| We found the Swan With Two Necks to be a really good pub, but not quite our favourite pub of the day. That honour went to the Victoria in Great Harwood. However, I have scored both 8/10. This pub was runner up in the CAMRA National Pub of the year awards and was rated the best in England. I can certainly see why. It's in an idyllic village location overlooking a narrow stream where they had apparently held a duck racing competition 2 days previous to our visit. The inside is small, with only a handful of tables. However, they were well staffed and offered good service. There seemed to be a clutch of regulars on hand and a sign was indicating how many customers had recently joined CAMRA and were benefitting from 20p discounts on each pint. Mighty Oak Oscar Wilde, Phoenix Wobbly Bob, Goose Eye Chinook Blonde & Copper Dragon Golden Pippin were on. Blue Monkey BG Sips was added to the selection whilst we were eating and 2 real ciders were also available - Westons Traditional Scrumpy & Ribble Valley Gold. On the subject of food, we found the portions to be large. My toasted black pudding was very nice and was followed by a huge cheese and onion pie with separate dishes for dauphinois potatoes and vegetables. Not many meals beat me. But this one did, and it was also good value for money. The pub cat is reputedly the oldest pub cat in the country and it managed to totter out on its 25 year old legs to visit us. Toilets outside at the rear are fine. The pub is a real credit to the landlord and landlady who clearly get heavily involved in the day-to-day running of the bar and the kitchen. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, but I have to say I'm slightly surprised at the 2nd place award it achieved. Nevertheless, well done and keep up the good work! blue_scrumpy - 7 Jun 2012 21:31 |
| Really enjoyed my visit here. Beer quality excellent, with a good choice, and food equally so. Possibly a little old-fashioned for some tastes. Closes at 2-30 pm lunchtimes so after our walk we were too late for another pint. Would be happy to back any time. TheGuiltyOne - 6 Jun 2012 18:00 |
