About Swan
Victorian pub with classic decor and a British menu featuring pies, fish and chips and burgers.
A long, one-room pub which opens out towards the back and leads off an atmospheric, traffic-free street meaning that the outside seating area is relatively fume free. It is a busy, lively, popular venue with large screen TV (picture only), piped music, snacks and an extensive menu of pub standards served daily. 10% discount for CAMRA members.
The pub started to stock Old Peculier early in 2022 - encouraged by regulars who used to sup it at the Museum where it is no longer on sale. It is now a regular beer.
Weston's Old Rosie is no longer considered a "real cider" by CAMRA's defintion.

Came here 2 hours after getting to London. Customers and staff super friendly. Good food, beer, and cider. Great atmosphere. Definitely will be coming back.

Back from London. The Swan was definitely one of our most memorable eating experience. It felt so special! Everything was just perfect. The kindness of the owners, the atmosphere, the food. Best fish and chips - no contest (the mushy peas!!!!) and the pints. Most memorable. Thank you for all the delightfulness.

This restaurant is a gem! The food, service, and atmosphere are top-notch! I highly recommend stopping in for a pint and a bite to eat if you're in the area! Definitely have the steak and ale pie! Soooo good! And don't pass up on dessert! The sticky toffee pudding is the best I've ever had!

The fish and chips with fresh peas was absolutely wonderful. The coating on the fish was golden crispy, the fresh peas were perfect and we shared a luscious sticky toffee pudding for dessert. First time having Weston cider but it won't be the last. The staff was so friendly, kind and helpful. Highly recommend this place.

We had a wonderful time at The Swan.My husband and I used to work there a long time ago, in fact that is where we met. When Andy, the barman, heard our story he went out of his way to make us feel welcome. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and it helped that the food was good, too.
