The Swan With Two Necks
About
The Swan With Two Necks is a family‑run, award‑winning pub nestled in the picturesque village of Pendleton, just outside Clitheroe in Lancashire. With two roaring hearths in the bar, a spacious dining room, and a sprawling beer garden, it offers diners a warm, traditional atmosphere that feels as convivial as it is historic. The menu showcases classic British fare – from Sunday roast beef to hearty stews – and the open fires lend a hint of that old‑world charm that real‑ale lovers and food‑enthusiasts adore. Open daily from 12 p.m. until midnight, the pub welcomes locals and tourists alike. While entry is free, the recommended 1‑hour visit – ideal for a relaxed pint, a family meal or a weekend catch‑up – earns its reputation for relaxed ambience. Bookings are advised, especially on busy nights and during special events, but a last‑minute request is usually possible. For a more intimate dinner for a larger group (8+ guests), a pre‑order is recommended to secure seating. Across its long history, The Swan With Two Necks has accrued numerous accolades, including Lancashire Pub of the Year 2023 and Camra Award‑Winning Pub. Patrons consistently praise its friendly staff, generous portions and cosy atmosphere, all of which combine to create a memorable local gathering point that appeals to families, foodies, and satisfied vacationers alike.
