Quick info
About The Tuppenny
On Devizes Road, The Tuppenny is a Swindon pub pulling in a steady crowd for its cask ales and a Thursday folk music night. The bar keeps a good range of well-kept cask beers alongside a back bar of spirits, with Lonkero, a gin-based long drink, worth asking for behind the counter. Dogs are welcome inside, and the room divides naturally between the bar and a more relaxed seating area at the back. It runs as a walk-in pub, so there is no booking system to navigate before turning up. Live acoustic sets on Thursdays bring a busier, music-led feel to the room.
