Water Meadow

We had such a warm, inviting, and nothing is too much trouble welcome! Superb staff! I mean superb, so helpful, friendly and confidently championing there workplace. Treacle was so kind and lovely and the guy who welcomed us, I didn’t catch his name - was amazing! They both made our lunch fun and we felt so valued and cared for! I’ve eaten in some very exclusive restaurants and the staff here are up there with the best in hospitality! The giant Yorkshire Pudding filled roast dinner is enormous! But very very delicious. Trifle cheesecake was rather tasty too!

Food was nicely prepared, and I loved the chips, the meat was tender and plenty of it. The service was very quick and courteous and couldn't be more helpful

We were served by Paula last night and didn't she do such a great job. I mean she was amazing. Very professional and kind. You can just tell that she was amazing when you meet her. The service was very fast. We didn't need to send our food back. Quality of the food was hot and delicious. Can't wait to come back.

Very nice pub with great food! Lots of options to choose from on the menu. Been here a few times and keep coming back.

Great welcoming pub with delicious cooked dishes. We love to try new restaurants and pubs and can say I have an experience being chef for years myself. Good place for traditional food that is cooked properly. Thank you!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Water Meadow in Melksham with my wife, mother, and children, and it was truly an enjoyable experience for the whole family. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the incredibly attentive and cheerful waitstaff, who made us feel welcome and ensured that our evening was perfect in every way. The menu offered something for everyone, including a variety of delicious vegetarian options that my mother, a vegetarian, thoroughly enjoyed. She opted for The Ultimate Veggie Burger, which was a delightful combination of deep-fried sweetcorn and Croxton Manor Cheddar patty. It was topped with tangy salsa, and BBQ cauliflower wings, and smothered in a rich nacho cheese sauce. The flavours and textures were spot-on, making it a truly satisfying choice. My wife decided to try the Hunter’s Chicken, which was a beautifully roasted chicken breast topped with melted Mozzarella & Cheddar cheese, and crispy bacon, all smothered in a generous helping of BBQ sauce. The dish was served with crispy chips, a half-grilled tomato, and beer-battered onion rings, and topped with fresh rocket. She was particularly impressed by how tender and flavourful the chicken was, and the combination of the BBQ sauce with the melted cheeses were simply delicious. As for me, I indulged in the Mega Mixed Grill, and it exceeded my expectations. The dish was a carnivore’s dream, featuring two tender chicken breasts, two 4oz aged rump steaks, two 4oz gammon steaks, and four Cumberland pork sausages. Each item was perfectly cooked, and the accompanying chips, peas, tomato, and mushrooms were the perfect complement. It was a hearty and satisfying meal that I would highly recommend to anyone with a big appetite! The desserts were just as impressive, with one small exception. My son ordered the Sticky Toffee Pudding, but unfortunately, he didn’t enjoy it because it contained pieces of dates, which he wasn’t expecting. However, the waitstaff noticed this immediately and, without us even asking, kindly offered to swap it out for the Chocolate Fudge Cake. This gesture was much appreciated, and the Chocolate Fudge Cake turned out to be a big hit with him – rich, moist, and decadently chocolatey. I, myself, couldn’t resist the Salted Caramel Cookie Brownie for dessert. This decadent treat featured a rich brownie base layered with gooey chocolate ganache, topped with a soft chocolate chip cookie and drizzled with salted caramel sauce. The dessert was served with a generous helping of chocolate sauce and vanilla-flavoured ice cream, creating a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and creamy flavours. It was the ideal way to end an already wonderful meal. Overall, our experience at The Water Meadow was exceptional. The combination of delicious food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere made this pub a standout choice in Melksham. Whether you’re dining as a family or just looking for a hearty meal, I highly recommend it to anyone who values both quality food and outstanding service.

I haven't been here often, but when I do, it always seems to be for my birthday! Had a lovely lunch with my sister & her baby. The waiter/barman greeted us very kindly, considering we were at the door waiting for it them to open. It was a little awkward at first a woman sat counting money in the public area (but again we were early) I had the light steak, which tasted amazing and came with a garnish of salad, my sister had the philly steak baguette, which came with a LOT of chips. I personally think less chips and a light garnish would of been better, same with the steak. But I always like 3 parts to my meals (personal opinion. ) the very juicy steak and attentive barman made it for me.
