Completely refurbished in 2004, the pub today has a distinctly contemporary feel with a particular emphasis on serving good quality pub food. Diners can choose between excellent value bar meals or descend the few steps down to the excellent restaurant/carvery which is often busy and especially on Sunday lunchtimes, when booking is essential. Corporate facilities also include a new conference/meeting room available for hire.

History of Sally Pussey
Sarah Purse was the licensee of The Wheat Sheaf Inn on the Wootton Bassett to Swindon road until she passed away in 1885 and was laid to rest in Lydiard Tregoze Churchyard. During her reign it is said that she possessed extraordinary powers as a faith healer or both men and beast.

She became somewhat of a living legend because of this and, although a mere 5’1” high, had an awesome reputation among her regulars who included some of the burly men building the Great Western Railway line.

Rumour has it that on more than one occasion she physically ‘put them out’ with not a hint of resistance. Like all good legendary figures Sarah had a name of her own. By various rolls of the Wiltshire tongue she first became Sarah Puss, then Sah Puss and finally Sally Pussey – or Aunt Sally as she became better known.

Around 1971 it was decided to revive the legend of aunt Sally and re-name the Wheat Sheaf the Sally Pussey’s Inn.

A charming real English pub, built in 1843, located in the attractive village of Derry Hill just off the A4 between Chippenham and Calne. It faces the magnificent entrance, the Golden Gates, to the Bowood Golf and Country Club and has spectacular views of the local countryside looking out over Chippenham towards Corsham and Bath. Children are welcome too.

There is a large beer garden with a children's play area for those balmy summer days and roaring log fires inside during the winter months. First class home cooked food, prepared in the kitchen personally supervised by the landlady, is available most lunch times and evenings. Due to the popularity of the Lansdowne it is advisable to book a table in advance, especially at weekends
