The White Swan is a striking open-plan space, although it still has the heart of a true pub where beer drinkers are made most welcome. A selection of real ales are on offer for those who simply want a pint, while the food side of things delivers sharing plates of Italian antipasti or Greek mezze alongside wood-fired pizzas, pasta & spit-roast chicken, burgers or ginger beer-braised belly pork with roasted sweet potato & spiced jus. The White Swan succeeds because it manages to please everyone, although the fact that the kitchen can turn out decent dishes with ease & confidence obviously plays a big part in the venue's ongoing popularity.
