When he left to go to the restroom and come back an employee put his hand on my husband's chest and tried to keep him from walking in the room and back to our table. The bar was not closed and many were still seated so I can't even say he was trying to ask him not to enter because they were closed. Even still, he could have used his words and instead chose to touch him. This really put a damper on the evening. The ambiance is really nice. I love the space. The decor and lighting make for a great evening experience. Outside of The Library, other Lanesborough employees were extremely friendly, with one even happily taking our photo.

The Swan is a classic country pub with everything you would hope for - beams, roaring log fires and…read morea warm welcome from the friendly landlord and landlady and the bar staff. This pub has loads of character. The food is classic pub food, at good prices and a high standard (home made, not delivered and microwaved) available in the day and evenings. There is a separate function room at the back where live music events (bands and a regular jam night every Sunday) are held. This gives the bands enough space and keeps them out of the way of the main pub for those who want to drink or eat without music . The Swan gets some great bands and people come from far and wide for these. There is a car park round the back. Well worth a visit for a meal, the live music or a pint in lovely traditional surroundings.

The staff are always friendly, they serve a good pint of Pride and they sell Pork Scratchings made at the local butchers. So many pubs these days have given up on the fatty pub classic, let alone go to the trouble of sourcing locally made scratchings. The jukebox is nearly as old as the pub and requires local knowledge to operate (the blank buttons at the bottom of the keypad rotate the "music sticks"). There's a tip-top pub quiz every Wednesday - but if team eXtreme are playing (our team) - might as well save your entry fee. Know what I mean sunshine.
