The Longs Arms Pub in Trowbridge

Upper South Wraxall, Bradford-on-Avon BA15 2SB

About This Pub

Ah, The Longs Arms – what a gem of a pub tucked away in the heart of South Wraxall. I've got to say, if you're after some seriously good grub in a relaxed setting, this place hits the spot. The food is just brilliant; we're talking fresh, seasonal fare that's cooked to perfection and leaves you with that satisfied glow, whether it's a simple pie or something more fancy. The staff are lovely too, always up for a chat and making sure everything runs smoothly, which really adds to the homely feel. It's ideal for catching up with friends or celebrating a birthday, and you can tell from the buzz around it that it's a favourite in the area. But, let's be honest, it's not without its downsides – the portions might leave you eyeing the menu for seconds, and with prices on the higher side, it could feel a bit steep if you're just after a quick pint and bite. Plus, with it only open four days a week, you'll need to check the timings to avoid disappointment. All in all, it's worth a visit if you're in the mood for quality over quantity, and I'd reckon it's one of those spots you'll want to return to once you've tried it.

Cons

Portions can be on the small side, leaving you wanting a bit more bang for your buck, especially since it's on the pricey end.
The prices feel a tad steep for what you get, which might put off those looking for a more casual, affordable pub grub.
It's only open four days a week, so you'll have to plan around that if you're keen to pop in.
Some have mentioned service hiccups in the past, though it's not a common complaint, it could be something to watch out for on busier nights.

INCREDIBLE FOOD! Catered to our dietary needs with only 48 hours notice.

The food at The Longs Arms is pretty good. Dishes are well seasoned, tasty and nicely presented. I would say however that the portions are quite small and in my opinion, over-priced for what you get. The wine list and cocktail menu is decent though. I have had to give only 3 stars overall as the service marred the experience. We arrived a little earlier than our booked time so we thought it would be a great opportunity to get a pre-dinner drink. On arriving at the bar we felt most unwelcome. We asked if we could order a drink and the woman behind the bar looked at us as if we were asking her to cut off her arm or something. There then followed a strange, stilted conversation where we were trying to ascertain whether we could order a cocktail. When we finally got a drink menu from her she disappeared and left us standing there for 15 minutes. Even when she returned we had to ask her if we could place our order. We then asked if we could have our drink at the table we had booked. She basically told us where it was and left us to find said table ourselves. We waited a further 20 minutes for the drinks to arrive. Some time later we were ready to order our food. A member of the waiting staff took our order but when we dared to ask her to leave the wine menu with us, she rolled her eyes. It felt very much as if both the barwoman and the waitress saw us as an imposition. It should be said however that there was a much more polite young man who served drinks later in the evening. The food was delivered fairly promptly and as I mentioned earlier it was decent - a good job really as no one at any point came to check whether we needed anything. After the meal we ordered coffees and cocktails to finish off - we waited half an hour for these to arrive. Such a shame that the Longs Arms has all the makings of a lovely village gastro pub but alas the service staff would need significant training to meet the standards of what one would expect with the prices being charged.

Stunning!. I cannot fault The Longs Arms. Sublime cooking , beautiful thoughtful clever and TASTY dishes. World class front of house. Overall - the best pub I have ever eaten in ….and the steak and kidney pie ( pub grub ) was off the scale. Just enjoyed a lunch today, breaking up a 20 mile walk, of oysters, salt cod croquettes and monkfish ceviche. Wonderful. Bravo to all at The Longs Arms

Best food in the area without a doubt! Our second visit - and just as amazing, if not better than our first. Even the burger is impeccable and so well balanced. Lovely staff as ever too. Cannot recommend enough!
