| Now under new management, The Swan has returned to being an excellent traditional pub. The Kent's Best and Spitfire are in fine form, the menu features reasonably-priced traditional pub grub, Sky Sports has returned and there's regular live music of varying types. A winner.

| A poster in the window is advertising an open day at the brewery (in Faversham, Kent) for those interested in becoming tenants, The Swan being one of Shepherd Neame's pubs available. It's still lively on live music nights and the eating side seems steady. The cask ale is very consistent. JDchaser - 11 Jun 2011 13:51 |
| The Swan has had a bit of a make over in recent times. It's gone from downright dreary and uninviting to nearly up-to-date and much more acceptable. Good selection of beers at good prices (considering the area). Very pleasant for a drink with friends and they even have an outside area which is perfectly acceptable. The food looks good although haven't sampled it. People I know like it although it's a wee bit expensive. Much improved and worth a visit. pj_andrew - 16 Mar 2011 15:59 |
| I last commented on this place a couple of years back when I used to live in the area and it was not complimentary. Now however I am glad to say that I have been back a couple of times recently for Sunday lunch and I must say that my opinion has changed. The new landlord has done a good job of restoring some life to the pub. You now see people in there when you walk by. The food is excellent and not overly pricey. The pool table and quiz machine have gone and to be honest, I enjoy a game of pool and a play on the machine however I realise why the landlord hs made this decision because he doesnt want the sort that used to come in the pub to play pool and use the fruity. Plus if you want these things you can always head up the road to the Kings Head. The only thing that is a shame about this pub is the apparent lack of Sky Sports. I used to enjoy having a beer and watching the footy on a Sunday afternoon. Also when I was in there last time the TV's were on with Sky News showing. Not sure that is necessary. Either show the sport or switch the TV's off. All in all a decent boozer 6 out of 10. I woulsvy given it a 7 or 8 if they had the footy on BeerGutt - 26 Oct 2010 14:12 |
| The Swan has become somewhat of a live music venue of late with a variety of sounds on a frequent basis: classic rock covers, rock 'n' roll, jazz, some country rock, blues and even a smattering of pop. All this with Sky and gourmet grub too. It's rarely quiet now. RealMcCoy - 10 Oct 2010 11:11 |
