The best restaurants serving British food in Highworth Swindon South West

Food was very average and the owner was very obnoxious. I would not recommend this place at all. I preferred the old owners when I last visited two years ago.

To be honest my partner was lucky enough to win a voucher at a charity event. We headed out to the Highworth for dinner whilst the restaurant was in full Christmas office party mode. There was just the two of us. I have to say the welcome, the service and the food was absolutely outstanding. Some of the waiting staff were quite young, they were a credit to the Hotel. We have returned since (the Sunday roast is another outstanding meal), and will continue to use this venue. 5*****s all the way! (NB The Highworth Hotel is on the No7 bus route from Swindon and so no driving or Taxis required, we were able to enjoy a glass of wine or two.)

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.
