When I told everyone I was going to Worcester for the weekend from Edinburgh, I got a whole lot of…read more"WHY?"s. Well, here's one reason. Jerk. The outdoor seating at The Firefly... on an evening in England where the day had been 26 degrees (got Celsius!) made me think that maybe, just maybe, if all of England was perfect like this everyday they would still rule the world. The colonies would want to be owned again (sans slavery and oppression etc.). But I digress, that shit will never happen... so we need to ignore this ideal of a perfect England, and just take the pub as a perfect pub. Reasons for perfection: (see photos) The front room: fireplace, antique chandelier, old tyme-y lampshades, big red velvet couches, a moose head over the fireplace and ARE YOU F**KING SERIOUS - Brooklyn Lager. My favorite beer in the world. And I know I am an exaggerator, and I know I say "my favorite (insert something here) ever" all the time. But for real, this is the greatest tasting lager of the entirety of the history of beer (in my humble opinion). The downstairs: Apparently they have bands down here, they didn't this night... but it was a proper looking porn-like lounge area with giant sofas and a good looking stage where you could definitely see some mediocre bands up really close before they sell out. Sometimes, not often, but sometimes, the bands play outside. Yes, I said it. The MFing outdoor garden: I have this friend, his name is Jack Johnson, maybe you've heard of him. Maybe (probably) you're sick of him because most of his songs sound alike. It's also pretty likely that you'd give anything for his life, I know I would. If I had minimal talent like him I would totally move to Hawaii, surf and sing songs about making pancakes for girls and playing my guitar all day while working on my tan in a hammock. But again, I digress - why don't you guys stop me when I do that? - The garden here looks like an old fashioned surf lounge where guys with long hair (rebels!) and tattoos (scandal!) sit with beers and talk about waves. Jack, would fit in here... and I could even stand to listen to Banana Pancakes (once, just once) while I am sitting on the couches with my feet up next to the lanterns LOVING my totally chill life. Worcester is a two thumbs up all you naysayers! So there.

My only qualm with the place was that they were out of half of their food menu items when we got there. That doesn't change the fact that what we did get was delicious beer and some great soup.

We quickly perused the menu (skipped lunch so we were famished!) and placed our dinner order. The food took a while to arrive but we were enjoying our drinks and chatting, after several hours in the car driving from our home in the North. Everything was warm and tasty, and I really loved the vegetable variety. The cod and salmon pie was a bit dry and I could only think they must have forgotten the hollandaise as I didn't detect any sauce. Still delicious and stuffed full with fish! Only complaint would be the really dirty seats. Easy enough to order a few chairs or have them recovered.

This is the second time I've stayed at The Swan, the first being last June. I wasn't impressed with…read moreit then and gave it a (generous) 2-star review on Trip Adviser. Now, however, it is under new management (again) and has improved considerably. It's difficult to know how to grade it, and I really wanted to give it 4 stars as I did enjoy my stay, but on the other hand.... 'meh, I've experienced better', which would be 2 stars. So I've compromised and given it three stars this time. Let's start with the rooms. These are lovely, really nicely decorated and appointed, and quite spacious. Each has a fruit theme, and this time I was in the Pear room. The bed was comfortable and warm, and the en-suite was large with a bath and shower. The only minor downside was the small amount of black mould in the grout of the tiles around the shower. It's so unsightly and really spoiled the overall impression of the room, and it's not difficult to get rid of with the appropriate cleaner. This room was also located at the back of the inn and was over the cooling plant, so there was an almost subliminal vibration that even extended to the bed at night, making it difficult to get to sleep. It was barely noticeable at a conscious level, but subconsciously your body is expecting an earthquake or other imminent disaster and refuses to relax. The cooler did switch off eventually so I did manage some sleep. It's an old building dating from the 18th Century, so you have to expect that there will be some stuff like this going on and just deal with it. But I think I will ask for a different room next time. On to the bar and restaurant - the bar area is great, very cosy with old timbered beams everywhere - it does look the part. They have a good selection of ales on tap, including one of my favourites 'Doom Bar.' There's a huge beer garden outside with children's play area, and it's ideally located in the centre of the village next to the green, so there's plenty of space to spread out in hot weather. It's a popular place with locals and is well-supported, but then again it is really the only game in town in this small village. The food menu has been downsized since my last visit, which is no bad thing really as they clearly could not support the size of menu that they used to front. Now it's more basic pub fare - fish and chips, steak pies, burgers and the like - and although it's not going to win any prizes in the haute cuisine stakes, it's certainly more manageable and is good homely grub. I had a wild mushroom soup, which I suspect may have had a canned variety as a base, followed by a chick pea and sweet potato korma, which came with rice and a very small nan bread, and was very tasty. I was just glad that they did have a few veggie dishes to choose from. The dessert was a rather interesting-looking apple and blueberry pie, and it really was a pie! It looked like a large pork pie and came with a separate jug of custard - delicious. The new staff were lovely and very friendly - they've only been running it for 6 weeks and are clearly keen to do their best for the place. I wish them well. So well done The Swan - I'm glad to see improvements in the place and may it continue to do so.
