The Wyndham Arms, Salisbury

Still the mecca of Summer Lightning for me. Consistently high quality (and I've been visiting the Wyndham for over 10 years).
Isn't it curious that Summer Lightning never tastes as good elsewhere, even in other Salisbury pubs.

Boathouse Bar and Brasserie, Salisbury

What the previous reviews fail to stree enough is that yes it is next to the river (not canal) on one side, but if you fancy sitting by the entrance with its nice outside terrace and brasserie-style tables the only view you get is of the vast tarmac expanse of Salisbury coach park (not the car park) with its loading/unloading of coachloads of tourists and the attendant public toilets.
Whilst I had a perfectly acceptable pint of Old Speckled Hen, and the brasserie-style menu looked interesting if a little expensive, the location is unfortunate and off-putting.
