The best restaurants serving British food in Box and Colerne Wiltshire South West

Dined at Hywel Jones for a 40th anniversary and would recommend it to anyone. I had the 9 course tasting menu while my wife had the veggie equivalent. It sounds a lot but all the courses were small but delightfully presented and, over 2-3 hours, we didn’t feel uncomfortable with the volume of food. Service was polite and friendly and waiters and sommeliers took the time to fully explain each course. Ideal venue for a “special occasion” meal.

The staff are wonderful they put on an amazing spread for our after funeral tea. 5 star food delicious. Thank you it made our sad day so much better coming back to your hospitality.

Would give 5 for food, welcome, location, dog friendly. The pub had an oven problem - they even phoned to warn me that some food items would be impossible to cook, but some would still be available. Impressive. My only criticism is that I paid the bill - but did not realise until I got home that 10% service is automatically included. I thought that sharp practice had largely stopped a while ago - but I note that other visitors have made the same comment. It's a shame, because the pub, food and staff are great - and I will certainly return. But the auto addition of 10% should be stopped. Is it a Butcombe Group corporate requirement? Regards Jon

We travelled to go here and after a lovely journey found the restaurant all in all very good lovely trout starter followed by beautiful rare roast beef husband had pork plenty fresh vegetable all served on a hot plate with plenty gravy service was spot on a lovely friendly waiter served us worth a visit

Very good lunch, busy but were found a table quickly. Staff we dealt with were all excellent, special thanks to Amelia who recommended the BBQ chicken with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. Will be another addition to our favourite lunch spots..

Awful experience - website says it's disabled access but despite pre calling to say I'm a wheelchair user ,entry blocked by table of 10 plus. Sunday roast was awful , wet white potatoes and ditto parsnip. Raw cabbage, gristly beef, rubbery burnt Yorkshire all served up on a cold plate. One of us lucked out by choosing a burger and one of us did not, had the veg wellington and went home to be ill afterwards. Same fiasco to get out of the building - move huge table of people. By way of apology a free dish of cauliflower cheese and service charge not added. We are all local folk and will not recommend or put this on disability friendly sites.

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