| Fantastic pub in Loughborough with really knowledgeable, friendly staff. The food is lovely, I can recommend the local sausages and the hot baguette is great value. About 8 cask beers on and the ones I tried were in fine condition. Lozzachops - 13 Mar 2010 09:31 |
| There may be better reasons for coming to Loughborough other than just to drink in the Swan, but whilst sitting in the relaxed and welcoming main bar quaffing an excellent ale like Sheriff's Tipple it's certainly hard to think of any. By keeping things simple, and using an intelligent approach to traditionalism this is an example of how good a pub can be once it is acknowledged that there are still plenty of drinkers who value alternatives to chain pubs or city bars. It's easy to imagine making many new friends here within just a short period of regular visits. Interesting feature is the illustrations along the corridor walls leading to the toilets and outdoor smoking area, I assume they're caricatures of the regulars. Trouble is you're too busy looking at these to notice the step that trips you up on your way. Heigh-ho , it should earn a laugh when you return to your comrades. An all round thumbs up.

| I attended their 22nd Birthday Beer Festival last weekend; my first visit to Loughborough and this pub. The stillage was upstairs in a weird sort of function room cum skittle alley - we arrived just after one o'clock to be greeted by plenty of seating and a smattering of older bearded gentlemen with pens ticking like bombs - just my type, hehe! Eighteen ales awaited my tasting plus more on the bar downstairs (all the excitment was on the first floor so I didn't even bother to check these out) and six draught continental beers with the usual cider suspects. The various barmen who served me throughout my (gulp!) six hour visit were all terribly friendly and helpful and I didn't have a green or off half all day. Overall it was a totally bizarre set-up, but a most enjoyable day out quaffing! Recommended. TerrysJessica - 19 Nov 2008 12:47 |
| A cracking pub with unsurpassed Ales. The Landlord is a young scamp barely out of short trousers but boy does he know what he is doing! In my opinion this is the new breed, a pub that wants to serve excellent beer and great food to customers that deserve quality. They are not getting involved in this "Gasto" rubbish but focusing on what customers want. Everyone who has served me over the years has been friendly and professional - I had a slightly cloudy pint put on the bar and the bloke who served me drew MY attention to it, not the other way round. Suggested another ale of similar character, no mess no fuss AND they actually know what they are talking about. I have been in about 6 times over 8 years whilst visiting family in the area. There is a great mix of locals and new faces and the food has got better with each visit clearly influenced by a new chef. This is a must for any pub lover! LordKingston - 9 Sep 2008 15:16 |
| Great pub, great beer (on the whole!). I've had a couple of 'bottom of the barrel' pints but usually the ale is on top form. Food also good. I'd ignore stamford_drinkers review below, as he's obviously talking about the Swan and Rushes in Leicester!! To pop from the Loughborough pub to the Criterion (isnt a Criterion in Loughborough) would take over half an hour by car!! rjsdoyle - 26 Jun 2008 10:22 |
