The best restaurants in Fovant and Chalke Valley Wiltshire South West

The holy grail of all pubs!... Food/ location/service and staff are all outstanding...❤

Delicious meal at such a beautiful restaurant. Staff were lovely. We had such a nice time and will definitely be back!

The Full Breakfast is fantastic

Put aside the minor-celebrity connections and take this place for what it is - a perfect blend of tiny inn, gastropub and locals hangout. Our stay was for two nights giving us the chance to take in the countryside and visit the cathedral at Salisbury. We were lucky with the weather which gave us the opportunity to enjoy the pub garden while the locals chatted at the bar. The food was tremendous (I recommend the cod or the duck). We had breakfast on both days in the oak room which is a great place to start your day. A special mention should go to the room’s shower (we stayed in the Wardour Room) which was astounding.

Nice lunch but sadly we were the only people in the pub and so no atmosphere. The food was good and simple fare. Would go again for that. The waitress was helpful but seem eager to rush away everytime we ordered anything. This seemed surprising as there wasn’t anyone else there. The landlady seemed really fed up and was full of negative stories about the trade at her pub and the area. Didn’t give a good impression sadly.

A beautiful little cafe hidden in the Chalke Valley. Tucked away behind the shop they serve a great choice of local cakes and coffee. The Dorset Apple Cake is a firm favourite. The service is amazing, always friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm. I would return anytime.

Friendly, welcoming, very helpful staff. I came to scout out the venue as I'd heard about the car meets they host & wanted to check accessibility. Courtyard/carpark is compacted gravel, thus wheelchair friendly & there is a ramp (complete with signs asking patrons not to block it with bicycles). Car parking is within a few metres of the door. I will definitely be back!

Great country pub, lovely detail and super comfy, we met friends for dinner and it was also superb.

The horseshoe inn gives a warm welcome, the Sunday lunch is excellent, and the portions are generous. Tony serves great beer and gives the authentic country pub experience, missing from most venues. I'd highly recommend a visit. Just make sure you book in advance as this is a deservedly busy pub.

Super nice small hotel, a perfect stop between London and Cornwall. There is small pub as well which we didn't have the chance to experience as we arrived late, but looked super cute. The yummy homemade cookies and the tea in the room is super nice touch

Love Z Hotels They have Sky which is great It’s tiny but got everything you need Slightly hard beds but it’s fine Be comfy with your partner as toilet and shower is not too private. But clean, brilliant and fun!

What a lovely pub. Great wood burners nice attentive staff and great menu. Has the Gammon steak. Not the usual thin dry stuff you usually get. It was thick, juicy and tender with a great flavour. Will be back!

After suffering a mechanical whilst out riding the green lanes of Dorset my friend and I found ourselves stranded in the rain whilst a third member undertook the 2 hour round trip to get a rescue van. We looked for the nearest refuge and came across the Talbot Inn only a couple of miles away. After a tiring and wet push we arrived at 14.40 to a wonderful warm welcome from Venetia. Not only were we welcomed in and given excellent hospitality, but her and Son Theo (budding biker and rugby star) allowed us to remain long after the 15.00 closing time awaiting rescue. The food menu looks fantastic and a better experience we could not have wished for. I will be returning with my family (including Leo, budding biker and rugby star of similar age to Theo) for a Sunday roast in the near future. Thank you Venetia and Theo, you really saved the day. All the best Carey
