Swan Hotel, Wilmslow

It was a nice place once, but now seems well worth avoiding. More specifically, we currently have an Italian postgraduate staying with us, well over 18 years old. He has just tried to go for Sunday lunch. He was dressed in smart casuals, completely sober, but the less than charming young blond male (with spectacles) at the bar refused point blank either to serve him, or to give any reason why he was so refusing. Our student speaks perfectly good English, but with a strong Italian accent and one does wonder whether this was racism, or just ignorance.
