Village Led Phase
Community Operation
OPENING SOON!
All the behind the scenes hard work from our team of volunteers has really paid off! We are nearly ready to reopen the doors for drinks only!
It's fair to say The Swan needed a bit of TLC, but we’ve been transforming the old girl to make sure she's in tip top condition for when the pints start flowing again.
Inside the pub is looking fresh and bright, just a few more jobs to do and we’ll be ready to open doors and welcome you all back in.
The garden has been transformed from overgrown jungle to an open, tidy and welcoming space and it’s still a work in progress! Even the garden furniture has been lovingly restored, oiled and ready for use.
All of this is being made possible by a massive effort of a team of dedicated volunteers! They’re all determined to make sure our quintessentially English pub stays open for them - and for pub-goers from Wiltshire and beyond. Our volunteers will even be pouring your pints, so please be patient and kind!
This is all a temporary solution so The Swan can remain open for the remaining summer and perhaps a bit longer. We still need a longer term solution in finding the right tenant to come in and revitalise our pub to its former glory days. If you think you could help with this, please contact swanenford@gmail.com
We look forward to welcoming you very soon!
The Swan
Our community hub
The Swan has stood for over 350 years in our little village of Enford which sits on the River Avon, just 7 miles north of Stonehenge. It has seen many changes in this time as the village has grown from a small farming community to a popular home for locals and commuters alike. When you visit us, we take pleasure in sharing this heritage with you. The photos and postcards you'll see in the pub are copies of ones loaned to us by villagers who have lived in and around Enford for many years or from keen collectors of local history memorabilia. Some even date back to the late 1800s.
As the villagers watched their local bakery, garage, post office and shop disappear over time, they were determined to keep the pub as the village's last remaining amenity. In fact, the building is still owned by a small group of villagers who are as passionate as we are about our unique public house.
This is where you find The Swan today. At the heart of its community. We serve locals not just from Enford but from the surrounding hamlets of Coombe, Compton and East Chisenbury as well as the larger villages such as Netheravon, Upavon and Durrington.
Our Grade II listed building has historic significance and is in a conservation area which runs through our pretty village to the south and north. Swans nest just across the road and are often seen with their cygnets from Enford bridge which links the village to the main A345. The National Cycle Network also runs directly through Enford and we back onto Salisbury Plain which is a popular walking spot. We are popular with cyclists, walkers and tourists as well as villagers who all blend together to create a special atmosphere unique to The Swan.

The team are looking forward to bringing you lots of new events in the future!

SAVE OUR SWAN!!
Dear Friends and Followers of The Swan
We wanted to give you all an update in regards to what’s been going on over the last couple of weeks and the efforts being undertaken to re-open The Swan. There has been quite a lot going on behind the scenes since Hannah’s exit at the end of June.
A volunteer led buildings and maintenance team has been established to tackle both internal and external maintenance and repair jobs required.
A veritable volunteer army has been assembled to tackle the garden to get it looking its best, with a smaller team being organised to maintain and keep it in tip-top shape.
These are both substantial tasks being carried out solely by volunteers, so we wholeheartedly thank them all for their time and effort.
As regards running the pub, we have set up a way to trade as a drinks only pub, and are in the process of organising licensing, insurances, utilities, suppliers, rotas, etc. This is also a volunteer led process, so expect to see some friendly locals pulling your pints! If all goes well, we should be able to open fairly soon.
We - The Swan pub and Enford Village and Parish - are counting on you all to help us keep our pub open!! Help us succeed in this interim time while a longer-term solution can be found.
We’ll keep you posted as regards opening date and times.
Thank you all for your support and thanks to all the volunteers making it possible!!
With Love from The Swan and Enford Village and Parish

Month two coming to an end!
18th September 2024
As we wrap up our second month in business, we couldn’t be more excited to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve had so far. It has been a time of learning, growth, and, most importantly, delicious food—and none of it would have been possible without the dedication of our amazing team and the addition of our new chef, Liam O’Sullivan.
From day one, our team has worked tirelessly to create a welcoming atmosphere and deliver exceptional service. Every member, from front-of-house to back-of-house, has poured their heart into ensuring that every guest leaves with a smile. Their commitment to excellence has been the cornerstone of our success, and we are grateful for their hard work and enthusiasm.
A special shoutout goes to Chef Liam, whose arrival has truly been a game-changer. Liam’s innovative approach to cooking and his dedication to using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients have quickly become the highlight of our menu. His creativity has not only set a high standard for our food offerings but has also introduced our guests to a new world of flavors. The response to his dishes has been overwhelmingly positive, and it’s clear that his vision is resonating with everyone who walks through our doors.
This first two months have been a whirlwind of excitement, challenges, and triumphs. We’ve loved every moment of it, from crafting the perfect dish to seeing our guests’ delighted reactions. We’ve also embraced the invaluable feedback we’ve received, which will guide us as we continue to evolve and improve.
As we look ahead, we’re thrilled about the future and the continued growth of our beloved Swan Inn. With a talented team and a visionary chef like Liam leading the way, we’re confident that the best is yet to come.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us during this inaugural two months. Your encouragement has been a driving force behind our success, and we can’t wait to share many more memorable experiences with you. Here’s to many more months of delicious food, great service, and the joy of bringing people together around the table!What an opening!!
16th August 2024
After a 7 months of closure, The Swan Enford has finally reopened its doors. Opening night was a fantastic event with around 200 people coming through the doors. We served a hog roast and the bar was 5 deep for hours! Nestled in the heart of the charming village of Enford, our beloved pub boasts a charming interior, a revitalised menu featuring locally sourced ingredients, and a warm atmosphere that pays homage to its heritage.
Join us for an unforgettable dining experience, whether you're tucking in to tasty dishes in our cozy restaurant or enjoying a refreshing drink in our beautifully landscaped garden.
