The Dumb Post Inn

The Dumb Post Inn is run by husband-and-wife team Richard and Beth Board, whose family farm is intrinsic to everything served here.

The pub, which overlooks the Bowood Estate near Calne, delivers seasonal dishes crafted from produce reared to the highest welfare standards. Ingredients like lamb and beef make the shortest of journeys from field to plate.

The close relationship between farm and kitchen gives the team complete confidence in the quality and traceability of their ingredients, while fruit, vegetables and other produce are sourced from neighbouring growers wherever possible. The result is a menu rooted in both the seasons and surrounding countryside.

The duo of lamb is a fitting showcase of the pub’s philosophy and pairs rosemary and pea-crusted loin with braised lamb tart, baby carrots, rainbow chard, potato fondant, onion puree and a port and redcurrant jus. This accomplished cooking has earned The Dumb Post Inn a loyal local following.
