The Hit or Miss in Wiltshire

In previous times the food here has been excellent. However, the experience this time was disappointing. I had a chickpea curry which appeared to be mostly tinned tomatoes and Mr didn't feel his fish and chips were worth the price. Saying that, customer service pleasant enough and a lovely place for a drink.

Went for Sunday Roast for 4 adults and a child after a walk to build our appetites. Starters were fine. But not the roasts. We had 2 dry chicken roasts. Most of the chicken had to be left. 1 beef roast that was chewy. 1 pork roast with no crackling and uncooked fat around the slices. All roast potatoes were soggy!Kids sausage and mash had overcooked sausages so our son left half of one and barely touched the mash. They serve it with peas but we asked for raw carrots instead. Weirdly they couldn't offer any raw ones.It was as if the meals had been kept warm an hour longer than they should yet we know the kitchen was backed up because they told us it was. We didn't mind waiting an hour for the food but at £160+£20 service, this was a very disappointing experience. We did mention these issues but no dicount offered. I still have indigestion! I honestly don't know how you can mess up Sunday Roasts!I'd recommend The Crown in Penn instead (or any other local Chef and Brewer eg Feathers by Cliveden). 100% better roasts and value.

I recently came to this pub for a family event/function. Everything was prepared for us when we arrived. We were greeted by staff and taken care off the whole time we were there. Although we were provided with a buffet of food, I myself am vegan, and I was prepared a separate plate which was given to me, which was incredibly kind, even though there were vegan options amongst the buffet food items.The staff were friendly, presentable and kind and were incredibly attentive. The pub is self was lovely, it has a great outdoor seating infront and the indoors has plenty of room.

Nice pub shame the food let's them down. Staff pleasant and helpful.The bar is clean and well laid out and gives a good impression when you enter.I had lunch, sausage and mash. Sausages appear precooked and were hard, difficult to cut. This was a well made and tasty product spoiled by the cooking. Served with a slightly dry mash, bland undercooked red cabbage. Onion rings and gravy were presentable.Landlord, catering tricks and shortcuts aren't working. Have a word with the cook.

We used to Visit this pub every Sunday and had a couple of poor visits, food quality has declined, today we thought 3rd time lucky, unluckily they lost our order first, then the Sunday lunch beef was cold, my wife’s sausage and mash was bland as anything, we had to ask for gravy just to finish the meal- we were offered a free dessert, which we kindly declined. We will have to give this place a miss for a while after 3 poor visits! Hopefully they get back to the quality and service they used to offer as the pub is lovely and in a beautiful location.

Lovely old pub opposite the cricket green. Great ambience, welcoming staff and a fine selection of food and beverages. Recommended

We visited the Hit & Miss today after our dog walk and decided to have lunch for 4 as well as a few drinks. After we sat down and ordered drinks, one of the White wines was not up to standard, and this was reported to the Waiter. Not alone did he change it, but he fully understood our issue, was exceptionally knowledgeable on wine selection on their menu, and was a pleasure to deal with throughout our time there. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, our doggies sat quietly under the table and seemed to have a very happy experience as well. Great ambiance, great food, friendly and courteous staff and fellow customers. All in all a great experience. Highly recommend!

Lovely country pub with friendly staff, beer garden and food menu.

Beautiful, dog friendly pub. The lemon and lime posset was delicious 😋. Wine and cocktail selection were good too. Will definitely be coming back.

The pub was recommended by a local ; we were from Stamford. It's a super dog friendly venue with above excellent staff who were utterly welcoming, friendly, efficient and great with dogs. The food was the best I've had in a very long time from a pub establishment (I'm in the hospitality industry). Delicious and filling. The menus is not ordinary with great options available for all types and volumes. Very cosy and traditional yet have the capacity to cater for large groups and events. Great Village location too.
