Fish finger sandwich this was a lump of grey, foul smelling and foul tasting fish in a very greasy batter which tasted of old fat. The bun was dry. The salad I pushed aside as it was old, with brown marks on the one main lettuce leaf and some sort of unappealing dressing. Fries also tasted of nothing but old fat. Within 15 mins I regretted putting a single mouthful in. Within one hour I felt very sick and had to find a shop to buy mints. Several hours later I could still taste cheap/old oil. Several days later, I still feel ill at the thought of that revolting food.
We did the outdoor beach hut dine, not realising that there is no door or glass in the windows, so it was a breezy experience. Food was uninspiring, service a little patchy, for example nobody offered us a dessert menu for over half an hour after clearing our plates, we had to ask at the bar. Based on previous reviews, family members had travelled from Exeter and Eastbourne for this lunch, so a bit disappointing over all.
If I had a bar this would be the style, atmosphere, Food and service I’d love to offer. The whole layout is well thought out, great decor, differing options of seating, quiet corners and open social areas. We had a great lunch, classics and hearty. Excellent customer services, friendly and polite. If this place was close to my home, I’d never be out of here.
I must admit I have not been on here for some time. Oh my god was pleasantly surprised. Wife had pie, me pork chop, black pudding and fried egg. Everything eas superb. Two beers each and food for £45. Awesome quality and great value for money. Cannot recommend highly enough

Good, reasonably priced pub grub. Beef in the pie was tender, mashed potato tasty. My husband had the pork chop and was more than happy with it. Have only had lunch time nibbles here before but will definitely add the venue to our evening rotation.
A GREAT PUB IN THE VERY CENTRE OF SALISBURY. COSY SETTING, VERY PLEASANT WELCOME FROM THE CHEERFUL LANDLORD. COMFORTABLE SEATING, AND WONDERFUL VARIED MENU. NOTHING WAS TOO MUCH TROUBLE , AND WE WILL MAKE THIS VENUE OUR FAVOURITE NOW.
Great family lunch. Enjoyed the food and ambience. My Dad lives near by (my mum died recently) the owner has been so kind to my Dad. It’s also really nice inside and always seems to be full. We have been a few times.
First visit to the old ale house, really enjoyable. Friendly relaxed atmosphere, with good food and well kept bar. From now on will be my go to bar, for food and drinks, in Salisbury.

Great Sunday Roast with generous sized portions. The beef was cooked perfectly and the chicken was really tasty. As ever excellent service.
Delicious food and filling too. Good service and lovely aesthetics.
