Swan

At The Swan, one steps into a Victorian era aura that charms with its authenticity and warmth. This quintessential English pub offers a menu steeped in British tradition—with comfort dishes like steak and ale pie and delights such as the Sunday roast making regular appearances. The cod sandwich or burger and chips have their loyal fans, but it's the crisply battered fish and chips paired with fresh peas that often steals the culinary spotlight. The drink selection is diverse and commendable, featuring everything from excellently curated cask ales to an impressive array of Scottish whiskeys. Service here is stellar, with the likes of Andy and Bart providing attentive hospitality that enhances the experience. Nestled off the bustle of main thoroughfares, it maintains an endearing local charm, proving just as inviting for its al fresco seating as for the cozy indoor dining space. Add to this a reputation for luscious desserts, especially the sticky toffee pudding, and The Swan stands as a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic English dining experience.
