Large-ish pub with a beer garden (well more of a beer patio) to the front, next to Colchester castle on the east end of the high street.
They had two Adnams and Deuchers IPA on tap. This pub has some very bad reviews on qype/beerintheevening but possibly those are for Friday/Saturday nights or similar, staff have been very friendly during the day at least.
Slightly odd decor - human skulls on the walls etc., this might be a reference to the castle, if there are/were goth regulars we've not seen them. Food is quite basic but generally fine.

We went here after a long walk with our retrievers to the huge bird reserve at Abberton reservoir and since our last visit a few years ago there's a huge change. A complete makeover so that all the old beams and floors have been cleaned and restored and look great. The food is just fabulous and great value, way better than anything else we have tried locally with a great menu choice. Dogs are allowed in the bar and lower eating level (the upper area is carpeted so fair enough), with water bowls and a very dog-friendly landlady who kept feeding our two retrievers with biscuits. A great find.

The Swan is more than a pub, it's an icon. Probably one of the most photographed buildings in one of the most photographed towns in the country and rightly so.
The interior is very special too and the staff were very welcoming of us and our two greyhounds bringing them a bowl of water unprompted.
This is a classy place.

The pub had only just changed ownership (April 2011). Pub dog is a Rottie and dogs are allowed in the bar area which is a very 'local' feel. The restaurant area has just undergone a refurb. Menu limited, but food good if a little pricey. Lovely walks around the very pretty and old village, and across the fields behind the pub towards Finchingfield.
