Previously a 19th century coaching house and an imposing building on the A325, half a mile south of the town centre. A single long bar serves a modern decorated lounge bar area for informal eating or drinking. A dedicated dining restaurant area is located in a screened area to one side. A function room/ area is also available for private full or partial hire. The external patio provides well-spaced high and low table seating, well screened and presented with some parasol heating and external lighting. The Swan holds live music alternate weekends, quiz night alternate Wednesdays and comedy nights alternate Sundays. A single TV is available with sports from terrestrial service.

Ale choice is 2 from the 4 hand pumps offering one from the Portobello range and one from its guest list. During autumn/ winter months a third hand pump is often introduced. Note that there is a significant premium charged on half pints. Food menu offers good choice, quality, and table service in both the bar and restaurant. The pub is owned by the local airfield operator which also owns the 4-star Aviator hotel, a few hundred yards away. The pub is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

Next door is the "FAST" Museum, the Farnborough Air Sciences Trust, a must for those interested in aviation history. A 5-minute walk away is the historic RAE buildings and the restored iconic R101 airship hangar frame.

Historic Interest

Building dates from 1876, has been an inn/pub continuously since 1896.
