Wiltshire

<p>Hi Libby, thanks for your message, we&#8217;ll make an edit to this – though we would love to spend a few hours there!</p>


<p>Some wonderful suggestions.  I have a comment though which may seem a bit grudging.  Bunces is the first in your list and I agree that everything they serve is wonderful. It would be top of my list of places to eat in the Marlborough area except I’ve given up going as I can never get a table.  Please don’t encourage people to “set aside a good few hours to luxuriate” there, it is not helpful.  Bunces is very small and they need to keep customers moving to get covers to make money.  People lingering doesn’t help other potential customers who can’t get a table.  I do appreciate the sentiment of how wonderful Bunces is though</p>

<p>Bunces is ideal on those days when you&#8217;re extra hungry, because you&#8217;ll want to start with something savoury (our dining companion said the bacon and egg bun was the best breakfast he&#8217;d ever had!), before moving on to brunch pudding (the cakes are divine) finished with one of their fantastic coffees. </p>

<p>A firm favourite of ours if we&#8217;re looking for avocado on sourdough toast, or for a really great iced latte. There&#8217;s a friendly vibe in here and they display all sorts of local artwork on the walls which we&#8217;re forever tempted to invest in. </p>

<p>This North Wiltshire fave, <a href="https://wilts.muddystilettos.co.uk/eat-out/the-cricklade-club/">see Muddy review</a>, goes strong on brunch. You have the classics: berries &amp; compote, scrambles on sourdough &#8211; all done with top, often local, ingredients, and then you have the unexpected, hello spiced cauliflower taco with slaw, halloumi and sriracha mayo. There&#8217;s a laid-back Californian vibe meet English eccentric that is just so well suited to the most leisurely meal of the week.</p>

<p>Between Salisbury and Warminster, and near several NT properties, Bird and Carter also have a B&amp;B and farmshop (in Wilton). Freshly baked pastries, nutrijuices, Full English, whatever you chose you&#8217;ll be in good hands. There is some lovely tented seating outside. Last orders 11.45am</p>

<p><a href="https://wilts.muddystilettos.co.uk/little-black-book/directory/the-weaving-shed-bradford-on-avon-wiltshire/">This place is made for brunch</a>, with a vast terrace overlooking the Avon (with marquee right now), and a large airy interior. A distinctive menu, which is all great (and I think I have actually tried pretty much all of it&#8230;). Favourites include chorizo &amp; potato hash, American pancakes with bacon and maple syrup (surely one of the best dishes ever invented?) and poached eggs with Hollandaise &amp; asparagus. As good for a hungover read of the papers as for a proper celebration. Served til 12.</p>

<p>A mini West-Country chain, with some admirable eco-credentials, the BTP is a  relaxed affair. A long menu so good for the old school bacon classics right through to the vegetarian &amp; vegan (and the later has lots of options). Come for a full English, miso greens with eggs, overnight Bircher oats, American pancakes or scrambled tofu. Perfect for slackers &#8211; it&#8217;s served all day.</p>

<p>You&#8217;ll love the cafe&#8217;s new home in a vast barn, which is somehow very cosy. Alongside some splendid classics they serve a breakfast burrito, oat milk pancakes and huevos rancheros. Very child friendly, with Little Farmer portions, a play area and animals to visit. Served til 11.30am. And there is so much <a href="https://wilts.muddystilettos.co.uk/little-black-book/directory/hartley-farm-kitchen-winsley/">more than brunch</a>.</p>

<p>Pravin Nayer&#8217;s Asian /Scandinavian heritage really informs the flavours at this restaurant in a barn. Coconut curry with roti or chapati breakfast wraps are recommended, but the usuals are good too: yogurt with compote, full English &#8211; with some ingredients coming from their own garden. The setting just south of Bath is rural, rustic and totally charming.</p>

<p>This handsome old coaching inn in the heart of town has a stylish interior and a funky courtyard garden. Brunch on the usual suspects made with quality ingredients, or branch out with Shaksuka &#8211; baked eggs with spicy tomatoes, harissa, feta, yoghurt. Your dog&#8217;s welcome here too.</p>

<p>Always known for it&#8217;s delicious brunches, served with a side of very classy art, the Mess will be re-opening on 22nd May and I suspect there will have been some changes. Word is there will be live music and events. I can&#8217;t wait to see &#8211; if you get there before me, do let me know!</p>

<p>If you want your brunch fancy and slightly French, this is the place for you. Champagne brunch, French toast, croque monsieurs or pastries. Would be a great spot for that long-awaited meet-up. Served weekends and bank holidays 10am-2pm. </p>
