Visited Blandys after having spa treatments at Natura. The staff are polite and welcoming. The Chef had taken our food requests to the finest detail. A wonderful afternoon tea to celebrate my parents wedding anniversary.

This restaurant is really wonderful. The staff is friendly and eager to assist with any request, and the food is absolutely fantastic. It's a hidden gem that I can't believe I didn't find sooner, even though I live nearby.

We were fascinated that this up market care home/sheltered accommodation would have a restaurant open to the public. The house is glorious and seems like an hotel in many respects. We ate in the garden in lovely sunshine and ordered from a very small menu. Some of our meal was lovely, one main was overcooked and very small. However, it was a pleasant lunch and I'm glad we went. Nice staff and gastopub prices.

I went to this restaurant with my wife and a friend for lunch. The restaurant is located in a beautiful Georgian building that has been restored to its former glory as part of a luxury retirement complex. The dining area is spacious with tables well spread out and covered in elegant linen. The menu offered a fantastic variety of courses, all of which were excellently prepared and presented. Though the Malbec was a bit pricey at £28, it was definitely worth the cost. Two of us opted for the duck while our friend chose the sea bream, all of which came with delicious sides. For dessert, we enjoyed the Creme Brulee. We finished off the meal with coffee.

We 've eaten at Blandy 's several times prior to and after covid. I booked lunch last week through the website for Bank Holiday Monday taking a 95 year old relative for a lunch treat. Arrived to time receptionists a chef having a jolly good natter. When we gave our name for the restaurant, One receptionist commented 'we 're closed today, sic having a bar b que, sic I emailed you, sic the booking system should not have taken your booking, sic there 's a nice pub down the road, let me open the door for you . A courtesy call suggesting Sunday lunch may have been more appropriate? Had we have been late for lunch would Blandy 's have e mailed or called? Perhaps as recession looms guests should be...

I booked Blandy’s for a friends 29th birthday following a Google search of best places for afternoon tea in Wiltshire. Whilst I would definitely agree the food was lovely, unfortunately I don’t think it’s made clear on the website that the restaurant is located within a retirement village. Whilst I appreciate the choice to not advertise this clearly may be a conscious decision, unfortunately it left me feeling like I had been misled and disappointed. I vocalised my disappointment to the lady on the front desk and she completely understood my concerns, saying I wasn’t the first person to give this feedback. Lovely food but I would strongly recommend being more upfront with location and target...

Visited for Afternoon Tea with friends. Reception was welcoming but unfortunately that was our last good experience. We had booked for 4 but our friend had to go to A&E at the last minute. They couldn’t have cared less and insisted on serving all 4 teas and charging us full price for 4, even when we explained the emergency situation. Sandwiches were all pre-made and there was no indication of what these would be before they were served. One of our party is gluten-free and when she was given gluten-free sandwiches that she couldn’t eat, she asked to change them and was told there was only enough gluten-free bread for what they’d already made so she had to have those. The tea itself was fine,...

We had planned to make a reservation at Blandy's for a Festive Menu lunch with friends. The website and menu indicated that the menu was available from 12 noon to 8.00pm, so we chose to book a table at 1.00pm to have ample time to enjoy a leisurely meal and catch up in a pleasant atmosphere. However, we were surprised to receive a booking confirmation stating that our table was reserved for only one hour from 1.00 to 2.00pm. I reached out to the restaurant to clarify this discrepancy. After a second email, they informed me that despite the advertised times, the restaurant actually operates from 12 noon to 2.00pm for lunch and then reopens from 5.00 to 8.00pm for dinner. This meant that we wo...
