| Visited on a Saturday afternoon, pretty quiet, but I think that the Grand National was on the telly in the back. Decent pint of Best Mates Vicars daughter served pleasantly in good condition. The Juke Box was a bit loud with only a couple of others in the bar but I enjoyed the pub in a rugged sort of way. I'd go back when I'm next in Wantage. imdownthepub - 6 Apr 2008 07:58 |
| Duke Box is spelt with a "J". Indeed the Lochness Monster has left a vacant milk churn. Occasionally has some interesting real ale. Cocktails are their speciality. Don't get too giddy in the Swan or you may have to deal with the rather large Landlord. Well run pub, give it a try. pubinspectors - 31 Jul 2007 15:04 |

| Best pub around by miles. Happy hour is 4-7 and this means £2 for any 1 shot + coke / lemonade or £2 for and pint of beer, lager or stout. £3 for any coctail. Juke Box has some great tracks including Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Guns and Roses, Kid Rock, Anthrax, Motley Crue, Quiet Riot, Judas Priest, Scorpions, Motorhead, Clash and much more. The 'Happy Hour' crew are great. Stewie, Steve, Les, Myself, King Alfred (Ian) and the rest of the bunch are to be expected to be spotted at 4:00PM for opening. ...4:00PM can be a long time to wait mind, I'd rather the pun opened before, but hey, they're doing well as they are. The back bar can get full of 'casual' customers, and I expect the upstairs will be full of the 'Blakes' lot. The front bar is the 'rock n roll' side of the bar. At weekends it can get packed, but knowing everyone in Wantage helps. Sometimes people can dress the Swan up, but at heart it always has been and always will be a rocker bar. Crisps are free too!!! ...Can't wait till they start serving grub. If you're visiting Wantage CHECK OUT THE SWAN! Where you like some crazy coctail or a spirt or lager, stout or ale, this pub will cater for your needs. -RAD- Lucifer_Chapel - 15 May 2007 10:18 |
