The Brewers Arms in Swindon

Eaten here a couple of times recently, lovely roast and friendly relaxed service. Great place for a family catch up. Roast was tasty and pizzas too!

My wife and I have been going to The Brewers all ours lives (since the days when it had animals and birds in their beer garden). The interior is nicely decorated, but externally it is beginning to look a little jaded. Foodwise, For lunch I opted for their Chicken Ceaser Wrap, which was really nice and quiet filling as a lunch. However, my wife's Tuna/mayo jacket potato was somewhat small and disappointing considering the price difference between hers and mine. There's a lot of potential for trade due to a lot of construction locally. Let's hope the standards don't drop on the food and they spend a bit on the exterior, as would hate to become disappointed after all there's years.

Have not been here for 18 months. Probably shouldn’t have bothered . Sat in garden which is now very overgrown & every garden table is falling apart, the pods (which were lovely ) look tired & unsed & the kids park looks like it has all seen better days . All needs a good overhaul. Mess everywhere on tables. No choice of lunch menu on a Saturday afternoon. And asked for a drinks menu & was only given a wine list. What food we did go for wasn’t great. The only plus is the inside restaurant still looks nice . Won’t be going back in a hurry. Cross keys is now back open & looked SO much better. That will be our next visit.

Lovely family pub, with a great park for the kids. The staff are friendly and helpful. The menu is a little pricey but it's worth paying the extra for the kids to have somewhere to play. Highly recommend the sea bass dish and the pizzas are tasty too!

We ordered a Chicken Supreme £18.50 and an American burger £15.80 , the meals arrived and looked and tasted great . For a sweet my wife had Apple cake with cream £5.50 again just great . The young ladies who serve you are friendly and polite , I do not give 5 stars very often but tonight was just excellent .

Stayed nearby for a conference. Convenient. Grt staff. Av menu. Very average food. Always regret not going further afield for dinner to find better but tired from travel so convenient. Recommend for breakfasts though.

We (2 small families, 6 of us total) visited late on a Saturday afternoon, we initially sat outdoors so the kids could play, however decided to stay for food, we were told there were no tables indoors, it was 5pm on a Saturday and only 20% of the tables were taken, but they had said they were short staffed so maybe didn’t have time to clean tables before a later booking? Either way the lady wasn’t very accommodating. It was getting quite cold so wasn’t ideal for 2 toddlers to sit outside and eat, we managed to get a seat in the undercover area attached to the restaurant which was sheltered and warmer than the garden. The lady at the bar was quite abrupt and rude. Our food came out wrong, looking back at the menu now the peking pizzas should have had hoisin sauce on (it didn’t), nor did it have spring onion on, something was missing from another plate, which was quickly rectified by a very polite young man who was helpful and friendly through our visit. The outdoor area is very tired and in need of some love, not too many years ago it used to be a large open area, now it is all fenced off making the garden at the back very small and enclosed. The bin was on its side, it was quite a scruffy area in need of some love and investment, it’s a shame the lovely views have been blocked by fences all the way round. The positive from our visit was the young man who served our food and got our sauces, he couldn’t have been more helpful, it’s just a shame not all staff were as friendly. Also the children loved the play area It’s a shame as this used to be a wonderful pub, hopefully things improve soon as it has alot of potential.

Lovely pub, great time meeting up with friends for Friday night dinner. Food was really nice, and lots of vegan options. Thai green curry was delicious, big portion and fresh ingredients.

Food was really good and everyone from my party agreed. One starter didn’t arrive but these things happen and there was no fuss in taking it off the final tab, so no biggie whatsoever. Friendly staff and the wait for food was just right. Had a bit of a disaster with the fire place but this was expertly handled by the staff and with a smile. Can’t ask for much more. Looking forward to the same time in 2025. Happy new year!

My niece booked a side event room at the Brewers Arms wanborough for my sisters 50th birthday. It was a great room for about 30 people with separate tables in our own space. We pre ordered our meals and everything came out speedily and as we’d ordered. It was lovely and a wide selection of food from the menu. Some of us ordered desserts which were lovely too. The pub arranged for the birthday cake to come out and it was perfect. I’d recommend this for a small private function room. It was like having your own private restaurant. Thank you Brewer’s Arms.

Great for a good value and casual dinning experience. Pleasant surroundings with a seasonal atmosphere.

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!

We ordered a Steak and Ale pie £15 and a Milanese Chicken Breast £14 , both soon arrived . Quite large portions for both , nicely cooked and tasty . For a sweet my wife had a Vanilla Cheese cake with cream £4.95 , again very nice . Well worth a visit as the menu is large with most things to suit , Pies ,burgers ,Curries etc .

We ordered a Ham eggs and chips and Steak and Ale pie .Both soon arrived the pie came with cabbage with carrots and ham eggs with a salad ,.The chips were only warm and the cabbage was not cut up ( big pieces ).Other than that the meal was ok ,

We popped into the Brewer's Arms one lunchtime to check the place out and received such a warm welcome that we decided on the spot to return for dinner that evening. We sat in the back room which was immaculately clean and made to look very cosy. The young man who served us couldn't have been nicer. My glass of Shiraz was delicious (not always the case in a pub), and the food was fabulous. I had some mini-pots in order to try more dishes and they were all excellent - especially the lamb tagine. My partner had a pie (a proper pie!) with gravy that was so good we asked to take the remainder with us. The chef kindly sent us home with half a pint of it, which we shall enjoy on Christmas Day! We would return to The Brewers Arms in a flash and highly recommend this place. We had such a lovely relaxing evening.

A really lovely venue and such care taken by Amy and Paul and the lovely staff. Our every need was catered for and we would thoroughly recommend them for any occasion or just a quiet dinner. Food was sooooo good .

Have been here over the Summer and last Sunday. Have had lunches,dinners, and Waffles. I can be a bit tricky with being dairy free. Not a problem. Cocktails are the best and such a treat!

Had a lovely meal. Steak and Stilton pie with mash and vegetables. Outstanding! Then had apple pie to follow. Everything was delicious and great value. Pudding under a fiver! Pay £9 nowadays. Service brilliant too; one staff member extremely knowledgeable and the other lady, might have been her first day, was superb too. Well done chef 👍

Went for lunch today. Fifteen minutes after we arrived we had to ask if we could order and were told it wasn't our turn. Eventually we ordered, roasts all round as it was Sunday. Took an eternity to arrive so that our food was eventually on the table over an hour after we arrived. No communication from staff in between. Roast potatoes tasted of fish and roast pork roast tasted suspiciously of Chinese seasoning. Against better judgement we ordered desserts. Twenty minutes later we were told that they'd run out of what we'd chosen. We shared two portions between four as we were still hungry. Felt sorry for the young waiting team who were clearly overwhelmed. Shall not be returning.

My parents celebrated 60 years of marriage this weekend. Amy, Paul and the team provided a lovely area of the pub designated just for our forty guests. We had music and the food was plentiful and delicious.

Decided to try the coffee and waffles which they do on a Sunday morning at 10 am. Pub was very quiet when we went in which made a nice atmosphere. Coffee was good and the waffles even better. Choice of individual waffles with toppings or a sharing board for up to four people. Will be going back to try the other topping!

Came here for a birthday celebration. Simple menu. Wasn’t sure what to expect. I had the beef roast. Was so good. My wife had the Angus beef burger, she loved it. My son had the child’s pizza, was clearly cooked fresh from a pizza oven. My daughter had the hot dog and fries, she said she would have liked the roll to have been buttered. Great food, would definitely go back. All in all a great lunch time meal.

Visited for the first time in a long time tonight ,we ordered a Caribbean Curry £14.25 and a Chicken and Gammon pie £14.50 .Both soon arrived quite quickly The pie was nice but rather small , the rustic vegetables were carrots and cabbage (very large pieces of leaves ) with nice chunky chips .The Curry had plenty of chicken and rice I did not like the sauce (watery and not much coconut taste ) , there was a piece of Naan bread with it was a chunk . My wife then had a Caramel cheese cake £4.95 with ice cream , which was OK .

lovely atmosphere. we asked to sit in a quiet area as my husband cant hear well, they even turned down the music. The table servise was good, food excellent . would eat there again

Awful service, went tonight at 730 and didn’t even get a menu until 750. Starters arrived at 0850 which where all good nachos and Brie wedges. Then the mains came at about 0920 - this is where the issues happened. Steak arrived and it looked...

We had a family lunch here for the first time after a considerable break. It was a Sunday and they were busy so there was a considerable wait for our food. Speaking just for myself, I ordered the roast pork and although the plate was...

I think if you go knowing that there’s going to be a bit of a wait for your food then you won’t be disappointed. 3 of us went along and had lovely meals, Schnitzel, Pie and Chicken. All served hot and very tasty. Prices reasonable....

They were very kind and generous in helping, today. A great service, and inside I love that they have different sections - a snug and cosy section and then a more open restaurant. Really cute setup!

Three generations visited for a Saturday lunch in early September. As this was one of our early returns to eating out we decided to sit outside and there was plenty of space for the grandchildren to play especially on the play equipment (although needs a...

My partner and I booked a table for Sunday lunch. We had only been here once before but a few years ago. Sadly we didn’t enjoy our first experience but wanted to see how it was a few years later. We arrived and had to...

We were a table of 9 and service was spot on. Food was really nice, especially the pizza which I think is prepped and baked fresh. Roasts were delicious. Orders were taken swiftly and our drinks came out really fast. Service was great and they...

I went to the Brewers on 23 July 2021 and most recently last night. The service was very slow on both occasions. According to the server, they only had one chef, however, the drinks service was also slow. The food that we received was good,...

We haven't been here for awhile so we thought we would give it a go. very spacious and covid friendly. Ordered food, waited quite a while for food to come out but as it freshly cook we didn't mind to much. Food was nice, kids...

This was recommended by a friend but after reading reviews I was a little worried. Food was totally over cooked - chicken was dry and crumbled when cut. Not worth the money. Service was fine and outdoor pods are rough and basic but a good...

Beware!! I made it very clear I was vegan upon arrival. I asked if there was a separate vegan menu and when ordering the mushroom burger, I made it clear it needed to be vegan as labelled on the menu. Upon arrival, there was coleslaw...

Impromptu Sunday lunch. Booked table no problem. We were shown to a table in the annexe that was very tired looking & dark. Order taken at our table so good Covid precautions. Food arrived very hot & plenty of it. Only criticism was there was...

Really wouldn't recommend eating here. The staff are rude, you can expect an hour to two hour wait time for food. Please learn some organisation skills, I came three years ago and the service was the same- I'd expect some kind of improvement during that...

Came to this pub as outdoor seating is limited in restaurants at the moment. We sat in one of the lovely wooden huts outside which was lovely considering it was quite windy. Service was not great, quite slow and took a long time to bring...

So I’ll start with the good points. The outside seating areas are extensive, well spaced and even heated. The owner popped out as the sun went in to ask if we wanted the heated on so that was great. Unfortunately it was as good as...

The pizzas are amazing! Always really fresh and topping choices are brilliant. I went for a lasagne and burrito other times and although delicious, the portion size was very small. And I don't eat big portions. If this is sorted I would give 5 stars.Lovely people too.

Amazing outdoor heated pods that made it possible for me to meet with my best friends in mid winter through the pandemic! Throw in a delicious steak and ale pie and friendly staff, great night!

We ate in the new Italian bistro and much preferred it to the main pub restaurant. The food was as authentic as it gets in Swindon. Very well prepared fish and chicken dishes with a nice potato and fresh veg selection on the side. One of our party reported on a very good pizza. Well worth a visit. The wine was good quality for the price (but some more Italian choices would be welcome)

Always a friendly atmosphere, plenty of space. The lunch was excellent, the carrots with orange and fennel was very good. The service was superb.

My Husband and l went down to the Brewers last evening to try the new Italian restaurant. Which is in a separate room from the pub and restaurant. We really enjoyed it. Amy and her team did a great job and hope it lasts. So nice to have something different in the village. We felt very safe. Tables far a part. Hand sanitizer around and about. The food was lovely and hot plates which is a must. Also managed to sort out my dairy free with no problem. Have booked again . So give it a go!.

been going to this pub for years but the last few years the menu has expanded therefore you know the food wont be great!The curry I had I am convinced was from a jar and my partners tagine wasn't served in a nice way, wasn't very tagine like and tasted very rich.The service however is always good but they need to cut their menu in half and half again!! Wouldn't go back

Although we arrived later than booked (we did ring to say) we were warmly welcomed and did not feel rushed in any way. We had four different meals, and each and every one was superb. The meals and service were brilliant. We would highly recommend this pub and can’t wait to come back again.

We booked as a family of 6 for an evening meal here last week. It was a celebration on receiving good news re A level results & future plans! Really well organised & clean. The waitresses were attentive & pleasant. We all had a selection of meals, pies, burritos. Tagine & veggie burger. Unanimously thumbs up! Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. We are living in strange times, but that evening felt positively ‘normal’ & safe. We had the 50% meal deal so was quite surprised how low the bill was! But it would have been worth paying the full amount. Can’t wait to return when we visit our family in Wanborough next time. 5 star

We came for food on 19th August at 7pm and was greeted by a lovely lady who introduced herself as jody and that she would look after us through out our meal. She promptly took us to our table and took our drinks order and explained the menu to us. Our drinks arrived quickly and jody was very attentive to our needs the whole time when she saw our glasses was nearly empty she would offer us another drink. The food was so tasty we will definitely be returning even when the eat out scheme ends. What a wonderful and pleasant experience we had.

A group of us visited the Brewers Arms on a sunny Sunday. We booked an outdoor pod which was perfect for our group of four. This was our first meal out in 4 months and it was well worth the wait, we’ll definitely be returning!

What a great sight it was to see people drinking and eating on a lovely sunny evening in the outside seating area of the Brewers Arms , something I had seen many times before but had previously like so many other things taken for granted. We had booked an inside table. The pub have put in place a one way system where you wait to be seated, we passed at a safe distance people enjoying the lovely evening in the garden patio area at the back of the pub.We were given a warm friendly welcome, the one thing you notice about the Brewers is the space it has with all of the tables spread apart as you would expect.We felt safe and comfortable, it was nice to speak with a couple on a nearby table who like us were so pleased to be out again. The Brewers Arms have come up with an Around the World menu to give people the feel of being abroad which might be different from some of the pictures that have previously been posted. The menu is on the Brewers Arms internet page. With the sun shining into the pub we decided to go for a Spanish Theme with the Tapas, six dishes for £25 with bread for the two of us. There was a good choice, we went for the Potato Fritters, Cod Balls, Meat Balls, Garlic Mushrooms, Blue Cheese Croquettes and Stuffed Peppers followed by cheesecake and a latte. This was really enjoyable, it was a really nice evening.We live in Wanborough, we don't know the owners but when we are out walking we often pass the pub. We have seen them build the takeaway area, we have had several takeaway meals from the same menu as I mentioned above, nothing will ever beat the first burger and fries after lock down but the pie comes a close second.We also saw the owners built covers over the outside tables with a pull down if it rains so people can still be in the fresh air. In these difficult times it is so positive to see how local businesses are doing everything possible to get things going again. The Brewers Arms and all the other businesses deserve our support, we will definitely be back soon.

Myself and four friends went out for a catch up to the Brewers on sunday. we could not get a table at first so we went to another pub in the high street for a drink witch was also very nice but could not get food as they are renewing the kitchen, so we went back to the Brewers and were able to get a table and the roast dinner was lovely. The menu was good for a sunday as you could have other choices if you wanted. Staff lovely and atmosphere great.

I had the liver and onions It was ok but nothing special and drinks a trifle expensive and ambiance very strange with Motown music very load when we were the only table in there ? Strange

Visited in a group of six for a family birthday meal and it was great. Service very friendly and attentive and all of us commented about how good the food was - from the Ham, Egg & Chips to the brilliant pie selection.

Visited this weekend and I have to say the steaks and service was amazing. Even though there was 3 christmas parties they were able to accommodate us.Very nice sauvignon wine and guest ale moonlight:)

My annual Christmas get together with the ladies was completely fabulous, after being let down by our local despite booking well in advance - The Brewers Arms pulled out all the stops for us to ensure we had a lovely evening! After finding out that our booking had been cancelled due to “over booking” , I took the recommendation from a family member to come to your pub. I phoned and asked if a Christmas menu was available at such short notice and was advised by a very polite gentleman that they would do their absolute best to provide as many options from their Christmas menu as possible. Well, didn’t they just do that! They had everything we wanted, soup or alternative starters, turkey roast dinners and puddings all round. Amazing atmosphere, delicious food and very generous portions! The staff were very busy however always checked to make sure we had all we needed from drinks, sauces, extra veg and more custard for me! Nothing was too much trouble and I just could not believe how accommodating the staff were considering we hadn’t booked and preordered! Will definitely be returning and will be booking here for works and social gatherings. The waiter / bar man told us all about your future promotions coming and advised us to check social media and your website for more information in January - we are all very intrigued! Thank you to everyone, see you in 2020!

After checking carefully on their website we travelled some distance to meet family here with small children really excited to try the advertised waffles. We arrived to be told “we don’t do waffles at the moment”. I then asked about a table for lunch and the 2 staff pulled a face and said “what for a walk in”? It was only 11.40 on a Saturday morning. Seriously don’t waste your time trying to come here.

We booked the party room in October ( with email confirmation) only to find out the day before when calling that they had double booked and gave it to someone else and refused to honour our booking.This is it annual family Christmas party so finding out they had double booked us was a disaster. Totally ruined our family get together as we had no chance to find another venue. We have been coming to this pub for years and I know Paul the land lord very well. So you can imagine how disappointed we are to be treated so badly.

I have not seen such a varied pie menu as the one offered at the Brewers Arms in Wanborough. The chicken stack it not to be missed either.

Service was good but the food at best was mediocre, there was 6 of us and no one was completely happy with their meal, I had calamari which was at best icelands frozen deep fried! then duck which was so over cooked it was like leather, puddings were ok, but only because they were shop bought.overall very disappointing, will not be going back or recommending it to anyone.

Had a table booked for 17:30. I had roast pork and the mrs had roast beef. 10/10 for both dinners. Roast spuds were good veg had loads of flavour and extra gravy which is always a bonus.

Large group of us decided to get together.Our friends from Newbury suggested the Brewers as it had good gluten free options. We did not have starters with most of the group choosing the GF fish and chips or roast dinners. Good selection of drinks with a nice IPA or Moretti/Kronenbourg lagers. Portions were plentiful and all finished. Selection of tarts for dessert a little limited but I enjoyed my chocolate and orange tart. We were given the party room which was really nicely set up. The only issue we did have was that we did feel a little isolated and often had to go into the bar to ask for drinks, the bill etc. butt appreciate it was busy. We did have a very nice Sunday lunch all told and never felt rushed or hurried to leave.

Really fun but need to realise there is a plastics crisis. Kids cups, plates, balloons, party bags and their contents are all single-use plastic which is a real shame. My 5 year old even noticed

Visited the Brewers on Sunday 15th with the family.After walking in was welcomed by two very welcoming girls.I hadn't booked a table,but that was no problem,a charming young man with a beard showed us to a table.The service was very good and food amazing.The waiter brought apple sauce and horseradish out with the mains without having to be asked,a jug of gravy and he looked after our table very well making sure we had enough gravy,vegetables and drinks. Will definitely return in the week for a meal as there is some very nice specials :)

Decided to take my 3 young grandchildren out for an ice cream/waffle treat. My grandson has a severe dairy allergy so was really pleased that they had 'gluten and dairy free options including a waffle made from soya milk'. It did say to phone before for this option which I tried to do several times before my early afternoon visit, but was unable to speak to anyone. However, on trying to order dairy free ice cream or waffle, I was told they didn't sell it! I explained that their website actually advertised dairy free, to which the response was, 'well you need to phone before, we haven't got any'. Try explaining to a 2 year old after promising him ice cream that actually he can't have any!! The only option was a lolly. We ordered other waffles and ice cream which were OK, waffles were a bit dry. Overall very disappointing that they didn't do dairy free as advertised. It's not a 'fad' when children have allergies, we look for dairy free restaurants for a very good reason.

Decided to re visit the Brewers after last visit in 2013! Evening meal, we didn't book and arrived about 7pm to plenty of available tables. Ordered starters and mains for two, meals were good and with two drinks each the cost was around £50.00. Service was quite quick and we will visit again as there were other dishes I want to try.

Not from the area, I needed a venue for a special occasion lunch. Although I had to reschedule the date several times, the staff were amazingly accommodating, positive and flexible. I hired the party room. On arrival all my guests and myself were impressed by the well thought out venue, with pleasant decor and range of seating areas. The party room was a lovely dining room with seating for 18 on a single dining table. This surpassed my expectations. We enjoyed pre-drinks in the garden first and were also able to relax in comfortable chairs outside after eating. The menu is varied,catering for most tastes and the food delightful. An outstanding, family run pub.

We came today (26th Aug - bank holiday Monday!) and expected a long wait, but we were greeted by two lovely girls behind the bar who couldn’t have been more helpful, sat in a little garden area with fab cushions and the food was piping hot, freshly cooked and delicious. The girl who served us (the shorter of the two behind the bar) was genuinely one of the best servers I’ve come across - and no, I don’t know her personally. We’ll definitely be returning to try the waffles and milkshakes!

If you want to be inundated by 30 or 40 flies and bombarded by ultra loud music that gives you a headache come here and be served by disinterested staff come here. Otherwise stay away loads of other decent clean quiet pubs nearby.

Not living in swindon we wanted to take our daughter out for lunch today( 31/7/19)...so after a short drive round came across The Brewers...so glad we did ..super surroundings ..lovely staff ..and really lovely food ..my daughter and I had Lasagne salad Garlic bread and chips ..and my husband had Batter chicken burger salad and chips ..sounds ordinary..but tasted great ..very nice and value for money followed by a delicious cheesecake mango and passion fruit yummy ..with ice cream was really nice ...Will definitely go back when in Swindon and my daughter says she bringing her partner too next time ...the waitress was very sweet and new to her job ..very attentive and professional...Thank you Brewers ...

Went as a family on a Sunday the weather was hot. Lovely sitting outside. But l am afraid more staff is needed. Took so long at the bar to get drinks. Also they ran out of chips. Burger and potato fries does not work

Ordered game pie very disappointing as it was still frozen in the middle I reported this to staff and explained I didn’t want a replacement if they cant warm up a frozen pie properly I wasn’t going to eat there. They Made it a big deal in front of other customers giving me my money back not very professional. No real apology and no offer of a courtesy drink or anything as a gesture of good Will we will not be coming back

This place has the possibility to be a gold mine and needs strong management and kitchen to succeed. Problems - takes far too long to get food - we arrived 14.30 and got fed 16.00. 2nd problem - sweet potato fries arrived instead of chips (Why would you not ask someone if they liked them rather than just delivering). Yorkshire puddings were overdone and tasteless. Peas were promised and did not arrive with fish and chips. I could go on but this pub could be fantastic but is currently bordering on mediocrity at best. We went there for my wife's 65th and very very disappointing.

I came to this quaint, chic village pub on a Saturday evening with my friend for some drinks and good food. The staff were very friendly and polite which is a nice change to the usual bartenders elsewhere. I had the Seafood Paella and my friend chose to have the Barbury Duck with mash, both were from the specials board and they were were executed brilliantly. The atmosphere was calm and people were having a good time with a couple of big tables celebrating. The garden area looks like it would be great during the summer, especially with those TV's out back! My Paella had plenty of seafood which i was grateful for and i tried the duck which was very tender also. My favourite part about the visit was the food and service, we would both definitely eat here again.

My husband and I came this evening a Friday evening. Hope it picks up for them. Food was good. Had the flat breads and hummus. My husband had the paella which was good and very generous and hot. I had the duck which was good. My husband had the game and rabbit pie

Quiet, perhaps due to the inaccurate information on their website regarding opening hours, good service but food not so great. So many pies on offer, must be bought in, Moroccan style lamb tagine with couscous - not so much lamb, quite salty, otherwise tasty

How this place got a 5star food hygiene rating? That’s a big question... You are provided plastic cups to use for a watered down juices. That sould be just a small issue, but when you realise that the owner washing these cups and reuse them is just out of order. After realised it we squashed our cups but it looked like it’s ain’t going to stop the owner as the “clean” cups had creases on them so he just make them look better. That is just unbelieveable and unacceptable. Even the sandwiches didn’t look fresh and after the party it just went back to the storage (I bet for future use) Obviously when someone drop their kids they just had to the pub and the kids left on their own and they don’t see all these things. One of the girl been sick the day after the party. She ate a “sandwich” provided, our kids alright as they’re fussy, in this case Thanks God.

We returned after a year to have another lunchtime meal, we ordered chicken and bacon sandwich and a beans jacket potato and our friends had a liver and onions and a chicken stack. There was a half hour wait but it was worth the wait all the meals were nice no problems at all.

We have been back a few times now since we had a family party in there little private dinning room. The standard of food is very good. Lovely homemade pies and the waffles are nice too. Nice decor with good staff, would definitely recommend it.

We came on a Saturday night and the pub seems to be under new management. The drinks were good but our pies were disappointing. Both were heavy on the pastry and very dry, with a very small pot of chutney and coleslaw on the side. The chunky chips were plentiful and very tasty but we didn't pay for just chips. It's a shame ...

Went here on good Friday booked before as thought it would be busy. Was very very quite. I ordered a vegan burger which came with normal coleslaw and wasn't that great the chips had a funny after taste. I expected a bit more from a pub that was once very good for food.

We went to brewers tonight for a birthday meal and have been going here for years before it was taken into new management. The food came out and my partners fish and chips were excellent -crispy and not greasy but my chicken and gammon pie had no gammon in it. This was resolved quickly and without a fuss by the manager and when it arrived it was worth waiting for! Overall a good experience and the food was amazing

We came yesterday with the family. We were so lucky to find a table outside under the Apple blossom . There were five of us. Plus a puppy of 12 weeks. It worked out really well. We have not been for a long time and were plesently surprised with the new menu. The only reason l have given this review average is because there was only one member behind the bar and took ages to get drinks. Then over an hour for food. So we did wait a while. The food was nice. Vegan pizza really tasty. Salmon was good and the second pizza. The sandwich was ok but rather bland. We did think the bottle of savougion blanc was over priced. We shall come again and try the evening menu.

Came here for a friends birthday on Friday, fro, start to finish the service was excellent. Nothing was too much for the friendly staff and we all had a great time. Food was lovely also - not an empty plate! Thank you for a perfect evening - highly recommend the separate dining room for lager parties.

Lovely country pub with a real friendly welcoming atmosphere.. Food is really good Great Beer Garden for families with kids ... Well worth a visit

I visited here on a busy Sunday with family (granted it was Mother’s Day so going to be busy). I had decided to book here as a friend had been a few times recently and pictures showed looked good and she recommended it. I admit I haven’t been to the brewers in years so thought we would give it a try. We ordered starters and I really enjoyed mine of the goats cheese tart it was tasty. Others ordered tomato soup and I didn’t try it but I will be honest looked like Heinz soup nothing special. The roast dinner is good although Yorkshire were flat and rubbery. It appeared that as they was so busy the service had slipped and it took very long between course for plates to be cleared and orders taken for next course. We also had to ask for drinks refills. I would say in all food is worth the price and may come back but it would likely only be if friends suggested coming back. I would like to think that service was only like this due to it being a busy afternoon and would not be like this usually. I really want to give more but I can’t and hope that should I return I can give a better review next time.

If you are in Wiltshire or neighbouring counties make the trip to this pub.

We frequently come here as a group for leaving lunches, food and service is always great and they always welcome us ordering in advance. Good choice on the menu and plenty of parking spaces, looking forward to eating outside in the summer.

We dropped in 'on spec' on a Wednesday lunchtime. The atmosphere was lively, the staff friendly and the food good at reasonable price. The pub interior has recently been extensively refurbished and looks good too. What more do you need !

Four of us ate here on Sunday lunchtime. When the booking was made it was apparently stated that the full menu would be available but in fact this wasn't the case and a limited Sunday lunch menu was the only one available. My starter of Flat Bread with hummus and tzatziki was first class and delicious but my main course of roast beef was very over cooked. Maybe I should have enquired before ordering if it was rare or well done. The accompanying vegetables were fine. I didn't have a pudding but one of our party had the apple pie and it looked excellent. The staff are very friendly.

Went here on a Friday evening with a group of people. Good menu selection, good pricing and catered for lots of needs! Quick and efficient service, food well presented. Lovely evening. Oh and plenty of parking.

We booked a table for 12 people fairly last minute. Restaurant was lovely. I had steak and Stilton pie which was delicous. The menu is primarily pies, all sorts of fillings! There is also a specials board.

We tried this venue on the off chance, we hadn't booked but the lady at the Bar was very accommodating and said that we could sit in the family bar.

Fancying a meal out on a Friday evening, my girlfriend and I opted for the Brewers Arms in Wanborough. Its nice to say that everything about the meal was excellent, the service, the food and the surroundings. I had the chorizo and wild boar pie whilst my girlfriend had the liver and bacon - we were both impressed and duly cleaned our plates!! The waiters and waitresses were attentive without being overbearing and it felt as though all were eager to please. I'd happily go back, as would my girlfriend.

We were not over impressed with the menu at the brewers. Nice atmosphere, nice pub, but we have had better food. Pie was nice, but the accompaniment were very odd. Coleslaw was ok, but should of been chilled, pickle and red onion chutney in the side does not go with chicken and leek pie. Very strange combination. Staff were friendly, desserts very basic, and presentation basic, overall value for money ok, for a pub, but I don’t think the quality matched the price. Sorry, won’t be rushing back.

I visited The Brewers Arms tonight with 3 friends. I’d looked at the menu in advance and didn’t think any of us would have a problem selecting something that really appealed. I thought the menu offered a good variety of choices and this was further supplemented by a ‘specials board.’

I had ham and chips at 10.00, my ham was really tough and horrid, I did say at the time, but waitress not interested, found staff rude, and not bothered at all. Won’t go again.
