Worcestershire’s Best Gastro Pub

The Swan Inn

The Hanley Swan Inn, located in the picturesque village of Hanley Swan in Worcestershire, has a rich history that reflects the charm of the English countryside. Dating back several centuries, the pub has served as a central hub for the community, evolving from its original function as a coaching inn to the beloved gastro pub it is today.

Historically, the building is thought to have roots in the 17th century, which is not uncommon for many village pubs in this region. It was initially a resting point for travellers and their horses, benefitting from its strategic location near major routes. Over the years, the inn has undergone various renovations and adaptations, allowing it to keep pace with changing social and economic dynamics.

The Hanley Swan Inn has retained its quintessential character, featuring traditional wooden beams, cosy fireplaces, and a welcoming atmosphere. The pub prides itself on serving hearty meals and a selection of real ales, maintaining a focus on local produce and suppliers. As a business that values community engagement, events and gatherings have long been an integral part of its history, fostering a strong sense of camaraderie among patrons.
