Thought we would try a couple of the local pubs whilst staying in Swindon for the weekend. Right from the get go everyone was amazingly friendly. The pub has a lovely community atmosphere and we were made to feel very welcome. The staff work very hard to provide a great service. As they say it is all about the small things and this place has paid attention to everything. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Wow wow wow what can I say, the food was amazing. Pulled pork tacos, fish tacos..crispy chicken wings, vegan chilli tacos… slow cooked beef briskets quesadillas. With a side order of yummy cocktails. This place is a hidden gem in old town right off Victoria road. Enjoy, you won’t regret it 🥰

Glad that this is our local pub. Delicious food, had some hot dogs and pulled pork tostadas that were demolished in no time.

This is a cosy local in the heart of Old Town. The staff are very friendly and the pub is split into two sections, one side with darts, pool table and TVs for sport, the other side quieter with more seating. Occasionally they host live music, and are always a popular venue for the local music festivals. Always enjoy my time here when I pop in.
