Swindon - need family pub [shudder] or similar

[MrsBadger]

trying to arrange to see some friends in Swindon one Saturday including lunch. Group consists of

parents with 5yo & 18mo
parents with 2.5yo & newborn
one childless couple
once singleton

so too many to fit it anyone's house

Someone suggested we all go bowling which sounded awful to me (noisy, hard to talk, nothing to occupy toddlers) so dreadful as it sounds I think we need something on the lines of a Brewer's Fayre type pub with a softplay area and/or an outdoor playground.

Any recommendations in Swindon or surrounds?

Or any better suggestions?

tia (will be back but not immediately)

oh god

winston churchill - just outside swindon on wootten bassett road.

or there is large softplay place on same side of swindon, will see if can do link... hang on...

decent coffee and ok food as well

good luck

winston churchill is decent pub grub and large softplay area

and now i will leave as i seem to be doing an unhealthy amount of organising other peoples lives...

think you must be somewhere near me you know...

oh for heaven's sake

3h after posting initial query I googled 'family oub swindon' and this thread is the 6th result

mn is becoming a victim of its own success

Churchill looks good though

Any more for any more?

well we went to the Churchill

it was perfect

and cheap

I am recommending it to friends

really?
you survived?

yes, even got to have adult conversation

would not go there without under-sevens though
