As you arrive at the pub, you enter a characteristic and relaxed bar area with a roaring log burner, serving a wide selection of premium beers, ales and wines.

For the food lovers, we boast a beautiful 60 cover dining room with exposed oak beams and an open kitchen. You can expect anything from classic pub dishes to our seafood specialities, prepared by our highly skilled team of chefs.

When the weather is on our side, the new beer garden is full of atmosphere with its own ‘renovated’ horsebox bar. Relaxed seating overlooks the beautiful view of rolling hills of the north Wiltshire countryside.

At the Foxham, we are all about food and drink! We are passionate about local, seasonal and sustainable produce and source as much of our ingredients from local farms, growers and suppliers.

The pub boasts two beautiful en-suite guest rooms, perfect for a weekend getaway, a stopover on your travels, or just to get away from everything!

    We had a lovely meal at the Foxham. Great the food was delicious, particularly the specials. The staff were lovely. Our friends brought their dog which are not allowed in the restaurant so the staff set up a table for 8 in the bar area for us.

    Fantastic food but sadly don’t take allergies seriously. Having put on the booking and reinforced to server I am coeliac I was handed a roast with a Yorkshire pudding. I questioned this where it was returned to the (open) kitchen. I watched the chef remove the Yorkshire and try to send the same plate back to me. The waitress thankfully told him no and I received a fresh plate but don’t have confidence to return when allergies are dismissed so lightly.

    The overall experience was quite pleasant, the price for the offering was not great as the price. Even with a voucher purchased by a friend the bill was still relatively high in regards to other fine dining.

    Lovely food though not enough sundries, eg we had to request extra gravy. Overall a really enjoyable meal - but parking is a bit of an issue.

    Superb! Will definitely return. Beef Wellington was melt in the mouth, accompanying puree roasted veg and Yorkshire pudding were amazing. Deserts were amazing! Excellent ale and wines too...

    Delicious food, friendly and attentive service, nice ambience. We visited on a night when a big group were also dining, it didn’t affect our experience at all, we sat right in front of the kitchen which our little boy loved and we could see the chefs preparing the wonderful food. The serving staff were very friendly and welcoming. We’d definitely go back if we were in the area again.

    It's the second time at the Foxham and it didn't disappoint. This time we decided to go on a Saturday to try the seafood. It was quiet when we arrived, so were able to pick where we sat. The waitress (forgot to get her name again) was as,lovely as the Sunday before , even though it got busier and she was serving the food as well the bar, she wasn't flustered and made,time to check on us and chat. I had the grilled lobster with fries and truffle mayonnaise, my mum had the place with new potatoes ....both were absolutely divine, ...I went and complimented the chef ,who also was lovely. Can't rate this place enough!

    This is a super fish restaurant. We were there on a very quiet Wednesday night so I’m sure the ambience would improve with more people. The waiter was super attentive without being over the top. The food was marvellous and I loved the fact you could watch the chef working. Worth the drive (40mins) and we will definitely return.

    My mum and I,have, for the past 18 months been going to different pubs on a Sunday for a roast. A couple we have gone back as their roasts were good, however, the roast at the Foxham was a whole other level! THE best to date, the Yorkshire was large, meat melt in the mouth, potatoes as they should be, crispy on the outside ,fluffy on the inside...and the gravy, no granules used here! Thick ,beef stock, decent sized meal as well. Freddie, the owner was gracious and friendly, taking my mum's coat for her and pulling out her chair...the waitress was lovely, smiley and genuinely interested in us ,to us service is just as important as the food, I don't care if the food is the best in the world, if the staff are not friendly, I won't be back....no danger of that here though, lovely staff. We were sat by the open kitchen which was fab, everything the chef was doing could be seen.....absolutely stunning pub that has it all. We are going back Saturday to sample the lobster as it also has an amazing seafood menu and we love our seafood, can't wait to go again. If you haven't been here, you're definitely missing out!
