The Blundston Arms, Swindon

A large, busy, new pub near the Orbital shopping park on the north western corner of Swindon.

Nice enough, and done in the traditional style, but understandably a bit characterless. Bar service was efficient but rather impersonal.

Plenty of nice outside seating and interior very pleasant on the whole. The emphasis is mainly on food of course. This is pretty average fare (stale chips, overdone steak, mushrooms dripping with oil). Perhaps it was just an off day in the kitchen as I have heard good things from locals about the place.

Worth a look is you're passing.

Didn't try the ales but Thatchers Heritage cider was good, if you like that sort of thing.

The Bexley Arms, Windsor

Been here a few times, just when passing through. Cant help but think I need to find somewhere new to pop into when passing through.
Staff are placid at best, ale is over priced and it smelt a bit.

Not great.

The Cock Tavern, Euston

A proper old-fashioned sort of place, but rather tatty and (to be frank) a bit smelly. No real ale, so had to do with keg Worthington. Some curious looks from the locals, but not unfriendly.
