Absolutely brilliant pub, this week Tracy supported our family by opening the pub for a wake. She was so accommodating, couldn't do enough for us, kept in contact with me for the arrangements to ensure everything went just as we wanted. I cannot thank them enough, the hospitality was brilliant, Its just a fantastic location for this type of event. Highly Recommended !!

Despite a negative review this pub is my cheers bar. Both Tracy and Lucy have made this pub a place that a lone female can come and have a drink. Both these ladies run a pub the way it should be and make all welcome. They also host a fab quiz night!

Pub itself is alright however the landlady Tracey is a scam artist buying cheap stock from Tesco and bookers however still charging arkell rates for it ! so wrong and also against all the rules and contracts in place . Also has no control over the punters will allow people to be highly intoxicated or under the influence of other substances and do nothing about it . Awful service from Tracey the other staff could not fault the glass collect Izzy she’s fantastic and Lucy the manager who did everything .

The staff for and family run pub and they were professional and friendly and and made it a wonderful night to. It is a cool place to be in old Swindon town and I would recommend this to anyone who who wants to drink and party.

Bar team super welcoming, landlady amazing & good deals on cocktails all night! Thank you for helping send our colleague off in style on his last day!

Popped in here tonight on my own to get out of my B&B after passing it earlier in the day. This is a super little bar with a good range of Arkells (and other) beers and ciders. Bigger than it first appears and with 3 TVs showing 2 different footie matches, but not so loud you can’t hear the jukebox. Wednesday night is also free cheese board night which was a nice welcome touch. Stayed longer than if planned and would come again to watch a game and enjoy a decent beer.

Out on a girlie evening, celebrating various things ie Christmas, birthdays ect. A group of us (total of 8) decided to give this one a try. Now the amount of times I’ve gone out into old town I have never tried this one and glad I did then. It was a little daunting at first due to the clear flooring looking into the cellar and being greeted but 3 friendly bar staff. It felt really small to start with and then I started to look about. It is small compared to your usual bars in old town but if you can get a table you will probably stay there all night. Due to the size of our group I was a little worried we might get in the way, but we were advised of a table in the back snug. Which suited us just fine. We came across some games in a box and decided to try them out and even had a go on the saddled stools lol. Definitely worth a visit and for all you gin drinkers a few different ones were on offer and my gin drinking friends seemed happy with the service.

As Old Town residents we used to visit The Plough fairly regularly, but never again! There used to be a fabulous guy behind the bar, but since he left there appears to be no interest/pride in the pub. Last time we went, despite the fact that there were only a few customers, they had run out of wine glasses - how can a pub run out of wine glasses? - so they served mine in a gin glass, which turned out to be plastic. Awful! The girl behind the bar had absolutely no interest in her customers and looked miserable. So many better pubs in Old Town - sad, but now definitely true.

The Plough has changed a lot over the years cosmetically, but the service, atmosphere and value have all remained constant and very good. We last visited as a family group on a Saturday afternoon. As usual the bar staff were spot on - friendly, chatty and helpful. And funny! We stayed for a couple hours and the 'out of towners' in our group were impressed with this little gem in Old Town. They do a happy hour but even after this their prices are reasonable. We will be back.

I was attracted to the Plough by all the flower displays at the entrance. Once inside the door there is a glass floor view into the cellar showing real ale kegs The bar man was welcoming and helpful in choosing a local brew. It's a small bar but very clean and organized. Lots of history displayed on the walls This is ideal if you're looking for a quiet place to chat and feel at home

Sadly arkells beers are akin to drinking rainwater and as this is an arkells pub then that's what you get. Funky interior with nice glass floor looking to cellar. Fairly individual with young but well-mannered staff who changed an off ale with no problem. Lacks atmosphere inside and the beer is weak and tasteless. Not a bad score from cwz...

Ordered a ham and cheese baguette, buttered. The two small pieces of fatty ham measuring 2"square each were of such poor fatty quality that I had to throw themaway. How can you charge for such tiny pieces of crap quality ham. Shame on you. Also, only one half of one half was buttered. Will never set foot in that place again

The spacious facilities gave us plenty of room to spread out as needed.. Everybody was very friendly and helpful, the food was excellent and good value, and the location was good for everybody - travelling from multiple directions - with the pub being in easy driving distance from M4 junction 16.

Whilst visiting my son and his family we went greyhound racing at Swindon one Saturday morning. It was the first time my 6 year old granddaughter and 2 and a half grandson had ever been to a meeting, my granddaughter loved watching the dogs whilst my grandson was more interested in his bacon sandwich. The stadium is run down but was talking with several greyhound owners and over the far side they have already begun to build a new stadium
