We always drive past the hunting lodge on the A38 but thought we’d meet up with some family and see what it was like. Upon entering the over powering smell of the disgusting toilets put me off straight away, we were greeted by a lovely gentlemen at the bar and quickly shown to our table, decor was really outdated and had a very damp and musty smell about the place, after about 20 mins, we had to go to the bar to ask for some menus, told to look on the board for specials, when we had decided, again had to go up and order from the bar. When the food did arrive, it was amazing, portions sizes were really big and arrived quite quickly, after finishing our meal, no one came to collect our plates and we had to go and ask for this to be done, to which 4 members of staff started arguing about who had collected our plates, they quickly came and took them away, when we asked for dessert menu, they said you have to look at the board, on the other side of the pub!! When desserts came out only 1 arrived after seeing other plates come out for other customers we went to the bar and asked where our other desserts were, we only ordered 3, the staff member replied that they were just doing it, and then when they brought it over said they had run out of ice cream! While we were eating our desserts, the strongest smell of poo was coming from the toilets, it was so off putting! We didn’t tip and unfortunately because of the poor service and the foul smell, we won’t ever be returning!

Lovely setting, if you don’t miss the turning. 8 males for a pleasant lunch break. Beautiful log fire, no annoying background musak and lovely customer service. Jordan was an excellent hostess.

A very nice, and generous Sunday carvery although the pub itself is a bit tired and scruffy to be honest. Staff always helpful and friendly, large car park too. Sunday seems to attract a lot of old age pensioners it would seem also. I would go there again for a roast. Nearest alternative is the lyneham innVegetarian options: Don't know and don't care
Staff are lovely, they have an extensive menu and the food is very good. Food arrives hot and fills the plate, not too long to wait either. Plenty of parking and easily accessible.

Ordered a medium well steak, came over cooked and pressed full of grissel. Sent it back again mw no blood it came back rare. No apology nothing the chef should be ashamed of himself. I am also a chef and clearly know how to cook steaks. To add salt to the wounds I heard the waitresses slagging me off in the kitchen, saying she ordered a med rare. As if I don't know what I like to eat. Totally annoyed

Quite possibly the worst food I have ever eaten, extremely bland beef was over cooked the veg was awfully sad and at 15 pound a head it’s not overly cheap, the staff were lovely and it was busy which is

This was always my favourite place for a carvery but very sad to say we were very disappointed yesterday the beef was sooo tough we couldn't cut it we did complain but nothing was said, also watched a older gentleman trying to get into his apple crumble with a spoon and fork with no luck .

Good food,fast service and friendly staff. We also liked the set up of tables having bench seating with high backs giving extra privacy. One major criticism was the smell of loos as you entered the building,as they were immediately inside and it sadly wasn’t appreciated as a welcome to a lovely pub.
