| The Jenny Wren is where I used to drink. It might be a bit modern for some peoples tastes but I liked it. Not a bad pint either. |

I used to like the talbot When Nick and sall had it but now you can walk in there and you do not know anyone .
Jenny is quite a nice pub.Its friendly also,One pub i do not like is the bug and spider i find it over priced. |

| My local was the Soho - I know it's not technically in Calne - but it was a good little boozer back in the mid nineties. |
