The Three Tuns, Wroughton, Swindon, Wiltshire

The Three Tuns, Wroughton, Swindon, Wiltshire, dispenses Real Ales. The Three Tuns has a Beer Garden.

Don't be fooled by The Three Tuns' somewhat unassuming image. Down-to-earth it may be, but inside there is a cracking pub waiting to get out. Today it looks out over a busy mini roundabout on the main road into Wroughton from Swindon but the island used to house a war memorial and before that - indeed, before the motor car - it was grassed with an elm tree in the centre. For years there was a weighbridge outside which local farmers would use to measure the weight of their loaded wagons. There is believed to have been an inn or alehouse here for centuries, though the present structure dates from early Victorian times. When Arkell's bought it in 1889, The Three Tuns was already a substantial property, with "brewhouse, stables, coach house, shed, piggeries, other out-buildings, yard, garden, half an acre of orchards and meadow land, known as Home Close". Inside, the pub formerly had a cellar bar, a lounge, plus a small room called "The Kicking Box" which was used by the local horseracing fraternity and is now part of the public bar. It was here that one local character, Dickie Tarrant, used to bring his horse, Brownie. The room was so small that the horse couldn't turn round and had to be backed out the door. Horses are no longer allowed inside the building, but customers looking for an old pub with real character will always find a cheery welcome at The Three Tuns.
