Visiting Swindon for an away game and after visiting a very tense pub elsewhere, we arrived at The Glue Pot. A proper old pub with a great selection of ales, but what really won me over was how professional the one barman was. The pub was packed out with Exeter supporters and he dealt with each and every one, not complaining or get flustered, just pulled point after pint, to the point where there were no glasses left. This pub is the absolute highlight of Swindon.

Watched my team Plymouth Argyle get a point and needed a decent pint in a real ale pub......not a Wetherspoons! And this pub was perfect. Lots of real ales, good atmosphere, a genuine good old English pub. I had a couple of Summer Lightenings but there was plenty of choice. Friendly, with locals and a few eclectic away fans it was perfect to while away in the aftermath of a good away point.
Proper pub serving real ales and ciders. No games machines or loud music. Outside tables for warm summer evening drinking. I have been trying for a few years to make my way down the cider list but am thwarted by new arrivals to tempt me. Host and staff are wonderful. This is very much a favourite pub of mine.
It was so nice going to a pub that just wanted to be a pub. It wasn't a gastro this or a themed that. It didn't do food it just did a huge selection of reasonably priced beers and ciders in a clean and tidy bar. Brilliant!
Lovely beers. Small but definitely worth a visit!
