The Bell by The Green, Devizes, Wiltshire

The Bell is a pretty venue with a great location for people watching in and out of the bar and fantastic appointments well maintained.  However, the three blokes at the end of the bar had to shout to hear one another over the Boy Band/X-Factor/Britain’s Got Talentless Fuckers videos blaring out of the large screen tv.

I had a Weston’s Old Rosie Scrumpy which is sweet and apple-y and good for a warm afternoon.  The bellowing/humming/bad R&B mix was relentless, though.  Two of the guys left for a smoke and the third started watching the vids and even singing along with them.  What has happened to humanity that this is considered acceptable?  I am depressed.

A visit to Devizes is always good, though, and if you find yourself in front of this pub considering a pint…the British Lion is about a hundred steps away.
