What some our many happy customers have said about The Noah's Ark.

Hello Amy
"I was in yesterday for lunch with some girlfriends and realised as I drove away that I had been so busy saying bye to the girls that I had forgotten to say thank you and that we really enjoyed our lunch. The food was superb (I especially loved the Tomato Tarte Tatin), the service was friendly and professional and there is a really great atmosphere in the place. Now that I’ve found you I will definitely be back!"
Thanks again

Dear Amy
"Last Saturday 14th August seventeen very happy and well fed revellers departed from your delightful pub after a most enjoyable and sumptuous lunch. The food was delicious and everyone commented on the wonderful atmosphere you had helped create at our birthday celebration. It was generous of you for preparing the large room especially for our private party and congratulations to the chef and the cheerful willing staff who all contributed to make it such a special day for our family and friends.
To the crew of the Good Ship Noah’s Ark, we say a hearty and sincere thank you."
Warmest regards

Hi Amy & Henry
"Thank you so much for letting us come to your lovely pub for George's retirement 'do' in July. The relaxed atmosphere of space outside to meet each other, the typical pub atmosphere around the bar and use of the private function room made it a special venue for such an event. To top it all, the moreish buffet was flushed down with some rather pleasant local beers. When can I retire?"

"I am sorry I did not have the opportunity to thank you for our meal today. Everyone was highly delighted with the menu and quality of the cooking. It was also so nice to have the Private Dining Room made available. It allowed 11 voices to speak all at once without disturbing your other diners. You may rest assured that when it is my turn to host the gathering again, I will be in touch."

Dear Amy and the staff at the Noah’s
"Just a note to say a huge thank you for making it such a fabulous evening on November 7th! I really couldn’t have asked for a better 40th. All my friends have commented on the beautiful room, delicious food and warm and welcoming ambience. The sloe gin cocktails went down a treat and I think there were a few sore heads the next day – including mine!
Please pass on my heartfelt thanks to everyone involved."

Dear Amy
"I just wanted to pass on to you both how very impressed I and all my guests were. I quote:
"How on EARTH did they produce such a wonderful dinner for 40 people at the same time with the lamb pink and perfectly cooked?"
"How were you so clever to find such an idyllic spot with the nicest staff and most welcoming venue I have ever been to?"
"How fabulous the Noah's Ark is, I would love to have my 40th there if I didn't live in Salisbury!"
"What a fabulous crew they are at your party spot, and the beer on tap was just sublime."
So from me and all my guests a very heartfelt thank you for being so lovely, so welcoming and for making it such a fabulous evening but all very effortless on my part. I really did appreciate it. And the cider champagne was a big hit too."

"We have just come away from having an absolutely wonderful meal at your beautiful pub. Having a birthday meal seemed a good idea so we came down this lunch time and enjoyed wonderful surroundings, a fantastic meal and excellent service.
Sally had the herb crusted port tenderloin whilst I opted for the Noah’s Ark meat platter.
They were both glorious and had us groaning in our seats from the visual and gastronomic aspects.
Can't wait until the next birthday celebration so we can come again."
