Rolled up to this pub on a lovely summer afternoon and sat in the garden - very pleasant. There was a fair choice of beer (tho' being hot I had a lager).
Menu seemed comprehensive and reasonable (I had sandwiches with me).
Well worth further investigating.

Used to be a good pub with vibrant, friendly local atmosphere, not so much now. Sadly more interested in diners than drinkers. Service especially at the bar sporadic. However, the only negative thing to say about the food is that the portions are a little over generous. One does like room for desert and a pint or two. The garden is very pleasant in the summer.

Prices have changed over the last year, and this pub now offers some very good value for money meals alongside more expensive options in a very nice atmosphere. The menu is very comprehensive. A lovely country pub, well worth making the effort to find..

yes, good pub and good beer.....but well over-priced, especially the TT Landlord.
Food is good so can get very busy. nice location in quiet spot out the back of Longleat estate....so lots of talk of Lion breeding etc.....

Two anonymous contributors have between them given this pub a rating of 5.0, but couldn't be bothered to explain why. Pity - it's much better than that. The beer's good (I drank the Butcombe), and the food quite surprisingly excellent. The beef in my baguette was some of the tenderest and tastiest I've ever had, and the bread was good too. So were my wife's whitebait (or 'blanchebait' as they rather eccentrically prefer to call it here).
In fact, it's a slightly eccentric place altogether, including the bar staff and some of the locals - but all in the nicest possible way. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming in the public bar; with that, a good log fire, great traditional barroom furniture, and good food and beer too, how can you go wrong?
