The Swan is a traditional friendly community pub built on a busy site by a crossroads which originally had a pub as far back as the 17th century. The main bar is L-shaped and serves a carpeted area decorated in grey blue and cream with wooden panelling and TVs showing sporting fixtures. A second bar is geared up for functions and music events with its black decor, subdued lighting and wooden flooring. This leads into the conservatory, which is normally used for dining.

Two to three cask ales are usually available from Harvey's, Sharp's and St Austell. Keg beer range includes Beavertown.

Historic Interest

Records show that a building has been on this site since the 15th C., originally called Smethes, standing by a junction called Norwood Cross within what was originally the village of Wickham Street. By 1745, this was a coaching inn before being renamed as the Swan Hotel in the 1790s. The current building dates from the 1840s and is now Grade II listed. As well as being an inn, this also served as a community hub, acting as a public meeting place, a centre for the distribution of parish benefits to the poor, a shelter for the poor and the sick as well as a venue for meetings of the local vestry. A great elm tree called the "Stocks Tree" stood outside in the middle of the High Street, marking the centre of the village until 1935.
