Graham Coombs left this review about Swan & Salmon

A swish modern place incorporating a large and rather flash restaurant area overlooking the navigation and lock behind. There is more casual seating round the bar area, as well as a row of tables on the waterside behind. I was expecting the beers to be pricey but actually they were comparable to other places in town - the cask ales were two from Beermats although that sampled was not in great condition. I can't say it did much for me generally but the restaurant and waterside sections had some merit.

Strongers . left this review about Swan & Salmon

Swan & Salmon is a large and long riverside pub with an L-shaped bar area up one end and a raised dining area at the other. Stairs in the bar area lead up to prime seating in the small lounge on the second floor. The two hand pumps in amongst the premium keg were both drawing Beermats Brewing’s ales I went for Summat Blonde which was well poured by the cheeky chappy barman. I also decided to have a chicken burger which was poor quality for the price. I think I’ll walk past next time I’m in the area.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Swan & Salmon

It has reverted to an earlier name, but I'm not sure what else has changed in this part-old, part-extended riverside building. The two main seating / dining areas are on slightly different levels, but both effectively on the first floor overlooking the Trent but appearing to be ground floor on the approach from the town. Two real ales on handpump: Doom Bar and Castle Rock Harvest Pale.
