Clean, modern, nicely decorated estate pub, owned by local brewer Arkell's. The pub has 6 en-suite rooms. Home cooked food served all day. Two regular Arkell's ales are on and the new manager has installed two additional pumps with a view to bringing in changing guests. Sport shown on several screens and can be split to show Sky and BT at the same time.

Large clean conservatory is used for private functions. Pool and Darts teams. Overall a strange mix , hotel, local pub, sports bar, foodies destination, an electric mix but somehow the enthusiastic new host seems to make it all work.

Information for this venue is provided by the Swindon & North Wiltshire Branch of CAMRA
