The best restaurants in Holt and Staverton Wiltshire South West

It was an excellent experience and we received a warm welcome. The food was sensational and the presentation was excellent, making everything look appetising, plus the service was very good. In addition, it is a comfortable, relaxing location.

This used to be a great place for lunch or tea in the Courts Garden in Holt. Sadly it is now closed. A great loss. The only problem with it was that it was too popular and one sometimes had to wait for a table.

Sadly now closed, with no sign of reopening any time soon

Loved it! Visited the area for a day of hiking and stopped here for lunch. It came recommended and I can see why! Stunning building (with an incredible tree surrounding the front door!), beautiful interior and a gorgeous sun trap garden out the back. The food was absolutely delicious! A bit on the pricier side, but well worth it — I’d rather pay a little more for great quality. Superb, very friendly and attentive service from George and Lulu, they’re a credit to the team! It’s great to come to a really decent pub with a nice feel to it. Warm and welcoming, not snobby or chaotic. Currently enjoying a glass of wine before I hoof it back to the campsite. I live relatively nearby, so I’ll definitely be coming back again! :)

We decided to take our Mum somewhere different for her birthday. This place ticked all the boxes, food was delicious (so many tasty ingredients, especially the toastie, even the salad was amazing), gorgeous views, wonderful staff and not one single complaint for our group. We could have sat there all afternoon, in fact we kind of did! Lots of space inside and out for a lovely Autumn day so it doesn't feel busy and you aren't sat on top of other tables. This is definitely one of our new favourite places and we're looking forward to trying something else next time! Having a stroll around the lake, seeing the swans and sheep after lunch was the icing on the cake. And talking about cakes, I'm not usually a cake person but had to try one when I saw them. Just wow!

Deserves worst rating ever! Place was closed upon arrival. No notice given in advance. Run down outward appearance! DO NOT CONSIDER BOOKING!!!

Great new venture, that has been open about 4 months. I was served by the welcoming Izzie, and had two lovely black coffees and a flapjack. It's early days for the business, so just a small selection of cake at the moment. Plenty of parking, seating inside and out, and dog friendly. WiFi is available, too. As the business grows, it is listening to what customers want, and bacon sandwiches are on the 'to do' list. Cash only at the moment, so take some change. Well done, Izzie! Chris.

The staff were very friendly, check inn was fast. I was shown to my room and was absolutely shocked. I booked a double room and ended up in ,what I can only call, a small flat. L-shaped sofa, smart TV, fridge, oven, and cooker. The bed was very comfortable and the bed linen was next level. I would very highly recommend this place and will definitely book again.

We went in today for a Sunday lunch, we arrived quite early but we were taken straight to our table and a drinks order taken, however we were then left without any menus and had to ask for them so we could decide on our order. We then had to get the attention of the staff members to take our order. Once the food came out the roast beef was lovely (albeit a bit over done for my liking, but I understand it's hard to please everyone) the thing that really let it down though was the gravy, it was like water and really lacked flavour. I had booked here as the reviews were all great, but I was a bit disappointed purely by the gravy and the service. But I was impressed that most dishes on the menu were homemade, including the puddings. I'm not sure we would return for a Sunday roast, but I would probably go for meals off the main menu instead.

The delivery time was unacceptable. The order and payment were taken but 1 hour later no food. When I spoke to the restaurant the attitude was poor. As in it is still cooking and should be 30 mins. 30 mins to cook some food..... really. Our boys were looking forward to a family meal but are now too tired to enjoy the treat. Happy Friday.....
