The best restaurants serving British food in Wiltshire South West

Sadly very disappointed. Had garlic mushrooms to start. Three portions ok but one looked like they'd run out and quickly put some mushrooms in a tasteless soup! Mains ok but one had ham egg and chips which the ham was awful. Fair enough taken off of bill. Was supposed to be a restaurant but exactly same as bar and dogs in restaurant area. A big no no for me. Won't be returning as this was a birthday meal and was not as expected.

A very pleasant dinner experience was had with friends. The food was excellent and was accompanied by good friendly service. Prices were acceptable for the area, and menu choices were good.

Deserves worst rating ever! Place was closed upon arrival. No notice given in advance. Run down outward appearance! DO NOT CONSIDER BOOKING!!!

My first visit to the Cross Keys and one of many to come. Participated in a chivelrous bout for the ages in the infamous premier pool league. Their tap water and ice is unrivalled and even better still, the owner and his family couldn't have made me feel more welcomed. Carvery is next...

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.

Best first and chips I’ve had in years, hands down. Swung by having searched for somewhere local after a job away from home. Perfect chips, amazing batter, proper portion! Can’t fault. What you expect from fish and chips but rarely seem to get these days

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.

We went outside Keele University term time. It was quiet. We got good service. I had the oatcakes. I am a local, and know oatcakes. Visitors (parents of students etc) might be really impressed. I was less so. I am not so used to a few large mushrooms with the cheese. I would suggest slicing them and spreading them all over. The cheese could have had a greater presence too. And maybe a less greasy oatcake. My friend’s fish fingers sandwich was however excellent. Apparently it came with an espresso cup of carrot soup; which I enjoyed. He said it was first rate, and he is a bit picky. We enjoyed a side order of chip. Yes really chips, not fries. So we will certainly return, but maybe try something different.

Great new venture, that has been open about 4 months. I was served by the welcoming Izzie, and had two lovely black coffees and a flapjack. It's early days for the business, so just a small selection of cake at the moment. Plenty of parking, seating inside and out, and dog friendly. WiFi is available, too. As the business grows, it is listening to what customers want, and bacon sandwiches are on the 'to do' list. Cash only at the moment, so take some change. Well done, Izzie! Chris.

Very nice pub, plenty of room to park, really good food with big menu. Staff better than excellent Will definitely revisit soon

Lovely staff, great atmosphere. I gave the food 5 stars but didn't there to be honest. Looked great and was cheap. Great jam night with some hugely talented folk giving their all. Would love to come again though it's unlikely as we live 8 hours away and are only here to see the henge. All the other pubs we visited either lacked charm despite looking beautiful or were lacking something to make them unique. As a pub management couple we loved the effort, environment and atmosphere. You all should be proud. Best pub in Salisbury by a long way.

The food is delicious, the staff are really nice. I've thoroughly enjoyed my meals here.

Love this place, go as often as I can.

Lovely atmosphere, great service and outstanding food taste and quality. Been before and will be back

Abysmal. They managed to give our order to another table, told us that it would be out in 5-10 minutes and after being asked three times after an 1hr and a half they finally realised that they had given it to other people. They eventually let us know and informed us that they wouldn’t be providing any food to us unless we waited another 40 minutes. Eventually we were given a refund. This, however, did not make up for the fact that we were at this point starving. An absolute disgrace on behalf of the staff. They seemed to have no clue how to deal with the fact they had completely failed to provide any acceptable level of service.
