About This Pub
Ah, Rowden Arms – it's one of those reliable pubs in Chippenham that you can count on for a solid night out. From what I've gathered, the food really steals the show; folks rave about the tasty dishes like chicken wings and roasts, and the portions are generous enough to make your wallet happy too. The staff are an absolute delight, always polite and on point, which adds a warm touch to the whole experience – it's like chatting with old mates behind the bar. Plus, with deals like tucking into specials for a tenner and a great drinks menu, it's brilliant for catching up with friends or treating the family. On the flip side, things can drag a bit with the service sometimes, so if you're after a quick bite, it might not be the fastest option. Overall, it's a welcoming spot that's done well in the community, but it does feel a smidge ordinary if you're seeking something more adventurous. I'd say it's worth a visit for a relaxed evening, especially if you're in the area and fancy straightforward, enjoyable pub grub without any surprises.

We dine at Rowdens 3-4 times a month and find it really good value for money. The chicken wings ate the best! Our server Michael is always brilliant. Very polite, attentive and always checks to make sure we're happy.
I have been a regular customer for many years and have never had a bad meal, today's roast dinner as per usual was delicious. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Our waitress today was Carla and her service and attitude was spot on.
Rowden Arms went beyond everything! Today I had such a lovely experience. Great food, excellent service and atmosphere. I want to give Michael, one of the staff members a good big praise! He has been so kind, soft spoken and helpful. He definitely deserves a raise!
