The Golden Swan in Wiltshire

The landlords tea mug kind of sums up the experience, “Do I look like of f*****g people person” clearly not. 2* earned as the soup was very good but the pub was empty and the welcome less than welcoming. Try smiling Mr Landlord, you need to drive the atmosphere not turn it sour.

The worst Sunday lunch we’ve ever had. Tough tastless beef, the most unappetising looking “roast” chicken that looked more like it had been boiled, congealed gravy & watery tasteless veg. Chose to eat outside as the pub smelt weird inside. Absolutely awful. We were on a barge trip for the weekend to celebrate a birthday & ended up laughing a lot at my husband trying to cut the meat whilst muttering to himself. Such a shame as the environs are lovely and as your choices are restricted along the canal this could be a wonderful watering hole along the way, can’t believe people actually choose Sunday lunch here. We ended up wrapping the meat in napkins & giving it to a dog owner during our walk back to the boat.

Great pub and food!!!!! Been there many times camping on theor fantastic camp site and used all their facilities. Superb

We always take our grandchildren here for Sunday lunch when they visit. The best Sunday lunch around with plentiful plate and well cooked. Great in good weather to sit outside and always a warm welcome. Have had evening meals occasional evening meals, too, which has been just as good. Nice village setting.

Our first night in NYC, we chose to dine at the relatively new restaurant The Golden Swan in the West Village. We arrived early and had two well made cocktails (Calvados Sidecar with absinthe and a classic Negroni) in the Wallace Bar (named for the owner of the original turn of the century Golden Swan on 4th St.). We then moved to the upstairs cozy dining room for dinner. Chef Doug Brixton, formerly of Michelin starred Bâtard, prepared a Poached Halibut and Crescent Duck for our dinner that were both perfectly cooked and pleasingly presented by the quietly efficient waitstaff. The friendly and knowledgeable wine captain, Penny, suggested an on point Morgon Gamay and a Guimaro Mencia to pair with our dishes. Our chocolate Marjolaine dessert with coffee ice cream was a heavenly finish to a quintessential NY dining experience.

Just got home after spending two days in the pub camping field Very friendly staff , pub food excellent ,only downfall was the lack of ladies toilets (Shower and toilet block in camping field would be better)

We love this pub and take our Grandaughters every year for Sunday lunch. The owners are welcoming and we highly rcommend the lunch which is cooked beautifully and always a generous helping. We love the fact that you can order in advance and not long to wait. We have also had evening meals here which are also great and well priced. We don't live locally but feel we would like to make the journey more often as such great food.

Stayed in the campsite for 2 nights and visited the pub on both nights. Dave the landlord is very welcoming and the staff are too. If you are looking for somewhere nice and relaxed with great food this is the place to go. We will be coming back again soon being only a short drive away from home.

We had a very nice welcome to this country pub, had excellent food with welcoming staff and locals. We stayed in our motorhome overnight. Facilities are spot on too. We would highly recommend a visit for food, beer and/or stay.

We went on a walk along the K&A canal my map app showed a pub near to the canal. We are so glad we found this pub. Such a lovely old style village pub. Asked if the did food. It was Sunday so they only did Sunday lunch. We ordered two. Woow. So impressed by the Sunday lunch. Good sized plates. Lots of meat with the veg , stuffing , Yorkshire pud and the best proper roast potatoes ever. Service was great. Also the attention to detail. My partner had chicken I had the pork. The gravy came in two gravy boats. One was for the Chicken dinner and the other for The pork. There are not many pubs or restaurants that would do that. Thank You to every staff member. Will visit again for sure and recommend this amazing place for Sunday lunch.

Booked our motor home in the golden swan camp site And were tempted by the Oktoberfest night We were joined by friends and family and the night began Lively band and caller who got us all active Plenty of German food to soak up the beer Great nigh was had by all night

We visited here as we stayed in a local air bnb and saw this was nearby. Firstly, the pub only serves food from 5.30 onwards and isn’t open on Tuesdays so do check before you arrive. The Facebook page and website don’t seem to be up to date… However! That being said! It’s a lovely lovely pub. It serves local ales and has a nice menu. We ordered pork belly and steak, it was simple, rustic food done well. The mash with the pork belly was done by hand, and very buttery, very nice. The pork itself wasn’t crackly as described but was a whole rolled joint of slow cooked roast pork belly which was amazing. Couldn’t get better value for money anywhere else. The steak had home fried onion rings and the steak itself was huge, again incredible value for money. The cask beer was beautifully kept and served local brewery ales. Would definitely return if in the area and would thoroughly recommend to any one near by. They also have camping facilities.

Lovely thatched pub serving amazing food, lovely chatting resident Parrot and lovely resident dog, also free roaming chickens here and a cockerel to wake you in the morning, campsite is lovely with well kept grass and lovely views of the resident horses and goats, campsite prices are good plenty of space to spread out, dog friendly my puppy pug loved his first camping trip, they have a lovely wood fired pizza oven in the beer garden which is amazing and they serve the best pizzas beer garden is lovely in the evening with lots of lights all round, only one toilet and shower for campsite so could get really busy in height of summer, really enjoyed my stay and me and my bongo chums are allready looking to organise another get together here soon thanks guys for a great stay!

Ordered a mushroom stroganoff and was extremely disappointed that it was not creamy instead it had a vinegary tomato taste. Mentioned to waitress who did nothing. When we went to pay landlord was extremely rude saying it was due to it being vegan friendly. Nothing on menu to imply this and had I known would have chosen something different. Will not return

We've visited this pub numerous times over the past 6 years and witnessed a gradual decline in the standard of the food. Visited on Friday (19th Aug 22) for an evening meal and finally ordered the beef and ale pie. What a travesty of a meal; the pie was a bowl of beef and ale stew topped, well thrown on, with a pathetic puff pastry disc. This isn't a pie, they tried, and masively failed, with this aweful "deconstructed" pie. It was a poor mimicry of a pie and taste not nice though the pub dog liked it. The veg were under cooked. O! And the chips. all 14 of them.

I have popped in here a few times over the years . I've never found the Landlord and Landlady to be rude they just don't have what it takes to run a pub . For instance one evening we popped in for a pint, we were the only people at the bar and the landlady was sat at her computer for five minutes or so before she got up and served us . Another time we went for their steak night and I asked the landlord if he could give me a cut worth about 20 pounds and he couldn't even estimate that , he just said its not how we do it you indicate how much you want . I mean I don't know how much steak I can get for that price , I'd never been there before for the steak night and surely he must have had some idea . In the end we didn't bother and went to the pub in Bottlesford instead for a meal and we have never been back here food since . Its well worth it if you want to sit outside and have drink and chill with some friends in nice surroundings its perfect for that and the pub itself is lovely its just a shame its not in the hands of owners who are more welcoming , friendly and helpful . Its the attitudes of those owners that earn it a two star rating .

Not much more to say than the title. Unfortunately the staff were rude and unaccommodating, food and drinks were ridiculously over priced. Such a shame, the area has some really lovely pubs which are better value for money with great staff. Wouldn’t recommend.

This pub has so much potential but is really let down by the staff and service. I have been to the pub a few times now and each time am really shocked by the level of service but last night topped it off and I...

Friendly pub with a pleasant garden. The Sunday roast was tasty with plenty of vegetables and the staff were polite and helpful. However, you do need to book in advance for a Sunday as the food is freshly cooked.

Booked for lunch after a dog walk and weren't sure what to expect as we'd had a disappointing visit in lockdown. The pub was very quiet and we were served quickly. Husband ordered ham, egg and chips which was delicious.... Proper ham, crispy fluffy chips...

Whilst staying in Wiltshire for a couple of nights, we popped into The Golden Swan for a drink and a bite to eat. The food was delicious and plentiful and reasonably priced. We could also bring our dog along. Very friendly service and highly recommend.

Arrived at the golden swan on pushbikes hoping to stay at the campsite. Was welcomed and booked in, had a sneaky half of horizon which was a nice beer. Arranged to book in for Sunday lunch the following day and mentioned I was vegan but...

Absolutely beautiful garden and setting but overpowered by the cons I'm afraid... I usually never leave negative reviews as I recognise sometimes businesses are just having a bad day and we are all doing our best. However, I felt compelled to as I have left...

My family and I had a delicious dinner at the pub. The staff were so friendly & accommodating and couldn’t do more for you. The food was so good-the wild boar and chorizo burger was to die for! Already planning our next visit! Highly recommended...

Lovely meal with family! The pub looked magical on arrival and was so relaxing and friendly. The food was pub style with lots of choice and all plates were empty afterwards! The wild boar burger was a big hit and the price and service was...

Stayed on campsite recently. The pub has so much potential but is being run into the ground with over the top Covid restrictions. Punters still not allowed in pub to drink and will not be served food inside unless you pre book. Toilets not cleaned...

popped in for a drink after a walk. well, even popping in for a drink seemed an inconvenience. no we hadn't booked and we stayed away from the larger tables - though i'm not sure why. Guinness looked and tasted like it had been poured...

Pros: beautiful aesthetic, nice garden Cons: inhospitable landlord, lunch not served past 1.45pm despite the website stating it was until 2pm, (proceeded to turn down at lest 10 further covers who asked for lunch), not allowed inside to use the toilet despite COVID restrictions being...

Myself and a friend stopped and had a drink and a bite to eat after a fantastic walk. Have to say that I read previous reviews and was not sure what to expect though I had been here a few years ago. Must say that...

Recently visited the above after a very long walk, to be told by the landlord that the kitchen was closed, 5 minutes before we arrived! No way was there any flexibility, not even a sandwich or ploughman’s. Both of which are very simple to prepare....

After a lengthy walk along the canal we arrived here hoping to have lunch, it was after all a Bank Holiday Friday. We were told the kitchen had shut 5 minutes earlier, we asked if they could rustle us up a sandwich but this was...

We were attending Honeyfest 2021 this weekend and decided to have a pleasant 1 hr 30 min walk along the K and A canal to have a lunch at TGS in Wilcot. The walk was very pleasant, the pub experience was not. We arrived at...

This is a really nice pub that is spoilt by the horrible attitude of the landlord. We were made to feel extremely uncomfortable during our stay. Treats his customers as an inconvenience. Talking to other guests, they also expressed their dissatisfaction with his attitude.

I have to wonder why these people run what could be an amazing venue. Our welcome was haphazard at best, wasnt even sure the young chap in the weird gazebo collection point/store/bin area was staff. He couldn't find our booking but as we had insisted we had booked we were allowed inside. It was cold, with an unpleasant atmosphere. The waiter had absolutely no idea what he was doing, I have never had worse service anywhere. Despite the crazily over the top covid rules he was constantly running his hands through his greasy long fringe and pulling his trousers up over his bum. The food could of been acceptable, but the ham was off, the chips were turning, even the peas tasted like they had been in freezer for too long. When we mentioned the ham the chef/landlady came and had a go at us brandishing a pair of tongs and walked away muttering about god knows what.My sister got a telling off for using the indoor loo. We were not told there was an outside toilet we had to use. We heard the landlady shouting at the other cook about letting her go up there. We felt so uncomfortable, unbelievably unwelcome and would never return!

The pub serves good food but even though COVID rules changed in July you would think it was still Summer 2020. Outside you have to wait and get drinks, order food and then collect it. No-one appeared to ask if food ok as there was no table service at all. I would have thought, by now, that they should be getting back to normal.

If you have not ventured out since the start of the pandemic and you are nervous - this is the place for you. Remote location, outside ordering table, collection points, you even get your cutlery delivered wrapped in clingfilm. According to the website you have to book to eat inside - we rang 10 times and nobody answered the phone so outside it was. We arrived by canal and asked a local about the pub who said it was average pub food - turned out as very average pub food. So if you want to be treated like a leper and eat very average pub food then this is the place for you.

Staying in the camp site and decided to pop along for some food. I had the gammon steak and must say it was the biggest I have ever had. Tender with all the trimming. I am blown away. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu.

I ve decided to stop reading the negative reviews of establishments before I go, I'd never go anywhere otherwise, however...I asked the waitress, who was busy with a feather duster on a metal gazebo, what the situation was with food. It wasn't clear, there were no menus and our fellow diners looked just as confused. The waitress looked perplexed, popped into the pub then came back and said "We don't serve food until 12.00" It was 11.58 and I'd only asked for a menu! We got our menus and popped up to the ordering table, seemed like a good idea to do it this way with covid etc. The landlord unnerved me if I'm honest, I felt I wasnt ordering quick enough and when I had to ask my son to run back to the table to confirm an order, the tension in the air was palpable! A chap in his 60s asked for a couple of beers and a portion of chips - he was with his wife and a very old lady, the lad who was serving him conferred with the landlord just inside the pub and then came back and said "we re only doing what's on the menu because of the wedding" Pretty much every item on the menu comes with chips keep in mind. Surely, it wouldn't have been too much hassle to knock up a bowl of chips for an elderly couple and their even more elderly associate. Coming back to the wedding. I phoned on the Friday and asked if I needed to book, the landlord said "no, don't worry about it" we arrived at just before 12.00 and saw a lovely hay bale aisle laid out in the field next to the tables in the garden. At 12.30 a sign goes up telling people that food would stop being served at 13.00. If I'd turned up 30 mins later I doubt we'd have managed to get food! Not even a hint of this situation on my call the day before though!I'd go back I think. It was quite a surreal experience and not entirely unpleasant to be fair. The food wasn't too bad and the setting is divine. Don't think the landlord isnt getting quite the job satisfaction that he craves if I'm honest, but give it a try for yourself. It ll be memorable for sure!

Friendly service, good size portion of lovely scampi and chips. A fine pub food menu and a lovely location. Would defo return, nothing not to like really.

Went on Monday and had the best ‘pub’ food we have had for a long time. Nice staff and a lovely garden with lots of tables, will come here again.

Went with two friends and we were all very disappointed. Sunday roast was terrible. How do you get vegetables so wrong? Broccoli was yellow, potatoes tasted like they'd been cooked in pond water, chicken was inedible and yorkshire's were still frozen. Had booked to take 13 friends back for the following weekend for a celebration, have now booked somewhere else.

Sunday roast was awful, pretty much inedible. Yorkshire puddings were still frozen in the middle. Do not go there. Such a waste of a lovely Sunday afternoon!

Visited for food late afternoon/evening. All outdoor at moment but huge covered marquee in sheltered courtyard with twinkly lights and comfy chairs. Campsite outback looked lovely and will defiantly visit here soon. Showers looked clean but the one ladies I found was neglected /unchecked and full of used paper towels overflowing from bin and all over the floor. Caused by humans I know but needs regular checking and cleaningVery efficient system for food and drink ordering at front of bar entrance. Drinks orders prepared while you wait, paper menus supplied and food orders taken and buzzer issued. When it goes off, you collect your meal. Lovely friendly warm and welcoming atmosphere from staff and locals. In fact a glow to the pub in the evening light and very much at the heart of the village community New pub cat aka kitten on a harness as there were several dogs in the garden and out back a ‘chicken picnic’

Visited last Sunday having booked. Website implies a Monday to Sunday menu plus roast on Sunday. Not the case in fact, only roast, okay, but the landlord argued really unpleasantly about that . Table booked for 12 15 on a Sunday for four of us with a view to a drink before ordering food. Were told that table booked for 12 15 so must order and eat full roast immediately. Just so rude and unpleasant, barged in on conversations asking for someone we didn't know. Made Basil Fawlty seem like a charming and gracious host. A day looked forward to seeing my brother and his wife spoilt. Urgh, nasty taste in the mouth after that.

Pleasantly surprised ☺️ My friends and I would love to see more vegan options on the menu and website as they're aren't any even though they do have them. Friendly and helpful staff.

For my anniversary ordered two pizza as we were in lock down. A meat feast and a Hawaiian. These pizza are cooked outside in purpose built pizza log oven, and I will tell you that I have never tasted a better pizza. I never buy pizza express or dominos because they are pants.These are the real deal.

I think Dave forgot to attend the brewery’s customer service course. Shame really as the pub is lovely. We appeared more of a hinderance than customers. I know times are tough but this type of attitude won’t help your business one jot.

Wow what a lovely place to stay, great food and drinks, nice walks... so peaceful, we loved it.. Will be back next year for longer.. we loved to see the chickens, the parrot , the cat, horses and rabbits... very interesting place ..

Pretty building but contrasts strongly with the publican’s attitude. Heaven forbid we moved the solar stake light. Enough of an offence for the landlord to swiftly cross the beer garden, IGNORE SOCIAL DISTANCING and speak to our family rudely over it. Finished up quickly and took our money elsewhere.

Pros: chips and chorizo burger were awesome, lovely field, great fellow campers, gorgeous chickensCons: owners not welcoming, rude/aggressive - if you are not a local you don’t rate a smile and Dave won’t admit when he made a mistake with our booking even when we had evidence - we felt like we were an inconvenience to then to be camping there, toilets (singular for women)/shower (singular for entire camp) insufficient for the amount of campers on a quiet weekend, women’s toilet was filthy and overflowing Saturday am.We won’t be back. Wish we had read TA before booking.

Spent three days camping on the top field, with chums. Usual mix of punters, young & old, some noisier than others. Had house pizza and chips on Saturday night, in the garden. Good value and enjoyed by all. Wadworths beer, nicely kept traditional brews. This no-frills campsite on the edge of the Vale of Pewsey will suit campers who are self sufficient and don't mind the odd punter who stays up 'till late nearby! Mix of camper vans, tents, bikers, youngsters, DfE groups - all sorts! :-) Pub is still quite busy considering the circumstances.We walked and cycled along the canal tow-path and nearby quiet lanes and had a really good time. Lots of mildly exoctic wildlife kept the kids occupied - herons, kites, swallows, bunny rabbits, ponies, etc.etc.We think this place has a distinct non-commercial vibe - everything is a little DIY & 'home-made' and in my view, all the better for it. Folks looking for a slick, commercial set-up might want to look elsewhere. I've been here several times and will be returning.

Very bizarre experience. Have camped here before also driven from home for meals. Have always been somewhat bemused by the landlords approach to customer service.We were berated by the land lady about making a mistake over electric hook up. Quite happy to be told but during our meal we were dressed down like 5 yearolds by landlady in a very aggressive manner. Then commited the crime of leaving our plates on the table. Spent the rest of the visit trying to avoid them. This is a lovely campsite however now now clear out for toilet which I thought was a condition for Covid.also no time set for arrival and leaving which is lovely if you want to leave late but very frustrating if you want can't get on you pitch to hook up. So I would love to give the campsite a better rating that the, service.

We will be regulars!Camped overnight, long walk along the canal then back to the pub for a relaxing lunch before heading home. A short stay this time but we will be back. Food is fab. Staff extremely helpful and friendly! If you in the area a visit is a must

Went for a long walk, returned for lunch in The Golden Swan, Wilcot. went in the back way & thought what have I come to. Greeted by mine host who directed us to the bar/restaurant. Showed us menus & special board, so ordered food then got to the drinks. Wadworth ale, very pleasant host, sat down for 15mins to be served by 'the other half'. Again very pleasant, bringing in 2 lasagne specials. Best pub lunch in a long while. Tasty dish, big varied salad, lovely chips. What more could you ask for.

An hour & a half wait for crap food? Unfriendly, like we were an imposition. Save your money! Avoid!

Came here camping, the owner was very rude and unfriendly and not at all child friendly. Ruined weekend which was supposed to be relaxing. There are quite a few campsites in this area, so avoid this one!

Well don't read none of the negative comments about this place . Just been camping for the weekend and can't fault this place beautiful site clean toilets and showers and the owners really helpful and friendly and the food is really nice had a wonderful time will definitely be visiting again .nick and abi

The food here was great, the garden is lovely and the beer good. Shame that the staff, all four that we met, made us feel we were interrupting their quiet shift with no customers at all in the place.

Stopped here for lunch on the recommendation of another canal boater whilst navigating locks.Friendly welcome, excellent menu options.Mushroom stroganoff was very nice but my wife had food envy having tasted my steak and stilton pie.Unfortunately we didn't have time to sample something from the dessert menu :(

A great place to camp. Lovely and quiet with plenty of space on a nice flat field. Shower and toilet facilities are very good. The pub serves excellent food and a good choice of local real ales. The area is fantastic countryside and within easy reach of Stonehenge and Avebury prehistoric sites.Highly recommended.

Booked here as we were staying nearby and arranged to meet friends. First surprise was there is no car park-so you have to park on the road, although it is quiet there. Food was excellent-best lamb shank we have ever had and the pie of the day and the gammon was equally as good. Massive portions, some of us couldn't finish but was delicious! Coffee was awful! So strong we couldn't drink it which is a pity. They do not do lattes or capuccino. Service was friendly and there was a nice atmosphere and a very large garden to the side. Well worth a visit though and we would go again for sure.

Camped here for 2 nights with friends and enjoyed the “back to nature” experience of a campsite not overrun with play parks and entertainment nor a price to matchBasically at the Golden Swan you get a reasonable size and level field, grass well cut (no trimmings in your tent) , ground that pegs can go into. No marked pitches which makes for generally spacious experience as groups congregate together and solo campers can have their own space. And you can park next to your tent. Electric hook up is available but we didn’t use.Facilities are shower toilet and washing up space. Hot water is free. But there’s only one shower and one or 2 toilets so you have to wait your turn.Pub was lovely I drink in - we didn’t eat there but a good selection of crisps! 5 minutes down the road and you’re at the canal for pleasant walks if that’s your thingAll in all a good stay and sensible price. Would return if in the area

We were heading back along the canal and wanted to find somewhere away from the crowded wharf at Pewsey so moored up for our last night at Wilcot. We walked into the village to the Golden Swan and were thrilled with the welcome, the ambience, the food, the parrot etc. A delightful way to spend the last evening of our holiday.

We arrived just as pub closing on a Monday lunchtime, however staff friendly and welcoming to us and our dog. We had a pint each and a bag of crisps and sat in the large well maintained garden surrounded by flowers, shrubs, birds and wild rabbits that sat munching the grass 10 feet away. We vow to return at a better time.

Had planned to moor our canal boat at Pewsey and visit the Waterfront but there were no moorings so moved on and moored at Wilcot. Very friendly and comfortable pub but the star was the food, would recommend the game pie. Quite a find, I’d recommend this place.

Discovered as part of our canal boat trip. Just 10 mins walk from our mooring. Beautifull looking thatched roof pub serving good beer and food from a very varied menu.

I’m definitely going to eat here more often. The food gets better every time we visit. Really good portions, piping hot real food. Reasonably priced too. Good fish choices, you need to ask for veggie options, but they do cater for veggies - not sure about vegans. Lovely old country pub, clean and comfortable. Nice garden out the front. Host and hostess (the latter is also the chef) are so nice. TV in saloon bar, but rest of pub is unaffected by this. Quiz night first Sunday in month: must try that, no restaurant service, but apparently the quizzers get fed after the quiz! Sounds like a plan. Love the doggies and the lovely chucks in the back garden.

Camped here again and ate in the evening. Beers are very well kept and the food is good home cooked piping hot and good portions. Camp facilities are basic but clean and tidy, great country pub, use it or loose it!

Our visit was part of our White Horse Gypsy Caravans experience. There is a large campsite next door where we were able to park the caravan and tether the horse. There is a warm welcome in the pub and the beer and food is good quality at reasonable prices. What more can you ask of a country pub ?

very friendly, good food and beer, clean, good location and the dogs were welcomed, we will come back

The place is full of character and lovely people who run it, good food, great value and a decent selection of alcohol.

A winter evening visit for a group of 4. I had been warned portions were large and they are! Excellent too. A mushroom starter with tasty bread for dipping in the sauce. Maybe I should have stopped there but the pork dish was calling to me! VERY tender meat, and good vegetables, but in the end too much for me. I should have asked for a smaller dish as the landlady chef is very happy to oblige anyone's wishes. Good lighting, conversation, (mostly about Brexit!), others dining of all ages, and well worth a return visit.

So the story is that there was a firework display in our village which terrifies our dog. So the criteria was “is it far enough away, can we eat early and are they dog friendly?” We got a result on all counts – what a lovely place and people. So we had a very good meal, very reasonably priced in nice surroundings and the dog was calm.

We looked for pubs with campsites & picked this one because of its location, near a canal for walks and in a delightful village. The campsite facilities were good, including newly installed washroom, washing up area, shower & gents toilet. The ladies wc accessible 24 hours, was basic though. The food was freshly prepared for every meal and as well as being very good, very reasonably priced, the portions were enormous. Pat & Dave were good hosts and even provided a Sunday roast in the evening for us, as the tables were all booked at lunchtime. The huge meal was very welcome after a long walk along the canal to Honeystreet, as was the well kept real ale. We would certainly visit again. Steve.

I live locally and use the swan quite often. Their Sunday lunch is the best for miles around and plenty of it. GreT service very welcoming. Highly recommended

My family and I visited this pub on Saturday 1st of September. We were on our canal boat and had planned on stopping over at Pewsey late afternoon/early evening and due to various delays we didn’t get anywhere near where we wanted to, so having moored up finally around 8.40pm we were around 15 minute walk away from the golden swan, knowing that food stopped at 9pm we dashed as quick as we could all being very hungry by that point too. We arrived just before 9 and knew we wouldn’t have much chance for dinner by this point so asked the people behind the bar (as nicely as we possibly could!!) and to our very pleasant surprise they were so accommodating to us (despite actually stopping food at 8.45) and made a fantastic meal for all 6 of us which we well and truly appreciated! A really lovely little pub and cute doggo! Thank you very much!

There are 6 of us that go out once a month to different pubs. We decided to give this pub ago. 4 Mixed Grills 1 Burger and my belly pork. Everyone liked their dinners, thou the lads said their steak all came out done, which was not what they asked for. The belly pork was fabulous. Portion size you won't be disappointed. We would definitely go back. We also had Garlic Mushrooms served mushrooms in garlic oil with little toasted bread. I loved this, reminded me of tapas.

On a trip on the Kennet Avon canal we moored up close to the Golden Swan and went for dinner. Nice enough pub with some locals in on a Friday night which is always a good sign. A decent range of beers was available. However, we didn't feel the welcome was particularly warm.

Came for a drink on a quiet Saturday afternoon. Dirty, messy pub but it was the landlord and his unfriendly manner which really upset me. He told us to keep control of our dog and I apologised but we left with not so much as a goodbye. Yuk! A beautiful little village and I think the villagers deserve something a little more classy. We were made to feel very unwelcome and my husband commented that there was a strange atmosphere. Why run a pub when you clearly hate being a landlord?!

Excellent value for money. Most main courses are under a tenner and enough to fill you up. We ate here 3 days in a row. Camp site at the pub so handy. Food freshly prepared and tasty. We had the whitebait, garlic mushrooms, pate, nachos starters, and belly pork, pheasant pie, sea bass, fish and chips, scampi, mixed grill and burgers for mains. Desserts good too.

We walked up to this lovely country pub from our mooring nearby. It's a sweet, thatched, unpretentious pub and they serve a great Wadsworth beer. I had lamb shank, which came in a bowl with a LOT of gravy - unusual but the lamb just fell off the bone and was absolutely lovely. The mash was delicious, the veg tasty. My partner had pheasant and port pie off the specials menu. The top was a huge puff pastry but he said it was all very good.

Had a nice time, beers were quite expensive though and not as good as the nearby Seven Stars. staff were welcoming.

Despite it being a busy saturday evening with a lot of people eating in the garden we enjoyed a very good meal from an extensive menu with some great "specials". We will be back

You will not leave here hungry. The food is well cooked and sourced locally and this shows in the taste. Could probably do with a bit of a make over as looks a bit tired, but hard working staff and a rural aspect make it very homely.

15-16 June we stayed at this venue. On arrival we were confronted with a field full of DofE teenagers, who on the whole were just teenagers. However your not told this prior to arrival. Not the kids fault, but if you want a quiet weekend you'll be bang out of luck, they have regular D of E visitors, check before you leave.

Myself and my husband stayed at this campsite, the campsite itself is lovely apart from their dogs using the campsite as a toilet absolutely disgusting one of the dogs we think has got something seriously wrong with it it's got no hair and it's scratching the whole time and also he lets the dogs in the restaurant where it's also begging for food continuously nonstop my husband spoke to the landlord he didn't seem to care but then my husband had a few words with him which he didn't like he soon got his dog out of the restaurant as for the food is not fit for a pig to eat my husband asked for a very rare steak which came out crucified couldn't see the steak with salad which I thought was absolutely ridiculous they advertise on the menu stating the steak is rump but believe you me it's an iron steak and they're charging you for a rump steak I took the safe route and went for scampi cannot go wrong and be very careful when you're buying a pint because he charges whatever he wants we went to pay it £8.50 then again we paid £6 something and then again we went back and it was £7 something but I would never return him and his wife are absolutely disgusting people should not be allowed to run a campsite or the pub

Absolutely brilliant. Pub food fantastic. Lots of it also good good quality. Such a fun place. Chickens in the garden. Parrot in the bar. Campsite so you can stay over.

We stayed at this campsite alongside the pub for two nights.

Terrible food and an indifferent landlord. Shame because the pub is lovely.

Was recommended this place to stay via Facebook. So glad we took the advice. Beautiful setting, the food was lush. Myself and my husband had the pork with crackling. I could've eaten more it was so nice. The facilities for the campsite are compact but clean. The setting is stunning. Waking up to see the chooks running around and the horses in the field. Right next to the Kennet and Avon Canal. We loved it so much that we are returning this weekend along with our bikes so we can explore.

The best thing about the Golden Swan is the food... Absolutely delicious. Large portion sizes and reasonably priced. Just don't go in the snug bar. I walked in and couldn't believe the smell emanating from the parrot's cage and the mess cluttering the bar. The restaurant area has an aroma of dog about it too.

A beautiful little pub in a lovely little village, with a condescending, rude Landlord, if I'd not arranged to meet up with friends for a nights camping he would have been on the receiving end of a few choice words from me, Landlord you're in...

First time visit to this beautiful pub. Lovely sunny day so sat outside to eat. We had the light bites but the plates were full and great tastes.

We stopped here for an evening meal and a few drinks after a day of cruising on the canal. The landlord and landlady were exceptionally friendly with a wide range of beverages and good quality home cooked food. It was well worth the stop and...

super food good host we stopped off at lunch time on our travels with the gypsy caravan and owner polly most enjoyable

Nice village pub. Good beer, fire inside, snow outside. Can't rate food as drinking only. Good campsite.

This place is really fantastic, great food and cozy ambience. The staff is very kind and their Bier is just out of the world! Good money for what you get

I had the lamb Roast OMG it was just what I needed doing the Rough n Tumble. The food was amazing and so much of it. Worth every penny. Great Proper Pub what all pubs should be like

Out for lunch with relatives, who took us to this charming little country pub. The pub is a rare thing...

We visit on Quiz night when they offer you a quiz and plate of buffet food for £2.50. The value...
