| This pub became one of the latest victims of Wetherspoons closures on 13th February 2016. Ballymoss - 14 Feb 2016 18:05 |
| Lloyds No.1 Bar in a rather depressing town centre. My visit was an improptu afternoon one after missing a train. Some of the characters seemed a little odd. But Wetherspoons do tend to attract all kinds. The bar staff were all very cheerful. Beers on were Three Castles Starry Eyed, Hook Norton Old Hooky, Greene King Abbot & Ruddles Best & Brains SA Gold. Ciders were Old Rosie, Wyld Wood & Marcle Hill from Westons and Gwynt y Ddraig Black Dragon. It's only about a 5-10 minute walk from the station and probably worth the effort and to bypass the 2 pubs outside the station. Although in fairness, I didn't try either of these. So I may be doing them an injustice. blue_scrumpy - 8 Jan 2013 21:21 |
| Still tends to be the place for all-day dribblers and the like in Swindon, but in the evening their effect is diluted when it is pretty busy and regular after-work drinkers appear, to whom the "Airport Waiting Lounge" tag mentioned in an earlier review is a fair description. Reasonable pub, usual sort of Wetherspoons really, always got something interesting on beer-wise. PhilR - 3 Feb 2012 12:00 |
| Just managed to squeeze in a pint of Bath SPA before dashing for my train. Beer was fine and we got served pretty quickly. Not bad for a Wetherspoons although The Savoy probably just beats it in my opinion. mcroyal - 31 Jul 2011 11:48 |
| As I've just reviewed the other 2 'spoons I'd better do this one too. At the moment this is probably my personal choice of the 3 Wetherspoons in the Town centre, purely because the service tends to be better, and they seem to have a better selection of real ciders. The barstaff are friendly, surroundings are alright, clientelle are sometimes a bit........less than desireable, but the place is big enough to avoid those that you want to. And it's the closest of the 3 to the station. Good meeting place, pretty good Wetherspoons!! SW6 - 5 Apr 2011 15:59 |
