About

The Swan sits on a gentle rise above the town of Swineford, just a ten‑minute drive from the shops and cafés of Bath. From its modern, welcoming façade a wide river‑bank garden spills out towards the River Avon, a favourite spot for both daytime picnics and sunset drinks. Inside, the pub offers a cosy bar, spacious indoor dining and a family‑friendly ambience that encourages everyone from children to seniors to relax. The menu is a celebration of local produce and British pub classics – think Bath‑Ales beer-battered cod, triple‑cooked chips, shepherd’s pie, and a rotating selection of Sunday roasts. Pets are happily carried into the bar and garden. Whether you’re looking for a hearty lunch, a quick pint, or a cozy night in, The Swan delivers genuine home‑made food, a friendly atmosphere and an inviting riverside view. Beyond the food, the venue hosts regular events such as quiz nights on Monday evenings, burger nights on Thursday evenings and special pie‑and‑pint nights on Friday for a modest £19.95. The pub also offers catering and event space for private functions, including a marquee that accommodates up to 85 standing guests, making it a popular choice for birthdays, weddings and corporate gatherings.
