Swan, Almondsbury

Ignore any reviews prior to 2012 as the Swan is now under new ownership. It seems to be putting itself forward as a cheaper alternative to the Interchange Hotel for businessmen staying overnight.
As a pub it is a bit lacking in atmosphere but had a very good pint of Wychwood Dirty Tackle on the night I visited, and under the three pound mark at two ninety five.
The only sour note came when I finished off with a half, gave the barmaid one pound fifty and was told that it was not enough.
Under three pounds for a pint but one pound seventy five for a half - a twenty five pence premium for having an extra half. If they do this, then what other dodges do they get up to?
