The Swan, Burnley

A good looking pub from the outside. Inside it's got great potential, but is a bit shabby and needs some TLC from Thwaites. Several small rooms with flag floors and there's a pool table and a table football, there's also a beer garden at the rear. Good music being played, although it was much too loud. Service was poor as the barman had to be told I was waiting, despite it being quiet. Asked for the Wainwright which was the only cask ale available. It went off halfway through being poured. The barman didn't know if they had anymore and didn't know how to change it even if they had. I ended up with a half of Carling at £1.50. This could be a really good pub, sadly, at the moment, it just isn't.

A bit of a dive but its friendly enough. Lots of Union Jacks hanging around which was nice. A Thwaites pub but not the best selection. Could do with a refurb.
