The best restaurants serving British food in Highworth Swindon South West

We visited for afternoon tea as a birthday treat. From the moment we arrived we were looked after. The staff were very friendly and kept checking if we needed anything. The hotel itself was lovely, clean and had a good atmosphere. The afternoon tea was delicious!! Everything was fresh and a lovely selection of cakes. We would recommend to anyone and we will definitely visit again!

The Five Alls is a lovely country pub, set within a small traditional Cotswold village, It has been very nicely modernised, we had a warm welcome from Rob the manager who took us to our accommodation which was a purpose built very spacious room in the grounds of the pub, Although we had booked bed and breakfast we chose to eat in their restaurant for all three nights we stayed, we were not disappointed. Breakfast was delicious and served in a stylish room, The pub and accommodation were very clean. We found all of the staff to be very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I would not hesitate in recommending The Five Alls,

DO NOT GO HERE!!! There is the RUDEST landlord and bar staff I’ve ever come across. He told us off for coming in with mud on our boots - with no smiles or charm but more like being ticked off by a teacher, we apologised and duly all took our shoes off and were told to leave them outside (in the snow) - he then rolled his eyes when we asked for a wine list, turned his head away when we were ordering and failed to bring us the drinks we ordered. He then gave up on us entirely sending in his barman/waiter who was equally unsmiling, miserable and outright rude. We were a group of 5 adults and 2 teenagers there for a cosy lunch after a long walk. Sadly we were made to feel so horribly unwelcome in this cold and unfriendly pub that I wouldn’t recommend my worst enemy this miserable pub. Only saving grace was the sweetest young man from the kitchen who bought us out our lunch - but the rest of you - truly some of the most unpleasant, rude and cold people I’ve had the misfortune to come across. Final insult was after paying our hefty bill, the rude landlord sat in the middle of his soulless and empty pub and as we trooped out passed him he didn’t so much as look up or thank us or say goodbye - never been anywhere as awful. Do NOT go here.
