With a nod towards our coastal heritage, this restaurant brings the freshest fish, simply cooked to Marlborough. There's a delicious a la carte dinner menu, and a set menu option for lunch: the perfect place to eat in Marlborough.

Booked a Birthday lunch for two and was absolutely delighted with everything. The waiting staff were pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful without being over-attentive or pushy. Where do they get such delightful staff? The food we had was simply outstanding and i just couldn't fault it. Oysters and champagne that slipped down a treat, then for me an Indonesian fish curry that was just amazing and for my wife, a monkfish, mussels and prawn stew that she thought delightful... Lovely wine, great ambience and good value considering the quality. Only experienced lunch so far but already trying to find an excuse to go back for Dinner.

Listed in The Guardian as one of the Top "Ten Best Pubs for a Summer Lunch" (August 2015) and by Wiltshire Life Magazine as one of the "Six Best Sunday Roasts" in the county (April 2015) A warm welcome awaits at The Three Tuns in Great Bedwyn, which is ju

The food was overpriced, £68 for 2 for lunch including 2 bottles of sparkling water. And one espresso. Fortunately for us we went with a Travelzoo voucher to mitigate any disappointment. The food was ok, nothing to be excited about it. Like the title said nothing that cannot be cooked at home, the chicken confit was an heresy but that is a personal opinion and taste as it makes the chicken âpastyâ and tasteless as for the rest a burger is a burger, a steak with chimichurri sauce again nothing that we cannot produce at home. It was a trial not to be repeated.

Having first visited The Swan some years ago with a group of runners/walkers, I chose to spend my birthday showing my wife the walking trail, followed by lunch. The food from the extensive menu is as good as ever, as is the friendly service, and the choice of real ales remains impressive, but the fabric needs a little TLC both inside (including the Ladies toilets, according to Alison!) and out; had we had a pair of secateurs in the car, she'd have been tidying up the garden between courses!

Silks On The Downs is best described as a friendly & homely ' Gastro Pub '. Our menus change regularly and we source locally from the fantastic produce available around us. We are located in Ogbourne St Andrew, one mile outside the beautiful market town o

We went here for a friends birthday and were surprised at how slow the food service was, but also how tiny the roast dinner portions were. When we asked for more potatoes/veg they advised that they had run out from another group lunch sitting (we went at 1pm so not that late). They had also run out of some desserts! Iâve always loved going here for a treat and was really disappointed this time. Donât think Iâll go back.

British small plates, showcasing seasonal, local and sustainable produce. Cocktails, sparkling wine on tap and even an award winning garden!
Reviewed By Helen D
A different style of dining with all plates prepared fresh in the kitchen you can see. The portions are larger than conventional tapas but smaller than ordinary portions. All served on hand made pottery the presentation is good. We shared 3 different plates of main course and had a dessert each. The mains were much nicer than the desserts.Not a cheap option but nice surroundings, nicely served, tasty and different so will visit again. I hope the new venture is successful.
4. Dan's Restaurant

Dan's is one of the few independent restaurants of Marlborough and we are all about doing the simple things well - Great food, great service and lots of things to drink. Seating 20-30 guests Dan's is a small and cosy place with a great buzz and atmosphere
Reviewed By Lucy P
We were lucky enough to get a table at the last minute at Danâs. It is a beautiful little restaurant which feels like a home away from home. The staff were really generous and friendly, and the food was phenomenal - varied, flavoursome, and beautifully presented. Great vegetarian/vegan options, and at a very reasonable price given the quality of the food. Thanks for having us!

Have visited this restaurant many times over the years, but I was disappointed this time and did not enjoy the experience as much as previously. We visited with friends all of whom were having the matched wines. Husband and I chose not to, and were offered drinks as soon as we sat down. Everyone else was not offered a drink and had to wait until their 3rd course which had paired wines. Extraordinary. I had champagne, but the glasses were a miserly 100 ml. Everyone knows that a 750 ml bottle of champagne yields 6 glasses at 125 ml, so to pour only 100 ml and charge £15 per glass is very mean. We were served the bread with a bit of hummus, but no plates. The bread was very oily (a focaccia I think). The rest of the food, as usual, was absolutely fantastic. But be under no illusion about the cheese course: when the menu says 'tasting of British cheeses' you cannot actually choose the cheese you have. I don't like soft cheeses. The waitress told me there were no hard cheeses, only soft ones, and one blue cheese. So I ended up with one 'blue' cheese but it was very mild and not a Roquefort/Stilton/St Augur. The final course, treacle & ginger with honey truffles included a nice sorbet and macaroon but the treacle sponge was far too heavy and cloying. It was inconsistent with the rest of the meal and most of us did not enjoy it. Our bill was nearly £300 for 2, without tip/service charge, and when I'm paying that sort of money I rather expect perfection. This was lacking on the night in question, I am sorry to say. I've given only 3 stars because I can't say it was very good. There is a reason this restaurant has lost its Michelin star.Thank you LauranWe have now revised your complaints, once again thank you for your comments Some of your points as you are aware and not quite the truth are they?

A delightful secret in the heart of Marlborough - yes in a Church!! This is more than a coffee shop - they produce the most delicious homemade lunches - our party enjoyed; quiche, chicken pie, cottage pie, cauliflower soup and chive scones, coffee cake and milkshakes. All scrummy! The restaurant area was packed and with good reason. Very accessible - wheelchairs, buggies, scooters. Topped off with lovely staff and the added bonus of a local craft & provisions retail outlet. We will be back!!
