  “I know the food is good if not a little pricey, as I've eaten here many times, the service however is often very poor. On this occasion my wife and I visited for lunch, it was very quiet with only two tables taken. The male waiter was very disorganised, he proceeded to take food and drink orders from 5 other people who had arrived at least 5-10 mins after we arrived. We all know that can be annoying, so we voted with feet and walked out. He made some sarcastic comment as we departed, its a shame the service doesn't match the food.”

  “Food was quite tasty but very overpriced. Glorified cheese on toast (not much cheese at that) at £12.50 ! We wanted to order the lentil soup (on the menu) but that particular day they had decided to add chicken to it (we don't eat meat). The worst thing ever was the number of dogs in the room (one of which had bad wind which encouraged us to leave quicker than we had planned). We found it disgusting to find animals in a food establishment - the dog owners should have to dine outside.”

  “The service here was quite nice. Popped in here to do a bit of afternoon light reading. The atmosphere here is lovely and its beautifully decorated. The food was alright but I think that was down to my taste buds not liking what I ordered rather than the food being bad. Definitely will try it again sometime!”

  “Opening night - perfect spot on Wood Street and a lovely venue. We just came in for a drink but will be back to try the menu. If you know Magnums then you know how friendly the service is ... and how amazing the wine in. Perfect place to meet people, and watch the world go by with excellent food, wine, beers amd cocktails. May have to become a regular haunt.”

  “Was in Swindon dropping a friend off and decided to grab a bite to eat. I'd parked up outside this restaurant and could see it was busy, so I decided to give it a try. The place was full of atmosphere. Managed to grab a table and shortly after the owner came over to take our orders. The food arrived, and with the owner now, seeing that we had a four-legged friend with us, he immediately went to the kitchen and brought him some scraps. The food was fantastic and very well presented. Everything tasted fresh. The coffee had a delicate roast flavour and not to bitter. The staff were all polite and couldn't do enough to make sure we enjoyed our meal. All in all I highly recommend this restaurant.”

  “Lovely relaxing and cosey atmosphere, food was great and the dogs loved the fuss they got when we went in and had a great snooze while we ate ☺️ Great that there were veggie options on the menu and very dog friendly.”

  “This is one of not many hidden gems in Swindon. The music, the food and the atmosphere is just amazing. Magpie beans are heavenly- please don’t ever stop making them! Unforgettable taste. Also a little note about the design/interior of the place - is so sophisticated and thought through. 💫 I am very grateful for having this place in the area!”

  “I love this place! Pure Class!! I took my wife for a Birthday Breakfast this morning and everything was on point and delicious (as it always is here). I feel like I should have posted a review a long time, the level Liz and Sarah have gone to to create such a beautiful atmosphere is really commendable, it transports you to another place, very Parisian feel and the effort they have made to keep the traditional Victorian style to the front of the shop with its original signage is amazing. We need more of this in Swindon, keep it up Food Magpie's!”

  “Brilliant Italian theme supper club evening this evening. Great panzanila starter, wonderful lemon chicken and pasta main and apricot and peach dessert. All served in this lovely restaurant/cafe by super people and accompanied by decent wines and fair prices. What's not to love.”
