Their number is 01672 851705. Just called them and yes, they are open during the week after Easter. Their new website is under construction so that’s why there’s no up-to-date info available.

Enjoy :-)

If you haven’t been there already you might want to try the Bridge Inn on Horton Road (a few miles down the Kennet and Avon Canal from Devizes). Easy off-road parking, the food is good and reasonably priced, and there’s a big beer garden right by the Canal.

Managed to visit this wonderful pub on our way to stonehenge , but we were shocked to hear that they intend to paint over the wonderfully iconic painted ceiling .
