  “Some of the best food in Wiltshire, and an excellent Sunday roast (choose from beef, lamb, pork, turkey).The owners are lovely and staff all very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend a visit to this dog friendly traditional country pub.”

  “Burger we had was one of the best we've had in a long time. Service and other customers/locals were friendly and welcoming. Great experience especially on a crazy traffic day after bad accidents and truck breakdown 🙃”

  “What a great pub! The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, the staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is just stunning (great portions too!). The menu is always a bit different but their "classics" are always present, like the gluten free fish and chips. Plenty of gluten free options by the way. Just wanted to add that one evening I wanted to pick up some delicious halloumi fries for my pregnant partner who was craving them at home, but I waited too long to order them and the kitchen was already closed. When a friend mentioned it to the staff they went out of their way to make them for her anyway and even added some extras. I love this pub and it is definitely my go-to pub for food, atmosphere... everything!”

  “I ate at the New Calley Arms yesterday with some friends who were visiting the area after hearing many rave reviews about the food - and we were not disappointed at all! The food portions are very generous and the quality of every single dish was outstanding. There is clearly a michelin starred chef hiding in the kitchen somewhere, and his efforts are upheld by the extremely friendly and attentive staff who waited on our table. My friends said they want to come here every time they visit and bring their parents next time. How is it possible that a small pub leave such a big impression?”

  “A gem of a find, brilliant, friendly, helpful service. The food is beautifully presented and of an outstanding quality as well as being delicious. The pub is cosy and welcoming and the locals friendly. A couple of well kept real ales. The location is in a charming village between Swindon and Marlborough. We stayed overnight in their carpark in our motorhome and had the option of an electric hook up and the hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this pub, it ticks all the boxes for a brilliant destination.”

  “Having just moved to Wanborough three days ago, today was my first proper Sunday in the village and I couldn't have chosen a better way to spend it. After a bit of research and reading through local reviews, The New Calley Arms kept coming up, so I decided to give it a try. From the moment you walk through the door, the atmosphere wraps around you. Cosy, warm, and genuinely welcoming the staff made me feel immediately at home, which means a lot when you're still finding your feet in a new place. Then came the lamb roast. The presentation alone was a 10 out of 10 a beautiful plate that looked almost too good to eat. Almost. The taste was absolutely phenomenal; every mouthful confirmed this was the right choice. It's the kind of Sunday roast that sets the bar for everything that follows. This is going to become one of my favourite restaurants, and I've only been in the area three days. High praise indeed. Highly recommended. Mara”

  “We came to The New Calley Arms for Easter lunch and we were seriously impressed! The Sunday dinner and biscoff cheesecake was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere of the pub was also so lovely - it had a really cosy and relaxed vibe and we were made to feel right at home! Highly recommend and we will certainly be back!”

  “Well, what a real treat, really great tapas and great chesecake. And we sheard the table with a giant carrot 🥕, a birthday present to Jess, a super nice and happy manager. Recommend a viset.”

  “Despite living in Swindon for many years this was our first visit. Why have we never been before?! The welcome we received from the young lady was extremely warm and friendly, we were even offered a bowl of water for our dog, how kind! We went on tapas night, oh my goodness, the food was absolutely delicious, there was so much to choose from, and a £6.50 a dish or 5 for £30 it was great value. The chimichurri sauce was absolutely delicious. The young gentleman serving our food was also really friendly and helpful. Great pub, really friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, we can't wait to go back!”
