NOTICE: Venues need your support more than ever during the ongoing coronavirus crisis. At this time, hospitality venues in England are not allowed to open but can operate takeaway and delivery services, providing that any takeaway alcohol is pre-ordered. Details of takeaway and delivery services may appear on this page if we become aware of them.
Before visiting any venue, we strongly advise you to check its website or social media, or get in touch with them first to avoid disappointment.
If you see any details here that need updating, please let us know by submitting feedback on the pub.
Updates
Takeaways available Friday & Saturday evenings. See the pub website for menus.
The Swan Inn building is closed as we cannot comply safely with the government's social distancing recommendations. The Swan is an ancient building with many narrow passageways and was never designed to allow for social distancing.
However, we offer fine hot and cold restaurant food to take away.
We take bookings for "The Window at the Swan" on the release of our menu every Tuesday. We give every customer a safe, five-minute take away slot to collect food on Friday and Saturday evenings. For further information please check out our website www.woolpitswan.co.uk, call us on 01359 240482 or email us at info@woolpitswan.co.uk.
