Pleasant little country pub with a stone facade and a great display of hanging baskets during the summer. There is a small bar at the front and two dining areas to the right and rear. Arkell's 3Bs and Wilshire Gold are on at all times. Good home-cooked food is served.

Outside there is a patio, children's play area and a camping field behind the car park. Children are very welcome. Dogs are welcome in the garden and on the patio.

Total Swindon Best Sunday Lunch Award 2022.

In the top 100 restaurants in the UK 2023, As awards by Opentable.

Historic Interest

It was kept by Charles Morgan Staley in 1830. A fully-licensed inn, the licensee was prosecuted in 1844 for keeping a disorderly house. Leased to Arkells in 1908 and bought by them in 1926 and completely renovated in 1969.
