Now called the Buttercross - was okay but did feel a bit like a smaller wetherspoons.

Four Seasons closed in 2013 and re-opened as the Buttercross. Purchased by a small pub co from Fullers, so now a freehouse with 7 ales and 9 real ciders. Pub has been given a makeover (now slate black instead of white front), and spruced up internally with lots of breweriana and old photographs of the town - check out the over-sized Bass mirror hanging in the upper snug level. Beer condition can be a little inconsistent, can't comment on the ciders as can't stand the stuff personally!

A vaguely tolerable place.
The punters were mildly amusing.
The beer had a slight taste of having been rolled down the A4 from Chiswick.

The Four seasons an old building OK from outside, decorated inside in corporate crap trying to look like an old pub style. It seems to run on an idea of constant karaoke, loud discos, and terrible music. The few times we have been there its been awful, definitely the ageing alchoholics pub of choice in the day, and the loud kev and sharon crowd in the evenings. The service is OK, the cleanliness is OK , apart from the gents which needs work. Never have wanted to eat there so cant really say what the food is like , but I cant imagine eating in that atmosphere to be honest. Needs a lot of work to bring this up to any standard I would visit regularly.

I hadn't been to Chippenham before yesterday and at lunchtime I found it a bit odd that there seemed to be so few pubs in the town centre. This place was there so I gave it a go, although I would have preferred a pub serving a more locallly-brewed beer (this is a Fullers house). The London Pride was okay and it was a surprise to be asked if I wanted it served in a jug or a straight glass (a choice not normally offered these days). There were some people having a good old laugh in one part of the bar and/or they were quite drunk. There weren't many customers otherwise but the place was friendly enough although quite gloomy away from the windows.

Much better now that obnoxious Manager Chris has gone! Great Karaoke night on a Thursday and music with Pop Sexy at weekends as well as live acts. Cheapest beer in town.

Badly treated old building now a Fullers pub. Big clear windows and too many internal walls removed to be cosy and resulting in an odd layout on several levels. There is a wide range of entertainment and events provided here, including live music, the space probably works for that. Usual keg offerings plus three handpulls although only slightly soupy London Pride available on my visit, no longer GBG listed. There appears to be something on every night here, music, quizzes, curry nights etc so full marks for making this kind of effort. Sadly I missed �Padraig sings requests� on Friday night.

A nice well kept pint of Fullers to be had from this good beer guide entry. Strange sloping floor in men's gents feels rather unsafe mind due! 7/10

The drunkards choice in Chippenham.
Not my thing - only ever go in when the group end up in there.
Would never go in through choice.

This is a nice cozy pub. A good place for an afternoon drink. The staff is for polite and quick to serve you.

Strange place this that attracts the local chavs. They do a good pint of HSB and London Pride though.
