The Royal Oak Inn, Great Wishford

I had originally set out visit a pub in Wylye but found it to be closed so I headed towards Salisbury and took the turnoff into Great Wishford having noticed a sign at the side of the road advertising the Royal Oak. I'm very glad I did!! A friendly welcome from the barman, a selection of 3 real ales from Youngs, Palmers and Harveys and an interesting chat with the landlord who, like me, loves his fishing.

Great cosy feeling to the place, 2 fires and soft jazz/swing music in the background Interesting food menu with handwritten special boards tempted me but I was having dinner cooked for me later so will eat on my next visit. They advertise themselves as being dog friendly and indeed there were 3 well behaved pooches and their owners enjoying their lunches. Definitely one to come back to...... soon.
