Mill Arms
Mill Arms, Salisbury
At a glance
A family-run country pub in the Test Valley village of Dunbridge, opposite the train station with an hourly service to and from Salisbury — a short walk from Mottisfont Abbey, run by two sisters. About 11 miles from Salisbury — well worth the trip for coeliac visitors, with a strong gluten-free reputation built on an extensive separate GF menu and consistently positive community reviews. It's about two miles from Mottisfont, making it an easy stop if you're making a day of the house and gardens.
Gluten-free options
The June 2025 menus mark a broad range of dishes gf or gf* (gluten-free option available): Ham Egg and Chips (gf), Thai Red Vegetable Curry (gf), Grilled Smoked Bacon Chop (gf), 12oz Grilled Rump Steak (gf), three-egg omelettes (gf), jacket potatoes (gf), and a small house salad (gf). Gluten-free sandwiches are available at lunch, and all burgers have a gluten-free option. Community sources list Fish and Chips, Fries, and approximately six GF desserts including sticky toffee pudding. Atly notes a separate GF menu is available and ranks the pub highly for coeliac-friendliness. TripAdvisor describes it as offering an extensive gluten-free menu rarely matched in local pubs.
Before you order
The menu carries a standard cross-contamination disclaimer noting that foods may be at risk from other ingredients in the kitchen — this is a boilerplate note rather than a confirmed controlled-allergen process. One fryer is dedicated solely to gluten-free use — so the fish and chips is also gluten-free.
Worth asking?
Is the separate gluten-free menu running today alongside the main menu?
What this means for coeliacs
A separate gluten-free menu runs alongside the main menu, and one fryer is dedicated solely to gluten-free use. Desserts including the sticky toffee pudding, chocolate brownie and crumble are prepared with coeliac cross-contamination care, as are all dishes, and all staff are allergen trained. The menu carries a standard cross-contamination note — a well-equipped kitchen, though not a wholly gluten-free one.
