A 5 star AA pub a couple of miles further back had 'no room at the inn' when we called in for sunday lunch without booking. But not such bad luck after all! We drove on and found a very warm welcome, open fire burning away and we very quickly had in front of us beautiful home cooked roast beef dinners with all the trimmings followed by fruit crumble and custard. Our daughter settled on a home made lasagne then Black Forest gateau. All this for a very reasonable price (much less than down the road!). We've marked it as 'favourite' on our sat nav so we can find it again! Well worth a visit!

Out of the way unless you are in Biddestone, but worth a stop if you are close. We had a good portion of the menu and it all tasted good. Beer was as cold and good as any where.

After a day spent at National Trust Dyrham Park (which I intend to review as it was an excellent…read moreday), we were looking for somewhere to cater for a party of six adults and four children at very short notice (immediate). I popped in to see if they had any space or if we would need to book and was quickly told that they could serve us as soon as they had rearranged some tables. At the same time, I was reassured to find that they would happily cater for the two Coeliacs in the party and had a decent range of dishes they could provide as Gluten Free. This place is more of a traditional inn than a 'gastropub' and the quality of both the freshly cooked food and the attentive staff underlines that. Our order contained pan-fried salmon, risotto, chicken breast on mustard mash, a home-made burger, ham & eggs, linguine and some side orders of chips. Drinks included, the bill only came to £140 or so, granted we didn't go for starters or dessert as we had to travel back to Manchester that evening, but the prices on the menu looked reasonable for that side of things too. I can only speak for the chicken breast and a spoonful of risotto, but they had plenty of flavour, not too much salt, tender and not dry chicken with a crisp skin and lovely creamy sauce. The risotto was everything you would expect from a good risotto, perfectly separated rice with lots of interesting veg mixed in and full of flavour. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful and they made sure that all the food arrived at the same time so we all had it hot and together, which was really good. The belated side order which was requested as the other dishes were delivered was brought immediately too which is a touch of class. All round a fantastic experience and no complaints from anyone, everybody really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

A lovely local pub in Winterbourne Down…read more This has been my family's local pub for around 20 years and it hasn't changed one bit. It's still as charming, still has the same locals, still the same landlord and, I think, still the same roaring log fire. The Cross Hands doesn't do food, but it does do lots of guest ciders, ales and a brilliant atmosphere. The landlord and landlady (Pete and Lesley) are great (Pete is the spitting image of Peter Stringfellow - with open shirt and hairy chest) and make you feel like part of the furniture - which can make leaving quite difficult at times! Friday nights are good fun. Typical local pub style. A bit of cheese on the jukebox and a good mix of young'ens and old'ens to keep it interesting from one end of the pub to the other. But the best thing about this pub isn't its huge back garden. It isn't the fact you can use one of their massive BBQ's and bring your own meat/food. It isn't even the regular events they hold in the summer with live bands and cider in boxes. The best thing about the Cross Hands is the pub dog. A beautiful Staffordshire Bull terrier who has the gentlest demeanour and wonderful personality. She'll pin her belly to the ground and wiggle her way over to say hello. All the while snorting like a little pig. She has her own arm chair and sits with the locals who play cards on the big round table from 4pm every day. This is a lovely little boozer that has a huge garden for the summer and wonderful warm log fire for the winter. As it is out of town, you can knock 40-80p off the price of pint. A must if you're in the area.

We stopped in here for dinner and good thing we got here early as they filled up quickly. I suggest you make a reservation for dinner. Large parking lot with lots of space, which can sometimes be a challenge to find. The bar man (whose name I have forgotten) was amazing. He was taking orders, filling drinks, seating people, being a cashier, and just generally everywhere at once. He had a couple of girls helping him, but this place could not run without him. There is seating both inside and on a back patio. We opted for inside, because it was still sunny and quite warm outside. Quickly after ordering, bread and oil was dropped off. The bread was delicious and the oil and balsamic vinegar was yummy. The fish and chips were very good. My husband enjoyed his pork and it's a good thing he likes peas (see the photo). Overall the food was pretty good. I was impressed with The Northey Arms. Service was extremely good with how busy the place was. The restaurant was large and the food was good. The barman was friendly and I would absolutely eat here again.
