Henny Swan

About

The Henny Swan is a historic riverside pub and restaurant tucked into the heart of Sudbury’s charming village. Set in a 17th‑century building, it offers a warm, relaxed atmosphere, with three distinct seating areas: an indoor cosy dining room, an inviting terrace and a lush riverside garden that opens out to the scenic River Stour. The menu reflects local produce, with a wide range of beers on tap, an extensive wine selection, classic pub fare, vegetarian and vegan options, and a thriving brunch and dinner service. Across the summer the bar and garden serve light fare and snacks until 5pm, while the restaurant’s kitchen remains open for dine‑in customers up until peak times, with booking strongly advised for weekends to secure a table. Outside of the restaurant, the pub also offers gift vouchers and host special events such as Christmas celebrations, where the kitchen is closed but the bar remains open for drinks only. Boat enthusiasts can launch small craft directly off the riverside, and over the summer the venue rents out rowing boats, canoes and paddle boards. The Henny Swan also prides itself on accessibility, with a ramp to the one‑step restaurant entrance and fully accessible toilets. Whether you’re looking for a hearty meal, a relaxed afternoon tea, or a day out on the water, The Henny Swan provides a welcoming environment for families, couples and solo travelers alike. With opening hours from 11:30 am until 10:00 pm (Mon‑Thu), 11:30 am until 11:00 pm (Fri‑Sat) and 12:00 pm until 9:00 pm (Sun), the pub offers ample flexibility while the riverside garden closes at dusk.
