The Wyndham Arms, Salisbury

This pub is said to be where Hop Back brewery started, and we found there was a full range of their beers available, Crop Circle .. GHB .. Citra .. Summer Lightning and Taiphoon. We chose and enjoyed the Taiphoon.

This pub is pristine and well worth a visit. The pub consists of two entrances, a corner entrance with a timber carved Hopback emblem over the doorway, this leads into a small corner room which has two large arched shaped sash windows and bench seating. There is also a side door entrance which leads you along a short lobby into the main bar. The main bar area consists of a rectangle shaped room with the bar along the side wall and a small snug opposite. The bar had an exposed brick frontage and oak counter. Six Hopback beers on handpump, so we went for the Summer Lightning and Hopback Citra, both were in superb condition.

Hop Back owned pub offering 5 on Sat, Summer Lightning, GFB, Crop Circle, Spring Zing, and Downton Forest King. Small front room beyond which is a narrow area with bar on left opening back out to seating area at far end with tv, prepping up for the afternoon rugby, below which is sited the somewhat inaccessible dartboard, my scribblings say there was another room to the right opposite the bar. Friendly enough welcome, the locals here were clustered at the bar itself and, with that choice, why not? Not a hugely characterful building, but good beer & folk.
