Pubs

There are 2 pubs in the parish - one in Porton and one in Idmiston.

"Pauline and Phil welcome you to the Earl of Normanton, a traditional country pub located 7 miles north of Salisbury on the A338.

We are open for meals seven days a week and pride ourselves on serving well kept real ales and good food (we have been listed in The CAMRA Good Beer Guide for sixteen years running).  Exmoor Gold and Hop Back’s Summer Lightning are always available together with 2 or 3 alternating guest ales.

We have employed a young imaginative chef who prides himself on serving a variety of dishes using local produce whenever possible. We have pleasant gardens and bars with log fires."

Opening Times:

Monday - Saturday: 12 - 3 and 6 - 11 (last food order 9pm)

Sunday: 12 - 8 (last food order 7pm)

"The Porton Hotel was once The Old Railway Tavern, and has been converted into a family run hotel, restaurant and bar. The location provides easy access to Porton Down Facilities, the World Heritage site of Stonehenge in Amesbury and the cherished Salisbury Cathedral in the centre of Salisbury.

Whatever the occasion, whether you are on holiday, business or just passing through, our Hotel offers comfortable accommodations, superb home cooked food and fun entertainment.  All of our guests are greeted with a warm and friendly welcome from Ash, Jasmin and all the staff, who will make sure your stay is absolutely delightful."
