The best restaurants serving British food in Wiltshire South West

Great beer and a snack on a Sunday lunchtime

This place probably doesn’t need anymore good reviews but it certainly earned one. Ate here for a long lunch with friends who I hadn’t seen for years so there was a lot of talking and catching up. The place lends itself to that. It is comfortable, friendly, relaxed but the food and the service are absolutely excellent. The owner who was on duty yesterday ( forgive me for not catching your name) couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. He paced his service around pauses in our conversation and made us feel very welcome. He also caught on to the fact we were ex military and upon showing proof gave us a generous discount, which was very much appreciated. We stayed through the afternoon chatting away, and he kindly left us in peace . An absolutely lovely place, thanks for looking after us.

We popped down to Quidhampton for the village fireworks hosted by the White Horse. Absolutely AMAZING evening; Fireworks were fabulous (probably 25 minutes of impressive show), DJ Dion kept the kids entertained at a great family friendly disco event in a marquee, there were sparklers for the kids and the bar and grill were a great addition. Queues were significant at times, but not surprising given the popularity of the event. Having been out of the country for a few years, this was our kids' first proper firework night and its going to take some beating. Thank you Quidhampton and the White Horse, we'll be back!

Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Wiltshire ham and eggs was top notch. Highly recommend!

Very nice pub with a pleasant garden. Pool table at the back and a decent juke box.

Two meals were lovely, however the third was steak which was very chewy.

Had a lovely steak cooked perfectly our server Brooke was very helpful and kind food arrived within 10 minutes overall a very good experience

We came to the dum post for lunch and I have to say the service and the food was top notch. Jessie and Tina were fabulous, they made us feel very welcome and there were smiles and laughs all round. I would recommend to anyone wanting a nice drink or a delicious meal. !!!

We ordered from the festive menu as soon as we were seated at 12:30. We were given the salad bowls straight away. A short time afterwards we received our starters. It was about 2 hours later before we received our roast dinners. Some Tables who came in after us were served and had left before we had been given our main course. Some other tables gave up and left and there appeared to be a lot of complaints going on. Our waitress, Georgia, was rushed off her feet but managed to keep her cool and was extremely polite to us and everyone else around despite complaints of long waits. We felt so sorry for her, it wasn’t her fault and the manager should have been the one apologising. R Gonzalez

Proper village pub, ticks every box.

Unfortunately, this isn’t a good review at all after loving this place for so long. We booked for a Sunday lunch for a table of 3 including our two year old son. I had the pork, my wife had the beef and we ordered a child’s roast dinner. First of all we ordered some drinks which, one didn’t arrive so I had to ask the waitress when it would come. When the food arrived it was immediately underwhelming. The pork portion looked large, but it was mostly fat, and ‘crackling’ was soggy. The roast potato’s were so dry and hard to cut, and the same goes for the Yorkshire pudding. The veg included 1 very small carrot and some dry cabbage. There was a side of cauliflower cheese, this was also disappointing. We paid the bill and left promptly, only to call the pub later that day to ask if there was anything wrong that day with the chef, and to voice our dissatisfaction with what was a fantastic pub. They apologised, but insisted the food is cooked to what they believe the correct standard, they have offered us a refund of one of the meals, however this has yet to be received. I really hope this place improves. It use to be a fantastic place for Sunday lunch. When you go out for food you expect to eat better than you would at home, sadly for this place, we should have stayed at home!

We stayed for three very pleasant nights and dined twice. An attentive manager supported by his young but professional resturant staff enhanced an excellent experience. Obviously with its good resturant grading we expected good food. We got it - A very good chef resides here. We tried fish & chips the first night - absolutely lovely. The second dinner we went for nibbles to start followed by Cod chowder dishes with new potatoes, amazing special fries & fresh peas with asparo. Very good portions were served and all were perfectly cooked. The french wine we chose was equally good. Next time we visit the area we will stay & dine here.

Ambience was nice, food was top notch. Service was a little slow as it was a Friday night and being quite popular they were very busy but we were pleased that they could fit us in for dinner at such short notice and we were more than happy to take our time and enjoy the evening out without feeling rushed. It made a nice change to have a longer pause in-between courses whilst enjoying company and the pleasant surroundings. The panzanella burrata starter was one of the best I have eaten and the tenderstem/gochujang fritter for main course was incredible, rich with flavours and very filling. Loved the cocktail bar, really pretty and cosy place to sit and the cocktails were very nice too! If we are in the area again we will most definitely visit again.

Izzy our waitress was pleasant, polite and very helpful.The food was excellent and we would reccomend to our friends.

Just the most beautiful evening with my family celebrating my mums 75th birthday. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. The food was just perfect. Just great memories! A massive thank you to Tina and the team ❤️
