The Flemish Weaver, Corsham

Character pub with an olde worlde feel. Central corridor with rooms off; the low-ceilinged bar to the right with stone flooring, much wood and a timeless cosy alehouse vibe is the place to be. Intriguing to read elsewhere that it was refurbished not so long ago – they seem to have done the exact opposite of the usual and put back some soul, deliberately. Five pumps with three on, Youngs Ordinary and decent drops of Stonehenge Great Bustard (NBSS 3) and Youngs Special (3.5) via a friendly and down-to-earth blonde barmaid. A quality early 80s soundtrack on the go with a few choice cuts including some lesser-heard Simple Minds. I really liked it here and would make an effort to pop back again. The best pub in town by a distance, for my money. More interesting cask would have pushed this to a 9 but instead I'll settle for 8.5 and round-down.
