🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 An Absolute Hidden Gem in the Countryside!
If you’re looking for the perfect country pub with top-quality food, a warm atmosphere, and genuinely friendly staff – this is it. The Pub in Winterbourne Bassett is hands-down one of the best places I’ve ever dined at.
The moment you walk in, you feel welcomed like family. The team here clearly love what they do – they’re cheerful, professional, and go above and beyond to make your visit special.
Now let’s talk about the food – absolutely next level. I had the steak, and it was honestly one of the best I’ve had in the UK – perfectly cooked, tender, full of flavour, and served with delicious sides. Every dish at our table looked incredible and came out hot and beautifully presented.
Portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the menu has something for everyone – whether you’re after a hearty meal or just a cozy drink by the fire.
The setting is just as amazing. A traditional English pub feel with modern touches, set in a peaceful village surrounded by nature – it’s like stepping into a postcard.
Perfect for: ✅ Date nights ✅ Family meals ✅ Weekend drives in the countryside ✅ Celebrations ✅ A proper Sunday roast!
Highly recommend booking ahead on weekends – this place is popular for good reason. We’ll definitely be coming back!
👉 Don’t miss this place – it’s what a proper pub should be. Cheers to the team at Winterbourne Bassett – you’ve got something really...
Read more5 of us visited The Winterbourne last night, the first time since the new management had taken over running this friendly village restaurant. We were all delighted by the warm welcome and professionalism of all the staff. The food was delicious and beautifully and originally presented, notably the squid (see photo). Between us we also enjoyed scallops and the yummy fried brie & smoked salmon starters. There was quite a lengthy wait for the main course, but we could see the chef working busily from our table and the pork loin dish, (which we all enjoyed) served with a black pudding mash and delicious brandy & peppercorn sauce was well worth the wait. We really shouldn’t have had anything else to eat but the choice of ice-creams was too good to miss out on and our friend thoroughly enjoyed his beautifully presented banoffee pie. One driver wanted a non alcoholic drink and was served an interesting concoction she really enjoyed, appreciating the effort to provide something a little different. Romanian wines were tasted and appreciated with the wine lovers noting they would study the wine list carefully on our next planned visit! Now to find a date when we can all return together. Well done Mihaj and team, you’re doing...
Read moreThis is without question one of the best places to eat in the area. Not only is the food exceptional, I mean really beyond measure, the whole atmosphere is wonderful. Be it a weekday or weekend, the standard of food that is served is up is probably a Michelin star, and done with such care it should be. The salt and pepper squid is delicious, probably the best I have ever had, and I went for a roast yesterday that I do not think I can remember a equivalent in my recent past. the portion was generous to the right degree, with the best trimmings you could ask for. Not only this, but you are welcomed like a friend, everyone takes some time to speak with you not just a passing 'how are you' but with interest and commitment, rather than between tasks as a brief encounter.
The pub from a few years ago has come on leaps, bounds, strides and any other measurement you would like to use. From the outside seating, to the café conservatory, to everything else in between. Which is why you know its love which has gone into this quintessential English pub.
I hope anyone and everyone gets a chance to enjoy one of the best pubs I know of, with some of the best food around, and caring lovely...
