The best restaurants in Corsham Without and Box Hill Wiltshire South West

We went for a Sunday lunch. It's a sharing board, apparently for people with small appetites. I went specifically because i am gluten free and the menu says on the beef and Yorkshire pudding option (gf option available). The gf option is without Yorkshire pudding! Quite disappointing. The portion sizes of the meat is miniscule. Two small slices of beef, about the size of a slice of fray bentos corned beef shape. Qtr of chicken, just a leg piece. For £22! I also had the prawn starter which was 3 prawns in a bowl of salad. My son wanted pigs in blankets which was £7 for three small sausages in bacon! We all came away hungry. The Yorkshire pudding was similar to the size you get in a packet in Tesco. The only people who could possibly rave about the food here are those unable to boil an egg. The owner/manager seems to think he is funny, he isn't. His service is an acquired taste, one of which we had no desire to acquire.

Typical National Trust Cafe with seating inside and out, the usual fare and nearby toilets and car park. Suggest NT ensure all staff behind the counter are dressed properly.

We came here for lunch and as we’ve been several times before, I was expecting to have the chicken Caesar salad. Well the menu has changed and there were no salads to be had at all! I opted for the fishcakes. They were disgusting! Also, I think they should rename them potato cakes as I couldn’t find any fish by taste or sight! And at £15 a plate, I thought it was absolute daylight robbery! I will never return to this place

Very disappointed. Checked before going if they provide vegetarian breakfast and it quite clearly stated a vegetarian breakfast on the menu. But on arriving at the breakfast choice there was no vegetarian option. I asked if they provide vegetarian sausages and got a shrug and “ they might have started cooking them”. No one offered to go and check and it felt like it was too much bother. Wish we had gone else where and won’t be going there for food again.

Myself and my partner booked Rudloe for a night away for our anniversary. We had high hopes and felt so so excited. On arrival, the lady at reception was lovely! We were then very pleased with our room. However, when it came time to dine we headed to the restaurant. We waited by the restaurant entrance and were not seated or acknowledged for 5 minutes. We then walked back out to reception to check if we had used a wrong entrance as we were baffled by why we were ignored. When back in reception, we asked a man if we had got it right and he said “it’s not hard” and stormed off. This ruined the evening before it had even started in some ways, and foreshadowed the shoddy behaviour from staff for the rest of the night. Drinks orders forgotten, steaks arrived and got cold before the sides arrived. Overall disorganised. Food was delicious though! We were not seen to for a long time to leave, so we just got up to walk to the desk area to sign the bill. As we got up, we were again approached unkindly by another male waiter who was rude and brash and got us to sign the bill- the only way we got any attention that evening! I would never return to the restaurant. The room however was divine ! Me and my partner ate as fast as we could then rushed right back to the room to not ruin our night with the bad attitude of staff.

Ordered a coronation chicken sandwich with sides of dressed mixed leaves and crisps, order arrived with no dressing on the leaves and no crisps on the plate, the sandwich filling was only what I can describe as bland chicken mayo with a yellow tinge of colouring, no flavour at all apart from the margarine that was so thickly spread on the bread.

Pub was empty, waiter/landlord still insisted no prams as it blocks pathways (plenty of space). Food arrived cold, “vegan” menu was unflavoured potato curry. Held off this review for 2 years but I had nightmares again.

After having a lovely few hours in Lacock we started looking for a place to have lunch. Red Lion was full with a long wait for tables so we tried Carpenters Arms which was closed. Reluctantly we tried this cafe. I put my mask on and walked in an an elderly gentleman without any form of greeting barked at me “do you have masks?!”. I explained that while I had one on, the kids didn’t have them and my sister-in-law did not have one but had a scarf she could cover her nose and mouth with. He barked again “it’s not the same as a mask is it, we’ve had a death in Lacock!!!!”. By then my S-I-L had found a mask but I was so disgusted I told him that his manner left a lot to be desired and that I wouldn’t be spoken to like that. Thanked him for his warm welcome and left. What a vile horrible man and reading some other reviews, it seems he’s there often. Avoid avoid avoid!
