You can't pass along Cheney Manor Road without noticing 'The Manor'. It's a large pub and, as modern buildings go, rather elegant.

With a big bar and seating area, adjacent function room, live music, sports, pool and darts - and a rather nice garden terrace - expect to find families mixing with football fans and local enjoying the friendly atmosphere of a pub that's been in the community for over 50 years.

A little bit of history...

This popular pub in Cheney Manor has been named as 'The Manor' since 1997, before which it was known as the Steam Train - known affectionately as 'The Steamer' by locals.

Arkell's bought the land in 1892 - the heyday of the Swindon railway works - but did not build the pub until 1959 when, ironically, the works were in decline.

Now, a pub which served the local workers and the rest of the community so well over the years, is looking to the future and putting the emphasis on attracting a wide range of people.
