The best restaurants serving British food in Wiltshire South West

If I could give 0 starts for service I would. Good Friday 2025 , the cafe wasnt busy - yet it took 45min for 2 coffees and a stale bun. The "senior" ladies serving didnt appear bothered by the the long wait - infact they had plenty of time to chat to friends and family in the cafe. In the end my wife went to the counter to discover the drink awaiting service. Tescos - this is NOT the way to run a cafe. I wont be returning...

We had a weekend away in our camper and ended up here served quickly reasonable prices great location with great three tiered garden. Bit off the beaten track though. I don’t know why it has a slew of bad reviews, we thought it was fine 👍s up from me

We’ve been here a few times in the past year and it doesn’t get any better, we put the first time down to an off day but it seems like every day is an off day! The atmosphere is dull, the tables and chairs are crowded and dirty. You could eat a meal with the amount of food left in the ‘cleaned’ high chairs and on the floor. The food is uninspiring and the staff give the impression they really don’t want to be there (one chap at till just walked off from doing our order because he seemed a bit overwhelmed with a few drinks) The tables are dirty too, it just needs a bit more care especially when it’s a place that charges over £5 for a toasted teacake!! Which is nearly twice the price of other places. I think Whitehall have fallen into the trap- of resting on their laurels, relying on their past achievements and reputation and have stopped trying to maintain their previous standards (this goes for their various seasonal events too) . It all seems a bit greedy and lazy, the fact they haven’t improved the dreadful overflow car park in years speaks volumes too!

Over priced coke £3.59 coffee terrible not sure how they justify price of a tin of coke meals, average fairly expensive .

This is long overdue. This cafe is my 'go-to' Warminster local and unlike some other reviews I've always found it spotlessly clean. Best of all is the value for money, the service - especially from Abby and the gentleman whose name I have forgotten. Halloumi and avocado on sourdough - what's not to like? And over Easter when feeling a bit down, I was treated to a complimentary coffee (they can do this occasionally apparently)... really made my day. The staff are swift to remember regulars and - along with the shopping (great selection for GF and organic picky folk like me!) - I like it very much.

As I’m a northerner Harry Ramsdens is very close to my heart,so when I visited the one in Swindon I was a little apprehensive about what they would serve up. It was all superb,and the staff were so friendly as well. Definitely worth a visit.

The options for lunch was I dismal winter soup or a sausage roll. £30 we had the worst sausage roll I have ever tasted. What a waste.

I stayed here for a couple of days and this is still my most favourite place. The food is out of this world. There is nothing gluten free the chef cannot make for me that does not taste amazing.

I've been going to this chippy for the last 25 years on and off but its decline is shocking. Overpriced, Mushy Peas came in the smallest of containers, I mean one table spoon portion for £1.75, criminal. Fish and Chips are greasy and the fish was tiny. Unfortunately this take away used to be cracking so not sure whats happened. Cash only has become the norm for these places but used to accept card. As a Yorkshire man I can honestly say this meal was the worst Fish and Chips I've ever had. Avoid and save your coin and go to the Royal Wootton Bassett high street to the China Chef, or Harbour take away.

Pub was empty, waiter/landlord still insisted no prams as it blocks pathways (plenty of space). Food arrived cold, “vegan” menu was unflavoured potato curry. Held off this review for 2 years but I had nightmares again.

Misrepresentation. Cheap, but the room is light years ahead of what we booked through the website. The images are really, REALLY not representative! The room smelled bad, the bathroom is from the 60's, there is mold and the shower has no pressure.

Our table was in the bar area but situated near the entrance so kept getting a draft on me. We had to order from the bar and pay before we had the food. Was not very comfortable in the chair. When the food came it had the gravy already on it we might not like gravy was not given the choice. The knife I had was bent pretty useless for trying to cut the meat. I will say the food was lovely and very tasty. Not one of the servers bothered to see if everything was OK with us as usually happens when out for Sunday lunch. I would have like to have had the chicken but it was basically half a chicken and I did not want to spend ages getting the meat off. Great chef

A great cafe and friendly staff with a fenced off dog exercising area. Also had new, very clean toilets. Nice little stop off point.

Stood waiting for my order for 20 minutes only to be told that they hadn't started my order because the batter was no good. Appalling service.

Food is good, head chef (alcoholic?) could do with less attitude though and show a bit more appreciation to her guests. An old grumpy man interrupted our dinner talking about the state of the country - very rude and put a downer on the overall experience.
