About This Pub
Ah, The Swan In The Rushes, what a cracking spot it is! From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, this place really shines with its food – Merv's kitchen serves up some belting dishes like smoky wings and burgers that folks rave about, making it perfect for a bite after a long day. The drinks selection is spot on too, with a solid range of beers and ciders that hit the mark every time. It's got that traditional pub feel that's so inviting, where you can just settle in and enjoy the company. On the flip side, though, keep an eye on the wallet; things like the all-you-can-eat options might seem tempting but could stretch the budget if you're not savvy about it. And it's a shame there's no website to easily check what's on offer, but once you're there, it's all worth it for the warm welcome and those tasty treats. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable pub experience in Loughborough – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area!

Stopped off for one drink but 1 leads to 2 etc i ate here too and the food from Mervs kitchen was amazing. cheeky little Gem
Had such a great time at Swan in the Rushes! The food was amazing. Drinks were solid, vibes were chill, and the whole place just felt really welcoming.
Caught my eye when I saw the all you can eat wings on Saturday. Ended up splitting a wing platter instead with my wife because it worked out cheaper. The wings were coated in plenty of sauce and tasted delicious. It's a great place for people who enjoy a good cold cider. Ended up ordering a rack of ribs as well, which I wished had more sauce on like the ribs, but they were happy to give me more sauce on the side upon request. The fries were a bit cold in places so it kind of might put me off on ordering them again. I ordered a homemade cookie sandwich which came with massive cookies and not as much icecream as I hoped for. The environment is calm and quiet but I would have liked a little music to liven up the place. Will probably return again for the wings and cider.
Great team of staff! Good selection of beers on tap and real ale, proper traditional pub setting. Great food from Merv’s kitchen, recommend the ribs and wings!
We went to try the new food by Mervs kitchen. Lots of choice on the menu. We chose a cheese and bacon hot dog, Mervs smoked cheese n bacon burger both with smokey cheesy bacon fries. Absolutely delicious 🤌 all cooked to perfection. The pub has a selection of drinks to choose from. I would suggest to book a table if you are eating and it can get busy. Definitely going back for all you can eat wings. 😋
