The best restaurants serving British food in Wiltshire South West

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.

2nd time we have been back to J K's bistro and it did not disappoint, relaxed atmosphere, the gentleman that served us could not do enough for us and we were a bit picky Great varied menu with different things on you do not see in other places around, prices reasonable., friendly staff. Will be back !

It’s rare I have a roast dinner when I’m out for Sunday lunch. Too often they disappoint and I’m left wondering what makes my mums or wife’s so much better. No here though. I’ve been twice, and between us my wife and I have tried four different meats. All have been full of flavour, tender and generously portioned. Great spuds, massive yorkshires and rich, tasty gravy too. Proper comfort food, I’d challenge anyone to leave unsatiated. The pub itself is cosy and unpretentious and run very efficiently by a polite, friendly and welcoming team of staff. Having ticked off the beef, pork belly, chicken and venison we’ll be back soon to get the lamb and nut roast and collect the set!

5* service. Best fish & chips in Wiltshire. All the negitive Nancy's reviewing are either not genuine or just out to cause trouble.

We live on the south coast and booked due to reviews and dog friendly. When we arrived accommodation was in grotty looking buildings overlooking old tables, bins and concrete car park. No lights on and one cat! Proprietor was short with my husband when showing him round. Cook came out to eat complete with 2 beers and a dirty apron. She sat at outside table. Husband said inside pub was taken over by huge TV showing football. Who writes these positive reviews? We did not stay and drove home.

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.

Lovely location, excellent service, good value for money..will be returning..

We didn't eat however the service was great. We sat outside and they came to us to order beers. Doesn't happen in many places these days

We loved it here, the beer garden was lovely and the lady behind the counter was fab so, friendly and chatted and plenty of games for our 5 year old

Great Sunday lunch for 8 will be going again.
