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

Beautiful lunch with friends today and such a warm welcome. We all had fish dishes which were beautifully cooked and presented, and the rhubarb pavlova dessert was to die for. Looking forward to the next time

Really lovely pub with great food, beverages and and awesome view

I had a great experience from the start. The staff were welcoming and polite. The food was of a great standard and a competitive price. We went for the adults carvery which is fresh off my hot counter similar to Toby Carvery and the kids had a kids carvery. Please see my menu photos for further costs. The entrance is wheelchair friendly and they have the correct facilities to match. Definitely will be going again

Not the best roast dinner,for such a high price i would have expected better quality.roast beef was like leather,the scotch egg with black pudding was nice tho.wouldn’t eat there again unfortunately

This pub is the best find in Wiltshire, support local independent pubs. Their Roast was outstanding we were made to feel so welcome and relaxed, we would love to see them again next year 😊

A great Sunday lunch today - the roast beef was fabulous and the dark chocolate and tangerine mousse along with the gelato ice creams, were superb. Very friendly and attentive staff. Thank you for looking after us today 👍

Booked lunch during February half term for four (inc my elderly Grandma). Sat in the library and after a few minutes grabbed a drinks menu. I was told someone would come to take our order (bar completely empty) but no one did. I asked at reception if they would take our coats and we were glared at. Would it kill anyone to smile and say hello and goodbye? After 15 minutes we went to se what was happening only to be told they did not have one of the drinks. When we asked what a suitable substitute would be they appeared confused and had very little knowledge. No menus were offered. We were not ushered to our table. Extremely limited menu and the children’s menu seemed preferable but prices inflated. Nothing I couldn’t have cooked better myself and the portions are absolutely tiny. Hardly any atmosphere. Service was very slow. Crumbs on the table when we arrived. No one asked us how our meal was once we had been served, staff wandered around aimlessly. We have been to Bowood several times now as my Grandma likes it but have grown tired of it now and hoping that things will improve which they never do, we will not be returning. It has really gone down hill, not worth the money

A lovely friendly pub with quality pub food. A few different things on the menu with a Nepalise influence. We have had a couple of lunches here and have found them to be the best pub food we've had in a long time.
