Muck & Dunder, Devizes

A narrow front on a the main pedestrian shopping street leads to a larger two-room cafe bar behind, presumably once part of one of the neighbouring shops. Without the sandwich boards by the door it would be easy to miss. It bills itself as a rum bar, and there is indeed rum on sale in various guises, but it also sells beer and tea, coffee and snack food. Sadly there is no real ale on offer, despite a connection between the owners and Wadworth, though if you're desperate, Swordfish is available in bottles. The keg offerings were Jubel Peach Beer, Camden Hells, Tiny Rebel's Clwb Tropica and Red Stripe, the latter presumably intended to complement the rum and reggae music to give a Caribbean feel; this doesn't really work in Devizes. The main bar is a good size, pleasant and has a mix of wooden tables and chairs, while the smaller room at the back is offset and feels more like a snug. The staff were pleasant and engaging, and while it's not a place I'd go for beer, it is a decent enough bolt hole, especially if all you want is a cup of tea or a piece of cake.
