"Christmas day lunch needs to be a bit special and when you have reserved a table at Β£95 a head you cannot help but feel nervous that you have made the right choice. We had no need to worry. Expecting a good quality pub type meal we were surprised to be served a meal more akin to fine dining but not stinting on the quantity of the food unlike many top class restaurants. The meal kicked off with an 'amuse bouche ' of roast celeriac veloute on poached apple, roast hazelnuts, chestnuts and crispy rice, served at at the table. Delicious! Starters followed, again beautifully presented on the plate, Duck and pork terrine for me and beetroot and poached apple for my wife. Then a really nice touch. Before the mains, we were presented with a wine glass containing a boule of lychee sorbet and the waiter topped it up with prosecco. Having cleared our pallets the main courses arrived, turkey for me and lamb for my wife, again cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. The meal was rounded off by a good selection of desserts, both traditional and old favourites, We were well satisfied, in fact we had no room for the mince pies and coffee that we were offered. Service charge was automatically put on the bill, but for me that was no problem as I would have happily added it myself. The waiting staff were excellent and helped make the whole experience special. Thank you all at The Poplars."

Great pub, very friendly staff and lovely food. The landlady made us feel very welcome. We have been visiting the pub for many years, a real gem.

This is simply some of the best food we have ever had! We just stumbled across this place on our travels and thought we would give it a go, the staff were really friendly and the food was excellent.

We wanted somewhere to go for a pre Christmas family get together. We know the poplars do great Sunday roasts and we weren’t disappointed. It was busy but the staff were attentive and the roast dinners and puddings were amazing. We would highly recommend the beef and lamb roasts! View menu

Since my last review in June, the New owners have really sorted the place out. The vast selection of beverages is great and the meals are superb value for money. The Service has improved dramatically and the establishment now deserves a 5 star rating. Definetly on my best Wiltshire Pubs list.

Went for a Christmas Day meal at The Poplars and we had a fantastic dining experience. From ambiance to the food to the service, it was such a pleasure to dine here. Β£95 for Christmas Meal. It included the 5 courses plus mice pies and coffee. Each course was delicious in its own way, but the turkey really stood out. It was undoubtedly the best meal I had in a long time. Thank you to the chef, servers, hosts, and all others who made it a Christmas to remember we booked already for next year)

Came here Saturday 3rd February for a surprise meal for my dads 80th birthday. We were a table of 11. Due to the number of us, we all, except the birthday boy, pre-ordered. That was emailed and acknowledgement received. On the night, the staff were fantastic; friendly, and attentive, Corina is great at what she does, absolute star. Now to the food. It was amazing, and I mean, AMAZING. Presentation and taste spot on, massive shout out to the chef. The food was so good, family that travelled from Devon and Gloucestershire have vowed to return for Sunday lunch one weekend (from previous experience, that is also amazing). I would highly recommend The Poplars. 5* all round.

"We stayed here ten years ago and thought it was wonderful and worth every penny. We were so excited to return, but really Disapointed. The grounds are lovely and we were pleased with our room. The children loved the outdoor space and the pool What really let us down was the food and service. There was no luxury here. The family dining choices were poor. The children's meal was bad one had fish gougons and sweet potato fries which were very salty. The other two had pizza, the small was served as half a pizza, the large was a conventional round shape. Both were shop bought bases (cardboard) with grated Cheddar on the top. Something I would not feed them at home let alone expect in a supposedly high end dining. My husband's steak was chewy. My main, whole plaice with creamed potatoes, the potato was served in a ceramic dish and it was cold. It was taken away and then took ten minutes to return by which point I had eaten the fish. The food was incredibly expensive considering how poor the offerings were. The next day we ate a very late lunch in Bath so we would not have to eat at the hotel. The breakfast buffet area had some nice items but was really understocked and allowed to run to empty. The staff functioned but not at a steady rate, we found the service slow and the staff disinterested. Such a contrast to our previous visit. The person in charge we found sullen and felt as if our presence was an inconvenience. When we walked through to the dining areas we would hop out of the staff'so way for fear of being bulldozed. When we left the receptionist was polite but did not ask if we enjoyed our stay. A week later I had an email to complete a survey and nobody got in touch despite the same feedback as given here. Very dispointing. Lovely room and surroundings but poor food and poor attitude from staff. Last year we stayed in a hotel that cost 65% less than Wooley Grange and had a much better experience."
