    This place is fabulous! I come here at least every Sunday as they have the best roast in Swindon. Also great at the weekend for grazing and cocktails and then on to the upper floors into the night. Staff are also fabulous, especially Doug who always goes above and beyond providing the best service!

    The food was outstanding, we've eaten there before and it didn't disappoint. The service however was outstanding. Sadly I didn't know the waiters name but he was fabulous.

    Great ...but the menu on line does not reflect the menu in the restaurant and we were told it was out of date....pity actually as we chose the food before we got there and it was not available the staff were great and the food was perfect but disappointed that they cannot update their own site with a currant menu

    Had an evening meal for a small birthday celebration. Lovely food, well presented and affordable. Service is excellent, ask as many questions about the finished dish and/or how chew made it and they can answer. Nothing is too much trouble, and service always with a smile. I've been here three times and it's always been great, unfortunately after this last visit I found myself violently sick two hours later. I had seafood that tasted wonderful so I can neither attribute this to the meal or rule it out but I will be selecting a different dish when I return.

    Charming service, excellent and imaginative food - compliments to the chef- reasonably priced. Good outside seating area. In addition the restaurants location in Old Town is ideal, with plenty of parking close bye. We have visited before, and will be visiting again on our next visit to Swindon.

    A lovely meal which my Mum enjoyed for her birthday. The food was delicious and the service was excellent, it was just very noisy as there was a party of people at the downstairs bar (to watch the football?) which may have been better if they were in the upstairs area away from the people who just wanted a quiet meal.
