The team here are amazing!
We have a very elderly dog and they always find us a quiet table where she can settle in a bed (provided) and have a little Potter around the garden, whilst we wait for our food.
The food is wholesome and tasty with a good selection off vegetarian/vegan offerings and good beer brought to your table with a smile and warm welcome.
All within a short distance of The Downs, Cotswolds and various local dog friendly parks.

Linda Newman, September 2022
The food, staff and ambience at The Runner are second to non.
It's great to go to eat, take our dog Rex who is good as gold. It also makes the pub experience so much better, because you actually get up and go to meet people with their dogs. have a good chat and get tips on dog walking routes in different areas that I would never have known about.
Miles and Jayne have really turned this pub around, it's always really busy, and has a lovely garden area for the dogs to sit and chill under the tables.
Sharon Gough, September 2022
The Runner is exceptional. Jayne is so so friendly and so natural. We have been to the Runner for some time now. We couldn't wait to take our new puppy in recently and he loved it. He had such a fuss made and loved his roast dinner and ice cream and a rest afterwards. Thank you to Jayne and all the team at The Runner. You really are amazing. Continue doing what you do and never change. Love from Louie and his Mum and Dad x

They have thought of the little things too like biscuits, poo bags and dog ice cream so all can be involved. The staff are great and definately one of the best pub restaurants we have been to in ages. To top it off, the food was amazing too. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :-)

CHAD BUTTERFIELD, August 2021
THE RUNNER is an absolutely stunning place to visit, with its very unique beer garden with a small stream running through it. Even more picturesque setting both the building itself and how they have structured the pub layout and decor to the beer garden itself. So, back to the dog's. As soon as we arrived, there were 8 dogs bowls of all of all sizes completely full; it's was about 24oC, all available to pick up and take to your table! By the bowls was a little sign given prices for dog ice cream and dog beer :D All very reasonably priced and wouldn't put any dog owner off from buying! Staff were fab with the dogs; clearly dog lovers themselves!! At the end of the meal the manager even came out and asked if the pooches enjoyed their ice cream. Honestly, overall the pub is very accommodating and welcoming of dogs!!

Really great place to take your dog and they really look after them there. Took our puppy in there, they got him water bowl, a bed for a good doggy nap and gave him such a fuss. He got to play with the owners dogs and was really sad when it was time to go. They allow dogs both inside and out. You can grab a good bite to eat, nice drink and have the company of your four legged friend.

Beat dog friendly pub in Swindon
Rebecca Barclay, August 2021
My dog suffers from separation anxiety so being left at home she often destroys this or has jumped out of windows.
So taking her out with us is the safest option and more often than not we have to risk assess if it would be to hot in the car for her. Park in the shade ect
Being able to take her in the pub with us shes so happy.
We do still sit in the garden with her but its so nice that theres bins . Water and dog beds for them .
My dog has also be woofer of the week ....I think what Jayne Miles and the team do is a great idea and are all so friendly
Geoff Canton, August 2021

Being a dog owner it is so good to have a pub that is so welcoming to our extended family, and to be allowed to be in the pub, rather than banished to the garden only.

clare fantini-stephens, August 2020
Jane and her team had only been at The Runner for a few weeks at the start of lock-down and she contacted SNDogs a local dog rescue as she wanted to help raise funds for them by running an on-line Dog Show. Jane asked for sponsorship from local companies to pay for the rosettes and it took up a lot of her time organising it. The Runner raised £600 for us which was a massive help to SNDogs at this time. It was so kind of Jane to help us out at this time.
