About the restaurant

MICHELIN Green Star | Bib Gourmand | At Pythouse Kitchen Garden, you'll find an idyllic atmosphere in which to enjoy fantastic food. We offer covered outdoor seating in our glorious garden and indoor seating in the conservatory and potting shed. Pythouse Kitchen Garden is a lunchtime destination only at present.

Head chef Darren Broom's passion lies in producing food with an unmistakable sense of terroir. For Darren, provenance is not just the backstory to his ingredients, it’s everywhere in the look, feel and taste of his food.

We are keen to champion our own produce first and foremost, providing guests with a unique and ever-changing insight into the seasons. We work closely with the garden team to manage and maintain the garden and to deliver a programme of regeneration and sustainability.

About the restaurant

The Ox Barn is a 56-seater destination restaurant under the direction of Head Chef, Charlie Hibbert. Rooted in a passion for the local land, food and entertaining, the carefully curated menus are farm-based and plant-inspired. His team and the gardeners at Thyme work together to select and grow the fruits, vegetables and herbs used to create his Modern British Countryside fare.

The nineteenth century former oxen house is the newest addition to the family of meticulously restored farm buildings. A state-of-the-art piece of agricultural architecture at its conception, Caryn Hibbert worked meticulously to preserve the soaring archways and original Cotswold stone rubble walls, to now house a modern, dining destination - including a contemporary bar and seven and a half metre Charvet open kitchen - to allow for an authentic, heritage-rich dining experience, enabled by today’s best culinary technologies.

Despite being reasonably well educated, I have struggled to conjure a fraction of the suite of befittingly superlative adjectives Thyme deserves. That said, I wouldn't want in any event to deny anyone the overwhelmingly breathtaking delight in experiencing this oasis for the first time. So to that end, I will only give very special mention to the incredible team that made our visit complete. Led by James, Maitre d' of note, the whole crew who clearly love being there, were a pleasure to meet. Thank you!

With the famous Salisbury Cathedral just a five minute walk away, we're ideally situated for a delicious breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner stop while you explore this magnificent city. Sit back, relax and enjoy our superb French fare in our bright, stylish interior - or opt for an al fresco meal in the sunshine, on one of our outdoor tables. Salisbury Playhouse is only around the corner, so we're the perfect spot for that pre-theatre treat. Plus with Salisbury Train Station just a ten minute walk away, we're easily accessible to locals and visitors alike.

Food and service at this representative of a ubiquitous chain is always good. At 9:30 pm on a Saturday night, it was quite quiet, but that’s normal for Salisbury. There is music, which is unnecessary, intrusive and detracts from the atmosphere of a French restaurant it tries to cultivate. There was very little choice of rosé wine which, given the restaurant was featuring southern French cuisine, was a shame. Luckily, the reliability of the menu (both the Breton fish stew and the duck à l’orange were excellent) and the friendliness of the service, outweighed these drawbacks. Overall, it makes an excellent contribution to Salisbury’s amenities and we recommend it.
