“The food was absolutely delicious, great value for money, and the service was fast throughout the evening. Nothing appeared to be too much trouble for any of the staff. We will most definitely be going back and would highly recommend to others.”

“Stopped in for a pub lunch on our way to the west country, easy to get to off A303. Greeted by smiley staff, prompt service and delicious food. My husband was especially impressed by the taste and thickness of the ham in the ham, duck egg and homemade chips. Would highly recommend.”

“What a gem we found! After visiting Stonehenge, this restaurant was just off the highway. Food was amazing, ales were refreshing, and they had an outdoor play area for the kids (which if you have kids, you know that is huge plus). It was a beautiful day out and so nice to sit outside and enjoy a meal. Would absolutely recommend this place for a meal/drink/rest stop!”
