Tucked away in the picturesque village of Steeple Ashton, The Longs Arms is a charming gastropub housed in a beautifully restored 16th-century courthouse, serving seasonal British cuisine.
Just a short drive from Trowbridge and ideally positioned between Bath and Salisbury, it’s a perfect countryside escape for food lovers, walkers, and anyone seeking a warm welcome and exceptional cooking. The pub’s atmosphere is warm and inclusive, with friendly staff and a dog-friendly policy that makes it a hit with locals and visitors alike. Regular themed nights, like steak night and pie and pint Wednesdays, add to the community feel and offer great value.
The Longs Arms prides itself on its seasonal British dishes with flair. The menu changes regularly to reflect the freshest local produce, and dishes are crafted with creativity and care. Expect starters like duck liver parfait with blackberry jelly or salt-baked beetroot with whipped vegan feta. Mains range from comforting pub classics, such as homemade pie of the day and cider-battered haddock, to refined plates like confit duck leg with potato fondant and Massaman vegetable curry. Saturdays bring a laid-back vibe with handmade pizzas served in the garden, including indulgent options like the cioccolato pizza topped with Nutella, banana and vanilla ice cream. Desserts are equally tempting, with sticky toffee pudding, millionaire shortbread chocolate pot, and Eton mess among the favourites. There’s also a dedicated children’s menu and a well-curated wine list, plus local ales, premium beers and classic cocktails.
Surrounded by scenic countryside and close to attractions like Longleat Safari Park and Stonehenge, The Longs Arms is more than just a place to eat, it’s a destination. Whether you’re stopping by for lunch, dinner, or a weekend treat, it promises memorable food and genuine hospitality.
