The Cricklade Club

The best stop in Cricklade by far. I've been a few times now and it has always been outstanding - the food, the service, the drinks and especially the staff. It's always such a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the staff do really well to make you feel completely welcome and at home. There's a great, rotating selection of craft beers and ciders topped off by a wide range of bottled drinks, and also the best coffee for miles around, all served up with a smile. The food also deserves a special mention: not only can you watch it be prepared through the open partition, but it's also wonderful. There's a regular cast of delicious dishes and also a constantly-changing specials board where the kitchen team really let loose and create some amazing dishes, such as the sesame-crusted seared tuna salad I've attached a photo of. I'd also highly recommend eggs in the woods, the braised beans and the spiced cauliflower tacos from the regular menu, which are all firm favourites. There's a good selection of vegan and vegetarian food, and the kitchen also cater very well for allergies such a gluten. Even some of their indulgent brownies (which should not be missed) are vegan and gluten-free. If you haven't much time, you can also get most of the food and hot drinks to go, which is all packaged in eco-friendly containers. It can get busy, so ringing to book is probably a good idea of you're a larger party, or going at peak times. It's the best place to stop for food in Cricklade, and much better than anywhere in Swindon, too. Well worth a trip to visit.

Turned of long journey to find coffee and cake. Friendly staff. Gluten free cake. Dogs welcomed with a treat.
