I don't enjoy writing bad reviews, especially for community pubs, and places which support live music, but the quality of "Sunday Roast" my family and I had here was downright awful in truth. The meat was chicken breast straight from a packet and so dry, dry beef that appeared to be frying steak from a packet, dry pork which was pork loin from a packet, packet gravy and very little of it, barely brown 'roast' potatoes, packet Yorkshire pudding and packet veg which was both very overcooked and undercooked as well. The meal was thus devoid of flavour as it was clear none of the food was cooked from scratch given it came to the table barely 6 minutes after we got our drinks, which meant we had no real time to ease into our lunch experience either. The Doom Bar was perfectly nice, service perfectly friendly, and it's clearly a popular venue. That said, as a first time visitor who supports local pubs, I can't recommend the food at all, especially when a Toby's Carvery is better, and other pubs serve considerably better food for only fractionally more than we paid. Maybe the regulars are happy with the quality, and each to their own, but as a first time visit, based on this meal I'd only go a drink and nothing more....

The pub is huge but still manages to feel cozy, it has an open fire which I love in a pub and there is a large garden so I’m sure that’s great for summer time. The staff were so attentive and made us feel like their friends straight away. I wish I lived nearer so I could visit more often! Leo Nathan was great!! The pub has a really nice intimate area for music and it made an already great gig even better. If you haven’t visited The Golden Farm yet, then definitely do! Especially if they have a...
Read moreA great dog friendly pub on the outskirts of Cirencester town centre (approx 10 minutes walk)
You have a selection of well kept lagers and ales as well as your usually spirits & mixers.
They have a huge garden which has a marquee with seating and 4 enclosed booths which have in built heaters, ideal for those chillier nights.
We went on a Friday which i believe is regular live music night, this was in the garden as we were still on restrictions.
The staff were fantastic, they were very efficient with the table service even when the rain started at the end of the evening & on top of this extremely friendly, we felt well...
