The Swan Inn, Stone

Steve C left this review about The Swan Inn

The Swan Inn has a central bar counter that supports premium and craft keg alongside Carling and nine hand pumps that were drawing Acorn Brewery’s Yorkshire Pride, Coach House Brewing’s Old Priory, Wily Fox Brewery’s Dark Flagon Rum Porter, Vocation’s Heart & Soul, Beartown Brewery’s Affinity, Derby Brewing’s Dashingly Dark and Tropical, Oakham’s Citra and Lymestone Brewery’s Pounamu. I opted for a pint of Tropical and found a free table in the square seating area to the left. The pub was busy so I ended up sat at a small table in the corner where I noted that the entire old beamed ceiling is covered with old pump clips. There was also a real log fire in the exposed brick fireplace which added to the atmosphere. Unfortunately my pint had turned, so I took it back to the bar and it was swapped for a Vocation, no questions asked. Now being mobile I took this opportunity to sit in the right-hand side of the pub where there’s more seating, including a long table that sits along the rear wall behind the U-shaped right-hand side of the bar counter. There was some background music playing, the likes of Mumford & Sons, which I don’t mind. Out the back is a decent beer garden, hopefully it will stop raining at some point this year so that it can be enjoyed. I liked this pub and will certainly return if ever in Stone again.
