Shield and Dagger, Swindonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Recently revisited the S&D after a long absence. Weekday afternoon about 1pm-ish. The place was deserted, and a bit smelly!
Bar lady was very nice but was being distracted by some junior brewery manager type going through stock lists and so on.
Shame. This pub used to be fairly lively at lunch times. Seems like that trade is dying off as in so many other places.
Will give it a month or two and visit again. Maybe in the evening.

Nothing much in the way of character or fine ales, but has a good welcome, and a sense of community.

What a good proper pub. Lovely saloon bar. Sky is installed now with big screens and the food is great.
Wish i lived in the area so that i could have this as my local.

I found this to be a very friendly and welcoming pub.
Would recommend.
