Across the road from the Inn stood a large tree for many years, this was known as the ‘hanging tree’ as it is thought that many convicts were hung in public however history suggests that this was sadly chopped down back in the 1960’s. The ‘Sally’ as it is known by the locals, boasts an eventful past. In its early days it was a toll gate for the carriages’ travelling along the Fosse Way and the Tyt

he barn once housed horses overnight whilst its passengers were fed and watered in the Inn. The village of ‘The Gibb’ originates from the name of the toll booth crossing, The Gibraltar Turnpike. Many films and period dramas have been set within the local area, the most famous being the award winneing film, War Horse directed by Steven Speilberg. Other productions include Dr Doolittle, Downton Abbey, Pride & Prejudice and Stardust. The name ‘Castle Combe’ dates back to the Roman Times where a fort was built at the top of the hill & combe – This is an Anglo Saxon word for dip in the valley. Just 2 miles down the road from the ‘Sally’ is a 4,000 year old long barrow burial site called Lugbury! Inside the Salutation Inn you will find a beautiful Tythe barn, this is now used as part of our restaurant but is also perfect for large functions and weddings.

Morning all 👋 Scottish Power are yet again turning our electricity off from 9am tomorrow & "HOPE" to have us back up and running by 4pm. 🤦

That means we won't be open for lunch or until the power comes back on.

Yet again sorry for any inconvenience caused.

All the best

Hey everyone, we're shut until we can sort out this burst pipe!

We woke up this morning to a burst pipe right outside the pub and absolutely no water coming in. So, we can't open today! 😭

Fingers crossed it won't take too long, but with this crazy weather, it sounds like pipes are bursting everywhere.

Could be this afternoon, could be tomorrow – hopefully no longer than that.

Really sorry for any trouble this causes. We'll keep you updated!

During the maintenance period on Monday and Tuesday, we took the team on a trip to Alicante for some well-deserved staff relaxation!

We absolutely love working with these people and are fortunate enough to call them friends.

Surrounding yourself with good people makes a world of difference.
