The best restaurants serving British food in Melksham North Wiltshire South West

A friend and I had the champagne afternoon tea on a Saturday and it was a really lovely afternoon with great service, tasty food and relaxing surroundings - we'll both recommend to others. There were many more guests or day visitors in the hotel but as there's a range of reception rooms, it never felt remotely crowded or noisy. We had the standard sandwiches/scones/patisserie but we noticed others with variations so it seems that dietary needs can be catered for easily. Wide range of teas and plentiful hot water top ups. An all round great experience.

On our way back from a trip around southern Wiltshire we called in here to look around at home furnishings, clothing, kitchen equipment and garden supplies et al. We wandered around for a good hour before visiting the first floor in-store café, where we enjoyed a passably-good Americano coffee with hot milk. Sadly the coffee lacked strength and richness, and there was no bitter taste (the latter is often a good indication of quality coffee beans). The coffee served was satisfactorily hot and in good sized cups but my Partner and I have had better elsewhere for £2.85 a cup.
