At a glance
Independent traditional village pub on Blandford Road in Coombe Bissett, about four miles south-west of Salisbury. Home-cooked food with daily chalkboard specials and local ales.
Gluten-free options
The Summer and Sunday menus mark gluten-free dishes with a (Gf) key. Two mains carry it — a vegetable and nut paella, and a cranberry and cashew nut roast — and a gluten-free roll is available as a side. The marked options are vegan-friendly too, but that's the extent of the gluten-free coding on the menu. The kitchen uses a separate fryer for chips when preparing a gluten-free order — mention it when you arrive. Sunday roasts are served gluten-free, with no Yorkshire pudding and gluten-free gravy, and the specials boards often carry gluten-free options too.
Before you order
Tell the team you need a gluten-free order when you arrive — they'll use the separate chip fryer and point out what's gluten-free on the boards. The battered cod and scampi go in the other fryer, so being explicit matters.
Worth asking?
Are the gluten-free paella and nut roast prepared with cross-contact controls safe for a coeliac? What gluten-free options are on the specials board today?
What this means for coeliacs
The kitchen maintains a separate chip fryer used for gluten-free orders on request, and the Sunday roast comes with gluten-free gravy. Two mains carry gluten-free markers and the specials boards often add more — a word with staff on arrival ensures the right fryer is used.
