“When your therapist says “think of a happy place” this is what I think of. There is no place I’d rather be than here. Staff are wonderful; the regulars are always interesting and visitors are disarmed by how friendly everyone is.”

“A Proper Pub with a Massive Heart and Incredible Music
What a gem The Old Road Tavern is! In a world where so many pubs feel the same, this place stands out for all the right reasons. From the moment you walk in, you're hit with a genuinely friendly and welcoming atmosphere. It’s got a brilliant, alternative vibe that feels authentic and completely unpretentious.
The real soul of this pub is its absolute dedication to live music. It’s, without a doubt, one of the best small venues around. The quality of the bands they bring in is fantastic, and there's such a brilliant energy in the room during a gig. You can tell it’s a place run by people who are truly passionate about music and supporting artists, and that creates a really special community feel.
Beyond the music, it's just a cracking pub. The bar staff are always lovely and welcoming, and they serve an excellent pint, with a great selection of real ales and ciders that are always perfectly kept. On a sunny day, the beer garden is a fantastic little oasis, a perfect spot to relax and get away from it all.
The Old Road Tavern is a vital part of Chippenham. If you're looking for a pub with real character, a warm, friendly crowd, and a top-tier lineup of live music, you honestly can't do any better. It’s a truly special place that deserves all the support it gets. Highly recommended!”
