They found a table for us, though we didn't have a reservation. The food was fantastic, pricey, but very worth it. Excellent chef. The staff were polite, courteous, but not rushed or stressed. The atmosphere and ambience was modern but cozy and comfortable. Thank you for a great Valentines Day evening. We will have dinner there again.

My partner and I had never been to The Pembroke Arms before our first visit on Sunday 15th February The rainy weather only added to the cosiness and charm of this immensely popular place (for good reason!) Despite us being 15 minutes late to our booking due to traffic, the lovely lady behind the bar showed us to a table instantly and we were literally waited on by what felt like the whole team who were all so friendly and kind. I left wishing I worked there! The roast was amazing, and Lucy who served us the majority of the time was a star Thank you so much, I’m singing your praises and telling everyone where to get a flippin’ fabulous roast dinner

We came for the Sunday roast and it was absolutely unreal. One of the best roasts I’ve ever had! We pretty much licked the plates clean!

Stayed for a night at the Pembroke Arms in Wilton. Characterful old coaching inn opposite Wilton House. Easy parking. Bar busy with locals, low ceilings, wood panelling and an open fire carrying a faint woodsmoke smell. Easy to settle in. Ate in the bar. Sourdough pizza from the wood-fired kitchen in the rear garden. No. 3 with pepper pork, potato, blue cheese and walnut, with anchovies added and chilli ham mayo on the side. Blistered crust and airy rim, full of flavour. Excellent. Pint alongside, with a steady local trade at the bar and in the restaurant. Room was quiet and comfortable. Carved wooden bed, good mattress and linens spot on. Heavy curtains kept it dark, warm lamps, writing desk, chair and coat hooks. Bathroom clean with a strong shower and quality toiletries. Breakfast was cooked to order. Poached eggs held, bacon crisp, Lincolnshire sausage, black pudding, roasted tomato and field mushroom. Strong coffee, with pastries, fruit and yoghurt set out to help yourself. An interesting historic building with comfortable rooms, a friendly bar and a confident kitchen using local produce. Service warm and efficient throughout. Well worth a return visit.

The Pembroke Arms is a quiet gem. We ate in the pub, which is a beautifully decorated couple of rooms. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable and efficient. The menu is deceptively simple but what we ate was delicious. The pie was huge but excellent. Full of meat and gravy. Seriously good. I'm going back. And they really welcome dogs. Lovely people and a great lunch

We had a lovely birthday meal here recently, and were thrilled with a surprise main course by the staff, and a birthday dessert too. The venison main was absolutely delicious as was my wife’s Schnitzel. Highly recommended, service was spot on and the staff just lovely. If we’re in the area again we will definitely visit The Pembroke Arms!
