The best restaurants in Wiltshire South West

Proper village pub, ticks every box.

Great food with a balanced and attentive service.

In the local area, we visited for a Sunday evening. The carvery menu is available but we chose from the extra mains. Both dishes were delicious: Halloumi Burger and Roasted Veg pasta. Very busy so recommend booking.

All fab. Superb customer service from Barbara. She should be commended & given a bonus. Thanks.

Ordered starter goats cheese Bon Bon’s with beetroot and walnut salad , came with no beetroot or walnuts 🙈 Main course was tasty but lukewarm

The staff were amazing, service excellent, food fantastic.

Unfortunately, this isn’t a good review at all after loving this place for so long. We booked for a Sunday lunch for a table of 3 including our two year old son. I had the pork, my wife had the beef and we ordered a child’s roast dinner. First of all we ordered some drinks which, one didn’t arrive so I had to ask the waitress when it would come. When the food arrived it was immediately underwhelming. The pork portion looked large, but it was mostly fat, and ‘crackling’ was soggy. The roast potato’s were so dry and hard to cut, and the same goes for the Yorkshire pudding. The veg included 1 very small carrot and some dry cabbage. There was a side of cauliflower cheese, this was also disappointing. We paid the bill and left promptly, only to call the pub later that day to ask if there was anything wrong that day with the chef, and to voice our dissatisfaction with what was a fantastic pub. They apologised, but insisted the food is cooked to what they believe the correct standard, they have offered us a refund of one of the meals, however this has yet to be received. I really hope this place improves. It use to be a fantastic place for Sunday lunch. When you go out for food you expect to eat better than you would at home, sadly for this place, we should have stayed at home!

We stayed for three very pleasant nights and dined twice. An attentive manager supported by his young but professional resturant staff enhanced an excellent experience. Obviously with its good resturant grading we expected good food. We got it - A very good chef resides here. We tried fish & chips the first night - absolutely lovely. The second dinner we went for nibbles to start followed by Cod chowder dishes with new potatoes, amazing special fries & fresh peas with asparo. Very good portions were served and all were perfectly cooked. The french wine we chose was equally good. Next time we visit the area we will stay & dine here.

Ambience was nice, food was top notch. Service was a little slow as it was a Friday night and being quite popular they were very busy but we were pleased that they could fit us in for dinner at such short notice and we were more than happy to take our time and enjoy the evening out without feeling rushed. It made a nice change to have a longer pause in-between courses whilst enjoying company and the pleasant surroundings. The panzanella burrata starter was one of the best I have eaten and the tenderstem/gochujang fritter for main course was incredible, rich with flavours and very filling. Loved the cocktail bar, really pretty and cosy place to sit and the cocktails were very nice too! If we are in the area again we will most definitely visit again.

Good atmosphere and good food with really friendly service

Izzy our waitress was pleasant, polite and very helpful.The food was excellent and we would reccomend to our friends.

Just the most beautiful evening with my family celebrating my mums 75th birthday. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. The food was just perfect. Just great memories! A massive thank you to Tina and the team ❤️

Great menu as well as lovely food. Good variety for vegetarians and vegans in particular. All the food is made from scratch which means that even if a particular item on the menu cannot be ordered as a vegetarian or vegan, it can always be made to be! That is why my daughter was actually able to taste her first vegan lasagne and she made sure to eat every bite.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. A beautiful old building near the river. Our food was well cooked and well presented. Staff were great. A bit dark but that's normal in an old building.

Upon arrival at The Silks we were greeted and seated by the landlord, Thomas (Thomas Frake winner of Master Chef 2020) who made us feel very welcome, took our order and advised us on wine to accompany our roast sirloin of beef main course. We were then looked after by Jake. Nothing was too much trouble for Jake. We didn’t have to wait long for our jug of water and wine or for our starters, beer battered prawns and olives which were delicious. Our Sunday roast beef was “melt in the mouth” scrumptious and one of the best Sunday roasts that we have enjoyed in a long time. Our cheese and sticky toffee pudding desserts didn’t disappoint either. Thank you so much to Thomas and Jake for looking after us so well and making our lunch such a relaxed and enjoyable occasion and one that we now intend to repeat very soon.
