The Brewers Arms, Wanborough, Swindon, Wiltshire
Homepage
The Brewers Arms, Wanborough, Swindon, Wiltshire, dispenses Real Ales and serves Good Food. Families are welcome. The Brewers Arms has a Beer Garden.
Situated at the bottom end of the elongated village of Wanborough, the Brewers Arms is popular all year round with families - including those with young children. But it is during the summer months that the pub is at its finest as youngsters can enjoy both the garden's attractive playground and the menagerie of animals while their parents sample the Brewers' excellent beer and varied menu al fresco. Just how long the Brewers has been welcoming drinkers is unknown. The first reference to it is in the 1861 census when landlord Thomas Turtle was known to be brewing on the premises. By 1869 it had passed to a man called Charles Prince who was later prosecuted for using undersized pots. But the owner of the freehold was Charles Hurt, who also owned nearby Horpit Farm. He eventually sold the pub to Arkell's in 1873. As with many village pubs, part of the Brewers was used at one time as a shop, but the premises were extensively modernised in 1969. The addition of an impressive conservatory in 1991 allowed for even more space in the large lounge which opens out onto the garden. Even so, many still come for the smaller room at the front which retains the character of a traditional public bar with its curiously large area behind the bar itself. Such is the demand for meals on busier nights at The Brewers, that we recommend phoning in advance to reserve a table.
