Hi All,
Met a guy the other day who turned out to be the publican at the Packhorse Inn at Larkhill. He knew I was a biker and said that his pub welcomed bikers groups - lots of parking round the back. Just wondered if anyone had been there and knew what it was like, maybe some WB groups have used this pub in the past? 😊

Its not a pub i've been to but the pubs down the road in Upavon are good, also a nice ride to get to them from Larkhill too.
Roll on summer months :(
Don't find too many (or at least ones I would want to go into) that don't seem okay towards someone turning up on bike, I guess it's the thought of turning some of that cash usually spent on posh helmets and Goretex into beer money that melllows landlords these days
To be fair a pub's biggest markup is on soft drinks and that's what bikers tend to drink when stopping off...as a demographic we offer great profit margins to pub landlords :)
Try the White Swan in Trowbridge. Classic old school bikers pub - live music saturday evenings as well as an excellent juke box. Don't expect plush furnishings, carpets or food though.
I tend to go to the Black Horse or Farmhouse. Both not dedicated biker pubs but friendly and the foods great at the Farmhouse.Quote:

The Sally bike meets died a death some years ago...
A real shame as its a nice pub and easy to reach from Bristol...
Yeh Darren sold up and it was empty for a bit, now a bit of a foodie's pub and not running bike nights. Was a decent blast on a Thursday night when we had our weekly WB meets there :)
^^^^ saw it was for sale ...may have been sold by now ?
