The Swan
is located in the large village of Ash
Vale, a residential area on the Basingstoke Canal. This is pretty,
rambling country, 30 square miles of Ash Ranges, so many walkers park here, enjoy a five mile
hike and return for lunch or tea. Historically the pub was owned
by the Tupper family. It used to be run as a pub for the army and
even had a rat pit outside and bare-knuckle fighting took place here!
Inside there are pictures on the wall from that time. Two open
fires are lit during the winter months and quiet background music
encourages good conversation in this relaxed, friendly venue. Like
all Chef & Brewer pubs we employ high quality Chefs who have superb
kitchen facilities. The food can be chosen from a main menu or
unique Specials from the chalk boards which allow our Chefs to show
their flair! You will be served meals which have been prepared
from the freshest of ingredients and cooked to order. The pub is
now non smoking for your comfort. To complement your
meal there is an extensive choice of quality wines. Real ales are
a very popular alternative to the wine and we have a good selection with
the local brew, Hog Back TEA being a particular favourite. Come
and try this rather special pub in the near future. You will be
made very welcome.
