The Swan Inn, Uxbridge

The least pub like of the three Denham village houses,this is really a restaurant that sells a single real ale,Rebellion IPA on my trip.To the right all tables are set for dining,while I suppose you could pitch down on the left ,but again you will be surrounded by diners.A good looking exterior belies the souless dining interior.I was after a beer and can't comment on food quality.

A fine-looking traditional building - one of many in the very attractive centre of Denham village. Distinctly upmarket, it retains some traditional features but has been refurbished in a modern style with plain furniture and simple decor. The layout comprises two rooms which have been partially opened out to leave a 'L'-shape area, quite a large propertion of which is laid out for dining. Very pleasant rear split-level beer garden, part patio, part grass. Only two of the four handpumps were operational, offering Caledonian Flying Scotsman and a the local Marlow Rebellion IPA (£3.30).

This was pub number 2 on our visit to Denham, and like the Green Man, it has a large patio at the back that will be lovely in the summer. Choice was Courage - best I think, Wadworth 6x, and Marlow Rebellion IPA. The other pump was empty. Paid £3 for 2 halves of Rebellion. Food was finished here too. There were lots of wine bottles behind the bar and I felt it was more of a restaurant than a pub, but having said that, the beer was fine.
