Silks On The Downs

Lunch today for 4 at this lovely pub. Our first visit and we were very pleasantly surprised at the friendliness and welcome from the volunteer staff. Our waitress Lindsay was charming and helpful and did a wonderful job, especially considering this was her first day as a volunteer waitress. The food was fresh and delicious, the minute steak, fish and chips and BLT on sourdough were all fantastic. All the people we met there were lovely. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Visited this community run pub on the last day of our stay in Wiltshire. The pub is run by locals and currently all employees except the chef are volunteers. This did not impact the fantastic service and the warmth of the people that run this place. Food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed every plate. Highly recommend this place as a must visit if you are in the area.

What an amazing welcome! Greeted by a lovely young lady, with a beaming smile. Gave name for booking and she was immediately aware of our group. Staff attentive at every point of our stay. The 4 stars are just pickiness. Chose halumi burger in toasted brioche bun - would have liked outside if bun to have also been toasted *and warm). We were sat in the 'white' conservatory style room, which was beautifully warm, clean and bright, but despite the jockeys on the wall, lacked the character of the rest if the building. Would most certainly come again.

Don't let the main road location put you off. A gem of a pub serving great Sunday roasts with excellently kept real ale and a great selection of wines. Atmosphere was spot on, nice and relaxed, yet perfectly attentive staff. Made our family of 8 including two young ones feel really at home. A great blueprint for other small communities at risk of losing their local pub.

Stumbled upon this place, and were so pleased we had. Recently renovated, the decor is very pleasant, airy and comfortable. The lunch menu was not extensive but varied and interesting, and the food was cooked well and presented with care. Its great to see a community enterprise of such quality, and we wish them well.
