The Strawberry Thief - Swindon

Love this place. Food was imaginative and well presented....and tasted good too. I am so fed up with going to pubs that only feelings are the same old pie and chips, gammon and chips , fish and chips and burger. There was a reallygood variety on this menu. We will certainly come again. One point though. I wish you had had a bit more about the history of the name....apart from one area of William Morris wallpaper. Tadpole Garden Village architecture was based on the Arts and Crafts movement...the pub could pay homage to that ....just a bit more history please?

They've thought a lot about the décor, it looks great. It's huge both indoors and outdoors and has parking. We went for food on a Sunday when there was a good pizza and a drink deal on. The pizzas came out super fast and were good, excellent for the price. There was also enough choice for vegetarians.

A wonderful evening out with super food and excellent service. Reservations are a must over the weekend as it gets very busy, however, despite how busy it was, we were served quickly by very attentive staff. The food was beautifully presented. The tacos were very good indeed. The bao buns were soft and fresh. The flat bread was delicious. The cheesecake was okay but, in my opinion, slightly bland and lacking in flavour. Reservations are a must over the weekend as it gets very busy. My only complaint was that a huge spider came in, which I trapped under a glass for it to be rescued, but, as I was looking for a member of staff to take it back outside, another staff member stamped on it and killed it.

Food is good. But stay away from the 🥩. It's overpriced and tiny (literally 2 bites!) Much smaller than the starter I ordered! Staff don't offer service outside which is a bit strange. But the atmosphere is good and the others who ordered other kinds of food were happy with the quality of their food.

Very impressed with the service. With a large number of staff available on the bar we didn't have to wait long for drinks. Food although cooked to a good standard was a little bland and desperately lacking spice. (However the waitress did bring us hot sauce on request, so good service there.) The large patio area was nicely laid out with plenty of seating available, however with no grassy areas available it's not particularly child friendly.

The atmosphere (vibe) in the pub was amazing. Loads going on and music loud enough that you could comfortably have a conversation without others being able to listen in. Food was great and priced correctly for the quality. Pizza was on the salty side is my only little moan. The tacos were nice but could do with a little more braising juice. The staff were amazing and cleared our table within 5 minutes of us finishing our food. We had a small issue with a missing pizza, but this was rectified quickly. I’ll certainly be coming again.

Had a work get together with friends. Lovely place in a great location. Food was lovely... service swift. Delicious! Only downside was my cola cost more than a red wine... Pic shows the spinach and feta stuffed chicken breast on a cream and thyme sauce with spicy rice. The salad was dressed beautifully. Highly recommended...
