Bookings for food is advisable as we do have less tables than normal due to social distancing. A warm welcome awaits you at our traditional country pub and restaurant situated in 6 acres of wonderful rural countryside within the small village of Whiston, 2 miles from Penkridge in Staffordshire. The Swan has been a traditional country freehouse since 1593 and has something to offer everyone.

A wide and large selection of Real Ale, Ciders & Perrys are sourced from all over the UK. Enjoy a drink or bar snack in our traditional bar with beams, tiled floor and open fireplace that is always roraring on those cold winter days and evenings.

About
Report
That pub was The Swan at Whiston situated in 6 acres of grounds at the edge of the village. That man was James Davies who became known to all as Jim, a well known and respected landlord. A lot of hard work went into building up the business as it is today with Jim in the early days, going off to do his daytime job with Severn Trent then returning home to run the pub in the evening, often finishing in the early hours of the morning.
Bar
Report
The Swan has a traditional bar popular with the local farmers, cyclists, walkers and real ale enthusiasts. Tiled floors, exposed beams and an open fireplace help create a atmosphere whilst the selection of real ales, ciders and perrys is one of the largest in the area. The bar also has a sporting tradition with a pool table, darts board, dominoes, cards and TV for live sporting occasions.
Food
Report
Due to demand we extended the dining facilities a few years ago with an extension to provide a separate restaurant area adjacent to the lounge. The restaurant can cater for 40 covers with a variety of flexible seating arrangements. The decorations and theme fit in perfectly with the rest of the pub providing a traditional english country restaurant.
Wine Menu
Report
We have a varied selection of white, red and rose wines as well as sparkling wine and champagne, mostly available by the glass, as indicated below. Served by 175ml / 250ml / Bottle - where indicated. Citrus notes on the nose, with fresh lime and lemon on the palate, accompanied by a riper hint of pineapple, and mouthwatering acidity.
Garden
Report
Enjoy a relaxing drink and bite to eat in our patio area or beer garden surrounded by beautiful flowers and bushes. The beer garden is accessible next to the bar entrance and provides the perfect setting for an afternoon or early evening drink when the sunshine is out. We also have an aviary in the garden with a selection of birds including: Budgerigars, Cockatiels, Parakeets and Bantams, as well as a chicken pen.
