The Hop Chapel - Broadtown Brewery in Wiltshire

We went to buy some bottles of beer for a friends birthday. The lady behind the bar was very friendly but the place was very disorganised. We hoped to buy 3 bottles in a presentation box , but they had run out of boxes. After about 15 minutes the owner found some plain bottle boxes for 6 bottles. We said that’s fine expecting to pay the same price as they would have been individually from their in line shop, which at worst would have cost about £23. But as we had bought the beer in a box we are charged £30. In other words they charged us around £7 for a plain cardboard box. I messaged the Area Manager, Bridie to ask firstly about brewery which we had been told in the bar were about £10, to find out later from their website they are £25. I also subsequently messaged Bridie to ask for an explanation for the pricing of the 6 bottles of beer in the box. So far I have heard nothing back, despite her very prompt reply when she thought we might buy a brewery tour. I suggest that the business gets it ‘s pricing and customer support more aligned. Otherwise the beer I bought and drank while waiting for my overpriced box of beer was very nice.

Set in a beautiful location, a lovely friendly pub with great beer! The garden area & bar is fantastic whilst the Hop Chapel bar itself is a great place to relax & catch up with friends. Lovely, friendly staff too! With the added bonus of regular street food vendors (from pizza, to burgers and fish & chips- see website/social media for details), but if no visiting food vendors the pies are tasty too! We walked from the village, but plenty of parking available. Open Thursday- Sunday, dog friendly. A lovely place & we are so lucky to have this in our village!!!!

A real hidden gem in a fantastic location. Well stocked bar with locally brewed beer, and friendly bar staff . Very welcoming and lovely atmosphere . Food van most weekends. A perfect evening - thank you

Our first visit here today and certainly won’t be our last. Rural, but in a lovely location with good parking. We were greeted by the most friendliest staff which was great. Plenty of other customers there too and we both commented on the good vibe we felt. A good choice of beers and I certainly enjoyed the Black Llama, very tasty. Very apt too, as we walked passed two real black llamas lazing in the sun in the back garden area. The pub was both dog and child friendly too. Our only regret was not being able to stop long enough to sample the food from the street food van. Would definitely recommend this lovely pub!

This is a quite wonderful place. For an ale lover who supports pubs as I do it was a truly amazing find. It's like drinking in the best garden shed in the world. The visual aspect of the wood decor.. even the aroma of it, combined with real quality tasty ale is an enriching experience. There's only on slight problem... They don't take cash.. only card. This goes directly against my whole ethos. (especially after the recent banking (or de-banking) scandal. Why should the banks know where we go and what we choose to spend our money on? - I spoke to the owner (Jason) who assured me that plans were underway to be able to accept cash. When that happens it will be the final piece of the jigsaw in place and I'll be wanting to go there, take friends there and play music there. I'm one half of the Black Dog Acoustic Duo. We played an impromptu gig there a couple of months ago.. looking forward to going back and being able to pay cash for our drinks!
