The best restaurants serving British food in Swindon South West

Poorly trained staff gave our order waited an hour, no one is aware of a table not having been served, we checked, the order hadn’t been put through. Staff and bar man have no idea what whats going on, would rather chat to each other than look a customer in the eye, wasn’t busy. They are not trained that there’s a table there that’s been in a long time but no food. We were then promised it would be out in 5 mins but still took 15 a total of 1hr 20 mins wait for two sandwiches, no reduction on the bill either just poor training won’t be going back.

Once again Carol shows her skills with this homemade Chicken pie.... well I say chicken, also bacon mushroom and leeks with a puff pastry lid... we both ordered it with veg mash and gravy and on a chilly Autumn evening it absolutely hit the comfort food spot ... a great big hug of a plate...

Britania was nice place before but since 4 months ago quality of food decrease . Hot wings not very well cooked , donner kebab had bones and sometimes not very well roasted , kofte was burned. Please change providers and people will be thankful again Update in January. After I saw a positive review from someone I thought the food become like before but I was very disappointed. I bought donner kebab and taste like cardboard and had small cartilage . Sauces decrease as well in quality. Is a miracle because stomach allow that " food " . Waste of money . Update 2024 now they are also scammers . I tried to buy 2 pizza for 14 £ in Monday deal but they want me to pay for 1 pizza and half price for other pizza. They said offer is not available anymore but on their website and their poster from shop is different . Avoid as much possible

Amazing food, very generous portions! The best chips we ever had! 10 out of the 10!

Started going in here again after saying never again due to rubbish food and sticky tables etc.ordered small amount of food and couple of hot drinks.food came out immediately the only colour on the bacon was on the fat.it was barely warm let alone hot.i took it back and bar maid agreed it didn't look great and said she would ask them to cook from fresh.bacon was brought back almost black as if sod you for complaining we will make sure it's not just cooked but over cooked and inedible.i said to barmaid the kitchen were taking the p#ss and its inedible.manager eventually came back and did a refund (which hours later still hasn't gone into my account)if vindictive kitchen staff cost money by doing this to people's food then they don't deserve a job.so angry I won't eat here again

Shame it never made it to the bottom of the list as the worst restaurant in Swindon, but it was heading there before the owner was sent to prison.

I met my friend for coffee and a pastry/scone/cake. None of these items were gluten free. The only available gluten free item was a small pre packed fruit bar I was extremely disappointed that a company like Waitrose did not provide for people with allergies in the cafe when there is a good range to purchase within the store

Do not eat the Christmas lunch here. We made the mistake of ordering the filled Christmas Yorkshire pudding lunch for our work do at £12 a pop and it was dire. Two slices of thin industrial turkey loaf, a bit of overcooked veg and skin on boiled potatoes which were sold as roast. Yorkshire pud was underdone. We all agreed it was awful. £200 later, staff didn’t care. Don’t waste your money.....

Since it’s refurbishment this cafe has become a favourite of mine. Whether it’s simply a cappuccino and scone or a fish and chip dinner, to date I cannot fault either the friendliness of the staff, the speed of service or the quality of the food. It’s good to see the tables being cleared and antibacterial spray being used along with any mess on the floor being cleaned and cleared immediately after the table has been vacated, something sadly lacking in many other cafés nowadays. There’s lots of choices whether you’re looking for a snack or a meal, give it a go, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

AWFULL worst fish and chips fish dry like eating cardboard chips nasty. We had Chinese from there as well and that was terrible to will never go there again needs new chefs and ownership to

Its a lovely looking pub which we have frequented many times in the past (the standard of food has been variable over the years), we were with a party of 4 for evening dinner. Three of the meals were good value for money, the chips were really nice, however one of the meals was described as "Crispy tortilla chips loaded with nacho cheese sauce, guacamole, salsa, sour cream-style sauce, jalapeños and chopped chives.(£8.99)".And at an additional add on "Vegetable Chilli (£4.50)". What came was; a bowl of slop with no vegetable chilli, no real cheese, it was sent back asking for the £4.50 worth of vegetable chilli that wasn't on the plate. On return the dish looked exactly the same and I asked where is the vegetable chilli? the response was; those little brown bits there! (total of about 5 black beans, no vegetables at all!). so consequently it went back again and I was refunded for the meal, leaving me with no dinner as my friends had now finished theirs. (I ate a few chips they had left). I would recommend this food option be removed from the menu or at least provide the meal as described on the menu.

As someone with a disability, I did not like that I had to get a key to access the disabled toilets. Furthermore, the key they give you is massive and very noticeable. It made me feel uncomfortable. Do better

Please don't attempt to book at this restaurant or hotel, this was closed a couple of years ago and has recently been the subject of a large fire. Right next door to a retail park, guess what will happen next?
