| Used to go here about once a month for a drink and a Thai meal. All very reasonably priced and a friendly place. Juke box, real ale, Tv screens - I liked it. Then I went back after the refurb and was very disappointed. The pub atmosphere had gone and it is now more like a quite pricey restaurant. So I had a quick drink and left pretty sharpish. Ditto - bring back real pubs and get rid of this gastro crap. beehave - 1 Jan 2009 13:22 |
| What a huge, huge dissapointment. Following a close down and reburbishment All I can say is that this pub is pity-full shadow of its former self. The refit inside is actually quite pleasing to the eye but that dosn't make a pub. With regards to the details above, here is the new summary: NO TV's, NO FRUIT MACHINES, NO JUKEBOX in fact nothing you would perhaps describe as entertainment in the slightest. The quality of the ale is just passable. My biggest problem with The Swan is that after weeks of closure during the summer THE TOILETS ARE IN THE SAME DISGUSTING CONDITION THEY WERE BEFORE. This used to be a fun place for us to go to with my wife and kids on Sunday, especially with the play area at the back, away from the road. THE KIDS PLAY AREA IS GONE. To summarise, this pub is dull, lifeless , overpriced at Ł20 per a bottle of Pinot and above all EMPTY. I give them until January. Bring back real pubs. I'm sick of gastro wanna be's trying to rip us off!!! Vader - 14 Nov 2008 18:17 |
| Today 14th July 2008 - the Swan is closed for refurbishment due to new ownership. What a shame Karen did not tell the staff. My son is still owed his wages and at least the courtesy of some honesty about the situation. It leaves him without employment for the summer - THANKS. Solicitors letter on its way be prepared! calla - 14 Jul 2008 21:03 |
| Pride & Hogs Back T.E.A. in passable but not perfect condition. Half the pub is dressed as a restaurant (incl white linen!) and half as rustic woody bar, albeit with window blinds throughout. This is another pub that oddly believes that the future lies in Thai food, otherwise sarnies or paninis. It looked pretty good value, but is it just me that finds ‘traditional english pub’ & ‘thai food served here’ an impossible juxtaposition? Sound track had the ups of Roxy’s Hard Rain & downs of someone’s Superfreak. trainman - 5 Mar 2008 10:36 |
| Seems to have gone downhill a little, definitely not as busy. Difficult to understand what is being said when the staff talk polish behind the bar cityworker - 10 Oct 2007 14:01 |
