Jonathan Wilde left this review about The Village Tavern
Despite being reopened some time, visually there has been no changes effectively since I attempted this pub in 2015. Upon entry it's down stairs to the main area of the pub with the octagonal area being where the bar begins and wraps round the the L shape of the building which opens out to what I suspect is the function room area where pool and darts are.
Was the only customer in just after opening today and bar member didn't hold much hope for it's future due to the lack of investment by the brewery not keeping it busy. It's shabby and of similar feel to many other pubs built in Swindon architecturally as housing expanded, just without the custom.
No real ale but does have Karaoke and Quiz events to try and attract locals but given no investment in the building and the interior I guess its doomed to be as popular as other similar establishments in the town.
