About The Plough Inn
In the old town centre of Swindon, The Plough Inn is a traditional pub on Devizes Road with a village-style feel and a full bar pouring ales, spirits and cocktails. The week revolves around a regular programme of live music, a pub quiz and a monthly karaoke night, drawing a steady crowd through its doors. Dogs are welcome inside, and the room takes walk-ins throughout the trading hours. The setting pairs the character of a long-established pub with an events-led format that gives regulars something new each week.
