We have had good experiences dining at Whiterow in the past, but unfortunately our recent visit was not as enjoyable. The restaurant has recently opened a new area that is bright and welcoming. However, when we ordered our usual meals, the service seemed a bit disorganized. Three of our meals arrived together, followed by the fourth a few minutes later, which was not a major issue. The most disappointing part was that the chips were very dry and seemed to have been reheated or left under a heat lamp for too long, making them inedible. When we mentioned this to our waitress, she seemed unsure of how to respond and simply apologized. This was the first time I have ever complained at a restaura...

We have used Whiterow Farm Cafe to meet friends for a number of years and until yesterday have always received a warm welcome and good service. There were four of us who met up as usual at 11am yesterday. We ordered coffee (which arrived at 11.20am) and declined the invitation to order food at that point as it was our intention to stay for lunch. At 12 noon the waitress arrived at our table (having been sent by the supervisor) requesting that if we were not intending to order more drinks and food then we would be asked to leave as the table was required for lunch. We reluctantly ordered more drinks having only just finished the first ones and we were at that point still in the middle of catc...

I ordered take away fish and chips for two and was given a buzzer that would alert me as I waited in my car when my order was ready. After waiting more than twenty minutes I returned to query the length of my wait (it was not busy); the buzzer sounded as I reached the door of the shop. I was told I had been buzzed five times (the buzzer had not sounded while I was in my car clearly for whatever reason there is a range issue) and that a member of staff had looked for me in the car park (obviously they had not looked very far). I seemed not to be believed that the buzzer did not work and, when I queried whether my food would still be hot if they had spent some time supposedly buzzing and looki...

The restaurant has expanded its dining area significantly, which unfortunately detracts from its overall charm. Once a quaint rustic cafe/restaurant with excellent food, the new section feels more like a cafeteria with an overpowering greasy smell from the fried food. I ordered scampi and chips with aioli mayonnaise, but when I requested tartare sauce, I was surprised to be charged an additional £1.75 for a small pot. The baked potatoes and sandwiches, priced at £9 each, do come with crisps, salad, and coleslaw, but the menu feels overpriced. The changes have drastically altered the vibe of the place, leaving me feeling embarrassed in front of my friends. Despite my previous praise for the r... Book a table now

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. I ordered fish and chips and two drinks for takeout, but was only allowed to use the shed area when I requested a glass. I felt that paying over $30.00 for fish and chips should at least warrant a plastic glass, but was eventually offered two glasses. The process of ordering in the shop with an alarm system and then picking up the food at the window felt bizarre. When we finally received our fish and chips, we found that the fish was extremely dry and the batter was thick and unappetizing. Despite being loyal customers since the opening of the restaurant, we will not be returning. It's a disappointing and sad end to our exper...

Called in for a fish and chip takeaway. After waiting approximately 10 minutes, thinking our dinner would be lovely, as we presumed cooked to order. We arrived home in under 5 minutes to enjoy our dinner. Sorry, let me rephrase that..... Fish was cold and rubbery, batter dark brown, chips cold and soggy. As for our large mushy peas, cold and certainly not large! For the price charged you should at least expect the meal to be hot. No more visits to Whiterow Farm Shop, we'll pay less and get better quality from our local chippy!

We went to buy 1 take away fish and chips and 1 adult scampi. What can I say? pretty poor really given the two cost £24. 7 scampi of which one was so deep fried it was burnt and chips that whilst hot, were under cooked. Had we not driven home to Warminster I would have sent them back. The fish was OK but again portion size seems to have fish cooked as a portion not your normal piece of fish. I wouldn't recommend given its so expensive and that price tag is not justified.

Sad to say cooked breakfast was overpriced and average at best. My wife ordered 2 poached eggs on toast, What she got was 1 poached egg 1 hard boiled egg and a mouthful of eggshell . Craftily the hard egg was place under the poached egg. Mentioned it to the waitress who tbf couldn't give a Monkies !!! With coffee that was poor it came to £24 ... I know times are difficult but come on guys bit of pride in your work.... Book a table now

Visited today at 1 o’clock for two Takeaway Kids portions we are in our mid 80’s!, After a short wait we placed our order with a very pleasant lady, who gave us beeper to hail us when ready. In less than 10 minutes they were ready. We have been here many times over the years and today’s meals were generous and provided beautiful battered Cod and tasty chips. A real pleasure. Thank you Whiterow. Ralph and Leila Butcher
