Our ethos
Wherever possible we buy our ingredients from local farmers and growers. We don’t buy out of season and our menus change regularly to make the most of the fresh crop, local specialities. Our meat is all free range and comes from local farms & butchers. Pork comes from Chris at Downland farm produce where he rears animals in a natural environment. The pigs live happily in natural surroundings all year round. The farm is based on the Wiltshire College Lackham campus, with the butchery being in Melksham. Our other butcher is Walter Rose.
All our meat is traceable to individual animals.
Our fish comes from British waters supplied by Kingfisher, a fishy business based in Brixham, who are committed to a 24-hour port to plate policy.
Free-range eggs come from happy chickens at the Southview Partnerships in Box, Corsham. Dry goods from Ashton Farms, Semington. Our cheeses come from the surrounding area.
All our cakes and biscuits are baked on the premises; gluten free alternatives are available on request. Jams, chutneys, and sauces are made freshly in our kitchens; we churn our own ice cream using West Country milk & cream.
A rich history
The retro Ushers Sign was rescued by a local resident from the bonfire prior to being stored in a residential garage for over 12 years. This classic hand painted sign now stands proud at it's original home, where it belongs.

Local Attractions
Wiltshire has been a special place for a very long time and our World Heritage Site stands testament to the ages. Stonehenge and Avebury have a magnetism that has drawn people to them for centuries. But history in Wiltshire is not just ancient. Roman, Normans and Saxons have all left their mark on our countryside and towns. Come today and you can walk through time. Here in Wiltshire you can touch and feel the past.
On the ‘must see’ list alongside the World Heritage Site is the medieval city of Salisbury with its magnificent cathedral, Longleat and the National Trust’s gardens at Stourhead.
Wiltshire is an enchanted place where you feel close to the earth and the ever-changing big skies. Renowned for our iconic white horses carved into the rolling downs, almost half of Wiltshire is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and there are numerous ways to enjoy our quintessentially English countryside, from walking, cycling and horse-riding to fishing, golf, canal boat trips and more.
Relax with friends and family while sampling our traditional Wiltshire specialties at tea shops, pubs and restaurants around the county. Enjoy a little retail therapy a the designer outlets in Swindon and Wilton or browse the many independent retailers to be found in our charming market towns.
Wiltshire today is calming, comforting and refreshing. A weekend here will help put back in what the rest of the week has taken out. So when you visit you can press pause and let time stand still. What’s more, Wiltshire is only an hour and a half, or less, from London.
Wiltshire is timeless wonders, timeless nature, timeless places and timeless pleasures. Now it’s your time to come and see us. It’s time to write your chapter in Wiltshire’s never ending story.
