Our 3rd time dining here, and definitely not the last. Every mouthful was a joy, real food cooked and served imaginatively, in beautiful surroundings with unhurried friendly service.

The service & food were fantastic and I’d definitely recommend coming to the Merryfellow. We were distracted by the 4 kids who kept running round the whole pub loudly (kids will be kids) whilst we were trying to eat which was the only detractors. Will be back for another meal & visit soon.

At the Foxham, we are all about food and drink! We are passionate about local, seasonal and sustainable produce and source as much of our ingredients from local farms, growers and suppliers.

The fish of the day, cod with leeks in lemon butter, was delicious, cooked absolutely perfectly. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the dish did not come with potatoes, so we had to add them as an extra. £5 each for 4 small herbed new potatoes, however nice, was not good value, and was annoying. All the other menu choices appeared to be complete dishes, so why not this one?

Honestly one of my favorite, if not my favourite place to dine in Gloucester. The bar is a really unique style matched with great tasting drinks. The food is beautiful and authentic and the staff are just amazingly accommodating and polite. Genuinely couldn't recommend it enough. Thank you for another great evening 👏

This new addition to the Malmesbury High street is perfect! The staff are amazing and so accommodating! We have been twice, once as a couple and once as a family and both times were very enjoyable. We will be visiting again!

About the restaurant

Richard, Beth and Team are delighted to welcome you their charming, 18th Century Pub, The Dumb Post Inn, a picturesque village pub situated in the village of Bremhill, with good links to the stunning City of Bath.

Conveniently situated between Calne and Chippenham, with beautiful views over the nearby Bowood estate, The Dumb Post is an award winning, traditional country gastropub, offering quality cask ales and exceptional home cooked food using locally sourced ingredients.

Family owned since 2009, but only managed by the family since 2019, Richard stepped away from his career as an aircraft engineer, to protect this much loved pub and to ensure that The Dumb Post could run to its potential.

Richard and Beth both grew up in Bremhill and are driven by a passion for the area as well as this historic, family owned pub. They take enormous pride in offering the best local produce available, including the family farm for their supply of lamb and beef.

Been a long time since going to Dumb Post Inn but the food was even better than previously and it was amazing back then. The flavours on the Sunday roast were so mouth watering and the plates were pretty much clean. Absolutely loved the red cabbage as well so many restaurants don't manage to make it that tasty
