This characterful thatched pub has two main drinking rooms & various outside seating areas. Unusually the pub does not face the road junction but instead overlooks a small access road & a large garden. Parts of the pub date from the mid-16th century, possibly earlier.
The Swan re-opened 10 Sep 2022 after seven years derelict. It has been renovated by the new owners and looks to have a bright future.
The Swan (along with its beer garden) has been designated as an Asset of Community Value.
Early in 2023 a new village shop was opened on-site.
