Anyone who knows us personally will know that we are BIG fans of a dinner offer. I'm talking 2 for £x, buy one get one free, you name it, we'll give it a go. Hettie Bells' 2-4-1 burger offer has been on our 'we must try that' list for a good few months now, and this week we finally made it down there to try it out.

A coffee and a cake at a new-to-me cafe? Sounds like a perfect Saturday morning plan. This morning Elliot and I headed to The Stalls Cafe and it was lovely.
A coffee and a cake at a new-to-me cafe? Sounds like a perfect Saturday morning plan. This morning Elliot and I headed to The Stalls Cafe and it was lovely.
On Saturday night, Elliot and I were invited to try something a little bit different... Cholderton Rare Breeds Farm were hosting another of their popular Murder Mystery Nights and we were offered tickets to go down and give it a try!
Essentially, as the name suggests, a crime has been committed and you need to work out whodunnit. There is a back story, all of the suspects (actors) are introduced and then the rest of the evening is spent interacting with or eavesdropping on the suspects.
On our night, the story was all based around a medical clinic called Zephyr. A member of staff had been murdered and each of the characters had some sort of link to the clinic and to the victim.
They each took it in turns visiting the different tables throughout the evening and we had the opportunity to ask them any questions we had. There were also some arguments to watch between the characters and, spoiler alert, maybe a couple more deaths too.
Also scattered around the room were 5 whiteboards displaying different pieces of 'evidence' and you essentially had the whole evening to work out who did it and why…
As well as the evening of entertainment, we were also served a three-course meal! We had:
- Bruschetta
- Hog roast with salad
- Eton Mess
We had such a fun time on the night so if a Murder Mystery event is coming to a location near you, I’d definitely recommend checking it out!
Thank you Cholderton Rare Breeds Farm for the invite!

So, you're looking for somewhere a bit nicer to go for dinner in Salisbury... Now, don't get me wrong I don't have any Michelin star recommendations for you here, just places we tend to head to if we're looking to spend a bit more. They're all in the city center and also independent businesses, so great ones to add to your list to visit in 2023....

The Pembroke Arms, Wilton Review
First and foremost, their outdoor seating area is huge. If you're looking for a sunny pub garden to spend an afternoon, I'd say it's definitely worth getting down to Wilton and sitting in their fab outdoor area. They have their covered garden seating, complete with heaters and a huge fire, as well as lots of picnic benches out in the sun.
We didn't need to book, being a random Thursday evening, but I can imagine it gets pretty busy on a sunny weekend. The car park also isn't the biggest I've seen, so perhaps plan ahead if you're thinking of visiting. Luckily someone was leaving just as we arrived so we managed to nab the last space in the car park!
In terms of food, I wish I could say I browsed the full menu and considered every option. I didn't. We'd spoken about going for a pizza for days so, of course, I went straight for the pizza menu. Elliot and I both ended up having the same, the meat special. A sourdough pizza topped with pepperoni, roquito peppers, and honey, what wasn't there to love?! Considering I'm usually Miss Margherita, I'm so glad I opted for something a little different, it was delicious! The honey wasn't too sweet and the pepperoni was really tasty.
Whilst we waited for our food we saw streams and streams of pies coming out to other tables. Now, if I'd seen the pie menu, I think I could have been swayed away from a pizza. They were huge and looked incredible. Judging by the number of people we saw with them, I'm assuming they taste as good as they look...
A 12.5% service charge is added to the bill so our 2 pizzas and 2 pints came to a grand total of £45 which seems a little steep if you ask me... Perhaps one for a date night or special occasion, eh? Not quite a can't-be-bothered-to-cook quick meal out.
I'm sure I'll absolutely be back to The Pembroke Arms, I feel it could become the new summery weekend go-to...
