Popped in on my way down the M4, it wasn’t too much of a detour, didn’t want to go to a service station and buy rubbish food. Loved the juice, little boy loved the pancakes, I had an avocado and mushroom on toast breakfast and it was delicious and tasted like real food. Staff very friendly. You can see fruit and vegetables going into the food so it’s well worth the money. If I lived closer I’d go all the time. Bit hard to find the front door, but very nice inside. Loved it!

since it’s gone upstairs the quality and whole ethos has changed and I guess with suppliers wanting cash on delivery or payment straight away they may be struggling and the quality is showing

The new location of the core may have been unfinished when I visited but it felt messy, disorganised and unwelcoming. I was met with two grumpy female teenagers “serving” who seemed annoyed by our visit to the core and were very rude and impatient with me regarding our order. Juices we’re still delicious but the setting and staff customer service has certainly gone downhill and with such expensive prices I begrudge paying for such treatment. I will unfortunately no longer be a loyal customer of the core.

I have frequented The Core a lot. Sometimes alone and sometimes with a friend.When I first discovered it I was delighted...healthy food and drinks in Swindon; quite a find.Over a period of time I found that I couldn't continue to rely on their business hours, so much so that even checking their website didn't guarantee I would be in time to order. Closing times have pulled back from 3pm to 2pm and, finally, 1pm.In recent months I called beforehand because it would be pointless to travel 8 miles to be disappointed. It is not as though there is a similar alternative in Old Town. I was told that as long as I arrived to order before Ipm I would be served.When I/we arrived, we were told that the kitchen had closed. It was 12.50. The staff in question dealt with it well as there was no alternative. It had been quiet and they had started clearing before 1pm.I gave all that explanation as a background to my frustration two weeks ago when I arrived on a wet and windy day at around 11.45 -12. I wanted lunch as I was going onto a further appointment.As I reached the top of the stairs, the owner was seemingly holding a business meeting; the place was empty and he explained that there had been an event the night before (waving his hand at some balloons) and the staff were sleeping it off."Didn't you see the notice on the (open) door?" "No". As I walked out it saw it laying sodden on the pavement.My point is...businesses need to exhibit reliability or they will lose their customers. Customers like myself will say 'I like the concept but I do not like the fact that there is a certain 'gung ho' attitude to how the business is run regarding opening hours'.

I went to Swindon for a meeting with a few clients and striped to the cafe to have a coffee and a piece of toast. My surprise was when the girl asked me to pay total of £8.25 separated on £2.30 for a coffee and £5.95 for two of the smallest toast I have ever had in my life. I tried to speak with the staff and after 10 minutes being ignored, one of them came to my assistance. I asked for the receipt because I was trying to understand why it was so expensive and for my surprise, they weren't giving receipts to the customers. They told me the price was that and the machine for receipts was broken.I have a picture of the information about my bill and a piece of the paper they wrote down for me.This is ridiculous and against the law, so I would like my refund about this and this same email will be printed everywhere so you can learn to charge a reasonable price to your customers. Please I expect to be contacted back to solve this situation. Thanks Rikardo

Went to order a hot juice here on a Saturday; I usually visit The Core 3-4 times per year and enjoy their food and coffee. Waited for nearly 10 minutes to be served whilst the cashier appeared to be catching up with someone whilst taking their order! She didn’t even acknowledge my presence behind them. She apologised for the wait then proceeded to tell me they were “struggling with takeaway cups at the moment”, aka, they didn’t have any. Left without placing an order. There was a gentleman outside still waiting for his juice when I left, having placed the order well before I arrived. I always support local businesses and have frequented many of the lovely coffee shops and gift shops in Old Town, especially during this time, but The Core has been rapidly worsening over the past few years with their service. Won’t be visiting again.

I visited the Core with my dad for brunch and fresh smoothies for a great start to our trip. It was so tasty, we came back the next day to sample more from their menu. I'm a big fan of smashed avo on toast and I have tried many variations wherever I visit. The Core has nailed it with theirs! I loved the flavour combinations with mushrooms, rocket and tomato accompanying the avocado and it was seasoned perfectly. On our next visit I tried their vegan/plant-based version, which was on pancakes and without the eggs, also delicious! The smoothies are great, made from real fresh fruits and veggies right in front of your eyes, rather than pre-made or mixed with juices like some other places I've visited. For me it's a treat and investment in my body and health. I also just love the colour of the juices.I wish there were places like this in every town. Do your body and taste buds a favour and go visit them.

Visited today with my dog as I have done once a week for the last couple of months. I like to rest & have a coffee and toast before continuing my walk. Imagine my surprise when having placed my usual order for 2 brown toast with vegan butter to be told by the manager that she could not fulfil my order and that “the vegan butter was for staff use only”. I can only assume my expenditure of nearly £5 is no longer thought to be good use of a table or my order is not healthy enough for their image! Unbelievable, but true. Obviously neither I or by wife will be going again.

I went here around a year ago, my experience echoing a lot of the poor reviews here; snotty service, ridiculous waiting time for simple dish on a quiet afternoon etc etcWas craving some fresh orange juice today so thought I’d tolerate the pretentiousness of the whole gig and get a take-out, only to be told at the counter ‘we don’t have any oranges.. because our juices tend not to be made with them we don’t usually stock them’Some ‘juicery’...To be fair this vegan bolthole had made some desperate attempts to diversify; a plethora of honey based products littered the shelves, behind the grubby leather sofas. You can even buy a ‘core’ branded reusable water bottle for £13.95, or some bamboo toilet paper.People claiming on here of being overpriced are deluded. The one thing in the core’s favour is the price - worryingly cheap, and a non-sustainable business model.This place will be gone in a year or two

I visit mainly for coffee, which I realise is not the proprietor ‘s main focus, but it is always a pleasant experience. However, the last couple of times I’ve visited it has been rather inconsistent, no large coffee cups, no spread for toast, forgotten to bring food over, etc. Perhaps the staff - who are always welcoming and friendly - were just having off days!

Could never understand why as an Old Town person, with friends really into healthy eating, no one would ever go to The Core with me. Today a friend agreed to try it. I must admit I asked her to go in first as it looks intimidating. There was only one other couple in when we entered, so we chose a table and sat down. Absolutely no eye contact or greeting from the staff. We looked at the menu written behind the counter, which mentioned the 'main menu'. Deliberated whether we were meant to go to the counter and ask for a main menu. Another couple entered and a staff member walked straight over and gave them a menu, so we managed to grab them and ask for one. The menu was pretty much the same as was behind the counter, very little choice compared to what we had seen on the website, still no interaction from the staff. We chose 2 of the mains, to be told one wasn't available, so both ended up with the halloumi salad. We both agreed the salad was in desperate need of some sort of dressing, really dry!! Can't believe how much they can charge for some couscous, spiralised veg and a bit of halloumi. Went home very hungry and cooked myself a proper meal.

We popped into The Core for lunch allowing well over an hour for our visit as we had an appt near by. As we approached the till there were three girls busy chatting making juices etc. We stood there and waited and waited ! No customer service just their heads down ignoring us. Perhaps a eye to eye contact and a ‘we won’t be a minute’ would have helped. Finally someone took our order. One coffee one smoothie and some lunch two salads! 30 mins later no coffee no smoothie and certainly no food . I asked the girl who was passing how long it would be and she said a while. Great why not mention it when we ordered! I said it’s been half an hour and no drinks. Another 15 mins and as our time was beginning to run out I mentioned we would have to go soon. Our drinks arrived the food well after and as we bolted down our lunch as we had 5 mins to spare. Not the most relaxing or enjoyable. The service was poor and very slow. Not sure we will bother again .

Good location in the old town and staff are friendly however it is overpriced for what it is. The coffee isn't great and you don't get much of it. Worst of all had to wait about 10 minutes for a member of staff to bring over a flat white after ordering it and sitting down. It wasn't as if it was busy only a party of 3 in the place apart from me.

Popped in to sample their vegetarian menu for lunch. The staff were very helpful, the food delicious and imaginative. Remarkably very filling and of course exceptionally healthy. Parking was not a problem as a decent public carpark is very close. Just the place to while away a slow lunch reading the complimentary newspapers.

The Core has a completely different atmosphere/ethos to many places around Swindon - so makes a welcome change. Definitely guilt-free food can be found here.

A nice trendy juice and health food bar. Nice juices, nice little food menu, terribly slow service. When they have no other customers, it still takes them around 20 minutes to make you a coffee, or 20 minutes to make you a peanut butter sandwich. These things should be 5 mins at the most. My friend wanted a coffee to go, but after about 20 minutes he requested a refund and walked out annoyed with them. How they think it is acceptable service is beyond me. This is not a place to go at lunch time, you will return to work hungry! The Core really need to up their game. I would love to be able to recommend them as it is a lovely place, but based on the super slow service during my visit, I probably won't return.

I'm a huge fan of juice bars, they are few a far between unless you're in the city. I was so pleased to see this place and wanted to give it a whirl. I ordered the Beetroot, Kale, Lemon etc. It was perfectly done and tasted lovely. There is more to discover here as they also have a holistic lounge but I didn't have time to check this. Only flaw was a lack of choice, most juices use the same ingredients and there was only two Vegan options for food (that I could see). But I was told they have added to their menu recently, so I guess they are being proactive and looking to hone the variety. Can't wait for when it does. Give it a try, very delicious

Ate here after my wife had been wanting to try it for ages. I normally live by the policy no meat no meal so was shocked by the fact there wasn't any on the menu as my wife sold it to me as a healthy restaurant. But once I had scanned the menu and ordered what turned out to be a little too much I enjoyed every bite. The food was really good. My wife really enjoyed her meal also. The service was good and everyone was really friendly. The pancakes were really good and they even put an extra topping on there that was on offer on the menu which I appreciated. The atmosphere was cool and I would definitely go back.

So, I've just been to the Core, their avocado on toast is pure delight... Coffee not bad either. But, I would hope that on a cold November morning the place would be a touch warmer. Also considering I was one of two customers in there, I hoped that for once it wouldn't take an eternity to get a latte, but alas, nearly 25 minutes after ordering, I had to ask how long it would be... I would expect the toast to take that length of time to arrive, not coffee. I was also treated like I had committed a mortal sin when I dared to ask how much longer it would take. According to the not quite awake chap behind the counter, he didn't realise I was next... With one other customer, who already had her juice and toast... Who else was there to serve?! Oh Core, I so enjoy the food and juices... But the service and attitude of the staff leaves a alot to be desired!

We enjoyed lunch here, especially the very tasty Pad Thai. Ingredients are clearly fresh and good quality and the service was good. Perhaps some kind of flavouring on the table (pepper, salt, chilli?) might be good as there was no salt in the dishes (good idea) but it would have been nice to have been able to add a little more flavour to the blander dishes. Food seemed reasonably priced and the cost was as usual for freshly prepared smoothies, high in relation to the food but understandably so.

I absolutely love The Core, is so nice to have something like this in Swindon. So I was really disappointed today when my experience didn't live up to my expectations. There was no queue when I entered, and the place was relatively quiet. There were four ladies working behind the till, one of them concentrating on getting food orders out, but the other three incredibly slow and unfocused. I waited over 20 minutes for 2 takeaway smoothies. And worst of all, got a parking ticket while I waited (my fault for parking my car there and thinking it would be quick). I didn't complain as I was in a hurry and I think the person who would have listened to the complaint was the lady working hard on the food (who looked very busy). Such a shame as I love the drinks but my trip ended up costing me £43.

I was a regular customer at The Core but after my recent experience I have decided that I will be going somewhere else for my lunch now. I ordered a smoothie and decided to choose 'The House' sandwich as it stated on the menu and on the board behind the counter that it was made with homemade hummus. I waited about 20 minutes for this sandwich and I happened to notice that whilst they were making it they opened a brand new packet of readymade 'supermarket' hummous. I felt that this was totally misleading because it was supposed to be homemade. I politely mentioned it to the man when he approached my table and I was really disappointed with his attitude. He said that they don't use homemade hummous anymore but didn't seem to think it was an issue that it was on the menu as homemade. He never apologized and his attitude made me feel like I was in the wrong for mentioning anything. I did point out that one of the reasons I chose 'The House' sandwich was because it had homemade hummous. After this he walked away and then came back and dumped a sealed drink on the table with no label on it and said 'this is homemade I made it last night'!!! Needless to say I walked out after this.

One of the things you find when your a vegan is how hard it can be eating out..don't even get me started on the fact we don't usually end up with dessert as it's normally milk based. So imagine my delight when a night out was organised at The Core in Swindon and I found out we could eat everything yes EVERYTHING they put in front of us!!! Being able to sit and watch the amazing chef prepare this gorgeous food was also fabulous and all the staff were so friendly and hardworking!! I've never eaten raw before but can honestly say it was so tasty and i will definitely be going back and also trying their range of juices and smoothies so thankyou for making this particular vegan very happy and for opening my eyes on trying different types of food. I highly recommend The Core in old town for amazing atmosphere and raw food and juices so good you will keep going back for more......♡

I'm living and working in Old Town and have been to The Core almost on a daily basis for the last few months. Very welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and the juices and smoothies are not just fresh an healthy, but actually taste great. Also a massive positive is, that nobody is trying to convert you to a vegan lifestyle. I haven't made major changes to my diet, just added some smoothies and juices and I'm feeling awesome. Seems like vitamins and all that other healthy stuff actually is good for you.

I have visited The Core a few times and have always felt welcomed with friendly helpful staff. Great for a healthy kick start with there juice programmes or to enjoy a light lunch/cake. Children are also welcomed with open arms which is great ☺

So walked in for a coffee; after deliberating where was the closest place to get a decent latte and get back in time for a meeting. A mistake if ever I made one. I was greeted with contempt upon asking for a coffee; I should have known when I walked through the door all eyes fell on me (staff eye's that was). The place opens at 8am; I walked in at 8.35 and all the chairs were still up.

The Core have started to introduce raw food nights and 3 friends and I went on Friday. They had 2 choices for starter, main and dessert all of which were amazing. I went for the open tacos, mushroom lasagne and banoffee pie which tasted delicious. Knowing it is all raw and healthy is a bonus. Looking forward to going again to try different ideas.

If you're wandering around Swindon and need somewhere nice and comfy to enjoy a coffee or freshly made juice then this is the place. Having your typical indie-bo-ho vibe you might be forgiven for expecting a stripped back service with limited variety, not so! Firstly you are taken with the attractiveness of the place, lovely neutral colours compliment each other and give and earthy yet cosmopolitan tone (as you'd expect from a modern Juice bar) managing to never feel washed out or stale. Local art adorns right hand wall the variety is a positive addition to the place. I'm usually heavily against mismatched furniture having working and dining in places that use it, you always run the risk of having a horribly uncomfortable chair which has been chosen for form rather than function. Here though, a combination of old Chesterfields and old Singer sowing machine tables (these seem to be everywhere now) go well with recycled metal chairs and up-cycled shelving and fruit crates.

I've been to The Core on multiple occasions now, with friends and even my grandparents. The juices are delicious and even if the ingredients sound strange or you don't like them individually, they taste amazing in a smoothie with other fresh, healthy ingredients. Personally, I really dislike mango but the 'Mango Lassi' drink actually tasted surprisingly good! However, I have to recommend the 'Blush Puppy', as its always delicious and never lets me down! The prices are quite high but its definitely worth it!

Excellent juices and smoothies, though service a little haphazard - one of ours arrived a long time after the others. We were lucky enough to arrive just as the people sitting on the comfy leather Chesterfield sofas left, and we enjoyed a pleasant half-hour of relaxation with our drinks. The clientele seemed quite varied: friends, couples, families, older and younger people. The staff seemed very busy although the cafe was less than half full. Pleasant atmosphere.

My first trip to Core & was very impressed by their selection of natural herbal teas and juices/smoothies. Relaxing environment & friendly and helpful staff. Food bowls taste delicious and give you a great buzz to start the day! Recommended :)

I normally have a lovely experience,i am used to the lovely focused staff and incredible drinks however, the staff that was serving on the 4th of june were unfocused, chatting to each other which left me and other customers waiting for about 10 mins, took them ages to make as they were chatting and gossiping! i normally don’t like writing reviews but felt this was necessary:/ photo is supposed to be a mint choc chip frostino 🤦♀️

We fancied a change from the hotel restaurant and the menu the Freke Arms offered had plenty of gluten-free options as well. We booked and received a message back quickly confirming the booking. We were greeted warmly and shown to our table promptly. Menu options were explained clearly and there were several specials on offer. The food we received was plentiful and very tasty indeed and the beer and wine were delicious. All the staff were friendly and we had a good chat about the pub as it had a bit of history. Karen and her staff went above and beyond and the service we received was first class. If we are ever in the area again we would certainly stop by the Freke Arms for a meal.
