The Winterbourne Arms
The Winterbourne Arms, Salisbury
At a glance
Independent village pub on Main Road in Winterbourne Dauntsey, about four miles north-east of Salisbury, known for its Wednesday and Sunday roasts alongside a classic British pub menu.
Gluten-free options
A real highlight for coeliacs is the Wednesday and Sunday roast, which can be served gluten-free — gluten-free gravy included — and the staff are well clued-up about getting it right. The regular menu also marks a few dishes gluten-free (chips, fries, and a three-bean chilli with rice), and the in-house menu changes regularly, so it's worth asking what else can be done on the day.
Before you order
The kitchen is gluten-free aware and the roast can be done gluten-free with gluten-free gravy — a strong sign for a coeliac. It's still worth a quick check on the fryer side: the menu has battered and fried items (cod, scampi, whitebait), and there's no published statement on whether the gluten-free chips and fries are cooked in a separate fryer, so confirm that if it matters to you.
Worth asking?
For the Wednesday or Sunday roast, how do you keep it gluten-free — gravy, roast potatoes, no Yorkshire? Are the gluten-free chips and fries cooked in a separate fryer, or shared with the battered cod and scampi? Beyond the roast and chips, what else can the kitchen prepare gluten-free?
What this means for coeliacs
The Wednesday and Sunday roast can be served gluten-free with gluten-free gravy, and staff are knowledgeable about gluten-free requests — a handling-level signal beyond marked menu items. Shared-fryer arrangement for chips/fries remains to confirm.
