At the Swettenham Arms we strive for excellence in every
area of our business. We support small
micro-breweries to bring you an evolving variety of real
ales; we source the freshest of ingredients for our menus>
using local produce where possible; we have sourced
wines of high quality from fine wine merchants (or in some
cases the growers themselves!). We want your visit here to
be more than just a trip to the local pub, but an experience
beyond all your expectations that you’ll want to enjoy again
and again.
The banqueting suite is one of the most charming in
Cheshire, providing an idyllic setting for any function,
beautifully enhanced by the Lavender and Sunflower
Meadow (in full bloom July/August) and The Quinta
Arboretum Wildlife and Nature Reserve.
We are a quintessential English pub, and endeavor to
uphold the little extra touches that our customers hold in
high regard. Whether it’s fresh flowers on the tables or a
welcoming open fire on cold winter days, the inn remains
true to its’ character.
We have been recognized for a number of awards and
accolades over the years.
