Good food, extremely friendly staff, very good beer, lovely rooms, beautiful countryside.

We went couple of time with my partner to this pub and were always highly satified. They organic beef is absolutly the best we ever tried and always cooked at perfection. They were able to do a perfect rare steak to please a French person, not so easy ; ) We tried the seafood risotto last time suggested by Tom,... More

A lovely inn, parts of which were 17th Century, set in the quietness of the country surrounded by pheasants, sheep etc. The pub has an organic food shop on site and all the meals in the pub are sourced...

First impression was literally a warm welcome: with an open fire and some friendly chat with the staff and other punters. This was followed by a tasty ale, apparently brewed nearby by a "one man band". The barman had no trouble persuading me to go... More

We parked our car at the Swan Inn, Inkpen at 09.40 and set off for the seven mile walk which includes the steep scarp of Inkpen hill and lovely farmland and woods. The walk took us 3 hours and when we arrived back at the Swan Inn we were ready for our meal. The landlord Bernard was most accommodating with... More

We stopped off at the Swan for a much needed lunch and some shelter from a very cold day's walking around beautiful Inkpen. The staff were very friendly and the food delicious! Just right to power us up to Combe Gibbet in the afternoon in the snow!
