The Bridge House (JD Wetherspoon), Chippenham

A branch of Wetherspoon's whose one side overlooks the River Avon, making it a rather picturesque setting. The other side is completely the opposite, as you approach through a modern retail area. There is a fair size ground floor area, along with a more limited seating upstairs which appears to be much quieter. You get a good view of the river from up here, as well as from an outdoor patio alongside the pub. Young bar staff appeared to have many of their cronies in as customers, creating much banter. In fact, the demography was very much younger than what I have become to expect from a 'spoon's daytime crowd. The usual beers were on - Greene King Abbot, Ruddles Best & Sharp's Doom Bar. Guests were Box Steam New Normal & Exmoor Stag. Ciders were Cock Eyed Monkey Mango & Thatcher's Stan's Cheddar Valley, along with Purbeck Katy Perry. I found this branch to be bright and airy and if you try to forget the shopping centre location, it has some nice views over and along the river.
