The best restaurants serving British food in Holt and Staverton Wiltshire South West

Had dinner with family here at the weekend. Internally the pub/restaurant is very nice warm and welcoming. Menu looks good and prices are fine if the quality of food matches the price.Unfortunately we did not find that to be the case.Its certainly not Michelin standard in my view. Portion sizes particularly starters and desserts are small.Two of my party wanted to try the ice creams for dessert.....a scoop is £3 which is pretty average but the scoop was not much more than teaspoon sizes,smallest we have ever seen. The mains were ok but nothing very special. Overall it was nice and thats being kind. Would we go back.....no.

This used to be a great place for lunch or tea in the Courts Garden in Holt. Sadly it is now closed. A great loss. The only problem with it was that it was too popular and one sometimes had to wait for a table.

Deserves worst rating ever! Place was closed upon arrival. No notice given in advance. Run down outward appearance! DO NOT CONSIDER BOOKING!!!

Great new venture, that has been open about 4 months. I was served by the welcoming Izzie, and had two lovely black coffees and a flapjack. It's early days for the business, so just a small selection of cake at the moment. Plenty of parking, seating inside and out, and dog friendly. WiFi is available, too. As the business grows, it is listening to what customers want, and bacon sandwiches are on the 'to do' list. Cash only at the moment, so take some change. Well done, Izzie! Chris.

A very special pub with superb food and laid back friendly service. Great drinks selection and a roaring fire made the evening even better. We all enjoyed our meals so very much - from the pigeon wellington to the chicken burger, faultless throughout. Definitely recommend!

Sunday lunch - After arrival we asked to order our food as we knew what we wanted, were told to wait as kitchen did order in batches ? After ordering we waited over 45 minutes for a meadocre meal to arrive , good choice of veg small potion of lamb, roast potatoes were not crunchy , they were like the ready prepared ones. Unfortunately we won't be returning!
