Another attractive Northamptonshire pub set in the village of Holcot, not too far from Pitsford Reservoir.
A small car park at the front contained a small minibus belonging to the pub, which apparently ferries locals to and from the pub for free during the week. I've not seen something like this for a while. So, all credit to the ingenuity.
The landlord said hello to us in the car park as we arrived. But this was another local pub with a fairly poor beer selection. 3 national beers awaited us - Morland Old Speckled Hen, Timothy Taylor Landlord & Butcombe Original. There was no real cider.
With just a couple of other locals at the bar, the pub was fairly quiet. Rugby was showing on the TV. We stayed in the right-hand side of the pub. Although it seemed like there was another room or two on the other side of the pub.

Since new owner took over a couple of months ago, it's not clear whether the Swan wants to be a gastro pub or a local pub. £6.95 for ham, egg and chips is a bit OTT on a weekday lunchtime. Good selection of well kept beers, odd mix of furniture, but with the loss of the bar to what is now a restaurant (with the wooden beams now painted lilac!), it isn't quite a pub any more.
