The place's prime location, easy parking, and generous food portions make it a promising spot. Yet, vegetarians and chicken enthusiasts might feel a bit limited in their choices. Despite the slightly cramped atmosphere for larger groups, the cozy ambiance and satisfactory seating arrangements are pluses. The staff's friendliness adds to the experience, although there is room for service improvement. With an average spending of £20 - £35 per person for a starter, main, and a drink, I am certainly looking forward to revisiting the place in the future. 😇
Lovely food as expected as it was just first time here after being recommended by lots of friends. Lovely staff and very quaint inside. Not a huge choice on the menu but nice food nevertheless.
Reasonably priced and will come back to try the Sunday lunch menu.
We dropped in for our 2nd wedding anniversary and were made very welcome.
The belly pork was outstanding!
What a lovely gem this place is and only a stone's throw into the countryside from North West Swindon. Food was delicious, freshly cooked and generous portions too. It was recommended to us and we'd be more than happy to do likewise. Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for a lovely mid-week lunch.
Great Sunday lunch with the family, food was delicious and staff were really nice too.
Wonderful food. A fantastic gluten free menu with choices and all three courses which is really rare. The staff are wonderful, it is cosy and welcoming. Definitely go.
First time visiting, and was not disappointed what a great place, we had a table of nine, and not one bad meal between us, the food was sublime, the service was second to none.
I had the four meat roast, and wow cooked to perfection, my only complaint was I couldn’t finish it all! We all say our mums/ nans cooked the best roast, but I’m telling you they don’t, this was great.
Also just to mention the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful if they tried, every member including those that were not serving us was polite and smiling and nothing was to much trouble.
Great place, even better food, and amazing staff, would 100% recommend to anyone.
Just stopped for a drink with friends while out for a walk. The staff were friendly and helpful. A good selection of beers too. The menu looked inviting so we'll be back another time.
We celebrated a family occasion here with 18 of us and it was superb. Every single person commented on the quality of their meal and those that had the roast dinner all said it was their best ever. Even the children enjoyed every mouthful.
The service was excellent, despite being such a large party, and all meals came out together and drinks orders fulfilled. A truly memorable day. Thank you to all staff involved.
Just visited for the first time, it was a family get together for my Brothers bday, 8 adults & 3 children. Food was succulent & very tasty, not the cheapest, but you get quality meat for this. Friendly & very helpful staff, will be visiting here again. FYI you do need to book as its very popular
Birthday lunch with friends, fabulous roast dinners, could not be faulted. Service was great. Quality wines to compliment the food. Can recommend to everyone.
What's not to like, superb food and quality service. My comments are not surprising, given the landlord's pedigree.
You can get in with a wheelchair, but only with a little help from the staff!
First class pub!!🥰
Thank you.
Had driven an elderly lady to the area to visit her sister and had a few hours to kill. The Bell came up on a Google search for somewhere nearby to eat. Two observations, one, I wish I'd had more to stay, and two, wish I wasn't driving. The one pint of real ale I had was superb and the meal exceeded all expectations. The steak, mushroom and Stilton pie with chips was excellent but the addition of a meledy of vegetables made the meal first class. I would highly recommend this pub if you're anyway in the area.

Been here again twice this year and it's still as fabulous.
Can't wait to return for another meal. Very good value for money and excellent food
Was treated by my daughter, the food is fantastic, plenty of choice, staff very welcoming, and service excellent. I had chicken liver pate, followed by sea bass on slightly sweet chilli vegetables absolutely delicious . My daughter had garlic mushrooms, followed by Pork, plenty of vegetables as well.
Lovely country pub with good atmosphere. Such a nice menu, we had difficulty in choosing what to have, we were spoilt for choice. The cheese dumplings are delicious but filled us up so couldn't finish the mains, equally delicious.
