William Purnell left this review about The Jovial Monk

A friendly local in the St Andrew's Ridge area of Swindon. The pub is run by former Swindon Speedway Rider and Reading Speedway Promoter Malcolm Holloway. Rather than the normal run of the mill pubs adorned with football memorabilia, this one has many photographs of Holloway and other Swindon Robins riders who raced in Swindon Stadium just a couple of hundred yards away. 'Live' speedway is shown in the bar and conservatory when shown on Sky.

Two Arkle's ales are available at the bar.
