SWINDON'S newest pub opens its doors tonight at 8pm.

Founders Linda Gulliford and Jamie Stapleton promise that The Tuppenny in Old Town will offer the best in craft beer, fine wines and spirits.

It will also offer daytime customers a range of teas, coffees, cakes and sandwiches.

The venue’s Devizes Road premises were formerly home to the Talk of the Town hair salon.

Linda, former manager of The Vic, said The Tuppenny hoped to build on the reputation of Old Town for offering greater choice and higher quality across the board.

Jamie pledged that the pub would always champion independent craft producers rather than the mainstream.
