Each pub has its own story, character, and loyal locals, but they all share the same welcoming spirit. Whether it’s top-notch sports screenings, quiz nights, or DJs keeping the party going, there’s always something happening. At most of our pubs, you’ll find proper pub grub – with big, juicy burgers and classic fish and chips being firm favourites. And when it comes to pouring a cracking pint, we’ve got it nailed. We serve up real value, a great atmosphere, and a pub experience that’s worth every penny. The Goddard Arms is a friendly 17-bed hotel located in the heart of Old Swindon. We are an old converted coaching inn with a great beer garden, right next door to the beautiful 50-acre Lawns Park. We are passionate about great British food, our rich heritage of cask ales and newer craft beers, our extensive gin selection, and our wine range. From a quick lunch or snacks with a drink after work to a sit-down dinner or a party with canapés and Prosecco, we can cater for any guest.
