The Green Man in Vale of White Horse

We had many recommendations for this pub so planned to visit for dinner as we passed through. Luckily we called a head as we found out they do not do food in the evening. We decided to visit for a drink. The poor pub seems to be caught in a time warp, it feels like a poor mans social club, all lights turned on full and the beer was not great. A real disappointment

I haven't been here before but George goes regularly. I was so impressed with the service and the food. Excellent value for money. Home cooked food which was cooked by Ashley who also waited on us too. I will definitely be going again. Well done to you all!!!

Popped in yesterday on way home from holiday in Wales and boy are we glad we did. Extensive menu of home cooked food. I had liver and onions followed by chocolate cheesecake both were fabulous. Cost is £5.95 for 2 courses at lunch time Sunday lunch is £6.95 with free dessert. Can't go wrong!

Went in for a lunch (2 courses for £5.95) and found this gem of a pub. THe food was fabulous - liver onions and mash in onion gravy with jam roly poly and custard for pudding.Large portion and home cooked (non microwave) all at an incredible price.The pub is a gem with sensible options such as a dog free room when eating if required - or you can bring in the dog and eat in the bar.Will certainly be back.

First but not the last visit. Had the 2 course meal option which was excellent. Will definitely be back

Reviews are accurate. Great food despite a small wait but we were 6 people and the food came out piping hot and freshly cooked. Huge portions and yet amazed at how small the bill. Would highly recommend especially when on boat trip. Maybe 3 minute walk from Bridge 40.

Our family of 6 plus two dogs had lunch at this pub today. You could not wish for a more welcoming group of people than the employees working there. Service had a local feel and was superb as was the food. The pricing was surprisingly low and we were worried it may have been too low in fact - but we need not have worried as the food was sensational! We have been talking about the experience all day. Great food, fantastic and friendly employees in an accessible location to the canal ( we are on a boating holiday)

Was out with my husband having a walk up the canal. Called into The Green Man for a drink. The pub interior is very traditional. The lady behind the bar was very friendly. Toilets very clean.

Popped in for Sunday Lunch with the family and had a wonderful experience The meals were delicious a great choice of traditional roast lunches and freshly made puddings The meals were great value for a small cost We were all served together and the service was friendly making a great atmosphere A busy little pub with a fantastic atmosphere Will certainly go back again Thank you all for a lovely relaxing Sunday

We'd passed this pub a number of times and noticed the "2 courses for £5.95" sign outside. To be honest, we weren't expecting much for the price but we were pleasantly surprised. We were greeted warmly on arrival and chose to sit in the bar area for our meal. The two courses are either a soup starter or a dessert from a small dessert menu, plus a main of your choice. My husband had leek soup, served with crusty bread, followed by traditional cottage pie which he chose to have with chips. I chose the cheese and potato pie served with veg (cabbage, broccoli, peas and carrots!) and vanilla cheesecake and ice cream for afters. Well cooked and very generous, perhaps too generous, servings. All in all, a pleasant meal and exceptional value for money.

Dropped in passing by a very locals pub ordered a beer omg the colour was like lucozade tasted worse the wine in a small bottle was vile would not return

Booked table for the first time service abismal couldnt get to order foodo ly one serving at the bar. Room that we where seated in was shocking not at all inviting. Not able to comment on food because we walked out. Never again will we frequent.

Came back to the Green Man with friends. We have visited before but there are now new people in charge. The quality and quantity of the food has not diminished and they have maintained the high standard of the pub. Food was hot and very tasty. We use the specials board as you also get a pudding. Great value yet again. My only worry was the first pint we had-boondoggle which was either off or not to our taste. We will go again as it is a very friendly pub and a good atmosphere

Fully recommend the food at this pub. My only critism is that the meals are huge! You can choose to eat in the bar or dining room. Friendly pub and the locals make you very welcome!I am vegetarian and the choice of food is excellent. I have eaten there twice in the last week. Fully recommend the Cauliflower Roulade!Keep up the good work Donna & Pat Harley!

As I was aware that the Green Man had recently changed hands and Patrick and Donna had become patrons I decided to give the place a try for the first time.

My wife and I and couple of our friends went along to this pub for a midday meal. We went based on a recommendation my wife had. They do specials on a lunch time, two course, either soup and main or main and sweet. For £5.95 I was very impressed with the meal. It was by no means small. I had liver and onions. Absolutely delicious My wife had ham egg and chips. First time we have been, certainly won’t be the last. All are locally sourced. Pleas give this pub a try. You will not be disappointed.

First ever visit to the Green Man will definitely be going back,excellent food and beer excellent staff and service what more can you ask for,a great village pub👍

Went with friends yesterday and again a fabulous meal.Choice of Lamb shank, beef, chicken or pork. Plenty of fresh vegetables new potatoes and roast,nice selection of desserts too. The pub is very old and quirky and the meals are fabulous and really hot.Be even better if the staff smiled that's my only gripe.Cards are not accepted here so cash only. Well worth a visit.

Stopped for family lunch after tending to our donkeys half a mile up the road. The Green Man is the definition of the word " Unpretentious". Decor is plain, tables are stark, but the welcome is very genuine from smiling bar staff.

The Green Man is the epitome of 'off the beaten track'- but find it and you find a gem. A small beer garden and a big car park. A three room hostelry with big bar, small lounge and smaller dining room- although meals can be taken anywhere on the pub- with homely food such as crisp belly draft as separate to roast pork- also on the menu- homemade soups such as garlic and chilli- wipes out your sinusitis in one steamy bowl- the signature Black Country faggots- and hot sandwiches of pork and stuffing or turkey and gravy. Marston's, Banks's and Ringwood beers. Carling and Thatcher's served ice cold.

if you want good basic food this is the place. It was very busy with locals, we got the last table, which says it all

This country pub offers good locally supplied food at a reasonable price, the staff are friendly and the food is freshly cooked.

Went today had an amazing shank of lamb roast with all fresh vegetables priced at £7.95

Like the Selby Strollers (August review) we were on a canal holiday when we stopped at Swindon on Monday evening, and - after looking at the competition - decided to eat at the Green Man.

This pub should easily attract four or five stars for the quality of the food. We were a party on a boat holiday on the canal and had moored a short distance from the pub. Seven of us enjoyed a nice meal with drinks. I polled up to the bar and presented my credit card to pay the bill. Imagine my shock when I was told they only accept cash. As another reviewer has reported, there is a cash machine in the bar which charges for withdrawals. Very handy!

Reservamos. . Menú web. como parecía bueno. . . . Me encanta pubs locales. No cadenas. . . Mi carnicería local. es un proveedor. . . . Nos aseguró por teléfono que era un asador. . . Pero cuando llegamos. . No asador. Nuestra mesa era. detrás de una puerta. . . Que no aceptaban tarjetas. Si queríamos utilizar una instalación de efectivo el cargo 1. 85. Fue como si nos habíamos ido atrás en el tiempo. . .

Nos han mudado al pueblo de Swindon y encontramos el hombre verde cerca de Swindon Smestow cerraduras junto al arroyo en la esquina de Church Road. Si estás buscando un pub tradicional, con gente amable y personal, este es el lugar para ti. Es un paso atrás en el tiempo antes de pubs comenzó a pintar los interiores en monocromo gris y blanco para atraer el conjunto gastro.

Mi cuñada me recomendó este sitio, así que reservamos para cenar el sábado por la noche. Es un encantador pub si no minúscula, con personal increíblemente amable y al cliente. Mi esposa y yo pedimos de la especiales, 2 campos por £6. 50, una ganga! Ambos tuvimos el faggots, para la que ganó, y eran de un carnicerías locales. Eran increíbles! Tuve que seguir una esponja jarabe con flan y roly poly mi escriba el arroz casero, completo con piel y unas mermelada. Comida maravillosa de un pub antiguo encantador.

Excellent thick cut ham cob and a warming hot chocolate on our winter walk through Swindon. Dogs welcome and friendly landlord!

Este un fantástico pub con comida fantástica a un precio estupendo. Es muy viejo y el comedor era como estar en la biblioteca, ya que había muchos libros interesantes que adornan la habitación. Los techos estaban cubiertos de pequeñas jarras de agua y alrededor de las paredes paquetes antiguos para whiskies - muy interesante. Éramos 6 de nosotros en nuestro grupo y teníamos 3 filetes de hueso t, 1 gambas y dos si nuestro grupo tenía la cazuela de ternera del menú especiales. Cuando la comida llegó todos estábamos impresionados por el tamaño de las raciones. La cazuela eran fantásticas en sólo 6 libras. 49 cada uno y t en los huesos a £15. La carne estaba cocinada a la perfección y ensalada de patatas y en incluido leadt 5 - 6 aros de cebolla. La comida era perfecta y el chef era el que servía la comida para nosotros. Dos de nuestro grupo los budines que estaban incluidos en la oferta especial - dijeron que estaban deliciosos. La cerveza era excelente, así como los refrescos. Este es lugar donde volveremos. Su ubicación cerca del canal lo hace perfecto para el verano paseos sin embargo es perfecto todo el año. El personal era extremadamente atento sin ser insoportables. Y tan amable. Lo recomiendo el Green Man Inn. Bien hecho a todo su personal, particularmente el chef, hizo un trabajo realmente bueno.

Visitamos el hombre verde para un almuerzo con nuestros nietos, después de una mañana en un parque de aventuras. El ambiente era agradable, el personal es servicial y la comida muy buena y a un precio razonable. Sin duda, volveremos pronto.

Después de pasar el verano recorriendo los canales, nos han decepcionado regularmente comidas de pub. No aquí, este lugar es una auténtica joya. Hay una buena selección de abundantes opciones en el menú con un estupendo 2-course ofrecen platos que es fantástica relación calidad-precio (yo tuve estofado con carne y verduras frescas cheesecake de postre) Mi marido tenía el filete de Añojo; no esperes mucho por £13,95 pero me pareció suculentos y suaves con una preciosa variedad de lados y un peppercorn sauce sin coste adicional. Si quieres una buena cocina casera con ninguna Habits presentación o los precios, este es el lugar para ti.

A dinner after a long day on the Staffs and Worcs Canal. Our guide book and a fisherman at our mooring recommended the Green Man. A pint of Ringwood's "Boondoggle" (ok, three) was delicious but the steak and kidney pudding was exceptional. I'm told the liver and onions was great too. A very friendly pub with real home cooked food.

Excellent food excellent service great price great staff all fresh veg freshly cooked what more could you want.

Went today with friends for lunch.Couldnt believe they do 2 courses for £4.99 and also evenings for £5.99.How they do it for the price i really dont know.There is a choice of about 6 main courses and desserts.I had the liver and onions with new potatoes and 3 veg which was really very tasty.I then had apple pie and custard.Only let down being the custard which was very runny and tasteless.The cheescake my friends said was delicious! The pubs decor is not the best, but its a good friendly pub in a nice area and close to home so even better.Certainly worth a try.

I was so surprised by The Green Man, We visited here while on a canal trip as a family party of ten, I would not passed this pub by as it didn't entice me, but the rest had already walked in.We were shown into a small room full of old books which entertained us while waiting for our meals. There was a specials board which were all home cooked in small batches and came with a starter or desert for £4.95! The food was excellent, we had such things as Chicken Jalfrezi and roast beef which were good sized portions and very tasty. The 2 course meal for 10 with drinks cost £67, there are very few places you could get it that cheap, can I give it 6 out of 5 for value please?Please go here if you are in the area, especially if you are on the canal near Swindon

Real good homecooked pub fayre. You cannot do 3 courses. Too much food. Dirt cheap. Bang on. Lunchtime two courses €4.75. Fresh veg. Not microwaved pish

Went for a Sunny Sunday walk with my wife, decided to call in at the Green Man pub Swindon for Lunch and i can honestly say it was one of the best Lunches my wife and myself have had in a very long time, a great selection of locally fresh meats and poultry on the menu to choose from with all fresh vegetables, the lunch we decided on was roast beef, it tasted with really nice and a very good size, "Very impressed" i can also recommend the the ale again very nice. We enjoyed the Lunch, the pub, and the staff were very friendly and polite too. GREAT! So good before leaving we booked again for next Sunday. Thank you for a lovely time and look forward to seeing you soon Alan. Stourbridge.

The Green Man is one of the few remaining traditional English country pubs. It provides exactly what it advertises " Fine Ales & Home Cooked Food".It does get very busy now as it is the last of the original three pubs remaining in the village. There is a reason for this; it's well run! The staff are always friendly and during cold weather there is usually a welcoming open fire.The food truly is " Home Cooked" fresh every day, not the pre cooked stuff prepared off site and heated up on the premises like you get in many chain pubs. The portions are always more than generous and even if you just have a sandwich ( they are proper ones on thick fresh crusty bread) they will satisfy the healthiest of appetites like mine.So if you just want a drink in a traditional pub, lunch, or a proper home cooked meal, this is the place to go ( but hopefully not too many of you as I want to be able to get a seat!).

Since moving to Wombourne in 2010 we've used this pub a number of times and love it. It's the kind of place we often say we should use more (but we are a bit sad and don't get out much hahahaha). This is a pub we always like to go to with visitors and everyone comments on the old fashioned charm of the place, down to earth, friendly atmosphere and lovely food and drinks, all at very reasonable prices. From our house we can take a very pleasant walk down the canal which leads us to the Green Man, which although is a bit further from home than other pubs, is always worth the extra distance.The running of the place is professional without the need to dotting the i's and crossing the t's by "job's worth" staff. Everything is very clean and comfortable without the nonsense of a lot of modern, chain pubs. It is clear that all food is prepared from scratch, no ready made meals that are warmed up to order.It's all too often the case in more rural areas that a pub can appear traditional and charming from the outside then inside, it's a modern, soulless "plastic" pub, but not here.Highly recommended, in fact, as I type this we are planning a visit this afternoon.Paul and Chris (Wombourne)

Stopped off here for a Sunday Lunch while on a Canal boat holiday. Wiated for a table which was fine as we had not booked and they were busy. Went straght to mains, most of our party of 7 went for Roast dinners, when they arrived it was a bit surprising, I had Pork and received 2 small half slices of pork hidden under a yorkshire pudding and on top of a rather large dollop of mash, a seperate very large plate of 4 different veggies turned up for us to share unfortunatley only warm. we tucked in anyway as we were starving, but when the staff finally came back to ask us how our meal was and we said it was not hot enough he laughed nervously! That didn't go down well as you can imagine. The roast was £7 each so i guess you can't expect much meat on your plate for that?

A really warm, friendly atmosphere, fantastic beer (doon goggle one of the nicest draught beers I have had recently) and right next door to a canal We had just eaten our sandwiches, so did not sample the food, although the menu was remarkably good value and looked good, with generous portions. . Offering tea and coffee too, with really nicely presented tray - for £1.50. Right by a canal and in an unspoilt part of the UK. Would highly recommend, if onlyto show that there are still family run establishments that provide a local service and are friendly to passing trade. Owners went out of their way to help with walking routes and dogs welcome (except in the dog-free bar). Why are there not more pubs like this - just thought I should spread the word on this one.
