Soup Dragon left this review about The Brown Jug

A white rendered Georgian styled build with classical porch. Front patio area. A couple of open rooms on entry with rugby on the TVs so headed around the back where there was a pool table and a dartboard to chuck at while having an okish pint of Wadworth Swordfish (6x was also on). Busy, but service was fine and music at a decent level. Worth a pop-in.

Wadworth pub that’s a lot bigger than you initially think. 3 real ales and food served.

When researching, I had initially thought this had become a pub-cum-Chinese but then twigged. Daft name aside this is very much a pub, albeit a Wadworth house, so with a three ale line-up from Devizes' finest, your liking or disliking of their beers may sway your decision to enter or not. Up a couple of steps, this has a chamfered, staple-shaped bar with a small seating area to the right, tables to the left where one can utilise for drinking, dining or both (a menu advertised "Burgers & Pizza's" - the latter isn't my typo) and a restaurant area out back down a couple more steps, which, sadly, has been converted from a former skittle alley. A half of Wadworth Horizon was in decent shape (£1.95) and colourful locals were, like the nearby Five Alls, bearable. Muzak was a little bit naff (Uncle Kracker anyone?) but bar staff were friendly and the good beer tips it above a par score.
