About
The Freke Arms, a historic timber‑framed inn dating from the early 1800s, sits just outside Highworth on the edge of the Wiltshire countryside. The pub offers a warm, welcoming setting with hearty steak and traditional pub classics, complemented by a wide selection of real ales, wines and craft beers. A key highlight is its dog‑friendly policy – guests can enjoy a relaxed meal in the back‑bar area or the newly opened terrace with their four‑legged companions, making it an ideal spot for families, pet owners and food lovers alike.
