The best restaurants serving British food in By Brook Wiltshire South West

We stopped for Fish and Chips in Barney at the Fisheries, the fish was absolutely beautiful, but the chips should not have been served, they were certainly not fresh they all went in the bin

Visited on March 31, 2025. You can see the beautiful building in front of the spacious garden even if you don't stay there.

DO NOT RECOMMEND! We unfortunately all became VERY unwell after eating a Sunday lunch here. We all came from different areas to meet at a local pub to eat. Unfortunately after consuming the food we all became very unwell including Vomiting as a result of food poisoning. The pub has handled our case extremely badly and has taken well over 2 months to contact us. Would not recommend eating here unless you would like to become ill.

I booked this hotel for three nights and paid in full in advance. The first night was great — the staff were kind, professional, and everything felt welcoming. However, on the second night, I went to visit another town and returned to the hotel at 10:45 PM. To my shock, the entire hotel was completely shut down. Every door was locked. There was no one at reception, no staff, no instructions, nothing. I had no access to the building I had paid for. I called the police — no answer. I called the hotel — no one picked up. I was alone and stuck outside. After a long and stressful search, I finally discovered that the back door to the hotel was unlocked, and with some effort, I managed to push it open and get back to my room. Once inside, I realized I was the only person in the hotel — no staff, no security, no one. The hotel had zero safety measures, which is completely unacceptable. I am staying here for two more nights, which are already paid for, but I am extremely disappointed and concerned. If anything had happened to me during that time, the hotel would be fully responsible. How can a hotel — especially on a Saturday night — have no one at the front desk after 10:45 PM? And if that’s their policy, why wasn’t I told in advance that I needed to return before a certain hour? There is no communication, no support, and no security. This level of negligence is shocking and absolutely unacceptable.

Excellent food & Excellent service - highly recommend

We went into this pub just for a drink. There were 5 of us with 2 dogs. As we went in I politely asked the woman behind the bar if it was ok to sit round the back with the dogs. She answered with "yes". The most miserable bar person I have encountered! Anyway my husband went and got the drinks and came back with 1 glass of wine, 1 pint of lager, a coke, lemonade and lime and soda. The soft drinks were in small glasses, no ice and were flat. No slice of lime in the lime and soda. The most miserable drinks that matched the miserable bar staff! That round of drinks cost over £20. The table was grubby and so we're the chairs. What a horrible place. Such a shame!
