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.

I left a £5 tip when ordering as I like to leave something - no one offered to carry my three drinks back to the table, they actually watched me carry each drink one at a time with my little one on my other hip. 2. The disabled toilet was out of order - I know this happens but this should be a priority for them to repair. 3. We couldn't find a table that wasn't reserved, they could see we had a pushchair and simply said it anywhere not reserved rather than try to help us by saying which tables were free to save us traipsing around ten place with the buggy. 4. Cocktails are 241 but they are £14.50 each! This is was I pay in London for 241! Sadly nothing good to say about this venue - we won't be returning unless it drastically changes.

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.

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 pub bit isn't much different than most pubs. Loud music, sports on TV, regulars milling around. Oh, and they have a Star Wars pinball machine.

I had a baked potato and my husband had a veggie burger that he said was one of the best as far as veggie burgers go. Prices are a bit high both for food and drinks, but the atmosphere and cool people make it worthwhile.

If you are a real ale or railway enthusiast you probably know this pub. If you are looking for a…read morereal local boozer, you have found it. No local car park, but very convenient for the train station, with buses passing the door often, this pub has a crib team, cricket team and a football team. It is frequented by real characters and is an honest to goodness pub. As it is a free house a constant array of changing brews is offered. Downtown breweries Quadhop is a regular, and for the lesser mortals Guinness and a couple of lagers are always on tap. Sporting fixtures, royal weddings, and similar events are televised here. English rugby is a real favourite. Adrian, the landlord, has worked here for many years and has recently taken over the lease from Joe Morris who ran it for nearly thirty years. He has a gentle hand on the tiller, and has only added to the quality of the experience with his enthusiasm. Catch the train to Salisbury, explore the city, and sample a few pints or five here before heading back to the station.
