Royal Wootton Bassett is one of Wiltshire's most characterful market towns, sitting just off the M4 between Swindon and Chippenham. The High Street has been at the heart of the town for centuries, and Quercus sits right at its centre.
The site itself has a remarkable history. Quercus occupies part of the former Royal Oak Hotel - once the premier inn of Wootton Bassett, before falling into disrepair and being largely demolished in the early 1970s. The name Quercus, Latin for oak, is a nod to that heritage.
Our menus are built around suppliers based within 10 miles of the bistro - including Truffle Hunter in South Cerney, Rouselands Farm in Brinkworth, and Brinkworth Wild Venison. Dishes change monthly, planned around what's at its best.

The Quercus Approach
Locally sourced, reared and grown produce. Carefully prepared and simply served.
Locally sourced, reared and grown produce. Carefully prepared and simply served. Our Royal Wootton Bassett kitchen takes its inspiration from the French bistro tradition - classics like steak frites, wild mushroom ragu, and chicken supreme, served in a relaxed setting where the food does the talking. Every dish is designed to pair with something from our ever-changing wine list, displayed on our bespoke wine wall.
