The Swan Inn, North Warnborough

I visited this pub on Wednesday 27th Jan 2010 at lunchtime (arrived at 12:45) with two friends, having cycled the Basingstoke Canal to reach it.

We were surprised to see that the car park was completely empty, and even more surprised on entering to find that the entire pub was empty.

The interior was cold and grubby, eventually a member of staff arrived, and on enquiring as to the availability of ales, we were informed that the only available pint was Courage Best.

We left very quickly, considering that this pub is a free house, there is a brewery within a few hundred yards, also the Hogs Back Brewery is very close, I was very disappointed. For a pub with this location and appearance, I would expect much more.
