both ales off when visited and £3.00 for a pint of Strongbow was a bit steep. Quite a nice pub though all the same so scrapes a 7/10 in my books.

So the landlord has finally switched to English food.
The Thai was good, but the English menu is way above what I expected, and the food really is superb. Don't know where he got the chef from but he has got a gem!
Try the Chiken with pistacio and pork stuffing.....fantastic!
Quality at last in Salisbury!

New landlord is taking the piss with prices. When he took over the price of a pint of 1664 went from £2.85 to £2.95, now he is charging £3.10. I won't be going back

I went in here on a Saturday night and the place was dead - about half a dozen (Thai?) women eating and about four men, plus a couple sitting in the corner. It seemed odd because the place is huge. There were 3 real ales - London Pride, Ringwood Best & Courage Best. The Pride I had was fine, but a bit expensive (I think) at £2-60 a pint - but then Pride always does seem to be expensive for its strength anyway.

Under new management again, and obviously for the better! Went in with some trepidation (lats time I wlked in I walked straight out) to get out of the rain and glad I did. Quiet place, lovely staff and good beer.
Didn't try the Thai food but will soon.

Lovely little pub. I went there in the evening during the week when there was a nice mix of locals (mainly quite welcoming) and visitors. The beer was well kept. The background music was just that, in the background, the staff were efficient. I agree with what Moonlight said, a village pub in the middle of a city.

I visited the pub in October 2004 with my family. They gave us our requested cream tea on a Sunday, by special dispensation, even though cream teas are usually only available on weekdays. I was introduced to Elizabeth Shaw mint crisps there (they gave us a complimentary one with our teas). I thought the place was beautiful, the service excellent and I'd definitely go back again. Unfortunately, it's a long trip from Canada!

Nice, friendly pub. Good range of beer, including real ales. Serve home cooked food (should check because they don't always do it). Mixed crowd of young and old. Depending what else is happening in the area depends whether it's busy on a certain night of the week or not. Feels like your village pub in the middle of a city.
