"Excited to return to one of our favourite pubs for dinner. It had been several years since we’d visited, and this evening was a little special to treat a very good friend. For mains I ordered scampi, chips and peas. First of all when you order scampi you would expect to receive scampi but no I did not. What was on my plate was tasteless prawns in bread crumbs. To top that, there were only eight of them with a plate three quarters covered in pale yellow chips, and a small bowl of peas. That for £17.00 did not go down well. My friend ordered, salmon filet with sweet chilli sauce, rice and Pak Choi. The rice and Pak Choi were stone cold. The salmon was nice. My friend struggled to enjoy her meal and being typically English did not want to complain. I, however and Mediterranean and if the food is no good then I will politly say something. I informed the waitress that the rice and Pak Choi were cold, which she kindly took back to the chef only to return it several minutes later steaming hot with the fish now completely dried out. I informed her that I was not happy to be paying for scampi only to have prawns which were tasteless, hidden in thick breadcrumbs and not been informed that the scampi would be substituted by the chef and not have the decency to inform the customer. My only conclusion is that the chef couldn’t possibly tell the difference between prawns and scampi. No personal came to offer an explanation, let alone apologise. The two waitresses were lovely. Daylight robbery! Will not return or recommend."

We arrived without booking, 8 of us and 3 horses and had light lunch and drinks. They couldn't have been more kind or helpful. Thank you

The restaurant offers an excellent selection of beers in great condition. The staff was helpful and the food was delicious. We tried the Sunday Roast, which was exceptionally tasty.

I went to Aldbourne because it was featured in an episode of Doctor Who. I stopped by the pub for lunch, and the staff noticed my Doctor Who t-shirt. They pointed out the Doctor Who display in the corridor between the bar and restrooms. I ordered a light lunch and a drink, and both the staff and other customers were very friendly and polite.

I went for lunch with three friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The menu was both extensive and interesting, offering a wide variety of options from bar snacks to full lunches. The burgers were especially delicious, and the special of Venison with sautéed sweet potato was a particularly satisfying and tasty choice. We couldn't find any faults with our food. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere and the staff were friendly and efficient.

Proper English country pub, good selection of wines and beers, including well kept ales. Varied menu, far from your basic pub grub, everything we have tried has been excellent. Smiley happy staff, very friendly chef personally comes out of the kitchen to check all is well. Nice comfy ambiance inside and chilled outdoor seating overlooking a very English green. Really like this place, good value, and interesting connections with both Dr Who and The Screaming Eagles. Worth a stop.

Probably the worst coffee and toasties ever. My wife and I tried lunch ordering 2 flat white coffees and two chicken and mozzarella toasties on brown bread. Firstly both coffees were that strong you could virtually stand a spoon up in them. Toasties were hard old stale bread with a small amount of chicken and shredded mozzarella cheese. Anybody who knows mozzarella knows it is wet and cannot be shredded, this cheese was tasteless and not mozzarella. The bread was old and dry, made worst by toasting. The whole lot cost £17, we will not be visiting this pub again.

Came here inspired by dr who (Jon Pertwee days) but had a wonderful day out. The village is gorgeous, a real time capsule. Did a lovely walk up to 4 barrows. Well worth the views. Then a look around the very interesting church. The Blue boar is on the village green. A lovely old pub with good seating outside. Quaint pub atmosphere in front room and a restaurant area at the back. Service excellent. Coffee very tasty and the food for lunch was excellent. Homemade not shipped in! Chef even came round to ask if it was ok. It definitely was! And of course Wadworth beer and red wine very tasty. Highly recommended

The Blue Boar was used by members of Easy Company during WW2 and also has a good selection of photographs and copies of personal letters. This establishment was, apparently, restricted to officers only although ordinary servicemen could use it provided there were no officers present. The pub looks attractive from the outside. However, my wife and I found it lacked character and was slightly chilly even though the weather was warm and sunny outside. I ordered a salmon fillet with Pok Choy and boiled rice. Unfortunately, the rice came without any type of dressing or sauce and the salmon was a quite small piece. When I complained about the presentation, they did provide a small dish of sweet ch...

We stopped off here on our way home to Wales from Gatwick Airport. Our main reason was to see the village; being Doctor Who fans we wanted to see one of the most celebrated locations in the show's history. Aldbourne became Devils End for the classic serial Daemons starring Jon Pertwee. However on the off chance, we asked if they could accommodate our party (10 people) which they could and so we sat down to one of the absolute best dining experiences I have ever had. The food was excellent, both in terms of the choices on the menu and the standard of cooking. They also serve a good range of fine ales (including Wadworths 6X a simply stunning beer). The staff were wonderful, so friendly and we...

"The best thing about our experience was the telephone booking for a special lunch. Lovely, friendly, helpful person who noted that it was my wife’s 50th and would pass this on so the staff could ensure that this would be a great and memorable occasion.Lovely day, the sun shining, and the setting glorious – but the moment we entered, things were not as anticipated – a “matter of fact” greeting, perhaps acceptable in an ordinary 3 star hotel, but little warmth – a vague, “who are you?” from the maître d’ on entering the restaurant, as if we were intruding on their comfortably empty dining room and they would be called to work – and a rather “take it or leave it” from the waitress, though we did get an embarrassed smile on one occasion – the only smile we received all lunchtime.The menu was rather unexciting – I ought to have looked on line first Very little range, though lunches probably don’t have a resident chef at that time of day, so that might limit the available options: baguette, beetroot tartare with rice, burger, black bean burger, fish and chips tarted up with “Iford cider”, tagliatelle, a gnocchi, sirloin steak, and a “superfood salad” with choice between chicken breast, smoked salmon, and tofu. We opted for the latter, one chicken, two salmon, and added 3 extra sides (great idea with us choosing pork belly, polenta chips and gougère. Having taken our order we were told, “sorry, there’s no gougère,” so we chose the “crispy calamari” instead.For drinks we chose the local Kettlesmith beer, which I enjoy anyway, and an alcohol free Pink Negroni. The latter arrived and was so alcoholic it could well have made our driver fail a breath test on the spot – maybe that was why we were billed £11.50 for the replacement, an unadorned, ungarnished glass, mainly of ice cubes that rapidly melted into a warm alcohol-free wishy-washy liquid I suppose we should not have expected too much of an alcohol free cocktail, normally of gin and vermouth .. but what was quite unacceptable was that the thin strip of orange peel that had enhanced the original, probably quite lovely cocktail, was absent and no one had bothered to replace it, not even with a sprig of mint!Well, maybe the food might make up for it? No such luck. The attractive, large ceramic bowls were generously filled with a range of leaves, but the kale, hard and chewy as kale at the end of a hard winter, (or a mature chard) failed in a desperate attempt to masquerade as tender. The chicken dumped atop was bland, with any taste poached out of it, and the salmon was just ordinary farm-bred, cheap supermarket salmon. I loved the pork belly – could have had a full plate of that! – but the polenta chips were pretty mushy under a tasteless crumbly, far from crispy cover, and the replaced calamari a disaster – far from “Crispy”, they drooped into a bowl, batter hanging off, and the cooking oil that welled at the bowl apex typified the lacklustre attention of the kitchen, examples of whom waddled in and out with shoulder-burdened posture and bored, inattentive facial expressions that seemed to typify the rest of the on duty staff on what should have been a happy celebrative half-a-century birthday – an occasion that not one member of staff had even bothered to acknowledge!The setting is a typical local Jacobean building with Victorian additions and a lovely green countryside overview. The garden has a few choice plants, shrubs and trees but could have been cared for more attentively. The view from the restaurant needed more care and a bit of back-bending weeding. The restaurant was tired and disappointing, but the architecture holding up the ceiling glass was imaginative and the lighting, if needed, would have been exciting. Perhaps the brown-edged, ailing leaves on the table and wall plant decorations were typical of this establishment’s attitude to making what should have been a joyful occasion into one that made us never, ever want to grace it with our presence again."
