The Swan in is Vicar Street opposite the town hall and is part of the Davenports chain.

Cask Marque, which ensures pubs serve excellent quality cask ale, gave it full marks across every aspect of the assessment.

Commenting on the five-out-of-five score across each assessment area, Laura Capper, the general manager of the pub, said: “We work so hard to ensure every aspect of the customer experience is on point, and to score full marks across the storing, chilling, and serving ale makes us immensely proud. It means that the customer really does enjoy every sip of their pint in our pub.”

The Swan, which dates from 1865, was renovated last year with new branding, signage, decor, and lighting to the exterior and courtyard garden.
