They also support local community events and activities. Toilets are clean and parking is available. I had the best steak and kidney pudding and all the trimmings while my daughter enjoyed the vegetarian menu, vegan options are also available. The Royal Oak is the essence of what a rural pub needs to be to survive these days. Only a mile or so off the A36 but in a beautiful old village. I heartily recommend, but do book early as this is a place sure to be popular with cyclists, tourists, locals and passing trade.

Adorable little restaurant just a couple of miles from Stonehenge. We decided to stop here on our…read moreway from Stonehenge to the airport. When we arrived we were asked if we had reservations and I can see why. The restaurant is very small. Although we didn't have reservations we didn't have a problem and were seated. There is a front room with a small bar and another room in the rear. There is also seating outside for nice days. We sat in the room in the back. Service was excellent here and so was the food. We let our waitress know that we were catching a flight in Stansted and she helped us avoid the traffic around Stonehenge. She was so helpful she actually wrote out turn by turn directions for us. If you're in the area definitely stop by. So glad we came here instead of eating at the cafeteria at Stonehenge.

I have eaten pies, fish and chips and steak and chips. Each meal has been delicious. This visit, as I was not the driver, I could have a pint of beer. There were seven of us who ate and not only did we have dessert, we also had cappuccinos. Their after-lunch coffees are very tasty and round out a meal nicely. Our waitress was super efficient and remembered all our orders even though she didn't write anything down. There is a good-sized car park so you shouldn't have trouble parking. The road outside is a little narrow so drinking and driving is NOT recommended. This is a great place for a family meal or a business lunch.

I've been here twice and I enjoyed each time! Their fish and chips are excellent (that was the…read morefirst time I came here). Honestly, anything on the menu is great! Oh, I took a chance on the arancini not really knowing what I had ordered, but it was fantastic! Great flavors. They have a big parking area and a lovely outside area to eat if the weather is good. Prices are reasonable and the food is great! Don't forget to have dessert! The sticky toffee pudding was soooo good.

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.

You can't really tell from the photo that the fish is a huge portion, so big that I had to share it! Very tasty, too. I could have ordered the small size but knew that I would have the opportunity to share the larger entree. The fries were also very good. I didn't order a dessert but did taste the crumble and learned what a trifle was, as at least two in our group ordered that. Servers were excellent as this was a family reunion meet up, and the servers really put up with our lingering at the table. If you come here, I'm sure that you will enjoy the specials and anything that you eat or drink. P.S. the cider on draft was dry and smooth!
