I'll start with the food - it was Spanish week, not what we expected. The Tapas was superb, and the chicken and chorizo so good I nearly had another portion instead of cheese; but I love cheese. As for the service attentive without being overpowering. Increadible was the attention to detail. I use a wheelchair and when we arrived the... More

We have a first class bistro in the centre of Devizes with a really innovative chef and friendly atmosphere. The delicious food is inspiring and the new cookery school at Hopton is absolutely brilliant! I recommend anyone, men, women or children to take a class; you'll want to go back. My breadmaking has been transformed! More

I have eaten at the Bistro a number of times and have always found the food to be very good and the service to be warm and friendly however, this review is really about the cookery school. I attended their starter pastry course (baking essentials) and patisserie masterclass this year and found both to be excellent. Margaret, who gave the... More

I was given a cookery school voucher which included a days tuition and a meal. I certainly learnt a lot from the propieter Peter Vaughan and also enjoyed his cooking. There were eight of us in total and everyone was friendly More

Staying near Devizes for the weekend and went to The Bistro on the off-chance; the staff were friendly and the special Greek menu sounded appetising, if somewhat predictable. A one-choice set starter was fine, although the falafel was over-done and a bit bullet-like. For some reason lots of the food we were served was burnt - black and burnt -... More

I have visited the Bistro for dinner several times and always enjoyed the food. I particularly remember a prawn dish (starter) with a subtle eastern flavour of ginger and chilli - delicious! I also participated in a cookery course in March 2011 (a present from my children) and have cooked a number of the dishes to great aclaim - so... More
