In the end, it is all about great tasting, organic food
and the farm is where it starts.
Organic Farm and Food
Our farm is at the heart of everything we do. We started Helen Browning’s Organic to tell our story. Connecting directly with you, our customers, has enabled our family farm to survive and thrive.
Royal Oak pub and rooms
We are a dining pub with rooms, in the middle of our organic farm in the village of Bishopstone, on the edge of the Wiltshire Downs. Great service, informally, and a welcome as if it’s your own front room.
Chop House
Good, fast, simple, casual food from great ingredients. Brunch, lunch and supper in Swindon’s Wood Street – serving our own organic beef, pork and lamb.
Guilt-free guilty pleasures.

Organic Pigs = High Welfare
BANNED! These common practices are all banned under Soil Association Organic standards:
- Nose ringing - used to prevent pigs natural rooting behaviour
- Tail docking - pigs in confined spaces often bite each other’s tails, so non-organic producers dock tails to prevent this
- Farrowing crates - small metal cage only inches wider than the female pig, used around the time she gives birth to restrict her movement and prevent her from following maternal instincts.
- Routine use of antibiotics.
