Summary
“This lovely neighbourhood star” – an 18th-century thatched pub-restaurant in the Vale of Pewsey, north of Stonehenge – “goes from strength to strength”: “Guy & Britt Manning don’t just turn out great food, they run a happy place that is as enjoyable for an ordinary lunch as for a special occasion” (and it accounted for numerous diners’ best meal of the year in the current poll). “We would be back more often if it wasn‘t so far away, but at least you can stay the night and enjoy their wonderful breakfasts, too”. Top Menu Tip – “their signature crab tart is as good as anything you’ll eat from The Ritz to Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons”.
Summary
North of Stonehenge, this thatched pub “continues its high standards” and is a “firm favourite” for a widespread fan club who travel to visit it. “It’s a lovely team for whom the food is the star of the show”: “we’ve never had a bad meal and just wish we lived nearer!”. “It looks like a pub, but it’s more like fine dining”.
Summary
“A seriously fabulous al- rounder that’s so much more than a village pub” – Guy & Brittany Manning’s “lovely hidden-away thatched gastropub” is north of Stonehenge, and its convenience to the A303 helps make it one of the most commented-on rural pubs in our annual diners’ poll. “It’s such a great place: the food is terrific, the people are great, and the rooms at the guest house a few steps down the road are idyllic”.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
