The best restaurants serving British food in Swindon South West

We went to The Carpenters Arms for a Sunday roast dinner to celebrate Mother’s Day. The food was lovely. They were really busy but the service was excellent, the waiting staff were friendly and cheerful. The roast was the best we have had at a pub.The portions were a good size with plenty of veg. All really good. We will definitely return soon.

This is the best cocktail bar in town. The guys here are the top notch crew. I come down here as I live quite close. The pressure is on due to the time of year. The manager, obviously stressed, but still gave me eye contact and smiled. 5☆. I'm an elderly woman enjoying a glass of wine but I don't feel awkward or that I shouldn't be here. I've worked in night clubs and bars for 52 years and yes I did lie about my age but these guys have it sorted. I cannot recommend them enough.

Was led to believe this place had been done up I am not sure how can it be in worse shape than it was previously not good something is just off with this place would not recommend it to anyone very strange.

We ate in the magnificently decorated bar and my choice of food, the venison steak was pretty good. The service staff were very pleasant and the bar had a choice of excellent cask ale. It is probably not the cheapest place around, but we were pleased to have found it and had a very nice meal.

Nice ambience exceptional roast everything from the meat , the gravy , spuds cabbage were extremely tasty it was heavenly. Its not the cheapest but the old saying you get what you pay for is certainly true.

Visited the Swindon Hub cafe for a craft day. Safe, friendly and helpful new café in Swindon. Local crafts and info point. NIce new place in Swindon to escape, on the Parade.

Chicken Caesar salad was faultless! Amazing for the price, quality and size of the portion. Would highly recommend…..

Lovely country pub. Staff are amazing and very welcoming. Arrived in mid afternoon. Lots of parking and plenty of outside seating with dogs welcome. Inside the pub is very comfortable and welcoming with beams on the ceiling. A large feature fire place. One of those places you could settle in easily. We ordered food. My friend ordered a ploughman's and I had the gammon and chips. This came very quickly and was so appetising I'd forgotten to take a picture before tucking in. It was cooked to perfection! I'd definitely go again if in the area. A lovely quiet beer garden with birds tweeting and the odd sound of horses trotting past on the road... Idyllic. Really recommended.

Had to wait over an hour for food and it wasn’t great :(

A proper, genuine pub. No gloss or glitz. Good range of beers and ciders at great prices. All below £5. For me, the only reason to visit Swindon.

It’s a lot quieter now, fewer people, than when we were last here. Even a booth was available! £20 for 2 breakfasts and 2 filter coffees

Very nice but could of been a bit warmer.

Was staying here for a few days and all I can say is amazing rooms, and amazing food, so many options for the b and b breakfast not just your normal cooked or pastries and the pub is amazing friendly staff and good atmosphere, Lots of parking and good access routs to m4 and all of Swindon, 1000% recommend!

We had one gluten free and one dairy free in our group, and were pleasantly surprised by the variety of options for those with dietary requirements. The servers were lovely. They were friendly, professional and helpful and, despite a full pub, very efficient. The food was fantastic. I had steak and chips, followed by sticky toffee pudding and ice cream. It was delicious. It’s not our first visit to the The Plough on the Hill, and it won’t be our last. Good food and good service.

This is a very nice pub but called in for drinks at 3pm on a Saturday. Struggled to find a table as minority occupied or mostly reserved but empty . Two hours later the majority of the reserved tables were still unoccupied . Poor management in my view.
