  “Great gastropub with tasty food and friendly staff in a traditional English setting. Stopped by for lunch on a sunny Friday - our first time here. Beautiful and stylish gastropub in a charming Wiltshire village. Tom (General Manager) was personable, helpful and made us feel at home. Our table was in the stylish courtyard (see pics). Food was great and the fixed price lunch menu fantastic value at 18.50 for 2 courses (light bite option) Starter - 3 jumbo prawns in garlic butter on a toasted focaccia slice (picture shows the last one!). Delicious! Main - Battered haddock and chips - perfectly cooked fish in a very crispy batter acommpanied by great chips, peas and home made tartare sauce. Total bill with 2 large (250ml) glasses of wine - £58. Great value. If you're going anywhere near Chippenham, don't miss it!”

  “We had a lovely stay and dinner here. We have a motorhome and it was a tight entry to the pitches but made it...just!! A lovely old pub with great cider. Staff were so attentive and friendly. Pub also dog friendly. Would recommend this stop over, we have had a lovely experience and start to our trip to Wales. Thank you Tom and team”

  “If you like an Oldie worldly pub then this is the place for you. It’s decorated like a castle with an inviting atmosphere, this carries on with the service, everything is well timed and very helpful. I had chicken supreme which came in a very tasty sauce, the mash was lumpless and the veg was nicely cooked. I also ordered a side of chunky chips which I couldn’t eat so took home, they were absolutely banging even though it was cold later on. The price made it all feel genuinely fair and enjoyable. If you’re reading this - please go, places like this need to be kept alive with your custom. All in all a nice place to spend an evening chatting and eating. And it had parking and seating outdoors👌”

  “We stayed here in our campervan as they allow if you book a table for dinner.The food was amazing with one of the best pies I've ever had. The staff were so attentive and provided a blanket and water for the dog as well as treats. Such a great find we will be going again.”

  “Cannot fault here , stayed overnight in campervan £10 for electric hookup and a beautiful meal in the pub. 24 hr Toilet access. Staff were amazing especially new girl training she did a fab job. The food was out of this world, we had a 3 course and cant wait to come back in 2 weeks to try more of the menu. Mark and Team you've got a lovely pub/resteraunt. Thank You.”

  “Amazing!! We initially went to their sister pub, the Langley tap, but they were fully booked and said their were tables available at the Wellesley Arms. It did not disappoint! Extremely welcoming, incredibly polite and helpful staff. Good banter too 😊 Great knowledge about the difference between coeliac and gluten free intolerance. Awesome gluten free options for starters, mains and puddings. The staff couldn't do enough to make our visit any less than exceptional! Dog friendly too. If I'm ever visiting the area again I will definitely revisit. Exceptional food, service and atmosphere 👌”

  “The staff could not be more friendly, so welcoming and attentive with dietary needs and checking everything is ok with food and drinks. Food is so so tasty, my only gripe would be slightly dry pork on one occasion, had I asked for different I'm sure I'd have been provided. The decor is so classic country pub with stone floors, low beamed ceiling, stags heads on the wall, jazzy wallpaper. The courtyard outside seating space is really spacious, nicely sat in the sunshine, but parasol options, and blankets for cooler weather. It's a wonderful pub.”

  “Visited again and what a difference from my last visit, new owners have turned this place round. Good food and good service. We had one comment regarding the crumble topping and felt we had been listened to. Recommended and we will be back. Oct 23 another nice meal here”
