The steak was cooked exactly medium-rare, with a proper sear and a decent peppercorn sauce. The side of dauphinoise potatoes was creamy and well-seasoned. That&#39;s what I came for.

Loved the decor here, it&#39;s got that cosy pub vibe without being too dark. The live singer was a nice touch, just the right volume for a chat. My Dalmatian was very happy with the treat too!

The ribs were good, meat fell right off the bone. The chips and slaw were fine, but the portion felt a bit small for the price.

Been coming here for years, and the portions are always just right. Never leave hungry, but never feel like I&#39;ve overdone it either. That consistency is what keeps me coming back with the family.

Darina was so attentive, she spotted a discount we&#39;d overlooked and applied it for us. The food&#39;s always spot on, really flavourful. Got our table for six right away.

Proper British chips, crispy outside and fluffy inside. That&#39;s the highlight here. Got them with my burger and they were spot on. Could have done with a bit more salt, but still a solid choice.

Came on a busy Friday, and they still managed to find us a spot without a booking. The service was really efficient, even with the place being packed. Our server was very friendly and checked in just the right amount. Made for a very relaxed evening.

Rocio was attentive and efficient. The gluten-free pizza was solid, and service was prompt. Good spot for a quick business lunch.

The Indian tapas idea is really clever. I loved being able to try so many small plates. The paneer tikka was my favourite - the cheese was so fresh and the marinade tasted really clean. A nice way to explore the menu without overdoing it.

Had to try the new menu. The grilled octopus with smoked paprika was a real standout &ndash; tender, with a nice char. A bit pricey, but I&rsquo;d come back just for that dish.

The breakfast buffet had a nice selection of fresh fruit and options. They were a bit slow to refill the hot items, though.

Popped in for a quick bite. The Paneer Tikka Pizza was interesting, a proper mash-up of flavours. Kid&#39;s menu kept the little one happy, which is always a win. Decent for a casual stop.

Belle was so welcoming and attentive, really made the evening. She gave us a couple of great recommendations that we wouldn&#39;t have tried otherwise.

Chilled vibe, good service. Food was solid. But the beer selection really stood out. Had a couple of local IPAs I&#39;d never tried before. That&#39;s what I&#39;ll remember.

Popped in for a Sunday roast on a whim - they squeezed us in, no fuss. The roast beef was spot on, really tender, and the Yorkshire puddings were proper fluffy. Just what you want on a lazy Sunday.

Duck and lamb chops were spot on, really tender. Salmon linguine was a bit too creamy for my taste, but the potatoes were a nice side. Decent meal overall.

Popped in for a quick lunch. The staff were really friendly and chatty, which was nice. Food was good, no complaints there. Just took a little while to get the bill sorted at the end.

Nice spot tucked between the cathedral and cloisters. The veggie options are pretty creative. Service was a bit slow though.

One of the oldest pubs in Salisbury. Cosy, with wonky beams and a real fire. Getting a seat is a treat.

Came for a special dinner. The service was really attentive without being overbearing. They timed the courses perfectly, and the staff were genuinely friendly. Food was lovely, but honestly, the service is what made the evening.

A decent local pub for ale. The beer is always in good condition and reasonably priced, which is what keeps me coming back. The staff are friendly too. The food was pretty good the one time I tried it.

We celebrated a birthday here, and the staff went above and beyond, even bringing out a cake with lit candles. The food was delicious and timely.

Loved the old-world charm here. We grabbed a seat outside overlooking the square on a sunny afternoon. The worn wooden tables and the quiet buzz just felt right. A lovely, timeless spot.

Lovely lunch outside on a warm day. The view was a nice bonus. What really stood out for me was the freshness of the ingredients in my salad. The greens were crisp, and the avocado was perfectly ripe. It felt like a genuinely healthy, balanced meal.

Easy to find under the stag statue. The burger was decent, nothing fancy but hit the spot.

The fries were a touch salty for my taste, but the staff was very kind about swapping them out. The chicken itself was lovely and tender. A comfortable spot to enjoy a quiet meal.
