"I organized a group outing for my colleagues at Casa in Melksham, based on a recommendation from one of our team members. Although they required a deposit upfront and asked us to pre-order our meals, this was completely understandable given the size of our group. I must admit, I was a bit anxious since my previous experiences at Italian restaurants had not been the best. However, the menu was diverse and featured clear descriptions, which was helpful for those of us who aren't regular Italian diners. The food exceeded our expectations, with everyone praising the quality of their meals. We were seated at a large table, allowing us ample space to enjoy our time together. The service was excellent, and the drink selection was also quite good. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience!"

"Beautiful dinner. Delicious food, brilliant staff. For me the little touches such as a linen napkin, the cutlery actually laid rather than rolled in..."

"My family recently enjoyed a Sunday lunch at this restaurant. We were seated in the Barn area, a spacious rustic building located in the garden. The tables were well spaced out, providing a sense of openness. There were two woodburners keeping us warm, but there was a strong smoke odor present most of the time, which could be bothersome. The sliding door to enter the area allowed for constant cold drafts as it opened and closed frequently due to the toilets, kitchen, and bar being located in the pub. Despite this, the food was delicious and came with plenty of fresh vegetables. The portions of meat were generous, accompanied by three small roast potatoes, ensuring no one left hungry. It was noted that the meat slices seemed to be uniform, indicating they were pre-sliced rather than freshly cut joints. Despite this, the food was tasty and the gravy plentiful. The service was excellent and the timing was perfect. The prices for drinks, such as local ale at £4.30 a pint, were competitive. The Sunday roast was priced at £13.50 for a small portion and £16.50 for a large portion. The desserts received high praise for both appearance and taste. Overall, we were satisfied and may return in the future, but would prefer to see freshly sliced joint meat from the chef."

"We've often eaten here and had excellent food and service. Until this week. We booked for lunch and our waitress organised drinks very promptly before taking our order. I asked for scampi with a salad, avoiding chips and we also asked for garlic bread to share. When our food arrived, I had scampi and chips with a bowl of salad and no sign of the garlic bread. The waitress suddenly realised I hadn't ordered chips but I said that was OK as my husband would eat them. Despite reminding her about the garlic bread, it never arrived. Our waitress was quiet and efficient, and busy with new arrivals as the restaurant began to fill. We eventually decided it was pointless asking about the garlic bread and finished the meal with tiramisu. The bill duly arrived and in the absence of garlic bread, she offered to take off the service charge. We decided, as the majority of the meal had been fine, to ask for only half of it to be deducted. I think my main problem was with the manager. Although he was there, he didn't deal with any of this problem. He seemed to be fine with going around the tables and chatting to regular customers, but in the matter of the missing garlic bread and the chips I had not ordered, he left the waitress to deal with the problem and didn't even look at us when we left. In many places we have eaten, the manager will normally speak to customers and not leave his staff to face an unhappy diner. Popular eateries don't only rely on their food, their service is just as important, and unfortunately it felt as if no one really cared. Sadly we've eaten our last meal there and won't be coming back."

"This is a lovely venue in the beautiful countryside of Wiltshire. We were warmly greeted by the staff, as we came in, and the great service carried on throughout the evening. We were seated at a slightly odd table in a corner, perfectly adequate, I just felt a bit in the way. Menus were handed out, although I'd looked online and set my heart on delights already, and we had a couple of drinks to get started. We went for a sharing arrangement for our starters and had the crispy pickled root veg, the bread and pistachio butter alongside the trout rillettes. The bread and butter were lovely, different combination that worked well. The pickled veg were nice, but some you needed your good teeth for whilst others were very soft. I'm told, as I'm not a fishy person, that the trout rillette was divine. Main course arrived and as usual I went for haddock and chips. I know this contradicts my previous paragraph but everything is better deep fried in batter! The Mr went for the spicy bean burger, which looked fabulous. A couple of niggles would be that the burger was very squishy for a bean burger, it kept trying to escape from the bun. I usually order fish and chips as it's a great way to compare how different chefs manage with batter. The chips were thick, chunky and crispy as anything. The tartare sauce was really good, as were the crushed peas sounds daft but they tasted of peas, not making them like other places where they add god knows what to them! My niggle was that halfway through the fish which was beautifully cooked and moist the batter went a bit stodgy and lost its crispiness. It's a small thing, not really worth mentioning on the night as everything else was top notch. Dessert arrived, as it always seems too... I had the pumpkin spiced set custard which was a delight to look at, as well as eat. The custard was smooth and not over spiced, and it came with filo shards and the lightest meringue I've ever eaten. The Mr had the cheescake which was a concoction of blond chocolate and mascarpone. It also comes with Horlicks ice cream which I tried and can safely say it was yummy. It wasn't a cheap night out, but overall it was worth the money. Next time I'd like to sit by the fire in the little dining room, not in a hallway. Please take yourself there and enjoy."
