The Pheasant Inn — Restaurant in England

Great Sunday lunch in Oct 2020

Returned in June 2021, excellent Sunday Roast again and desserts. Great ale and fine wine. Fantastic service. Will have to return to Salisbury and the Pheasant again. Great old Inn

Returned Easter 2022

Martin and the team run a wonderful establishment. Great Easter Sunday Roast. Great ale and fine wine. Now a favourite must when visiting Salisbury. Will return.

Returned Feb 2024

Seems to be under new management purhaps? Standard remains high

Sunday menu seems simple but traditional.

Bitter ale was very, vey cold (unnecessarily chilled?)

Roast was again very good. Adjoining table seemed to experience tough fatty beef, which nearly put me off. My sirloun was very good, needed a steak knife, but good flavour. Excellent accompanying veg. A very nice meal. Very ably attended by Rona.

Nice wine (Mr Goose shiraz)

Yum apple and cinnamon crumble.

Will return.

Returned a week later! Feb 2023

Busier this week, so much so they had run out of roasts even though we arrived before our booking at 2. 30pm.

Very apologetically, Andrew the manager (assisted by Paige, waitress) enquired and sent us to sister pub, the Bell and Crown with generous offer. The carvery (table served) there was of very,very good. Well presented with separate veg. A sports bar (with three tvs showing football, faux open/gas pit fire would not have been our normal choice). The roast beef and veg was very good. A very good standard meal in sport bar setting. Beer was good.

Will return to the Pheasant out of choice for nice pub dining food and wine atmosphere. Andrew's response to us gives me confidence that they will get the numbers and their popularity right.

Will...

Really really disappointing roast. Not sure if it’s changed hands because older photos and reviews of the Sunday roast are great but ours was terrible. Vegetables seemed like they were from a freezer bag, really watery and mushy. I had pork and husband had lamb but both were very very dry and over cooked. Potatoes were undercooked. It was genuinely on par with a chain carvery lunch. Thought it important to leave a more up to date review as we walked quite far out of our way for this meal expecting great things

Edit: mentioning anything to the staff at the time would have changed nothing. Looking around, everyone had the same food as us, so the problem wasn’t with our individual order. It’s important that future potential customers can see an honest representation when searching in order to make a decision to eat here, so I don’t regret sharing our experience at all. It can be difficult to receive a negative review, I...

Sorry for the late review .What can I say about the pheasant in . What an amazing place great pub great atmosphere. Staff polite and friendly landlord and land lady amazing people we had an early brunch in there and the food was excellent,o decided to have an evening meal there the owners put a heart shape candle on the table for me and my partner which made us feel special from the start we ordered the steak which was cooked beyond perfect it melted in my mouth my partner ordered the pie which was home made beatifull pastry and the filling was full off steak the meal was amazing. can't fault it at all they couldn't off done enough for us . And they went beyond helpful we did not realise my partner had left her phone behind and the landlord walked Salisbury town centre to find us and return phone .this is now are go to pub when we visit Salisbury again truly the best pub...
