The Wellington Arms

Our first visit. We cannot praise thank The Wellie highly enough. What a find! Peacefully rural on a quiet road to the south of Baughurst. A classic, pretty country pub, now converted to an excellent restaurant, with three rooms. What strikes you first is how immaculate The Wellie is, inside and out. The large garden is a delight. Masses of dahlias and all manner of bushes and plants. Birds, birds and more birds. Do check out the vegetable garden beyond the rear car park. You then walk inside to the warmest of relaxed welcomes from the owners, Simon and Jason, and manager, Sheila, and their lovely young helpers. Nothing is too much trouble. The first thing you’ll spot is the array of fruit,...

I realise that I’ve been to The Welli three times and have never left a review – shame on me! This is one of the best, well organised, well-run gastro pubs in the UK and deserves every accolade it receives. The staff are gracious, warm and welcoming from the word go to the very end and you could, on that basis alone, only want to come back; the food is well thought out with something for everyone and especially game in season; the veg grows yards from the door and is un-mucked-about and left to sing for itself; the wine list used to be stupendous but unfortunately, Covid meant they had to sell their stocks to keep going; so now it is shortened but well-formed. Saying that, they only charged...

The Wellington Arms is outstanding in every way. From the quality of the ingredients and cooking to the gorgeous wines, it was a wonderful experience for all the senses. The location is beautiful and tranquil, with a warm and welcoming charm that continues into a cozy 'old pub' ambience. The main building and accommodation are well-maintained and beautifully presented. The professionalism and care of the staff shine through in every aspect of the experience. The Wellington Arms is a genuine gem, head and shoulders above other establishments of its type. It exudes quality, care, and attention to detail without being pretentious. It is quietly wonderful and the perfect balance of excellence. O...

This is the perfect place for an idyllic lunch on a sunny day. The garden that you are invited to eat in is a delight so much so that I can't fairly say much about the inside of this establishment as I was completely charmed and captivated by the garden and outside space! I can have nothing but compliments too for our waitress. She was knowledgeable about the menu, friendly and efficient. And the menu...oh goodness. What a lunch we had! My husband even had desert, which is very rare, as he had so enjoyed his meal he wanted to keep doing so. So why would you go to the Wellington Arms at Baughurst...why for wonderful food in a wonderful garden prepared and served by wonderful people! Thank you... Reserva una mesa ahora

The Wellington Arms offers a luxurious experience without any pretentiousness. We stayed in "The Apartment" room, which was a beautifully decorated suite with high-end furniture and all the amenities we could need. The attention to detail was superb, with high-quality products and thoughtful touches throughout. After dinner in the restaurant, we returned to our room to find the curtains drawn, soft music playing, and the bed prepared for a good night's sleep. Dinner was delicious, with locally sourced and seasonal options for all tastes. The service was impeccable. Breakfast was also fantastic. Overall, great value for money, especially for a Thursday night stay. Highly recommend and would d...

This is such a great restaurant I've ended up going twice in one week. Between both visits, I had the excellent home-grown stuffed courgette flowers, a perfectly cooked ribeye, fantastic chicken potpie with foraged mushrooms, plus an exquisite elderflower trifle and some of the homemade ice creams. Plus some of the best brownies I've ever tried to take away. Everything on the menu is cooked perfectly. It's an especially nice touch that a lot of produce is home-grown and some available to buy and take away with you. To top it all off, the service is friendly and really welcoming, plus a great drinks list. This has comfortably become my new favourite place to eat.

I requested a 7:00 pm reservation, but nothing was available until 7:45 pm. When I arrived, there were only four other diners seated. We were placed by the front door and a drafty window. The food was average considering the high prices. My meal, which cost £30, ended up totaling £92, as the server used the card machine for a contactless payment and added a 10% gratuity without my consent. I only realized this after examining the receipt at home. I do not plan on returning to this restaurant.

Attention to detail was fantastic from Simons warm welcome, the venue itself and all those little extras in the room. A wonderful nights sleep in an extremely comfortable bed and a lovely shower with the best smelling products which we are wanting to buy for home. Breakfast was very special too…highly recommended.

Return visit with friends. Another excellent quality meal. Meals are not cheap, but you are paying for something special. Reservations essential.
