Malmesbury Restaurant Guide

2A Restaurant

As possibly the area's only real restaurant, 2A has become a definite dining favourite in Malmesbury. Named after its address on Silver Street, it offers a relaxed and stylish elegance. A humble doorway leads into a small, charming bistro area where guests are greeted by smartly dressed, friendly and enthusiastic staff.

Restaurant at Knoll House Hotel

A pleasantly robust establishment with a touch of the Mediterranean about it. In former times the place was a minor stately home inhabited, so it is said, by three crusty aristocrats whose sole source of communication was via their servants.

Restaurant at The Horse & Groom

Throughout the country the land is rich with old pubs, which have been taken over by chefs and transformed into very handy little money machines. Inevitably they tend to polarize but here at The Horse and Groom it has not happened.

Restaurant at The Rectory Hotel

The church, formerly served by this elegant and welcoming house is Saxon, so it comes as no surprise to find that the former Rectory has its foundations firmly rooted in the 17th century. The wood-panelled restaurant, backed up by a traditional conservatory (these old-time clergy were looked after pretty well, thank you) offer a pleasant background where imaginative and thoughtfully prepared food is served by well-trained and attentive staff.

Restaurant at Whatley Manor

A very smart country house hotel, for the exceptionally well-heeled, a place where the less pleasing elements of society are left behind and damage to peace of mind can be gently soothed away. As ever, no small part of the process is contained within the dining room, or, if you prefer, the Brasserie, Le Mazot.
