Situated at the gateway to the new Tadpole Village Development in North Swindon, this large single storey building is a flagship house of local Swindon brewer, Arkell's. The pub opened in June 2022 in celebration of the Queen’s 70 years on the throne, It is modern in every respect and a huge outside patio area, (populated by timber dining pods for inclement weather) looks out towards what will be the cricket pitch. The bar has 4 hand pumps, 3 with changing Arkell's ales, and another pump with cider. There is a varied menu and booking is advisable. It is Arkell's newest and biggest pub and won the 2023 New Build Award in CAMRA's Pub Design Awards.

Historic Interest
