The Pembroke Arms - Wiltshire

First time visit to this beautiful restaurant as recommended by friends, and the food was superb and exceed expectations of all the party. I also loved the decor and atmosphere

After 4 hours of travelling this place was a godsend! Relaxing interior, incredible food, great and friendly customer service. Thank you so much for making our day a bit brighter!

I was last here five years ago. It was a very special English pub. Now, I am not sure what it is? A pizzeria? A restaurant? High-end accomodation? It seems to have lost its identity. The service was nothing special, whereas it used to be high end. The decor used to be a talking point. Now it is bland The food was excellent. Dare I come back for a Sunday roast?

I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant as friends had been before so took my boyfriend and our friends for his birthday, all the starters were fab, we had scotch eggs (best I’ve tasted), smoked trout rillette and smoked mackerel pate. Mains were burgers, well caramelised on the outside, slightly pink in the middle, very tasty meat so lovely. My sister had the beef pie and I had the chicken, gammon and leek pie, unfortunately when our pies arrived they were lukewarm at best and the pastry was soft not crispy. I asked if they could possibly be heated up and the waitress was very apologetic and said that they would be 15 minutes which was a shame as the boys would be eating before us but I didn’t want to not have a hot meal. Pies arrived for the second time and were hot and crispy. The beef pie was very tasty but the chicken pie to me had a strange flavour the sauce was almost thick and cheesy? Ham/gammon was tasteless so I didn’t enjoy it much. The mash was also lumpy so at £21/22 per pie sadly I was a bit disappointed as was told they are renowned for their home made pies so I was expecting something a bit special. 2 cocktails were free on our bill in lieu of the pies having to be reheated which was a appreciated, but just a shame as it didn’t live up to the hype.

I'd not visited for 2 years with an ex army friend. He enjoyed a good size haddock and chips. I really liked the double burger I was hungry succulent meat nice fries and homemade coleslaw. A scoop of ice cream to finish. Pricy but real class . The front restaurant is sophisticated yet cosy.
