The Goat at Downton

About The Goat at Downton

A village pub on the Wiltshire/Hampshire edge that manages to be smart without being stiff — bright, clean, traditional bones with a modern lift, and roomy enough to get a buggy through and settle in. Free parking outside helps. The menu is long enough that fussy eaters and vegans both find something, alongside a kids' menu and high chairs, and food arrives quickly and properly hot. Portions are generous: Sunday roasts with tender meat, lobster mac and cheese filling enough to share, and a pudding menu worth saving room for. The beer garden has a good spread of seating for when children need to move. Staff stay patient and attentive, even with last-minute changes to numbers. It's a touch pricey and busy at weekends — one visitor calls it "quite posh" — so book ahead.
