We visited the Horse & Groom tonight to see the Marco Pierre White's 'makeover' for ourselves. The bar was gloomy and uncomfortable and lacking only the fishing nets hanging from the ceiling to make it more reminiscent of a c.1600 smugglers hideout in Cornwall than a country pub in Wiltshire. The wooden mini barstools and benches at small tables in... More

This was the first time I had tried the Horse & Groom (now badged under Marco Pierre White's Wheelers of St James's). I've always liked the pub but it had become a little scruffy in the past few years. The whole place has been given a makeover (inside & out) and it's the better for it. Gone is the delapidated...

Marco Pierre White's country pub with exquisite food tastefully decorated with a lovely ambience and friendly staff. The menu changes pretty much daily so always something good to try. Certainly one to try if your in the area and one for future visits by me

We responded to a Groupon deal and booked two nights at the Horse and Groom in March. Slightly nervous because we had never done a Groupon deal before and some of the reviews were less than flattering, we weren't sure what to expect. However, our fears were groundless. The welcome was warm, our bedroom in the roof was very comfortable... More

I have been a great fan of the Horse and Groom at Charlton for several years and have introduced numerous friends and relatives to their tables, but their Valentine Night Special was very disappointing. We discussed it at the time and were fobbed off with a sort of apology, but nothing satisfactory, so we followed that up with an e... More

Having visited this pub / restaurant a number of times before with varying degrees of sucess, we decided to give it another try since the arrival of the Marco Pierre White logo. The restaurant was very quiet with little atmosphere, but it was a Monday night in March. The menu lacked imagination and was trying to be both pub and... More

We had a lovely 2 night stay at the Horse and Groom, both our bedroom and bathroom were as we would have expected. Looking at previous reviews, yes the walls were thin and the quilt may have been a little small but nothing major to stop us sleeping. The staff were all very helpful, the pub log fire very inviting... More

When it comes down to it, the basic requirement for any hotel/b&b is a good night's sleep. This was sadly lacking at the Horse & Groom Inn for two reasons:- Reason 1: Our room had a bright green (what I can only describe as) emergency light above the door, which illuminated the room with a luminous green glow. Surely this... More

This is our 3rd visit to the Horse & Groom Inn. It is very convenient as a stop-over for us if we are traveling to Wales or the South West. The fact that we have stayed 3 times says it all. In fact the pub/dining is now part of the Marco-Pierre White Group. The quality of the rooms is fabulous,... More
