May 3 : 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Free – £17.50
A visually rich spread showcasing a traditional Ploughman's Buffet. The image features an inviting assortment of classic British buffet items. In the foreground, various types of cheeses, including blocks of hard yellow cheese and marbled blue cheese, are arranged with care. Surrounding the cheese are fresh green grapes, slices of cured meats, pickles, and cherry tomatoes, creating a vibrant mix of textures and colors. Small dishes containing chutneys or jams are interspersed among the items, adding depth and variety to the display. Fresh herbs and delicate white flowers are thoughtfully scattered around, enhancing the rustic, artisanal appeal of the spread. In the bottom right, a container holds wooden skewers for easy serving. Large, bold text in a classic serif font reads 'Ploughman's Buffet,' prominently displayed over the center of the image. The background includes a hint of dark green wall paneling, adding a cozy, traditional British pub atmosphere to the presentation.

Make and Enjoy Your Perfect Ploughman’s Lunch with Our Ploughman’s Buffet

Take me to the tickets

Spring is here, so lets really get celebrating the best of Wiltshire with our Cheese & things unlimited Ploughman’s buffet.

Beside cheese, this ploughman’s will also have a side show of Pork Pies. There are many butchers and bakers up and down the land turning out superb Pork Pies. Whilst they may not be able to bear the “Melton” title, does that matter if they are excellent?  I want to explore what Wiltshire has to offer.

I think we may also need to explore less meaty pies too, as who can resist a top quality pie of any filling when done well – and whilst it’s impossible to do a Vegan Ploughman’s using locally produced food, it is very possible to do a vegetarian ploughman’s. Please feel free to message me with any suggestions of excellent produce you would like to see better known.

Besides the crowd-pleaser of a massive block of Somerset mature cheddar, there will be and array of Wiltshire, Somerset and Dorset Cheeses.  Cheeses including Wiltshire Loaf, Avebury (think Wiltshire Brie) and others from Brinkworth DairyDorset Red from Ford Farm, Either or both Brie and Camembert from Cricket St. Thomas, and many other, confirmed nearer the date.

And as always, the award winning, super local most amazing bread from Marshals Bakery. See how many Wiltshire Marque accredited products you can sample.

So, celebrate the best of local foods by creating your own perfect Ploughman’s.

Select from a plentiful supply of the finest ingredients: sample the bread, cheeses, ham, chutneys, and relishes. Enjoy fresh creamy butter, pies, pickles, and pâté. See what you like, and go back to craft your perfect Ploughman’s. Then maybe a bit more after…

We can offer gluten-free alternatives, and some are often available. Primarily these would be potato products, but we can provide rice or gluten-free bread upon request.

While dishes tend not to contain nuts, we cannot guarantee they are nut-free, as all foods are prepared in environments where nuts may be present.

Besides cheeses, pork-based products are heavily featured. If pork is unsuitable, please message us, and we will offer tasty alternatives.
