The Birdcage - Wiltshire

We popped in to The Birdcage today, and despite being very busy, a very polite young gentleman managed to find us a table with space for a high chair. The staff were clearly busy with a big group but were still attentive and checked on us several times. The food was superb and arrived quickly despite the large tables. I had the Christmas special pizza on a gluten free base this has to be one of the best gluten free pizzas I’ve ever had (and I’ve sampled many)! We will be back! Thank you to The Birdcage for a wonderful lunch.

The food was absolutely excellent and the environment beautiful. However the two girls serving were unfriendly and spent most of their time gossiping and chatting rather than being attentive to the customers. Our food was literally dumped in front of us. So disappointing but we will not be returning.

Really pleasant restaurant and experience. Staff were very friendly, the pizza was delicious and the whole restaurant had a nice vibe to it with a cosy feel on a chilly evening.

This was a great find! Wonderful staff who were helpful but unobtrusively. A wide variety of pizza toppings, including adding your own. I would say that the pizza was cooked to perfection and very tasty. Tables are not on top of each other so at it has a really nice atmosphere.

Me and my partner and my parents have been on holiday in the Cotswolds the last few days. Last night was our last night so we all wanted to choose a different but nice place to go out and eat. Where we were staying this place had been recommended quite a few times and with it being an Italian something we all enjoy we thought let’s give it a try. It was only 13mins away from where we was staying so we didn’t have to travel for ages. We made our way once we got into the village of Malmesbury which I must say a lovely little village lots of places to eat, the only thing is this place we ate at didn’t have its own car park so we had to park and walk but this was a few minutes away so it wasn’t far. We was greeted by a lovely girl who showed us to our table. We ordered some drinks and browsed through the menus. The restaurant was fairly quiet with a few others eating but it was nice for us to all be out together and have somewhere where we could hear each others conversations. We then ordered our food. We started off with starters. I had the dough balls with garlic butter always a favourite, my Mum had the portobello mushroom with tomato, chilli, halloumi and onions with a small dressing of salad. My Dad and partner had the garlic flatbread one with halloumi the other with mozzarella. We all enjoyed these. Main courses My Mum and I both had the Italian pasta bolognaise which was lovely just the right amount of pasta and bolognaise with some Parmesan over the top. My partner had the special pizza that was on offer with pepperoni added on. And my Dad had a chicken kind of pizza that he enjoyed too. It was a really lovely evening and the food was just amazing. WELL DONE CHEF) The restaurant itself was really beautifully designed with bird cages, birds, old instruments decorated around the room. It was a lovely place to be. Soon after we felt there was room for puddings. Again a wide selection of choices. Me and my Mum didn’t have one we just enjoyed a coffee but my partner and Dad both had the salted caramel crunch sundaes which they both thoroughly enjoyed. As this was our last evening of our holiday we travelled back home today) we would highly recommend and we hope to return some day too!
