The Glue Pot, Swindon

As I was in Swindon on business, on the way home I called in The Glue Pot, intending to stay for a few pints. I did not feel at all welcome or comfortable. I had the distinct feeling JC did not like me.

I had one drink then went to Yates round the corner, where the manager made me feel very welcome. He also had some excellent beer on which was very reasonably priced and some decent food.

Went in there the Saturday before last, to see a friends band. The atmosphere is nothing fantastic and they were charging £3.70 for a pint of Reverent James.

I thought this was a bit expensive. The nearby Glue pot, has a good range of really well kept beers, from £2.70 - £3.30 in a friendly atmosphere.

The Castle in Old town is also friendly and has Timothy Taylors Landlord a lovely beer in really excellent condition for £3.10. They also have good regular bands and sky-sports.

Ballymoss, apologies if you found the language offensive.
Except for the last paragraph, that was a copy of a post on the landlords facebook page which has since been deleted.

JC went through a phase of swearing at and in front of customers and crashing glasses around, possibly due to his medication. I don't know.

I've been back a few times when visiting Swindon and really enjoyed it. He was chatty and really friendly, and also having a bit of banter with the bar-maid.

Hopefully, that is a sign that things are going a lot better for him.
