The Swan, 25 Park Rd, Bushey WD23 3EE

About This Pub

Ah, The Swan – what a lovely little find in Bushey! From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, this place really shines with its excellent selection of beers, especially those hand-pulled ales that folks rave about, all at prices that won't break the bank. The staff are spot on, always making sure you're settled in nicely, and it's got that warm, traditional charm that's just perfect for a quiet evening or a casual catch-up with mates. It's open seven days a week from around midday, which is handy, and being one of the few spots lit up on a Monday night makes it a real gem for those mid-week wind-downs. On the flip side, it's a bit hidden away among the terraced houses, so you might drive past without noticing, and the smaller size could feel a touch snug if you're in the mood for a bigger crowd or more room to spread out. All in all, if you're after a straightforward, welcoming pub experience with top-notch drinks and a relaxed atmosphere, I'd say give The Swan a go – it's got that authentic feel that's hard to beat.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with a great range of traditional ales that always taste fresh and are served at a fair price.
  • It's a proper welcoming spot with friendly staff who make you feel right at home, perfect for a relaxed chat and a quiet pint.
  • Being tucked away in a row of houses gives it that charming, hidden gem vibe, and it's one of the few places open on a Monday night in the area.
  • The atmosphere is lively yet chilled, with a traditional feel that's ideal for enjoying a good drink without any fuss.
Cons
  • It can be a bit tricky to spot unless you're walking or driving right by, so you might miss it if you're not familiar with the area.
  • The space is on the smaller side, which means it might feel a tad cosy on busier evenings and not everyone's cup of tea if you're after something more spacious.
  • Without a website, it's not the easiest to get all the details online, so you might need to pop in or call to check things out.

Lovely little chilled pub, you wouldn't know it's there unless you walk/drive past. In the middle of a row of terraced houses. Small and quiet and one of the only ones in the area open on a Monday night. Nice for a quiet pint.

A cracking pub. Brilliant beer, friendly service and lively atmosphere. Watch out for the dart board on the way to the gents.

What a tucked away gem. Great range of beers with at least 3 hand pull beers that I saw. Perfect spot for a pint and a chat, with a great range of snacks and a welcoming publican to settle you in!
