| Great idea to hold a beer festival, great idea to put up a rack with 24 casks on it, not such a great idea expecting the one poor overworked girlie behind the normal bar to serve coffees, take food orders, serve ordinary drinks and then every time someone wants a beer from the fest selection have to take a pint glass, leave her bar, walk across the room, go behind the fest bar, serve the beer, walk back with the pint to her other bar then ask the customer to pay. This, of course lead to the service being even more dismal than it normally is, come on Wetherspoons, if you are going to run a festival put some more staff on for gods sake. Its not rocket science.

| Huge pub. Extensive gardens helpfully segregated into kids and 'no kids' zones. A typical 'spoons really, but very clean and tidy. Staff were nice, if spread a bit too thinly. Good prices and ale was good. The food was tasty and fresh, if basic. No complaints. griffo59 - 17 Jun 2011 20:35 |
| Popped in today not too bad, nice pint of Caledonian 80 shillings, service ok by Wetherspoon standards, quite busy, for you beer cranks its on the stagecoach No7 bus route. Hodge1 - 24 Jan 2011 22:48 |
| Wetherspoons 4th pub in Swindon is situated on the edge of Stratton, with extensive gardens its a converted farmhouse. There are 2 bars, one cavernous and typically 'JD' with only 3 real ales on but a multitude of fizz fonts, head to the farther flung bar where the more interesting guest beers are found. Unfortunately the service is also typically 'JD', expect to have to wait a long time to be served when busy. If its sunny the gardens and play area will be wedged with squealing rugrats and their 'chavvy' parents, fortunately another part of the garden is 'adults only', I've not tried the food but Brake Brothers and Microwave come to mind. I suppose it does what it says on the tin. Hodge1 - 26 Jul 2009 17:11 |
| Well, even though I haven't been in since Christmas, I'll be the first! Pretty good as a fine weather family pub. 2 seperate bars, 2 seperate gardens. Fairly standard 'spoons fare, decent ales, fair selection of bottled ciders, pretty good food, decent service. If you live in Swindon, and have kids, go there in the summer and you should have a good time. SW6 - 13 Mar 2009 00:26 |
