Square Meal Review of Pear Tree Inn ?

Once a beautifully looked-after old farmhouse, the Pear Tree is now a popular pub & restaurant, dealing in surprisingly modern food. The kitchen sources meticulously, procuring organic & free-range meats, locally grown vegetables & some top ingredients from abroad (try the Almafi lemon tart) for a range of well-executed dishes. Kids have their own ‘healthy menu’ & beer drinkers are well served by a line-up of hand-pulled ales in the bar. You can even work up an appetite by visiting Lacock Abbey (just up the road) or Avebury & Silbury Hill close by, while Stonehenge is an impressive drive across Salisbury Plain. And if you want to make a weekend of it, the Pear Tree has eight superb bedrooms.

    THREE OF US (MEN) DINE OUT REGULARLY IN WILTSHIRE EVERY MONTH, TRYING A DIFFERENT RESTUARANT EVERY TIME WHERE POSSIBLE, FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS. THIS WAS THE WORST DINING EXPERIENCE EVER – THE SERVICE WAS APPALING, (HAD TO ASK TWICE FOR THE MENUS ONLY TO BE TOLD “I'VE BEEN BUSY”) THE TABLES WERE DIRTY AND STICKY (ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY ARE OLD AND WE AR HAVING NEW ONES – NO EXCUSE FOR DIRTY TABLES), THE FOOD WAS ORDINARY (FISH PIE WAS ONLY WARM AND COULD HAVE BEEN A BIRDSEYE FROZEN ONE FOR ALL THE TASTE) , WHEN THE FOOD WAS SERVED IT LACKED THE ORDERED SIDE DISHES (ONLY TO BE TOLD “NO PROBLEM”…BUT THERE WAS!) AND SERVED AT THE TABLE VERY LATE). tHE PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE OF THE RECENT COELIAC FOOD LEGILSATION AND NO VEGETARIAN OPTIONS) THE “CLOUDY CIDER” WAS UNDRINKABLE. IF THIS IS A Marco Pierre White RESTAURANT IT IS BAD – IF IT IS A FRANCHISE THEN AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAQUE! VERY POR VALUE BUT THE SAVING GRACE KIM PETTITT TRIED TO MAKE AMMENDS BY REDUCING THE BILL. BUT A BAD EXPERIENCE YOU TELL LOTS OF PEOPLE ABOUT!

    This was a very poor dining experience. I had to wait over 2 hours for my main course to arrive with no prior warning from the staff that there was a problem. The food as mediocre and the manager was totally unapologetic for the poor service and sought to blame my party for the delay. This pub should be avoided.
