About Us
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.
