1) The Methuen Arms, Corsham
Boasting bags of character and charm, The Methuen Arms is the sort of pub that’s always full on a Sunday night. The Georgian coaching inn is set in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside, immediately next to the stately home and incredible grounds of Corsham Court. Cosy on the inside and boasting a sunny beer garden outside, this dog-friendly pub has a relaxed vibe with scrubbed wooden tables and an ambitious menu. Locally made bread is served with cheese and pickle butter, and roasted cauliflower, katsu and coconut ensure that vegetarians and vegans are provided for. There are 15 types of greens available on the menu, and they even serve honey from their own hives!

2) The Bunch of Grapes, Bradford-on-Avon
One of the jewels in the crown of Bradford-on-Avon’s Georgian streets is the recently revamped The Bunch of Grapes; a family-run pub and restaurant which focuses on high quality produce and service. Decorated with varying hues of grey and exposed lightbulbs, The Bunch of Grapes is run by husband-and-wife team Tony Casey (Head Chef) and Maylee Speller (Operations Director). Their seasonal menus aim to highlight British ingredients at their best, sourcing the finest beverages from suppliers in the south-west of England. On the seven-course tasting menu, the beetroot with truffled goat’s cheese is a particular highlight, and their Sunday roast lamb with salsa verde is to die for. Their food has been recognised with entries in the Michelin Guide and The Good Food Guide, and they have even won two AA rosettes.

3) Sign of the Angel, Lacock
Sign of the Angel is a charming, 15th Century coaching inn, reminiscent of a storybook drawing with low-slung beams and large inglenook fireplaces. Having taken over the property five years ago, brothers Tom and Jack Nicholas renovated the once-tired pub and devised an innovative menu to match its new splendour. Delicious dishes are created using fresh, seasonal ingredients from local, sustainable suppliers in the West Country. Highlights include a seven-course tasting menu featuring Cornish mackerel terrine with pea mousse, and a melt-in-the-mouth local cheese platter. The easy-going atmosphere indoors is continued outside in the beautiful garden, where visitors can enjoy an ice cream next to the stream or share a bottle of wine among friends.
Distance from Mill Farm Glamping: 22-minute drive.
4) Red Lion Freehouse, Pewsey
A traditional 18th Century country pub set in the Vale of Pewsey, the Red Lion Freehouse is a family owned and run establishment recommended by the Michelin Guide and celebrated with three AA Rosettes for its culinary success. A fantastic range of local, hand-pumped beer and cider, creative cocktails, fine wines, and home-made drinks are accompanied by an amazing À La Carte menu, five course tasting menu, and bar snacks available for lunch and dinner; all inspired by natural flavours and a classic cooking technique. The Red Lion is conveniently situated for those exploring Stonehenge or travelling down the A303.
