The best restaurants serving British food in Chippenham Hardens and England Wiltshire South West

We were staying in Chippenham and looking for a decent place to eat. We happened to see this pub and looked at the excellent reviews online and must say that the praise given here is very well deserved! The pub restaurant is spotlessly clean and the menu has something for everyone. The staff were attentive and there to ensure that we enjoyed our time. The food was tremendously good and the portion sizes are generous. There is a great selection of drinks on offer and the overall prices were reasonably good so there our experience was totally positive. if only every restaurant was like this! Thank you to all the staff for setting such great standards. An excellent little find so please be sure to book in advance.

Visited the packhorse to meet a mate on a Friday after work. Pub was busy. Lots of happy people just enjoying the place. Log burner, dogs, pool, Guinness, snacks, great staff. Felt like a large, communal front room. People there for a birthday party all in fancy dress and singing. It was good. 4 stars only because the entrance is freezing cold and teeming with mould. That said, a lemon-scented marble entrance hall wouldn't fit at all. Glad I went and would definitely go back.

We were recommended the hotel by a friend. It was easy to find and fairly central in Chippenham the room we had was excellent, it’s an old 17th century building so has the creaks and conditioning of a building of its age , breakfast was easy and varied having a buffet / help yourself style . even as old as the building was our bathroom was modern and well presented. Had a swim every day , the gym attached had all the usual equipment, would recommend again, the staff were pleasant and helpful
