The best restaurants serving British food in Marlborough West Wiltshire South West

Mercer's is a great cafe in the up-market town of Marlborough. My friends and I visit several times a year on our bikes and we always get a warm welcome. The food and service is always perfect. But I have a tale to tell! I arrived with my friends and ordered beans and scrambled eggs on toast. When the lady came to serve our coffees she asked if I would like my bread gluten fee, "as usual". I had completely forgotten to mention this and would have been etremely sick a few hours later had I eaten non-gluten-free bread. I will be eternally grateful! What service!! Thank you!

We stayed for three very pleasant nights and dined twice. An attentive manager supported by his young but professional resturant staff enhanced an excellent experience. Obviously with its good resturant grading we expected good food. We got it - A very good chef resides here. We tried fish & chips the first night - absolutely lovely. The second dinner we went for nibbles to start followed by Cod chowder dishes with new potatoes, amazing special fries & fresh peas with asparo. Very good portions were served and all were perfectly cooked. The french wine we chose was equally good. Next time we visit the area we will stay & dine here.

Lovely coffee, great staff and superb food.

Parking difficult Sunday lunch wasn't nice at all .gravy tasted greasy .veg all sitting in water.food only warm.brocoli & sprouts overcooked.turkey & xmas pudding nice

An excellent mid-week meal - fish soup was, as ever, spot-on, followed by really excellent hake - perfectly cooked. Great service too, attentive but relaxed. Rick Stein’s tends to be a little pricier, but it’s worth it.

My wife and I called in for lunch last weekend. The weather was lovely, the staff behind the bar were friendly, the flowers in the beer garden were nice, but unfortunately the food and the wait let it down. My wife opted for Fish and Chips and I opted for their Chicken Kiev. The fish with wife's meal was nicely battered (not too thickly) with nice chunky chips. Then it goes downhill from thereon. Her peas, which were supposed to be mushy, were a dried inedible blob on one side of her plate. However, the issue really came with my meal. To take two dried / breaded chicken pieces, lay a few thin slivers of cheese (presumably cheddar) on top and then place it in a pool of garlic butter with a ramekin of herby chips does not in my opinion a Chicken Kiev make.

I absolutely loved my stay from start to finish, it was just me and the dog. Warm welcome, from reception, swift check in and showed up to my room. I was in the Library room which was so big, spotlessly clean, and a lovely big cozy bed. For a Tuesday night the bar was busy which is always great to see, I sat with two lovely gents on one of the long tables. Great wine selection, and tasty menu and I opted for the Miso Cod, which was absolutely delicious, massive chunky Cod portion with perfectly cooked crushed potatoes and tenderstem brocoli, i could literally eat that dinner every evening. Early night for me, the room is above the bar and you can hear every word spoken below, however as service ended so did any noises and I slept peacefully. Again great variety at breakfast and warm welcome, I would love to return.

Nice enough room but no one turned up for breakfast. Waited for an hour in empty pub, gave up and left.

Probably the most beautiful pub on the Marlborough high street! The flowers are stunning and something you’d expect to see at Chelsea flower show! The team inside are just as impressive! 110% experience. Service and food quality was amazing throughout. If you’re in Marlborough this pub is certainly worth a visit! The managers should be proud of the pub they’re running- it’s a credit to them.

First visit after this lovely pub has reopened, first impressions are good, nice ambience & decor, definite improvement after reopening, that’s the positive, £8 for a pint plus half for a 4.5% local Ale!! That’s a huge increase! Suffice to say that was the only one & no intention of returning to pay that! Step across the road & the same percentage equally nice Ale is £4.75 a pint! In this day & age every penny counts & £5:30 a pint makes this one if not the most expensive pub in town. I’ve given 2 for the decor as it’s really nice inside but sadly won’t be retuning with those prices!
