| In my search for the perfect country pub this is as close as I have got (so far). I visited it several times whilst staying nearby, sometimes for just a drink and twice for meals. The staff, whoever was on duty, were always very friendly and welcoming; the beers were excellent; and the food was excellent as well. The outside is picture perfect, but I especially like the fact that the interior has not been prettified, it has been left genuinely rustic (not fake rustic). One bar has been devoted to food, but there is still a drinker's bar. All in all a pub I could spend a lot of time (and indeed I tried to!!). 10/10. happy_wanderer - 15 Sep 2011 17:15 |
| Visited this excellent pub whilst visiting family in Salisbury. The location is to die for - we enjoyed an excellent meal in the garden. The steak and kidney pud (with the trimmings) was a joy, as were the the meals of fish platter and cheddar ploughmans chosen by my other members of my family. I,Personally, not driving , sampled the Palmers Copper Ale followed by the Timothy Taylor and the Bitter? very nice! and well presented. The staff were brilliant and welcoming. This Pub should not be missed rating? 10/10 AstuteAl - 23 Apr 2010 17:04 |
| A real log fire was burning nicely in the bar, and I chose the Palmers Copper Ale which was very good, although it was just a bit too cold for me. London Pride and two other ales were also available on the hand pumps.The soup and the cafetiere coffee to follow were fine. Glad to see some of the locals were using the bar as well as some passers by. Worth another visit next time I'm passing this way. Feed - 13 Dec 2008 20:51 |
| Not a bad pub, Tuesday night in October’s probably not the most representative time but the pub just lacked something. The staff were fine. Can’t remember which beers they had but the one I had was very average and nothing unusual so went onto the Old Rosie scrumpy. Not a bad pint but £3.20 a pint…? Southern prices maybe. The food was fine but certainly WELL overpriced. All in all, The Compasses in Damerham (just up the road) is a better bet. Richardhuddleston - 20 Oct 2008 13:20 |
| What a delightful pub. the new owners Kerry and Andrew have really added something special to the Rose & Thistle. Lovely welcoming atmosphere to a real country treat. The food was delicious and all home cooked. Superb menu which apparently changes daily. Well worth a visit, again and again! adw30 - 21 Aug 2008 11:27 |
