Seems to be more of a food place, the beer was OK but not memorable.

Interesting to read the comments of Roqwise above - we visited this pub on Sunday 11th August 2013....we too had a most unfriendly greeting by the landlady. The only reason we stayed was that we were meeting family there by arrangement (it looked nice online!). Even on paying our bill at the end (almost £100) her attitude was far from acceptable. We will NEVER visit this place again.

Large pub (several rooms knocked through into one at sometime in the past by the look of it) with a pleasant garden. Nice enough service with pints topped up without having to ask.
BUT: �3.50 for Deuchars IPA? Coutage Best and Directors also on offer. I'd say that they concentrate more on the food side than beer but the menu didn't look cheap. Not sure that I'd bother to return at those prices.

I have literally never had such an unfriendly hosts..Theresa Meaker was rude, abrupt and unhelpful, raising her voice at my 3 year old who had followed me into the "bar" area where I was trying to order my food.. (apparently children are not allowed into the bar- but how else am I supposed to order food, whilst looking after my little boy.) There was literally no one else in the bar area... now I know why!
When I told Theresa that I would not be ordering food from her establishment (on the basis that if the food was half as good as the service, we would all get food poisoning!) She rushed to fetch her 25 stone husband Chris, who squared up me me in front of my 2 children (1 &3 yrs old) My son was still balling his eyes out as we collected our belongings and left to find a more suitable place to have a relaxing lunch on our short break to Salisbury...
Advice:- Steer clear of this place- there are much nicer places to eat in Salisbury, and the owners are just not nice!

Nice pub with a good atmosphere. Weird though, sometimes empty then all of sudden full to the brim.
Real ales are pretty good but not really the ones I like. Nice enough though.
|
Very nice indeed, good range of beers, cracking garden and pleasant staff. Not my side of town, so only just discovered it, but will be back in - really recommend it.

What a nice pub! Popped in just for a pint. Selection of ale was a bit disappointing with only GK IPA, Courage Best and another National, but the Greene King was not bad. Food looked good but a bit pricey - e.g. �9 for the Sunday roast.

An adjunct to earlier review:-
The chinese takeaway immediately opposite, Wongs, is bloody brilliant.

If you're tall and have freely imbibed either here or elsewhere in this great beer city, you'll probably get an early headache in here. Lots of unpredictable low beams and ceilings, all just aching to make painful contact with your head.
The staff are nice here.....

This is one of the best all-round pubs in Salisbury. The food is by far the best pub food in Salisbury - fairly priced - and the pub gets busy at the weekends. The beer isn't cheap but where is? The staff are very friendly and the decor etc. is very pleasing. The garden is ideal in the summer - outdoor heaters for the colder nights. Really top drawer.

Don't beleive what it says; walked across Salisbury to eat as it says serves food till 9.30 (prominently). Got there at ten past, asked for the menu, told the kitchen was open; ordered drinks while looking at the menu and asked for them to be added to the bill, told ok, given drinks, then told kitchen was closed, and that they have been doing that for 4 years! They then didn't seem to understand why I was annoyed!!!!!
