Some history here relating to nearby station & railway works. Staff slightly grumpy for no obvious reason. Surely some better beer than "Sea Fury" could be on hand pumps.

Popped in before my train home as it is very close to Swindon Train station. A good spacious pub with a decent beer selection and friendly staff.

Popped in for a Sunday roast for my dad’s birthday and they also cater for Coeliacs! Which is amazing! The portion size is more than generous and there’s the option of having a bit of each meat on offer - which for my inner pig is a dream! Especially as it means I don’t have to make a decision over which meat to have 😂 The staff are friendly and helpful, able to answer any questions and always on hand if needed! Great atmosphere and selection of drinks and they also do gluten free desserts too! Thanks for having us! ❤️
