Title: Good pub food in swindon area Post by: Farmboy on Monday, January 21, 2013, 16:29:58 Hi everyone, longtime reader first time post starter.
Can anyone recommend a nice pub that does good food in the swindon area, I don't mind driving a bit further for the right place. Please don't recommend 'The Three Crowns' in Brinkworth (been there to many times over the years). Looking forward to trying out the suggestions, cheers for your time.

More of a restaurant than a pub but never had a bad meal yet.

If you want a bit of a drive the greyhound at bromham is superb, if a little pricey. Had a very nice rare ribeye there the other week, good pint of 6x on tap too. Always find the wanborough pubs food a little over rated and over priced. Almost like you're paying extra for a rural setting.

Used to go in there after playing for Bromham and it was pretty shit, but not these days.

Nothing like the cheese rolls,ham rolls and arseholes that were served up when Pete was the landlord of the Cgh. |
