The Old Swan Inn

About

The Old Swan Inn, a cherished 12‑century public house nestled in the heart of Llantwit Major, has been a cornerstone of village life for centuries. Its timber‑framed façade, soaring oak beams and crackling hearth create an inviting ambience, while a generous beer garden welcomes guests to enjoy the lush surrounding countryside. Inside, a relaxed dining room seats 40 and offers a seasonal menu that blends traditional Welsh pub fare with contemporary twists—from slow‑roasted beef brisket to vegan curries. Guests can also savour a variety of local ales and a curated wine list. The Swan’s kitchen operates from 2:30 pm to 5:00 pm Monday‑Friday, closing early for dinner to focus on craft drinks, but the bar remains open all day. Sunday dinner is available until 5 pm, allowing families and couples to unwind after a long week. With over 9,000 locals and visitors alike, the Old Swan Inn is a must‑visit for anyone seeking authentic hospitality, historic charm and a welcoming eat‑and‑drink experience in Wales.
