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

Join us on Saturday, 10th May 2025, at The Swan Enford for a celebration marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day (VE80).

From 12pm to 11pm, our community will come together to honour this significant milestone with a day filled with remembrance, music, and frienship —all in support of BLESMA, the charity for limbless veterans.

Event Highlights:

• Musical Performances: Experience the stirring voices of the Military Wives Choir and enjoy vintage tunes from Sticky Toffee Jazz, bringing the spirit of the era to life.
• Best-Dressed Competition: Embrace the wartime spirit by donning your finest 1940s attire for a chance to win in our best-dressed contest.
• Afternoon Tea: Savour a classic afternoon tea with friends and family, complete with an assortment of delightful treats.
• Celebration Dinner: Indulge in a specially prepared dinner, reflecting the tastes and traditions of the wartime period.
• Wartime Talk: Engage with history through an insightful talk after dinner, offering perspectives on the events that shaped our nation.

Come and be part of a day that honours our history, celebrates our community, and contributes to a worthy cause.

We have slightly altered our opening hours to take into consideration the time of year. These new times will be in effect until beginning of April when hopefully the weather starts to improve! Whether you’re stopping by for a hearty meal, a refreshing drink, or a relaxing catch-up with friends, our updated hours ensure you’ll always find a warm welcome.

Our new opening times are as follows:

• Monday - Closed
• Tuesday 6:00pm - 10:00pm (Drinks Only)
• Wednesday to Saturday: 12:00pm - 3:00pm and 6:00pm - 11:00pm

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!

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. The Swan Enford is not just a place to eat and drink; it’s a community hub. Come and celebrate the successful reopening of a cherished local treasure and watch this space for plenty of new and interesting ideas coming your way!

My team and I are looking forward to welcoming you all back to The Swan on Friday 2nd August! We will have food, music and drinks available on the night! You will see we have some recognisable faces behind the bar and a couple of new ones too! It really has been a team effort (you all know who you are!) to get us to this point and I will be forever eternally grateful for all the work you have put in!

See you all very soon! Lets get the party started!
