The Swan In The Rushes, Loughborough

A cracking pub with unsurpassed Ales. The Landlord is a young scamp barely out of short trousers but boy does he know what he is doing! In my opinion this is the new breed, a pub that wants to serve excellent beer and great food to customers that deserve quality. They are not getting involved in this "Gasto" rubbish but focusing on what customers want. Everyone who has served me over the years has been friendly and professional - I had a slightly cloudy pint put on the bar and the bloke who served me drew MY attention to it, not the other way round. Suggested another ale of similar character, no mess no fuss AND they actually know what they are talking about.

I have been in about 6 times over 8 years whilst visiting family in the area. There is a great mix of locals and new faces and the food has got better with each visit clearly influenced by a new chef.

This is a must for any pub lover!
