The Swan, Farnborough

I would have to disagree with some of the previous comments and think that the Swan is exactly the type of place Farnborough has been crying out for, a good quality place to go for a drink or something to eat. The food is excellent and all cooked in house making it different from the boring chain food served by other pubs in the area. I have visited the pub on a number of occasions following its refurbishment, and admit on my first visit there were a few problems with speed of service, however this has vastly improved and waiting time has not been a problem on recent visits. I think this has been largely down to them changing their chef

As for the ales, I have not had a problem with them and whilst they have London Pride as a standard house ale, they consistently change the two guest ales and I have seen a number of local breweries such as Twickenham and Hogs Back in recent weeks. The friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere also make it very welcoming unlike what some of the previous comments suggest!
