The best restaurants serving British food in Wiltshire South West

Amazing for lunch fresh good food friendly service can't wait to try dinner there

Former employee posting: Do not give this company your custom. Employers have refused to pay owed tips and outstanding holiday pay to all staff despite consistent reminders, and are now withholding tips and threatening employees. Tips have not been received by staff since January this year. This was a hard working group of employees who do not deserve to be treated this way. For a pub with expensive pricing the profit is not seen by those doing the hard work.

The only issue with the Hop Pole is - will it get too popular! Nearly mage me not review and keep it to myself! But it has to be recognised as one of the best Sunday lunches I have ever had in a pub (obviously home is different!) From the decor and ambiance to the service and the food - faultless Well Done all involved.

Felt a bit American to me. A big menu, with lots of choice and not too many healthy choices. We ordered a burger, garlic bread and got some fries on the side. The quality wasn't the best overall. The waitress was super sweet and kind. You had to order your food at the counter but they brought it to you.

Very nice pub felt very welcome

We would highly recommend the Old Mill. We were warmly welcomed and had a table quickly prepared for us after another group left. We ate from the small plates for lunch course , and each one was really nice and beautifully presented. I particularly enjoyed the Maple Belly Pork and the rest of our group had the Salmon (equally well presented and enjoyed). The wait time was short and the service and staff excellent. We would definitely return and can highly recommend.

An historic and fascinating location which firmly grounds you in British history. Beers good too.

Recently moved to the village and popped in for lunch on a Wednesday lunchtime with my parents. It was a little quiet but granted it was mid week during the school holidays. Current owners making good progress on revamping the interior and gardens. Waited for food but that’s fine as it was cooked to order, fresh, well presented and tasted great. Quality ingredients with a nice thick egg with orange yolk on my ham and handmade chips more than made up for waiting. As a local I plan to return and hope this village pub continues to improve.

Arrived expecting to find a pub and found it had changed hands two weeks earlier and reopened as an Indian restaurant - we were obviously among the very first customers! We were given a warm welcome, the food was absolutely excellent and the service attentive. I would highly recommend the Goan fish curry, mild and deliciously seasoned.

Visited for our daughter’s birthday meal with the whole family. Food was incredible, could tell it was homemade with a lot of love and care put in. Service was also very good. I wish I’d got the name of the gent behind the bar as he was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Well deffo be coming back! Had a fantastic evening.

Fantastic hosts and gorgeous room, great stay. We visited for a friends birthday party, they had hired the entire pub for the Saturday night so it was closed to the public. We had hired a bedroom for the night and from the time of arrival till we left we were made to feel so welcome. The room, room 4, was gorgeous, so tastefully decorated and had all you needed. We had a great night, the bar staff were amazing, they didn't stop all night, they had a smile on their faces all night and were so friendly. Would hightly recommend this place. Nicky goes out of her way to accomodate everyone with a constant smile on her face. First class Nicky. Xx

Friendly staff, good service and decent food. However every meal came with chips, no other choice. Decor could be improved. Overall nice experience.

Visitó el domingo para un post paseo snack / bebida. Había 6 adultos y 4 perros todos con botas / patas muy fangosas. El encantador equipo nos dio una bienvenida muy cálida y no parecía importarle que habíamos hecho un desastre de su piso! La comida era genial y muy buena relación calidad-precio y llegó muy rápido. Incluso nos dieron un plato de salchichas gratis para los perros. Sin duda volveremos la próxima vez que caminemos por la zona

Had the bavette steak open sandwich and it was AMAZING. Super friendly staff that couldn't be more helpful. Brilliant start to my weekend in Salisbury

Amazing Sunday Roast. Well worth the visit. Camembert starter with Sourdough followed by Roast Beef, massive Yorkshire Pudding, Roast Potatoes, Brocolli and Carrots with a red wine gravy. I chose Pigs in Blankets and Cauliflower Cheese as additional sides. I cannot stress enough how good the roast dinner is. Others in my group chose Roast Lamb, others chose Mixed Roast dinner, every plate was spotless when finished. The serving staff are second to none. Efficient, friendly and very attentive. The setting is gorgeous and I would go back again and again. What was remarkable was that the staff had a full restaurant, full bar and we were a party of 12 who were seated in the Conservatory and we felt well looked after with every request dealt with a smile and genuine desire to help. Bravo!
