Arkell's Brewery celebrates buying iconic Swindon bar

Arkell’s Brewery is delighted to announce that it has acquired in central Swindon Rudi’s Bar & Kitchen at Regents Circus, following the retirement of its current owners, Paul and Lyn Notton.

Brewery chairman, James Arkell, said: “Rudi’s has been run very successfully by Paul and Lyn and their family for 30 years. It is in an iconic location in central Swindon and will be run by tenant licensee Shaun Montague. Katie and Mario and other existing staff are also remaining. We are delighted the way things are and have no plans to change.

“Rudi’s is a real meeting place,” added James. “Everyone visiting Swindon spots Rudi’s 1930s art deco building when they drive through the town centre, especially in the evening when its colourful neon signage is lit up. It’s been 30 years in the making, and now we’re looking forward to the next 30 years.”
