The best restaurants serving British food in Salisbury St Martin's and Cathedral Wiltshire South West

The food is outstanding. From starters of pigeon breast and fish soup (which we agreed was one of the best dishes we’ve eaten all year anywhere), to duck and pork mains which were delicious and a shared desert platter where the standout was the fig pudding. Wines were great and waitress was lovely. Ignore the reviews about it lacking atmosphere and support what I guess is a chef patron in their first venue - am glad to have experienced it now, was delightful.

Visited the farm shop today for lunch and was very pleasantly surprised. Friendly efficient service and lovely atmosphere. Steak and ale also chicken, bacon and leek pies served with veggie mash and gravy were excellent. Loose leaf tea in a pot was a real treat. Would definitely highly recommend.

We went to this venue for our office Christmas lunch. 50 mins after sitting down I asked a waiter if there was a problem in kitchen as we had not yet been served our starters. The fact we had a time we had to vacate the table made it more frustrating. He investigated and came back to offer a round of drinks. For most of us the food was just ok. However, there was an issue with our vegan colleague, whose meal was extremely disappointing. Overall, we will be going elsewhere in the future.

Had the Pan Cooked Lamb with crushed potato and green beans. It was wonderful. Highly recommended.

Some classic British dishes on the menu, helpful service, and the bar (which is associated with the hotel) has plenty of beers, lagers and wine. Lots of room between the 4 to 5 tables in the main dining area, although I suspect you could eat at tables by the bar. Meanwhile, you’re in a very old stylist building within the Salisbury city centre.

Agree with earlier reviews we had 2 slices of Quiche with a small salad a slice of bread an butter and some coleslaw a coffee and a Diet Coke it was very nice but not worth £35

Fabulous cream tea, beautiful homemade scones. Really lovely welcome & excellent surroundings. Staff very good, dog friendly too. Definitely recommend 😊

We recently visited the New Inn as a family group of twelve for Sunday/Birthday lunch. The booking was made for 12.00 on a Sunday and upon checking the opening time online, I saw that the venue was due to opensat 12.00. As some guests were travelling a distance and the weather was changeable, I thought it sensible to call and check the precise details and what time time we would be expected to sit down to eat. After several unanswered calls and the absence of a functioning voicemail system, I eventually spoke to a staff member and what I thought was a straightforward question, proved quite difficult to elicit an answer to but we got there in the end. At the time the booking was made, we were requested to supply our individual choices as the venue used place settings and the staff would know whose order was whose. In addition, that teas and coffees would be available afterwards. The required names and choices were passed to the venue in good time. Upon arrival, it was apparent that there were no place settings and I queried why. I was told that whilst place settings were used for parties, as we had submitted our choices the staff would know individual's specific choices, so there was no requirement for place settings. The staff member, (E) pointed out to me that she had been in the business over fifteen years and knew what she was doing. I went on to explain my difficulties in communicating with the staff member on the phone and I was curtly told that the individual concerned had been in the business for over twenty years! We sat down to eat at a sticky table. As the food arrived, served by two staff members, (E) and one other. It was clear that (E) knew exactly what people had ordered but her colleague didn't and this caused some confusion. An elderly member of the party was concerned that his beef was not cooked to his satisfaction so staff member (E), took it away only to return it moments later advising that she had inspected it and that was well done! This style of customer service was a new experience to me and in my opinion, more likely to achieve customer humiliation than customer satisfaction! After the meal, I requested to place an order for teas and coffees but was told to my total surprise that teas or coffees would not be available as the venue had no coffee machine.

Such wonderful food! The sausage was one of the most satisfying things I think I’ve ever eaten, and the sauce on the venison trio was outstanding. Zamm was a lovely host. We’re so happy we stopped here.

We out with friends had dinner was very nice fresh love it can come back next time

We had a quick lunch, which was fairly priced. The Mill still has its charactersome feel but there were very few customers. It used to be hard to get a table at lunchtime, whatever time of year, in such a lovely setting. That said, the last time we visited was pre-COVID. We’d call in again.

Never fails to disappoint. Best coffee around. Special Christmas cappuccino with ginger and squatty cream. Try it you won't be disappointed. Staff efficient and friendly

Wonderful service and the first pub that I have encountered In salisbury which I’m sure our foreign visitors will welcome and the. Staff are certainly making an effort to make customers feel welcome well done 👌

Absolutely amazing food. We’re often disappointed when eating out as we’re chefs ourselves but this was pleasantly delicious. We came as a party of 12 everyone ordered different dishes but all were superb. I had the steak which was cooked perfectly to medium rare decorated with a quadrillage and the chips were cooked well (if you can’t get chips right, there’s no hope!) we had a Italian sharing board for starters and the arancini was great. All meals were piping hot, well presented and nicely seasoned. Not fine dining but definitely good food, cooked by chefs that care.
