The Carriers Arms, Swindon

A local pub in a local village. This has a patio out front which is semi-fenced off and is a two-roomed layout with a public bar to the left with dartboard (in use during my visit) and saloon, with standard tables and chairs. Some exposed stone in the middle, with the rest of the walls rendered. Of the two ales, GK (Morland) Old Golden Hen was poured but was off. A second-poured Doom Bar was as good as you'd expect. Could be great, but as a local's pub, it probably does what it needs to.
