Didn’t like this pub at all it’s like the Labour Party’s running it full of rules signs up for the most stupid of things. Ultimately it’s a pub. And if you get a bit drunk the pub thinks you should drive home as you are not aloud to leave you car in the car park over night. That’s just dangerous!!

Just popped in on our way back from RIAT to our weekend base in Swindon. Very friendly welcome despite a sudden influx of other customers. The vegetable lasagne, veg chilli and fish and chips arrived promptly and were all piping hot. Portions were more than adequate. Many thanks to the team! Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Delicious vegetarian lasagne with all the trimmings. Garlic bread, chips, salad and the homemade coleslaw was my favourite. This is my third visit since the new management and I will definitely be back again. Worth a visit! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
