Timbrels Yard is a great development, and a positive addition to the Wiltshire dining scene. We were celebrating a grandparents birthday, but the promise wasn't quite met.
The ambiance of the man restaurant was a little too loud, and a little too rustic to be cosy, but that can be overlooked. (and improved with some softer decorative additions to dampen the noise.
It was Sunday Lunch, so a limited menu was to be expected, but while the Roast choice was fabulous, the options away from that were limited, and no bar menu was available (a pity).
The appetizers were wonderful, and we loved the pricing options here.
We went from these into the main courses. Our children opted for roast (pork and chicken) both good choices it seemed. We went for the plaice, which was not so good, the base was soggy and tasteless, meaning half the fish was somewhat wasted. On reflection we should have chosen the roast (beef looked amazing).
Wine choice was great, and a good range at reasonable prices on offer.
Service was not to the level i would have expected, staff were a little disinterested (not in an aloof way, more a bored way).
I actually slipped down the stairs returning from the toilets, the receptionist and a waiter noticed, but seemed far from concerned, I was fine as it turned out, but noted to them that the top of the step was very slippy (due perhaps to the rain outside) a lack of reaction is not good.
Overall a little disappointed. The food was very good in places, but missed a few times too, value-wise, it was perhaps a little pricey for the return.
And the front of house staff let it down. However. I would like to revisit perhaps on an evening to see if a wider menu offers better value, and if the atmosphere would be better than a rainy Sunday afternoon.
I so want to give this place a chance to shine.
