Best Lunch Restaurants in Broad Chalke

A lovely Midwinter meal, we particularly recommend the spiced fish soup (with perfectly cooked scallops), which was delicious and exactly right for this time of year. The hake and duck mains were especially impressive. Service was friendly despite the restaurant being very busy. Looking forward to going again.

This is the second time I've been for brunch at Pythouse. SO pleased I have finally found a place where I can go with friends and family for a brunch that doesn't disappoint. The decor, the setting, the service, and the food are all incredibly brilliant. i intend to work myself through the menu as the flavours, pairings and presentation are wowzers. Come hungry, as the portions are capable for setting you up for the day. I never leave without a few bottles of condiments from the shop too, as we quickly get though them, especially the Smoked Squash Ketchup! Bravo guys!

Great English breakfast. Always a wonderful experience.

On arrival we were met by a member of staff who showed us to our table. Quickly our drinks order was taken and we were told that we would be told when to go up to the carvery. We were not in any hurry and waited about 5-10 minutes which was fine. The food was very good and there was a good variety of vegetables. The meat was tasty and easy to cut. Overall very pleased with the meal and service.

It was lovely to visit the Penruddocke after so many years. The food and staff were excellent, but the decor was basic - because the owners have clearly taken over and are rebuilding the business - something that we like to support as so many rural pubs/inns have disappeared this days. We were certainly made to feel special and were amply rewarded for travelling there. Thank you.
