This pub has loads of character. The food is classic pub food, at good prices and a high standard (home made, not delivered and microwaved) available in the day and evenings. There is a separate function room at the back where live music events (bands and a regular jam night every Sunday) are held. This gives the bands enough space and keeps them out of the way of the main pub for those who want to drink or eat without music . The Swan gets some great bands and people come from far and wide for these. There is a car park round the back. Well worth a visit for a meal, the live music or a pint in lovely traditional surroundings.

The staff are always friendly, they serve a good pint of Pride and they sell Pork Scratchings made at the local butchers. So many pubs these days have given up on the fatty pub classic, let alone go to the trouble of sourcing locally made scratchings. The jukebox is nearly as old as the pub and requires local knowledge to operate (the blank buttons at the bottom of the keypad rotate the "music sticks"). There's a tip-top pub quiz every Wednesday - but if team eXtreme are playing (our team) - might as well save your entry fee. Know what I mean sunshine.

A decent selection of beers, this is a Fuller's pub so I went with their Ascot tercentary golden ale. For mains, my friend had the lasagne. Extremely hot, he said it was quite good. I saw lots of meat in there and the cheese was grilled on top. I had the green Thai curry, which was vegetarian. With too much rice, it was also very hot. I think they probably cook the stuff before and then microwave when it's ordered but I'm not sure. The place started to fill up as we ate and the parking area was completely filled by the time we left. They also have a few tables outside.
