The best restaurants serving British food in Wiltshire South West

Limited opening times so missed it on the first night of our 2 night stay but open the next night. Shame as it was the cosiest, friendliest pub we found. Also dog friendly. Nice garden and modern and cosy inside. Ten minute walk from town but worth it, Mainly locals but welcoming.

Food was delicious and the manager made our evening! Kerrie (sorry if it’s spelt wrong) was brilliant. She was funny, hospitable and nothing was too much trouble. We will absolutely be back! 💖

Absolutely dreadful! Advertised a la carte menu replaced with a 'bar' menu. Took the waiter 15 minutes to bring a menu and ask if we'd like drinks 40 minutes for food to arrive which was not hot. The pork belly my colleague had was wrapped in gooey fat not crackling, the pumpkin sauce was a teaspoon of orange 'something' and the seasonal veg was mashed potato and some peas. The chicken burger was deep fried and tasted of old fryer fat as did the 'tepid' skin in chips. Presentation of the burger was non existent and the two tiny leaves of lettuce were brown. This was fed back to the waiter when he finally returned to our table his response was he'd mention it to the Chef. The after dinner treat of sticky toffee pudding was solid and rubbery, not moist. The tiniest bit of ice cream and a token gesture at the sauce all was tepid. The dining room was cold and drafty. The decor tired and wall paper peeling off the ceiling and walls. Utterly awful experience with nobody interested in the overall shoddiness of the service and food. Really disappointing, especially as this is the closest hotel to work. A real missed opportunity for this Hotel and Restaurant.

The Sunday lunch was faultless. Far more meat than we could manage, but they gave us a box to take home as well as a lot of scraps for the dog! The beef was red and juicy, but Mike will always cook it a bit more for those who like it well done. The staff are welcoming and friendly. I would have awarded 5 stars, for a more sumptuous setting, but that doesn’t put us off. At the end of the day it’s a local pub, which is being well turned around due to Mikes enthusiasm and extremely hard work.

We visited on 24th October. It was a reasonable day regarding the weather and Stourhead was busy. We called into the Spread Eagle at about 1.30pm. Positives - we got a table inside. It had been cleared but was sticky. Negatives- no vegetarian sandwiches on the menu. But to be fair I was offered ham cheese and chutney without the ham. My friend selected carrot and coriander soup. Both meals were awful. The soup was so diluted that it was tasteless. My brown bread was tasteless as was the awful processed cheese slice (who still uses these abominations?). Only the chutney had flavour. Final negative was that I was chased out of the pub and accused of not paying. I explained exactly how I had paid only to be greeted with a shrug and “ok I believe you” - like she didn’t! And on top of that they dare to add 10% service charge.

We stopped here in a cycle ride. The young man at the bar was welcoming but was obviously trying to juggle a lot on his own. Most of us had ciabatta's which were quite honestly under filled. Such a shame as the pub is in a really good spot

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

I am so pleased this incredible cafe is back on its feet again. The service was excellent and a lovely lady served us with a warm smile. The food was good English breakfast and my wife had an omelette. Love the wooden table decor. Loved it.

The food was fantastic. Fresh vegetables cooked to perfection, meat succulent. The chef has the perfect blend of herbs to enhance the food but not overpower the flavour. Great range of beer and cider. The pub was on the side of the canal so plenty to see as well. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Stuffy place with very odd old man making people uncomfortable. He is also very rude. I would not visit again.

I went with my family for an overnight stay at The Bologbroke Arms on 27/09. We checked in mid afternoon and decided to venture to the bar for a quick drink. We enjoyed the ambience and quality of service so much that we ended up staying for food, which was excellent. However, what really sets the Bolingbroke apart is the outstanding service from the team, with a special mention to Jess and co on the dinner service for helping us to enjoy a lovely evening. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Very good lunch, busy but were found a table quickly. Staff we dealt with were all excellent, special thanks to Amelia who recommended the BBQ chicken with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. Will be another addition to our favourite lunch spots..

Quiet campsite with great facilities including washing machine and microwave. Lovely hot showers. Very clean. Games supplied in the snug. Friendly, accommodating, staff and great food. Reasonable prices

We have been dining at the restaurant for years and it has been our go to special occasion place. We recently went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we were really underwhelmed by the menu and the quality of the food. We are vegetarian and there is always a few veggie / vegan menu options, which is always welcome. The starters were delicious and there were a good range of veggie/vegan choices. There were 2 main course options - pasta or a veggie burger. We ordered one of each so we could compare and contrast. The burger was £20 and was absolutely nothing special. It was a commercially made burger in a commercially made bun. It was served with 1 lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato and it looked very sad. I have had way better at Smash Burger. The pasta was ok. Dessert was also grim. The Paris Brest, was dry, solid and tasteless and the knickerbocker glory was a mishmash of cheap tasting strawberry ice cream, fruit and smashed meringue - which seemed to have come out of a packet.

Roast dinners are amazing, we had beef and lamb which the meat was so soft, shame we didn't stay long enough to try the pies.
