Two pubs in and around Wiltshire have been named among the '10 best renovated English foodie inns' by the Guardian.

Over the next few weeks, nothing will beat a seat in a rustic pub and watching the dusk of summer slowly transform into the dawn of autumn. 

For that matter, you'll want to be in Wiltshire.

The Guardian has put together a comprehensive list of the best English gastro pubs and named two spots very close to home.

The best renovated English foodie inns'

The Great Bustard, Wiltshire

Annabelle Thorpe of the Guardian said: "Part of the Great Durnford Estate, this charming country pub reopened in June after a complete restoration, with 10 bedrooms named after birds that have been successfully reintroduced into the UK, such as the Great Bustard.

"Menus focus on a farm-to-table ethos with meats, game and vegetables from the estate and an excellent British cheese selection.

"Rooms are furnished with a mix of antique and contemporary pieces, while the Osprey Treatment room offers skincare treatments for face and body.

"Pop into the adjoining farm shop for foodie treats and organic spa products to take home."

"A cosier pub with a glitzier sibling nearby (the Pig-in-the-Cotswolds, opening in September), the Village Pub reopened in June," Thorpe commented.

"In keeping with the Pig’s focus on all things foodie, the menu encompasses traditional bar snacks – pork pies, cockles and vinegar – alongside classic main dishes, such as smoked gammon and parsley sauce and rabbit, leek and bacon pie.

"The six rooms, tucked into the eaves, come with Egyptian cotton sheets and monsoon showers."
