Amazing

NOVEMBER 2025
We decided to pop in an a whim. We were welcomed by very friendly staff and seated straight away and drinks were served with in 5 minutes. I had it in my head I wanted traditional food, however after reading the menu I wanted so many things and felt very spoilt for choice.

I went for the chicken mo mo’s and tandoori chicken and my husband went for jalapeño poppers and tandoori chicken.

The food is absolutely incredible, you can see and taste how much love and care has gone into all the dishes. It’s all home made and you arnt leaving sick from greasy fried food.

Our server Gaurav was brilliant, he was do polite, patient and friendly. We also saw the do a Sunday lunch which sounds incredible, so we will be booking for that very soon.

A relatively new find for us. Best fish and chips, although chips could be tastier!

Staff always friendly and attentive.

Well what can I say? SIMPLY the best meal I have had this year. End of story!

Best meal I had last year as well. Give them a tryout will be worth it.

Amazing Himalayan Food

JUNE 2025
Visiting from Cheshire we met up friends and family, taking our dog to.

Great welcome and service but the food was incredible. All 6 of us ate from the Himalayan menu and everyone thought the food was fantastic.

Looking forward to our next visit to Swindon so we can make any excuse to visit. Dog treats also a bonus!!!

Try The Runner, You’ll Be Pleasantly Surprised

APRIL 2025
I haven’t been to this pub for many years, but was pleasantly surprised. At first, when you see the dual menu of traditional pub food and then the menu of Himalayan food, you might think what? But this really works.

There were nine of us eating at 5:30pm on a Thursday. It seems many people had the same idea, because the place was pleasantly busy. This meant that we had to perhaps wait a little longer for our food than at quieter times, but we didn’t really notice because we felt so welcome and were enjoying a catch up and a couple of drinks.

Some ordered from the traditional menu and some from the Himalayan. All food was of good quality, hot and looked and tasted great. I had the fish and chips, and the cod was exceptionally good with a light crisp batter. I even enjoyed the mushy peas and I don’t usually!

The staff were absolutely lovely and made for a super relaxed evening. The prices are extremely good value.

We have already arranged our next visit, and when word gets around there will hopefully be a few more of us then.

Mum & Daughters’ Lunch Out!

APRIL 2025
I visited today with my 2 daughters the whole experience was definitely worth the 5 stars! Sam served us and was very polite and accommodating to our every request and went above and beyond to make our visit hassle free and memorable! The food itself was absolutely amazing, perfectly cooked, presented and so flavoursome! The portion sizes were fantastic and it was extremely reasonably priced. We will most definitely be returning as there are plenty more options on the menu we would like to try!

Still Excellent

APRIL 2025
I haven’t reviewed our local pub for some time and it is still first class. We go with the family for a Sunday evening Himalayan Indian Curry every couple of weeks and it is always brilliant, with lovely food and welcoming staff. Our most recent visit was for a light lunch and we can thoroughly recommend their nan wraps and salads.
