Most Disliked
Some patrons mention that it can get quite busy during peak hours, particularly on Saturday nights when the pub achieves full capacity. While this lively atmosphere is enjoyable, it may not suit everyone seeking a more tranquil experience.
A few customers have noted that the availability of certain popular items, like the chocolate mousse, can be hit or miss, suggesting potential inconsistency in menu items. Additionally, although the vintage decor is charming, some might find the seating arrangements a bit snug, especially on crowded days.

Lovely vintage style pub in the center of Chippenham less the 4 mins walk from the station a variety of popular and less seen drinks the pubs decor is great if you love old timey style pubs. Bar tender was friendly and it seemed like a nice atmosphere with fair prices for the service and for that vintage bar feel

Good locally sourced food, excellent cider and great service. The whitebait is *amazing* - the best I’ve had in this country, we could have been eating on a beach beside the Adriatic. Charming staff - they ran out of chocolate mousse, so the chef very kindly made us a dish of creme brûlée on the House. It’s connected with a brewery up in Malmesbury so some really interesting local beers. Best of all - it’s has a mini-library and it’s dog friendly 🐶

Excellent establishment. Local pub feel but really well maintained with excellent beers on tap and bottled. When I came in they had Deya on tap and lots of Belgian beers in the fridge.
