Old Road Tavern, Chippenham

A splendid multi roomed old pub up the hill from the station. There is a single large room with a u-shaped bar counter plus a pool room and a strange room which looks like two large windows have been removed between there and the bar. There is also a pleasant garden cum smoking area. Five pumps with changing beers from regional and micro brewers, Fullers, Cottage, Rucking Mole, Hopback and Otter on my visit, all very well kept justifying the Good Beer Guide entry. Plain victorian style decoration, a bit dowdy but clean and tidy, an interesting mixed bunch of regulars, and friendly knowledgable staff. The usual TVs, the pool room already mentioned plus a dart board and games machines complete the facilities available.
