| I confess to not having set foot in the place until last weekend, and so can't comment on whether there's been any improvements of late, but it certainly was something of a shock to find 8, well-selected and seemingly well-kept cask ales on, in a pub that - forgive my stereotyping - looked like it was more the domain of the working man and cheap lager. Clearly there must be a clientele here who appreciate the licensee's efforts - or at least I hope there is. Actually this is a classic Victorian town pub often seen in a city, not a small town of Wroughton's size, and one which mercifully has preserved its traditional 2-bar layout. I found the welcome to be pleasant, and despite feeling somewhat overdressed in a jacket and waistcoat, I didn't feel I was being given the evil eye by the more down-to-earth locals! Well worth stopping off to find if you like a solid traditional boozer and fine ales. TWG - 9 Oct 2008 16:19 |
| Agree with the previous reviewer. Much improved. Always a minimum of 8 real ales available, all in excellent condition. Locals tend to congregate in the "Tap Room" while in the larger "Lounge" regulars and strangers alike receive a friendly welcome. This is a beer lovers pub where you can have an excellent pint and conversation. Live music is on at certain weekends. The best pub in the area in my opinion! Steve45 - 13 May 2008 23:21 |
| A good selection of ale was available on my recent visit. 2 from South Hams brewery and Cotswold Spring were the choices. Friendlier welcome than previous visits. Fine choice of Whiskies. Enough of a range of crisps to satisfy any dose of the munchies. Reminds me of how the Glue Pot used to be when it was going well for Mike and Bec before Hopback became meanies. Keep up the good work folks. an_ecunemical_matter - 12 May 2008 21:19 |
| A bit out of the way for me as I live in East Swindon. Though I've visited a few times and found it very friendly. Open fires in the winter. Good beer at very reasonable prices. Fassla - 3 Mar 2008 10:44 |
| Just moved into Wroughton, I have tried all the Pubs and The Carters is certainly the best drinking Pub. Very much a locals Pub in the Winter with walking and cycling visitors in the Summer. Its great to have a busy active Pub close by. roganddi - 3 Feb 2008 19:33 |
