Country Pubs

[STFC Village]

Rose Revived near Standlake is a great Summer pub. I mean when the sun's out

[yeo]

I prefer pubs that I can stagger home from

I was about to make a very similar pub Mr red.

Fuck any pub which isn't within reasonable stumbling distance. I don't think I could ever cope with living out of town. Not even in the new buildy suburby places.

I meant point not pub. In the first sentence that is. I think I'm more pissed than I think I am.

Puuuubbbbb.

[yeo]

quite agree,ive only ever lived in Rodbourne,Town and Old Town since ive been old enough to get served.

[flammableBen]

Good choice. All within range of many a stumbling pub.

The George at Sandy Lane, near Calne/Chippenham

There's a nice one out Hook or Purton way. Can't think what it was called though as I've only been there once.

Not the Forresters was it?

If it turns out to be the Bollingbrook Arms, reeves4england is very wrong.

That's the only 'country' pub I can think of between Purton & Hook. It's an overpriced shithole really.

Although he could be thinking of Riffs Bar, but I wouldn't call that a country pub.

A little more out of the way for you Swindonians, but here are two recommendations from me:

The Queens Arms at Bleadon - about 2 miles out of WSM on the Burnham road. A Butcombe pub with very good home cooked food.

The Bell at Lacock - bottom of Bowden Hill, 6X, Bath Ales Gem and a couple of rotating taps for the hophead, and decent well priced food as well
