Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Swan Inn

Attractive village pub, so typical of the area (as is needing to be food led). Retains a multi-room layout, mostly set aside for those dining, but there is still a plainly furnished general seating area in front of the bar. All tastefully done, but the overall feel is perhaps a little sterile. However, there are a few wooden benches at the front and a beer garden beyond the conservatory at the back. Tribute and Butcombe Gold (£5.00) available from two of the three handpumps.

Oxfordshire Food pub of the Year 2020 and 2021. The Covid years. Everything you would expect from a gastro pub. A nice looking rear garden and some bench seating out front. The beer was very good, to be fair. Three handpulls on - Butcombe, Landlord and a perfect/chosen Best Bitter from North Cotswold Brewery. Saw Clarksons Hawkstone lager and cider on keg for the first time too. Mrs M slightly disappointed her flat white didnt come with a biscoff.

Remote pub - but very popular on a Sunday afternoon.

A very traditional frontage ,this pub is close to the River Windrush but not riverside and is known for it's high quality food.The interior is a nesting of small rooms with low ceilings and much exposed stone,while at the rear a large conservatory operates as a restaurant.The extensive garden gives lots of options,with diners also reserving the more substantial metal furniture outside the conservatory.There are some letting rooms in a side building.There is a small hamlet nearby but most punters will arrive by car with food their main aim,although walkers will also find this a useful stopping place.
Three real ale on my visit, Hook Norton Hooky (decent nick,not adventurous),Butcombe Bitter and a house IPA of unknown provenance. The food was much better than the ale choice,with premium pricing justified by quality.Enough rustic charm to overcome the gastro leaning.
