We came here for food for the first time 2 weeks ago and we were surprised to find a Himalayan menu. The food was delicious. I am not big fan of spicy food so this says a lot. Today we went again and we were not disappointed. Really happy with the food. There is a play area for little ones and the river running through keeps them interested and entertained. Lovely atmosphere and great outside spaces, in the garden and on the covered terrace. Some of the staff need a bit more training and courtesy. But we will definitely be coming back again 🤩🤩😋

Lovely food all served at same time. A bit of a squeeze on our table though. Could improve by offering some less spicy options for food intolerances and may be jacket potatoes.

Had a family meal here and I cannot fault a single thing. The starters we're all absolutely georgous and the mains were truly divine and all of thoroughly enjoyed even those of us who don't really like too much space . The flavours and quality of the food produced cannot be faulted and I cannot recommend this place enough . I personally had the butter chicken and was blown away I have eaten this dish many times but this was by far my favourite it had a beautiful texture with massive chunks of chicken and the most divine sauce that was creamy and thick with a lovely kick of chilli to it . The naan breads are next level and accompany the meal so well they're light and fluffy without over filling . The service was brilliant and nothing was too much for them out waiter was outstanding and very approachable and even went and got a little bowl of orange slices for our almost 2 year old toddler. All in all brilliant place to eat would definitely return here in the future.

My family recently has Sunday roast here and it was superb. They were very accommodating of our small ones and the food was lovely and fresh. I’m looking forward to visit swindon and eating here again.

Lovely welcome with friendly staff, a really pleasant atmosphere, and I was expecting my Himalayan Mix Veg Curry to be good, but it was GOOD! Definitely worth a visit if you've not been for a while, or you've never tried it before.

The food was good, although certain items were a little spicier than anticipated with no warning. (The meat platter sharer specifically) Luckily, I love spice, but I did feel the kick, and my little one was unable to eat any of it. Our table really enjoyed their steak and the burger. Although the restaurant was busy, our food arrived relatively quickly. The pub and the garden itself are lovely with a nice play area for kids and a little stream. Particularly lovely on warmer days. Pricing is reasonable, and the menu is unique for a pub setting (traditional British as well as Himalayan) Our server was efficient but not necessarily friendly. All round- Good experience, reasonably priced and although a few niggles, we would likely return.

Nice pub overall. Haven't had food there recently, just drinks. Good selection of beers. Been disappointed by some of the staff on a few recent visits, some of them didn't really seem to know what they were doing and need more training, and outside in the garden the woodwork needs repainting as it's looking tired.
