The best restaurants serving British food in Wiltshire South West

ORDER (to takeaway); Shortbread slices, Lrg Cinammon Latte Katsu chicken slice SERVER; Sabia Member of staff seemed new to the location. Even though some may think that being slow in processing and checking the order, aswell as how to correctly put it into till. Could be a bad thing, I would rather have someone take the time to make sure everything was right the first time. Even though there was a queue, the server kept their attention on us. Checking if we wanted the options that came with the latte. A second member staff came out during our visit, so please dont think that the server was left all alone.

Had a lovely stay. Was here to see Joseph Arthur in this wonderful setting. Traditional English pub with fantastic views of surrounding countryside.

Great fish and chips. Have not bought before but having tried it we will be making this our regular place. Very friendly staff and all cooked perfectly. Prices very competitive too. Many thanks

Sorry to say it had gone down hill I am local but now avoid eating there as the lady cook always looks miserable and don’t dare to ask for a slight change on anything because the answer is always no, I’ve been in the cafe business and we did all we could to make people happy. I always had an egg and bacon sandwich at the cafe and when I asked the girl (very pleasant) she sheepishly said no only baps. It could be a great cafe if only they tried harder.

Great steak and ale pie 👍👍👍👍. The choice was limited but on the plus side the quality was excellent. Fish was a little on the small side but tasty.

Great service, amazing food, great homemade cakes on offer, the place is clean, the staff are so friendly and happy to see you, will definitely be stopping in again!

Popped in for lunch and had a lovely warm welcome. We both had the ham egg and chips which was absolutely delicious! Two pints of cider for myself and a pint of lager for the wife. Great stuff!!! Highly recommend.

Not a good night, certainly won’t be returning anytime soon. Thought I’d booked a nice table in the dining room with family for my husbands 70th birthday only to find we were put in the bar as they were holding a quiz night. Had they told me when booking I’d have gone else where. I thought it’s what it is let’s just enjoy and celebrate even though a disappointing start. First order error was my daughter’s wine. Red arrived instead of white. A misunderstanding that was quickly put right so no problem. Then starters arrive. My son & partner only ordered the soda bread with oil & olives. Because the kitchen sent out the wrong item by the time this arrived others had finished their starters and our main courses were ready so they did take this off the bill. Main courses arrive but the béarnaise sauce ordered to go with one of the steaks didn’t. Well finally did but at that point half the meal was eaten so this too was removed from our bill. The service was slow, the quality of the food was mediocre, portion sizes small ( 5 small pieces of calamari on a tea plate at £9,50 ) the cost for what it was in my opinion very overpriced. Definitely I’ve had far better food & service else where. Week previously paid similar price for a meal at The Eastbury Plough. The food there was exceptional so it can be done. On a positive note the barman was apologetic at the end regarding my not having been told about quiz night and also was quick to remove the two items from our bill as recompense.

Having found this pub on a motor home app as a stop over, we called ahead to make sure we could park up for the night. The landlord was incredibly helpful and said yes we could. We had a couple of drinks and some light snacks when we arrived and spent a lovely few hours in the pub garden overlooking the canal. We spent a peaceful night in our motorhomes (our friends came with theirs too). We were made to feel very welcome by the staff and some of the locals. We are totally self sufficient in our motorhomes but the pub said we could use their toilets during opening hours. We would definitely visit again as an overnight stopover and thank you to the landlord for letting us stay in his car park.

I so wanted to give it a 5 but charging a 10% service charge in advance is just taking the Mick. An extra 10 % for a pint poured in the bar, outrageous. I paid more for my beer as a punishment for eating there whereas if I’d just bought a beer and gone away I would been charged the proper amount. However The food was fabulous, the staff were attentive and helpful. I’ll go back again but will order drinks separately at the bar. I’d like to choose if when and how much I’d like to give as a tip. They let themselves down badly with the service charge policy which is a shame as everything else was exceptional.

Liv was amazing and so was sam Michaela, Hannah and saffron. What a great time they made me feel like I was really welcome and nothing was too much trouble and they’ve got great sense of humour which I love And their customer service was wonderful

Our first and much anticipated visit to Bowood for Easter Sunday Lunch. Surroundings are lovely - staff very pleasant and whilst lunch was ok we were left feeling a little frustrated. i If you offer Pork with “puffed crackling & apple sauce” then serve it! I received neither. After requesting crackling - it was just roasted skin - not eatable. Tea /Coffee and petit fours included in cost - but we were then charged for the tea & coffee. A Lack of attention to detail I’m afraid - we really felt uncomfortable having to keep bringing such simple things to the attention of staff. Not sure if we would repeat the 1 hour drive based on todays experience - a shame as we were hoping it would become our new ‘go to hotel and restaurant’

Has been closed for years, it is semi derelict,a great shame as it would be a great place for the village if it would be able to be done up.

Serving the premier inn on the outside of Chippenham, this Brewers Fayre is a place that garuntees to give you a good meal. Despite it being a 'order at the bar' restaurant, the food that is served in this restaurant is exceptionally good. Breakfast and dinner had great prices and the food we were served was delicious. Special mention to Florin and his team who work exceptionally hard to ensure all their customers needs are looked after.

Just visited for a lunch on a Monday afternoon. I had the Katsu Curry and my partner had the steak tortilla. Both were exceptional, hot and full of flavour. The service was friendly and efficient and we look forward to visiting again, many times!!!!!
