Great atmostphere as per most wetherspoons cheap and cheerful. We went upstairs and the barstaff were very friendly and responsive to attention to detail when preparing drinks by adding lemons and limes to certain drinks. We ordered curries and they were very tasty the food was presented really nice. I would say if your in the area and you want a drink and average pub meal with no frills this is up your street.

This wetherspoons has the rudest most unhelpful managers I have ever seen. I came in for a meal with my daughter and arrived to a dirty table. When I went to order a drink at the bar a lovely barmaid greeted us with a smile, however she was the only staff in sight. Our drinks were good and cheap. We were there a good few hours and this poor barmaid had zero help for the entire bottom floor. Every now and then we saw a blond girl with a pony tail who was clearly a manager step behind the bar and do nothing to help. We were served by this manager once and she was rude and clearly didn't care for customers. Sir Daniel arms needs to rethink their management!!

We called in mid morning, midweek in November when the pub was pretty quiet. Service was friendly and helpful, and the breakfasts ok, though they were unable to offer fried eggs that morning. After shopping we returned that afternoon for drinks before the train home, by which time the place was quite busy. I had a decent pint of cider. I thought the pub was ok, though not one of my favourite Wetherspoons, my partner did add that the ladies toilets were very unclean.

Went into this pub Thursday lunch time, my husband & I. We’ve been in there dozens of times for lunch, it’s a Weatherspoon pub so not really fine dining, but it is usually ok. It wasn’t at all busy, in fact upstairs there were only about 8 or ten people and not all of them were eating. We got a drink and sat and looked at menu and decided what to gave . Ordered the meals along with the drinks that come with the meals. Ordered a ham & cheese panini and a medium to well cooked sirloin steak & chips . When the meals came the panini was fine but the steak was rare so it was returned . The girl behind the bar said they would cook another steak ! Presumably it was another steak as it took a long time to get replaced. A young chap brought it back to the table, no apology, nothing ! This time it was cooked medium to well but the meat was so bad my husband had a job to cut it with the steak knife let alone chew it ! Nobody came to check if it was ok ! So after having to saw through with great difficulty only about half was edible, the other half was either chewed and spat out or just not able to cut. No one still had come to even take the plates away so I wrote a note to the bar staff about the steak and their service and took it up to the bar and left it ! That got their attention then, both the bar staff were stood reading it as we left. Surely if the food isn’t cooked as requested and it is replaced , that replacement should come with an apology and a little later someone should come to check if that replacement is suitable ????. Even in a Weatherspoon, ?

Well what an interesting but annoying lunch we had as a family. They gave my daughter chips instead of soup.they then forgot a few things that was on the menu example no salad in a burger bun or sauce. Then because their where alot of mistakes then offered us all a mini pudding .that was funny as they messed that up and so one person had to wait and eat after everyone eleas finished just like we had to with are mains.when it finally arrived it had to be sent back as had four hairs in and they know it was not mine or my family's as we had a different colour lol.oww what a interesting meal it was I said to them please I don't want another one and walked out.

Arrived at the establishment, picked a table to sit at. Walked over to the bar to be abruptly told everything is ordered on the app. Download the app and order the food using the table number stuck to the table. 25 mins pass and still no drinks or food. We politely ask about our drinks as we thought they’d be out before food is cooked, only to be told no drinks order is on the bar. I show my order that is emailed to my phone only for the staff to say “oh you’re the ones who’d ordered food!” Apparently it was my fault I put the wrong table number even thought that was the one on the table!! Food arrived warm and stale looking. No apologies were made for THEIR mistake. GF almost jumped over the table in anger.Very poor communication, attitude and customer service. Will not be coming back again.

Wandered in today as we were at the bottom end of Swindon and it looked nice and clean. Download the app. no intrusive registration in the app just order food and drinks, table number, pay and it is delivered. meal deals most days. Fish and chips worth trying as fish is just right with a light batter. Chicken strips nice with excellent dip.nice friendly staff. Only downside is it is so busy clear your own table as walking in and grabbing a table does not give them time to clean it.. Two excellent meals and two drinks for £16.63? Really nice staff. Do not really mind clearing my table. Was not dirty just untidy. You will see it is busy so expect a queue. Unless you get the app :) Recommended.definitely.

Visited this pub today with my wife and daughter with our two dogs. Sat down in a quite area outside, one of the female bar staff came out and rudely told my wife, “No dogs are allowed here” she shouted this so loud a group of gentlemen ever heard! I was inside and already ordered drinks, when I asked for a refund the bar staff told me I could sit on the street and have my drinks, I refused and requested a refund. The attitude and manners of the staff were shocking and certainly needs addressing. Might I suggest a sign clearly stating NO DOGS. Regards.

They seem to have zero tolerance and speak to customers accordingly...but I'm afraid this has moved on to staff talking to every customer in the same manner ...very rude .. no ..please...no thank you ...very abrupt.

Although the pub was busy, We managed to find a table upstairs nearby the bar (122) . After a few minutes as there were a few people ahead of me I was served by the young lad with circular glasses who was polite and courteous. We ordered a pint of Bud Light and Lager Shandy to drink , Risotto with pulled chicken as an extra also Fish & Chips with Garden peas, this didn’t take too long to arrive at our table.

Once I found a clean table I ordered drinks and food on the Wetherspoon App. A short delay saw my drinks come which were followed swiftly by my food. My food was tasty, quick and extremely good value. So aside from the dirty tables which were off putting I was very satisfied with my visit.

But 10 minutes later I had to go back to the bar and see what is going on with my sauce and then it arrives back out just as cold as before so I sent it back with my now cold chicken! And was told that I would get new chicken wings! But again the hot sauce came out cold so that was 3 times they couldn’t get my order correct so I had to get my money back because my wife and 2 kids had finished their food

Having booked for a business retirement (40-50 people) very disappointed with service and organisation. In particular the team leader dealing with the top bar, right from the offset had an attitude (even though a vast amount of money was spent on drinks and food) customer service from this team leader was abrupt and aggressive. As a corporate booking this is the second time service has been under par - will not be using for future functions - do not recommend. Concerns raised with bar manager who will hopefully take on the constructive criticism so other patrons do not experience.

Went for lunch with partner and sister in law and can only describe this place as grotty. Tables not properly wiped down - got mushy peas from the last customer stuck on my sleeve. Wanted to order an all day breakfast but its not on...

Dropped in at Sir Dans but the beer selection was not outstanding. We sampled a couple and left. Moving on.

Called for the curry night, food served quickly and to a decent standard. Only groan is that a couple of the ales were off and they'd run out of first choice of meal.

On our trip round the town next stop Sir Dan. A couple of interesting beers to try. Quite good but not brilliant. And usually only three guests.

A nice meal had that was quickly served. Staff were pleasant. Wish we’d eaten upstairs where most of the eaters were rather than downstairs where it was mainly drinkers.

My husband and I have just had a pleasant evening at the pub. Food was nice, staff was friendly and it was nice a quiet with no loud music for a Thursday evening.

Spent a few days in Swindon recently and visited the 'Sir Dan' as it's known locally. Nice and clean, ladies the toilets were pretty decent even on a very busy Friday night. Food as you'd expect from a weatherspoons cheap and cheerful. Nice atmosphere would go again if I'm ever back in Swindon.

Continuing our real ale sampling we tied Sir Dan. Not the choice of the other Wetherspoon but one or two nice beers.

Just finished my Ultimate burger and coffee. Cannot fault it for the price. Burger was served 10 mins with a tasty side of onion rings and chips, all hot, burger was cooked well and the salad and sauce portion was balanced. Happy bar staff as well. Great value.

Been in here a few times for Sunday lunch or a cooked breakfast. Generally a good experience with helpful staff and great food. However the quality of both can slip from time to time.

This is a great pub, good beer and typical spoons food but really the toilets are just disgusting. Both the ladies and gents toilets are well below par. I don't want to go into detail but Wetherspoons are so say proud of their loos - here not so much

I will be honest we were a bit sceptical when we went in but the Sir Daniel Arms proved to be a pleasant surprise. Its a big restaurant on two floors and the food was seriously awesome. Well presented, generous helpings and very tasty. Bar staff and waitresses were great.

Dropped in to try the beers. Six on and we tried three. Better than the last pub but not great for ales.

The Sir Daniel Arms was always our favourite place to eat and is always reliable for affordable but tasty food. Until now! My boyfriend, his mother and i went to Sir Dans on a Saturday lunch time last week and were far from impressed. The meal started off well we got our drinks which were cheap: 2 kopperburgs for £5. We ordered our food at the same time as our drinks but ended up getting it nearly an hour (55 minutes) later, we were waiting so long a couple had time to order their food eat it and leave in the time we were still waiting for ours. After 45 minutes of waiting my boyfriends mother stopped our waitress and politely asked where our food was and the waitress quickly replied rudely "its in the lift now". Now this lift must have been very slow because our food didnt get to us for a further 10 minutes. When we finally got our food there was no apology from the rude waitress just an excuse of how annoying and slow the kitchen was that day. I had ordered the fish and chips, which was disgusting; the fish inside the batter was dry and had no flavour, the batter was dripping with grease and the chips were stone cold. My boyfriend had ordered the tuna and cheese melt and his chips were also cold and his tuna melt had barely any tuna and was cold in the middle, he said it tasted like it had been microwaved. I had also visited a week before with my family for steak night in a party of 7. All of out steaks were cooked wrong and items like sauces and even a meal was missing from our table, but when we told the bar they asked to see the receipt thinking we were lying and gave no apology when if was proven we weren't lying. Overall very disappointed and let down by this establishment recently and will rethink (and tell my friends and family to do so) before going there again.

Great food and great value. There is a downstairs and upstairs area. I like the upstairs area. Lovely to go with family or friends for something to eat and a catch up.

Went with my husband and daughter, we wanted a sharer but they didn't have all the items for it so we had a selection of dishes, the young waiter who brought the food to us seemed to be very nice, but then he came back in less than 5 minutes to see if everything was ok with the food, we had hardly any time to try it, then we hadn't eaten all the food and he came back and took the plate we had finished with, then he came back and started to take away the wine glasses we hadn't even used as my husband an daughter were finishing drinks they had before the food came and we had a nearly full bottle of wine on the table, we like efficiency but this was ridiculous, it has put us off going again, it made us feel as he wanted us out of there.

Dopo anni di viaggi in tutto il mondo, molti dei quali con i nostri figli, è la prima volta che ci capita di essere buttati fuori da un ristorante perchè dopo le 21 i bambini non sono ammessi. Nessun problema se fossimo stati avvertiti quando siamo entrati nel locale alle 20,40. Ci hanno fatto accomodare nel locale semivuoto. Eravamo davanti al bancone e nessuno ci ha detto nulla mentre stavamo scegliendo dal menù. In modo scortese e brusco una cameriera, alle 21 ci ha invitato ad uscire senza darci la possibilità di consumare un pasto veloce (sarebbe bastato un hamburger....). Mai successo nulla di simile! Nessun commento sul cibo che, purtroppo, non ci hanno permesso di assaggiare! DA EVITARE!
