Nice pub with great cozy atmosphere and yummy food! Service was friendly and attentive. I had a simple burger and chips, they were great! Located right next door to the parking garage with a discount if you show your parking ticket.

Avoid at all costs…. Shocking!! Told no availability later than 6pm as busy so booked early. We were then the only table being used in whole restaurant for food 🍲 Turns out chef/ cowboy/ manager fancied an early night as he’d left site by 7:30 when we decided that enough was enough so needed to complain. Although he was seen hiding in the upstairs areas from the garden, clearly to embarrassed to front up for the dreadful food he had just produced. Instead left it to his front of house colleagues to apologise and completely agree that the service had indeed been terrible. Had to reorder 3 times due availability issues not described when we sat down. To be fair starters were good and we though that the worst was behind us… How wrong we were. These are not Wetherspoons prices but would have still complained if they were, kids food was ok and the liver and bacon was passable. The rest was bloody awful. Decided to complain but informed manager / cowboy / chef had left site. Not true as seen from garden in his upstairs window. Bar staff were rightfully embarrassed and even had a joke with me about calling the police if my suggestion about paying for drinks only and nothing else was agreeable. Front of house team obviously destroyed and demoralised by working is such a poor environment, it’s hardly a surprise that they give off the impression that they don’t give a shit… This is poor leadership form the manager hiding upstairs claiming to be a chef and leaving his team to cary the can. Please do not make the same mistake as we did. AVOID

Had a quiet lunch here on a Friday. Good service plus a discount off the bill for parking in the multi storey opposite. Good selection of food options

The pub itself is quite nice,however I ordered the liver and bacon. One of My favourite meals. When it arrived to my shock horror the liver was still raw and bleeding inside. The bar staff said ' o that's the way he cooks it' again shock horror. I explained that there should never ever be blood running out of the liver. I was asked did I want it well done, yes please was My answer. When it came out the second time still bleeding it put me right off so Needless to say it never got eaten. The staff were very kind and didn't charge me for the meal. My husband however had a lovely meal and enjoyed his.

Never visited before but definitely will be going back. Traditional pub in the historic buildings of Sailsbury. Welcoming atmosphere, warm and cheery pub. Great menu, traditional hearty food which tasted just as good and at reasonable prices. Well worth a visit.

Hi Wig and Quill. Just wanted to thank you and say what a wonderful meal and time we had on 27th Dec. We were a party of 15 and were catered for very well even two children. The pub had a comfy and welcoming feel and the staff were lovely. We will certainly visit again. Pauline Bonito and families 😊

Visited briefly whilst staying in Salisbury to see stone henge and I can honestly say the most polite staff I’ve ever come across. The welcoming atmosphere was the best I’ve seen and the prices were not too bad either. Would highly recommend.
