The Great Bustard, a country pub with ten guestrooms set in the picturesque hills of Wiltshire, will open in June 2024 following a complete restoration and expansion.

Part of the Great Durnford Estate, the venue is named after the majestic birds that were once close to extinction, but have now been successfully reinstated in the area. 

The Great Bustard will offer comforting, hearty cooking in the pub, a selection of more refined dishes in the restaurant and a combination of the two in The Courtyard, the restored walled garden. Each menu will be committed to farm-to-table dining and showcase local produce inspired by the seasons.

From The Durnford Estate kitchen gardens, complete with its own bees, to the wild game roaming the fields and forest, Head Chef Jordan Taylor will also work alongside local producers and farmers to deliver his dishes. A meticulously considered wine list, craft beers and home-infused tipples will be available across the pub and restaurant.

The Great Bustard will also be home to The Black Grouse private dining room seating 12, a treatment room and a farm shop.
