Phenomenal food with lots of options to keep you coming back. Service was amazing. If you want a casual drink rather than a meal the bar is also available.

The food is incredible! The best I have had in a long time, but the best experience of coming here is the service! The service is simply outstanding! We went a few times and they remembered our names, our drink order and our food order from the previous visit! The food is incredible and every dish is delicious, but the service is second to none! I’ve eaten in some amazing fancy restaurants, and this place puts all of them to shame! Every time I’m in the area I will be for sure going here, even if it’s just to get that level of amazing and professional service! I never write reviews but this place and the amazing team absolutely are worth the praise. I can’t wait to go back.

Ate the Nepalese food here. The food I ordered was amazing. Some of the other curry dishes didn't carry as much flavour. Calamari is incredible though.

Came to this pub for a meal whilst visiting Trowbridge. Bar is very pleasant and serves a great pint of Butcombe Best. Restaurant is a real find - delicious Nepalese food, friendly service and a very pleasant feel. We had a delicious selection of vegetable dishes and were delighted with the standard of the food. Thank you, Lion and Fiddle team
