The best restaurants serving British food in Calne Central Wiltshire South West

Best roast that we have had in a very long time. Amazing value for money, everything on the roast was cooked to perfection. Staff are lovely and attentive. Great selection of drinks, including Hawkstone lager.

Visited with family on Boxing day for lunch. We didn’t book but called ahead to see if they were doing lunches first. One member of our 4 person party asked for a Beef Burger and another 2 asked for Steak Baguette (advertised on the menu as warm). Around 10 minutes after ordering the lady from the kitchen (assuming the landlady) came and told us there were no Beef Burgers but could have chicken burger and also said that the Lasagne was recommended , which my cousin didn’t want so picked the Ham egg and chips. On arrival of the Steak Baguettes, we were handed a lukewarm steak sandwich on thin white bread which we sent back for a baguette , for the same lady to come out very confrontational to ask if we had a “sandwich/baguette issue” who then blamed it on the waiter who took the order . It was replaced with a cold and stale baguette and salad which had no dressing and no coleslaw as advertised. I was so hungry at this point I ate the steak and left the baguette and salad as they were too dry to eat. While we were there , a larger party came in, ordered multiple burgers and guess what? Yep you guessed it, they had the most glorious burgers arrive at their table, despite us being told they didn’t have any when we wanted just one! The burger was then on the bill when we went to pay the bill - which was quickly rectified by the brilliant bar staff when we told them. Will not be returning to the black horse , we found the lady very confrontational , and hygiene is questionable when she kept returning backwards and forwards and touching the table ,with the same blue glove on! We were disappointed as this used to be a great place for food and drink.
