The Pembroke Arms, Fovant

Very Impressed we went whilst passing through the village on a Thursday Night which seemed to be their Theme night. This particular Thursday was Steak night and wow what a steak, choice of two courses for �17ish of which i had a stilton bacon chickory salad then a steak to die for and the deserts were amazing. We went back the following week and it was Fish Night, well true to form it was utterly brilliant and no sight of chavy staff as alluded to in another review. As pub grub goes this place is great and the everyday menu looked enticing now on our regular visit list!

The Crown Inn, Salisbury

Well I don't know if the Crown Inn has changed hands since the previous reviews or maybe the B-team were on duty last night, put simply this place was terrible. The "Sunday menu" was excatly the same as the chefs specials but priced slightly differently and included a chicken korma with rice and prawn crackers, when ordering the staff had no idea what was on these menus. Two starters came promptly and the other two came 10 minutes later, we were the only diners at this time! Main courses were edible and thats all I can say other than they didn't seem to be freshly cooked more like reheated. Waited 10 minutes for plates to be cleared then no desert menu or coffee offered to us, went to the bar to pay and checked the prices against the two menus to be told by barmaid "you can pay the higher price if you want" If we hadn't been celebrating a Birthday and wanted to have a hassle free night i would have argued and walked without paying! PS this was just the tip of the iceberg.
