Carwardine`s - Menu

We had a lovely welcome and found a table by the door. The menu wasn't, but it had a bit of everything for everyone. We both decided on the Shepherds Pie(lamb). It was amazing, lovely lamb filling and cheesey mash. The staff were really friendly. Shame we are only visitors

What lovely people here! So warm and welcoming. Had a lovely lunch with Generous portions. I left my brand new umbrella at the restaurant for 2 weeks. Rung them up and they still had my umbrella. Couldn’t believe it! What an honest lovely team. Forever grateful and will be back as your oat lattes are beautiful! Xxx

This was our first and last visit to this cafe. The enticing pictures of food outside the cafe lured us in, but the food we were served did not resemble the pictures at all. I ordered a gammon and cheese toasted sandwich, but there was no butter on the toast and the cheese had no flavor. There was only a small amount of wafer-thin ham inside, and the chips were undercooked. The tea was also terrible. Save your money and go elsewhere.

We went for breakfast on Friday and although there was a good atmosphere and the staff were pleasant, Carwardine's was not very clean. Our teapot looked like it hadn't been washed for ages, inside and out and the toilets stank of acrid urine. The toilet pan was also very stained. We have been there several times in the past, but not sure I would be in a hurry to return. Also not very pleased to see staff vaping outside and then coming back to serve customers.

I became concerned when hot oil sprayed out as I cut into a chip at this restaurant. We ordered a ham and cheddar cheese toastie with chips and salad, but it was disappointing. The toastie lacked cheddar cheese and instead had bland mozzarella-like strings. The wholemeal toast was dry and the salad was sparse. This unsatisfactory meal cost £8.50. When I asked for an extra shot in my coffee, it was lukewarm and tasted more like milky coffee-colored drink than real coffee. Overall, I would recommend avoiding this place.

What a great little place. We managed to get a table for six on our first lunchtime in Salisbury as the place was very busy. We may have outstayed our welcome somewhat as we were the last to leave as they closed at 4pm. Anyway we all had sandwiches and drinks which were all superb. The only draught beer they have is Heineken which was fine. They have several other beers in 500ml bottles. The six lunches we had were all excellent and being in a warm cosy atmosphere was just what we all needed. Staff were excellent and the quality of food and service was perfect.

We decided to try this restaurant shortly after Christmas on the 23rd as everywhere else was fully booked. Both my partner and I ordered toasties that were served with chips and a salad. Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed with our meals. We both agreed that it was probably the worst food we had ever experienced at a dining establishment. The toasties were barely edible, the chips were not cooked properly, and the "salad" consisted of just a small portion of iceberg lettuce that had been chopped into tiny pieces. Honestly, it felt like an insult to our intelligence. Needless to say, we will not be returning to this restaurant. The overall experience felt very amateurish. Save yours...

Warm greeting as always,Saturday morning in Salisbury is Market Day so Carwardines was busy but,a couple of vacant tables,the staff were lovely and were very thorough in their cleaning of vacated tables. I ordered the Bricklayers Breakfast for me and a round of toast and marmalde for my wife as she wasn't very hungrt,tea and a coffee. Tea and Coffee arrived quickly and the food a few minutes later,hot and well cooked,the young Waitress very pleasant and when my wife asked for a little more butter it arrived in a dish within seconds. We have used Carwardines quite regularly on a Saturday morning for many years and have never had a bad experience,the people who seem to have had a negative expe...

Decided to pop in for a light breakfast as have seen this place regularly busy in the past. After looking at the menu and the prices, we thought we would be treating ourselves to some nice quality food. How wrong we were! Whilst ordering our breakfast at the counter, we witnessed them using a carton of Tesco orange juice to fill up a small glass, Which they charge almost twice the price of the whole carton for! Then, whilst waiting for our food, we witnessed the owner wheeling in a trolley full of Tesco bread, which was a serious surprise when they are charging £5.35 for a sandwich. When our food arrived, I can only assume the sausages had been purchased from the same place as the rest of th...
