The Royal Oak is the essence of what a rural pub needs to be to survive these days. Only a mile or so off the A36 but in a beautiful old village. I heartily recommend, but do book early as this is a place sure to be popular with cyclists, tourists, locals and passing trade.

They are proud of their rocks, they don't charge to see them, and the kids can run among 'em.

We stayed for one night and was very impressed with the room. It was large, clean, and modern. The entrance was from the car park in the back of the pub that allowed for easy access. Though I worried the other pub patrons would be noisy, everything was very quiet. All the amenities I could have wanted were available including fresh towels, tea with a kettle, and a hair drier. The pub it self is very pretty and friendly. We enjoyed a delicious dinner of curry and scampi. The breakfast was even better with a small continental buffet with a menu to order a variety of traditional breakfasts. The key qualities that made this experience so lovely were the friendly staff and the cleanliness of the room.

As veggie lovers however we found that a small dish between four wasn't nearly enough. Some confusion around timing of coffees and desserts but despite this the desserts were awesome! and the liqueur coffee was lovely. Also the house white wine was really good and none of that aftertaste you can get from cheap house wines. All in all a pleasant place- quiet even tho it was packed as there was no 'muzak' blaring in the background and no games machines in sight- the tables were far enough apart from each other that we felt we had a degree of privacy. The staff were friendly and attentive- if a little confused sometimes lol I will definitely be going back!!

I'm a vegan, so my expectations for finding something tasty at a UK Pub didn't seem very high. Even in the US, I find pub menus about the most vegan-unfriendly. I didn't see anything on the menu to eat, so I e-mailed them in advance to see if there were some options available. Not only did they get back to me right away, but they offered me several off-menu options for starters, dinner, and even dessert: Starters: Soup of the day (we can do a veg soup if you book) Orange & Walnut Salad with Watercress & Balsamic Dressing Sun-Blushed Tomato, Olive & Artichoke Salad Dinner: Mushroom Stuffed Vine Tomatoes with Tempura Veg & Salsa Verde Dressing Cous Cous Stuffed Peppers with Mixed Salad & New Potatoes Marinated Tofu & Noodle Stir fry with Bean Sprouts Dessert: Red Wine Poached Pear With Sorbet Fruit Salad with Fruit Coulis Glazed Pineapple with Mango & Chlli Are you kidding me? I don't get great options like this even when eating at restaurants with vegan options. I got the orange/walnut salad, cous cous stuffed peppers and glazed pineapple and everything was fantastic! Some of the best food I've ever eaten. This place can really cook. (By the way, my non-vegan colleagues loved their food as well) If you are vegan and want to go here, please e-mail them in advance, so they can provide some options and plan for your visit. Not only was the food great, but the place has a nice cozy atmosphere and the owner and staff are great. Not only was the service great, but the owner actually drove us all back to our hotel in Swindon, which isn't that close. I can't say enough about this place, because it was such a surprise. I wish they would come to Minneapolis and set up a restaurant here, because it would beat every pub in town. The next time I go to Swindon, I will be back.

I discovered Three Crowns while working as a consultant in nearby Swindon one summer. This cozy pub was the "go-to" spot whenever the team needed a break from our normal routine (hotel food or late night kebab trucks). Particularly memorable was the "Taste of the Wild"-- kangaroo, ostrich, and venison. The meat wasn't too gamy, and cream sauce was amazing! The homemade desserts are also fantastic. They even have a proper English cheese tray that they roll right up to your table. The Stilton I tried was far and away the best I've ever eaten. And cheese for dessert! Boy, the British sure know how to live! It's a lovely drive into the countryside (including some sketchy single-lane roads!) and well worth it once in a while to splurge on a great meal!

Amazing menu - if I could write a menu packed just with the top pub food I love, this would be it. We only just managed to choose before we were planning a return visit. We both ordered the pie of the day (chicken & bacon) having checked it had a crust base not just a measly topping on a casserole. Staff are friendly and know the dishes. It's a 'slow food' place but we didn't have a long wait for food. PIETASTIC! and excellent value at £12.50 each. If you enjoy good food - do not drive past!!!
