Restaurants · Swindon
A country pub down a signposted lane outside Swindon, this one earns the detour — there's a playground and a garden that families make good use of, plus outdoor tables for when the weather holds and a car park on site so you're not wrestling a pram along a verge. Inside is light, warm and airy, cosy without feeling cramped, and there are high chairs and a kids' menu. The roasts are the thing: generous portions, crisp hot roasties, rich cauliflower cheese and gravy people rave about. Fish and chips comes out in a light crisp batter, and the sticky toffee pudding gets named again and again. Vegan and gluten-free options run through much of the menu. It's busy even at weekday lunchtime, so book — and service can wobble when they're stretched.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
