A lovely village and a great pub perfect for a summer walk or a winter stroll down the Kennet and Avon canal. Some lovely foot paths just avoid mud lane unless its summer lol.

Arrived at 1210pm on Saturday 25th ordered two coffees and what they referred to on the menu as Wholemeal Sandwiches one of Beef with Horseradish and one of Cheese and Onion. The pub only had two other tables occupied during the time we waited for the Sandwiches which finally appeared at 1240pm. The Wholemeal bread turned out to be multi grain seeded and was stale and was sliced. The accompanying salad was okay but a slop of red cabbage, carrot had a real earthy taste and no flavour whatsoever. Having waited so long to be served we could see a return complaint would result in a further long wait so we made the sandwiches palatable by putting on lots of mayonnaise. When paying despite telling them the sandwiches were stale there was no reduction in the bill and a begrudging sorry. The smell of stale fat from the chip pan should have told us in advance what to expect. Our advice save time and money and give this place a miss and go to the excellent Silk on the Downs a little further along the Swindon to Marlborough Road.
