The Old Ale and Coffee House
About
The Old Ale and Coffee House is a beloved Salisbury gastropub that combines historic charm with modern comfort. Nestled on Crane Street just steps from Salisbury Cathedral, it offers a relaxed indoor setting, a thriving garden with book‑able huts, and an inviting bar stocked with craft beers, real ales, fine wines and artisanal coffee. The menu is a celebration of fresh, locally sourced ingredients – from classic fish & chips and hearty burgers to vegan bowls and hand‑made pizzas – while a weekly Sunday roast and daily specials keep diners coming back. Whether you’re looking for a casual family lunch, a dog‑friendly outing, or a venue for private events and live rugby viewing, the Old Ale delivers good food, friendly service and a lively, welcoming atmosphere.
