About This Pub
Ah, The White Swan – it's one of those classic pubs that can really grow on you if you're in the area. I reckon it's got that warm, community spirit going for it, with the staff being absolute stars who make everyone feel welcome, and the entertainment, especially when DJ Red's on the decks, adds a real spark of fun and energy. The prices are just right too, so you can settle in for a chat without worrying about the bill. On the downside, though, it's a bit disappointing on the food front – you're stuck with basic snacks, so if you're after a hearty meal, you'll have to look elsewhere. I've heard a few stories about the landlady having a off day, which isn't ideal, and there was that mention of a dodgy smell that could turn you off. All in all, it's worth popping in for the good times and the locals' banter, but go in with your eyes open – it's got its charms, but it's not without a few flaws that might make you think twice for a return visit.
