The Pulpit

Vibrant craft beer pub and music venue in Old Town, Swindon.

Swindon's small micropub with big character!

Formerly The Little Hop, Swindon’s first micropub that began the real ale revival in Devizes Road, now Old Town welcomes The Pulpit.

White Horse Taverns is proud to bring a new chapter to Old Town, Swindon, as we take over the former Little Hop and reimagine it as The Pulpit.

We’ve kept the spirit of the original venue alive—warm, welcoming, and full of character—while adding our own touch. Expect perfectly kept cask ales, craft beers and lagers on keg, alongside a carefully curated selection of ciders, wines, spirits, and soft drinks.

We’ll also be pouring in plenty of community spirit with events, tap takeovers, and more—so keep an eye on our socials for the latest.

Rooted in the heart of Devizes Road, among an incredible line-up of venues, we’re excited to take our place and continue serving up great beer and good times.
