples came in before we left. We chose the two course menu at £25.95 each and it was very pleasant without being exceptional. Was it value for money. We would say average. Have we had better for the same price. Definitely yes. So all in all it was quite edible but not great value for money and it lacked atmosphere. Will we return. Unfortunately not.

Booked for a surprise 50th birthday on 7th September at 19:30. Got there and it's closed! No email from anyone to say they were cancelling the table. Utter disbelief. Will not book here ever again.

Visited for lunch with a family member who lives close by. Fantastic village pub, really friendly staff, welcoming and really attentive, really lovely honest Sunday lunch, we had pork and beef between us, nice to see such a great Sunday lunch with really nicely cooked veg, we won the cleanest plate award of the day, but that was just because the food was so good, great dessert offerings and drinks. We all enjoyed it and will be back.

Best flat white I've ever had from this Nero in Chippenham. The Honduras blend is out of this world good

really hot food lovely fish and chips ty

They were extremely busy but the staff were friendly, helpful, polite and courteous and it didn't ever feel like you were asking too much. Delicious food too!! It was a lovely meal for a 95th birthday celebration. We would definitely recommend the Pheasant and their excellent food and team. Thank you, and well done!

Came for lunch with our puppy Luca. Celine and the whole team were so friendly! The atmosphere is lovely and the food is delicious. Can’t wait to come back!

A lovely choice of meals, well cooked and presented, a fire burning in the corner, what's not to like!

Ended up coming here by chance but definitely be back. Lovely food at a great price. Served by Leigh and Michael who were fab.

Two couples went for afternoon tea at this lovely location and setting. Incredibly it’s close to the M4 but in a secluded and quiet village. We had a drink in the bar pre our afternoon tea, which is pleasantly furnished with comfortable seating. The afternoon tea was excellent……… Freshly made sandwiches, good range of cakes and last, but not least warm scones with more than adequate cream and jam portions. Lastly, the Staff were very friendly and helpful and extremely efficient. The lady manning the Bar, and the gentleman on Reception and serving the table were really ‘on the ball’ and made our afternoon very special.
