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

We do not know the city, had just arrived at 8pm and literally walked into this restaurant as it was the first we came across that was not a chain and looked like they really cooked. We had a nice welcome, but the lighting is overhead, spots set into the ceiling, providing a very harsh uncomfortable light. It was like eating in Lidl. Small rechargeable table lights would have grabs this rest. Food was wonderful- especially the trout starter. Unfortunately the waitress with all the good will in the world was not trained and did her best but was just not professional. Sweet yes, but a restaurant of this calibre and price needs professional staff, not sweet staff.

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.

So welcoming and made room for us when we. A party of 5 adults, 2 dogs and a baby got turned away everywhere else. Thank you

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

Came here for lunch. Was a lovely place to sit and the staff were lovely but the food was really poor. We both had a ploughman’s but we would have been better ordering a ham or cheese sandwich as we would have received more! Very small portion for the price and with stale bread and thin ham

Pop in here for a few beers with friends. The atmosphere was good and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Good food and drink at the venerable establishment. The surroundings are extraordinary, a survivor from a time long past. No level surfaces, one walks uphill across the dining room upstairs, and care needed in the stairs after a couple of pints. Food very tasty - quite venison centric. Beer well kept and the wine list has interesting variety.

Amazing good food warm welcoming staff the beef rib is fantastic I order it every time and I swear it’s fantastic every time I wish I could cook the beef rib like they do!

Fantastic place to stay with great food and beers staff can't do enough for you

The shop, though small, has a variety of delicious-looking pastries. The Cheese & Onion pie is really good, and it is given in a paper wrapper - simple to enjoy while you explore Salisbury. There are also public benches in the little square next to the shop.

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 👌

I visited Friday 11th October to a very busy bar. My server was John who was quick, prompt and friendly… Will definitely be back and recommend.
