Friendly pub with a range of real ales from Pentrich, Leatherbritches, Titanic and Nottingham breweries, plus Bass. We chose the Pentrich Falconers Flight which was fine.

Alan Winfield left this review about The Steam Packet
The Steam Packet used to be a Shipstones tied house.
This pub is on the main road and in the middle of Swanwick there are still two rooms here i went in the lounge which is at the back of the pub this was a medium sized room that was fairly comfortable and the landlady was friendly.
There was a decent choice of beers on here i had a drink of Batemans XB which was very nice the other beers were Black Sheep bitter, Adnams bitter and Brains SA Gold.
I thought this was a fairly decent pub to have a few drinks in
