The Swan retains many exposed beams with a pleasant airy atmosphere. The pub is divided into a drinkers bar area and a diners restaurant area. Three constantly changing cask beers are offered, very often from Mauldons, Oakham, Woodforde's, and Wolf Brewery. The pub is dog friendly, and family friendly (before 9pm), and offers live music (local musicians and open mic), quiz nights, bingo, poker, regular sports on TV, and BBQs in the garden.

A fire in 1781 destroyed a brew-house, stable, granary, old parlour and bed chambers. The pub was then closed for 10 years.
