A little bit about us…

Each pub has its own story, character, and loyal locals, but they all share the same welcoming spirit. Whether it’s top‑ok 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.
