    Great classic English Pub with a nice food upgrade. Very good beer, thatched roof, neighborhood…read morepub. Nice garden where the locals bring their dogs and have a pint. Tuscan pork and bean stew (outstanding!), chili with chunks of real steak, first class fish and chips. What more could you want!?

    Well, where to start . . …read more I found this place by accident when I was doing my articles to qualify professionally in Salisbury, by sheer good luck I took rooms just a few yards away from a pub I had unknowingly driven past a hundred times - it is - it really is - well hidden. Once I found it I practically moved in . . .. This pub is located in the tiny hamlet of Netherhampton - just outside Salisbury in Wiltshire. If you are in the area - eat here! It is a chocolate-box cover thatched pub - all oak beams, real fires and horse brasses. The beers - ever changing - are kept in such fine condition that they have won awards (plural) from CAMRA. Their lagers are - well - lagers (enough said) if you're in this pub drinking lager you've missed the point utterly. However - their ciders (and I'm thinking Black Rat in particular) are first class. If you want a drinking pub you can't go wrong here However . . . their food . . . is . . . sublime. Now don't get me wrong they serve pub food. You won't find some sort of Cordon Bleu stupid pretentious nouvelle cuisine here. But you will find things like sausage and mash with sausages made from local wiltshire pork with REAL mash made from real spuds. The ham and eggs are made with ham from the local farm simmered in Black rat cider for four hours then roasted slowly and served with eggs from the hens next door. Their Jambalaya Gumbo and Cassoulet are beautiful creations scratch made by their chef (and she really is from New Orleans!!). But - and I challenge you: try their chilli. Normally Chilli is a dish that is best avoided at all times - its usually made with left over roast beef from the Sunday roast or it's just minced beef with tomatoes and hot stuff. This is different - this is real chilli, real steak - in chunks, whole tomatoes braised to a vermilion syrupy sauce ignited with fresh scotch bonnet chillis. The other chef, Taylor (the boss's son), has made this his signature dish. Now listen up: I hate chilli - it's usually secondhand, second-class, reheated muck that I wouldn't serve to my dog. I NEVER order it when eating out - with one exception - the V&A. I regularly travel from my home in London down to Netherhampton just for lunch, and if I'm to be honest, I order one of their fabulous pub meals and get them to pack me a serving or three of their chili to take back home. Great beer, great food and great hosts. I know of no finer pub in England (that hasn't stopped me looking you understand . . .) One more thing, dogs - even three-legged ones - are welcomed. Oh yes - forgot to say - you'll find a picture of it among my photos.

    We stopped in for one more drink before turning in for the night…read more This was suggested by our sever from dinner at the News Cafe. Ox Row Inn is located conveniently in the main central square area, so we also got to see cute bits of the town on our walk there. It was cozy and inviting inside, very "ye olde pub" feeling. The upstairs dining rooms were enchanting looking. We each got a drink and found a table without a reserved sign on it (they had pub trivia starting about an hour and a half after our arrival, but almost all tables were empty but reserved...I am still wrapping my head around the reservation thing at pubs!) and settled in to enjoy our drinks. A cider for my Fella, and a spritzy cocktail for me. Both lovely. We considered staying for trivia, but were just too tired. I started finding myself annoyed at most pubs and restaurants we went to where the mens toilets were on the ground floor, but the womens were up or down a flight of stairs or more. And the womens toilets here are upstairs and well away from the main area. It was so empty upstairs, I almost thought I was in the wrong place, too. We kept getting strange looks from another patron which made us speed up finishing our drinks and leaving. Despite being Americans, we were not being loud or doing anything other than chatting having a drink, but it was really strange and made us a bit uncomfortable. So we downed the rest of our drinks and went back to our hotel. I did like the general feel of this place though and it would likely be a nice place for a meal.

    Great food great service good beer fantastic location would recommend to anyone visiting Salisbury…read morethere's a market outside the Ox Row Inn on Wednesday and Saturday well worth a visit

    This is a very picturesque Greene King-owned pub smack in the middle of the historic town of…read moreSalisbury. Ideal for a lunch or early dinner before/after a visit to Salisbury Cathedral, the town's signature tourist attraction. It's also just a 7-8 minute walk from/to the train station (en route to/from the cathedral). It almost looks like a pub in the countryside, thanks to the the extensive lawn/garden in front of the building, which includes a nice outside seating area. The pub inside is both large and attractively designed. The people who created this made extensive use of the original building. The menu resembles that of a JD Wetherspoon pub, minus the club deals. The food is a little pricier (and I do mean: a little) - but, in my case (mixed grill), also a bit tastier than the one you'll get at your average Spoon. There is a large bar, also reminiscent of JDW, at the heart of the building with its two floors. As usual, the whole range of alcoholica were available, though some beers were sold out. The staff were friendly, if not always competent (the question whether the mixed grill, like the steaks, was also entitled to the UKP1 for a pint of beer upgrade, caused a bit of a kerfuffle. It was decided that only steak dishes can be coupled with UKP1 beers, but since those included only Carling and Fosters, I wasn't too unhappy ("I cannot be caught drinking a Fosters" was my precise comment). The food arrived after about 15 minutes, everything was well prepared, the steak, chicken breast and gammon of good quality. Because of the earlier discussion they offered me an extra egg e.g. for my grill, but it was filling without it already. Too bad they forgot the sausage with the mixed grill though. I would recommend this pub to visitors of Salisbury for its pleasant location and decor, and its very decent food at competitive prices.

    The place looks promising but the service was not great. The Fish and Chips were decent and it was…read morenice to watch some sports but nothing was as good as we hoped. This place does have an interesting story attached to it, which was cool.
