The Brewers Arms - Swindon

What has happened!!!! Not the best evening. Food was ok atmosphere was none existent. For a Saturday evening a week before Xmas it should have been buzzing! Very quiet there but the service was still slow. Toilets need a major overhaul as does the whole building. My last issue was the lack of Arkles Ales no 3Bs again! This was our second visit here in a matter of months and there was no 3B’s then either. The brewery is only a 10 minute drive away, come on Arkles this pub in Wanborough needs some help.!!! Not sure we will visit again for sometime if at all . Does anyone care anymore though?

Went for a work Christmas dinner. One of the best I have ever had. Everything cooked beautifully even though we were a large party. Thank you for the food and atmosphere

We were not sure what to expect it looked like an old pub from the outside plenty of tables outside and no real indication as to the entrance there was a front door and a side door so with trepidation we entered the front door (I suppose that would have been logical). Once inside it was massive and most tables were full (it was 7pm on a Saturday). All nicely spaced, it was warm and comfortable looking and we we were shown to our seats. A couple of beers ordered and then what to have questions asked and answered honestly about portion size (i couldnt work out whether to have chips) and honest and accurate in the answer. We started with a Greek Sharing platter salad, olives, feta cheese, halloumi and dips and as i told the waitress the best houmous i have ever had. Nice Sourdough bread too. For mains my wife had Scampi and chips (massive chunky ones). I opted for the Hungarian Beef Hotpot (Gulasch) and no chips as it came with bread (3 slices would have been nice but 2 were enough) and this was excellent second only to one i had in Austria in 1984. After a lovely 2 courses, it started to get busier and you had to get the waitresses attention not that in anyway we were ignored and nor was it difficult or a long time to get served but, we ordered desert nice choice of proper puddings! My wife opted for tiramisu and i had warm apple and cinnamon cake with custard. Overall the food was great, the service was excellent and the place was great we will certainly come back. Thanks everyone for making such an enjoyable evening. M!chael Tracy

Feared the worst as they seemed very understaffed for what was a busy evening but the food was very good and despite a bit of a Q to get drinks, had no complaints. Have to compliment the 2/3 staff serving who were working their socks off!

Visited the pub for lunch today and it was a great experience. The food was delicious and the service was great. Really nice place to go especially with the lovely garden, I would highly recommend!
