What's this?

These are confidence labels. They show how sure we are that what we publish still reflects the restaurant's current practice. They are not a judgement on the restaurant; the wine and cooking are scored separately, out of 100.

  • Beta means assessed and scored, but we are still confirming some details (such as the current wine list) and the restaurant has not yet had the chance to correct any factual inaccuracy, so it is published with that caveat.
  • No label means a fully confirmed entry.
  • In development means not yet a review. It appears so you can see where coverage is coming.

Restaurants often change their menus. The date beside the label says when we last reviewed.

We assessed La Bobina in October 2026 and this review is based on the food menu and wine list at the time of the review. As menus and wine lists change, we name styles in order for the information to remain more useful as menus change. If things have slipped you can use the Vinealto Dining app including accessing an up to date reading using 'At the Table' from the wine list in front of you in the restaurant. How we assess

La Bobina is a lively tapas and wine bar on Marlborough High Street with a menu that runs from pintxos to grilled steak. Its mostly Spanish list pours 22 wines by the glass and seven sherries by the 75ml glass, which lets the table match each plate as it arrives. It will suit groups and couples who want to graze, share and try a sherry or two.

The Marlborough Inn

Marlborough, Wiltshire

Modern British gastropub

The Marlborough is a Wiltshire country inn cooking confident modern-British gastropub food, with a short, sensible international wine list priced generously by the glass. The wine programme does its job competently and has a genuine local strength in its sparkling, but it is assembled to cover the menu rather than built to it, and it closes with a clear gap where a dessert or fortified wine should be. It will most reward the diner who wants a well-priced, well-explained glass beside a good pub plate rather than a list to explore for its own sake.

The Castle Inn

Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire

Gastropub, pub classics

The Castle Inn is a seasonal gastropub in Bradford-on-Avon serving pub classics and small plates. Its short, mostly entry-level wine list covers the food competently, with a welcome by-the-glass and carafe range, but stays shallow and offers nothing sweet or fortified for its own dessert menu. It suits the pub-goer who wants a good-value glass with a decent plate, more than the drinker after depth or a wine to finish on.
