The best restaurants in Swindon South West

Food was amazing , the service was fantastic and can't thank hayley and michelle enough , nothing was too much trouble , would recommend to any one , perfect afternoon thankyou

There are different restaurants here.

Can not thank the staff enough they have gone over and beyond in the service we received, my husband is Celiac and it's lovely to be able to eat out without the worry of my husband being poorly thank you guys so much.

Andreea was an amazing and attentive waitress! Nothing was to much trouble and she was fab with the kids! Food was great! Would deffo recommend!

Fun quiz night in aid of wilts air ambulance 🚁 Friendly team and lovely beer 🍻 would definitely recommend for a fun evening out.

Not a great experience to be honest. Had to wait 5-10 minutes before anyone noticed we were there and needed seating. Once seated it took another 10 minutes before we received a drinks order. Food came out in reasonable time but mine and my partners steaks were over cooked. Asked for them mid rare and both come more mid well. My partners bearnaise sauce has split so looked like an oil slick and my peppercorn was completely bland. Frozen prawn that was on top of my partners steak tasted just that, frozen and my ribeye was impossibly tough. Usually we would have tried to rectify the problems then and there but no one came to see how the food was so we ate what we could and left. Really disappointed as we love a good steak but guess that’s another one off the list in Swindon. No where left to eat in this town.

We've eaten here many times over the years but it sadly went downhill so we haven't visited in some time. Noticed that it had been taken over earlier this year and reviews looked great so we went on Saturday for my husband's birthday. So glad we did! The refurb is lovely - seating is much more spaced out than previously. Team were all super friendly and efficient - lots of smiles and conversation if you wanted it - just how we like it. It was a very busy Saturday night and they looked full. Service as the evening went on slowed up a little but not drastically so and it didn't detract from our lovely evening. Food was exceptional! We had the crispy olives to nibble on, the trout for mains (please keep this on the menu it was amazing) and vanilla creme choux pastry and roast pineapple for dessert. It was all stunning! We only live a few miles away and are so glad to have a top notch eatery on our doorstep! Already re-booked to go with family for lunch in a few weeks time so fingers crossed we'll have the same wonderful experience! Top marks to the chef!!

Very quick service from incredibly friendly staff. The brown sugar cinnamon latte was absolutely divine! The mozzarella and pesto panini was very good. The cafe was clean and welcoming.

Very strange menu nothing really to my liking and nothing for children either so it’s not somewhere to go with family…… ok ale but the menu needs to be bigger & nothing for a vegetarian my wife has recently become vegetarian for health reasons so we couldn’t eat here & don’t think we will return

Came to the spotted cow today for lunch with some friends. Been here a few times before, the service was good as usual. It was sad to see staff so stressed though. The pub was clearly understaffed. The girl on the bar was serving everyone, there was another running around trying to clear tables and bring food out the kitchen. Despite being so busy they were still able to show us a smile and treat us with respect. There was a bit of a wait on food but I heard that there was only 1 chef on so that was understandable. I’m not sure who is doing the rotas but only 1 chef during half term? Seems very unfair and the poor chef must have been so stressed. The food was delicious and hot though so they’re doing a great job. I saw another chef come in after our food arrived and I overheard that he has come in early to help but wasn’t able to ?clock on for it. I saw a customer (I think it was a relative of a member of staff) started clearing tables to help as the poor staff just couldn’t keep up with the amount of work. Seems a shame to see such brilliant staff working under such poor conditions. I wouldn’t be surprised if they leave, which would be such a shame as they all seemed so lovely and made the experience a good one!

Our food was spot on tonight kids loved it. Lucy was awesome as well she really looked after us and made sure the kids were happy which makes our whole experience better.

What a fantastic place to dine in, great staff polite and respectful, superb hospitality and customer service topped up with absolutely amazing food, very tasty and generous portions. We were 2 families - 10 of us, 4 adults, 2 teenagers and 4 children 5-11 dining at Biplob, every single one of us loved the food and experience. It was heaving on the 1st night we visited. Following our excellent experience, we dined at Biplob a further 2 nights and the experience was outstanding. The owner was so attentive, humble, kind and approachable, what a great guy no wonder he’s been successfully running this amazing restaurant for over 30 years. May you continue to prosper for many more decades to come. Biplob is a restaurant one can visit and dine from far a field and we for sure will happily do another 120miles to dine at Bibplob, thank you so much for our lovely experience.

Came here for birthday meal and told table we booked wasn’t available. So rude & 0 apology just the most awful service. Won’t be returning.

Great food and drink. Barman Calvin very good, food service from a lovely young lady called Millie. I'll be back. Would recommend this place to everyone.

Great place to eat. Even our little one enjoys it here. Shame it's closed down. As the service and food was always great here.
