British, Modern Restaurants in Amesbury
1. Red Lion at East Chisenbury
British, Modern restaurant in East Chisenbury
“This lovely neighbourhood star” – an 18th-century thatched pub-restaurant in the Vale of Pewsey, north of Stonehenge – “goes from strength to strength”: “Guy & Britt Manning don’t just turn out great food, they run a happy place that is as enjoyable for an ordinary lunch as for a special occasion” (and it accounted for numerous diners’ best meal of the year in the current poll). “We would be back more often if it wasn‘t so far away, but at least you can stay the night and enjoy their wonderful breakfasts, too”. Top Menu Tip – “their signature crab tart is as good as anything you’ll eat from The Ritz to Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons”.
2. Greyhound
British, Modern restaurant in Stockbridge
31 High Street - SO20
Reopened by Lucy Townsend a decade back – a “lovely old pub” (with ten rooms) delivering “wonderful, delicious seasonal food” that makes the most of the Kent larder, and where the “superb staff and welcome make every meal special” (it’s hotly in demand for romantic getaways). Top Tip – the “particularly good-value set lunch” (three courses £26.95 per person).
3. The Compasses Inn
British, Modern restaurant in Lower Chicksgrove
“A very comfortable old pub” (thatched and from the 14th century) that’s owned by Ben Maschler (son of restaurant critic Fay and formerly in charge of operations at Soho House); and which is consistently well-praised in reports for its standards. (The FT’s Tim Hayward visited in May 2024, and also pronounced himself a fan.)
