The Pulpit Cheese Club. Doing what it says on the tin, I’ve today spent a convivial couple of hours in the The Pulpit on Devizes Road, eating cheese and drinking wine. The premise of the cheese club is a simple one – as the wee sign below explains. If you enjoy a chunk of Cheddar or a slice of Stilton or a wedge of Wensleydale get yourself along to The Pulpit on the first Sunday of the month and get stuck in.
The Pulpit
The erstwhile Little Hop is now The Pulpit – and is a Broadtown Brewery establishment.
From their website: ‘Located in the Original 1830 Brewery coach house owned by the Hart “Brewing” Family of Broad Town and Royal Wootton Bassett, once again the town and surrounding villages have their own local brewery… Only, this time it has alpacas!’
They describe their beer as being ‘niche batch brewed’. That, it seems, means that they pay the utmost attention to detail and quality. ‘Every brew we undertake starts with high quality ingredients from the best maltings, hops and yeast that we can source, with a nod to consistency and a sense of adventure.’
Since their 2019 launch, their beers have proven popular. So popular that they’ve upscaled from using a 500L german-made Braumeister to a 6BBL (918L) brewhouse, now based in Calne. They’ve converted their original brewing location into additional seating in their quaint taproom, the Hop Chapel.
And I’m wondering if the name The Pulpit is to form a relationship to the Hop Chapel?
And this looks good to if you’re visiting the Arts Centre.
