Cask Marque Accreditation

We take as much pride in our ales as we do in our food and we have the greatest pleasure in informing you that we have been presented the Cask Marque accreditation that is only awarded to the handful of pubs that serve the perfect pint.

As a freehouse we are able to feature small microbreweries wherever possible. We are not attached to any brewery and therefore not tied to any specific beer, which means we can offer a wider choice of real ales for the pleasure of our customers.

Ales, lagers and cider

We offer a range of Cask Ales, mostly from micro breweries, which change regularly, but may include Timothy Taylor’s Landlord, Black Sheep, Beartown Brewery’s Kodiak Gold and Wincle’s Burkes Special. For lager drinkers, we feature British lagers by Freedom and Carling and Italian lager Peroni. Peroni is the best-selling Italian premium lager worldwide, and has a distinctive, crisp and refreshing taste. Carling is the UK’s number one lager, and its blend of bitterness and sweetness appeals to a wide audience. As well as these we have Strongbow Fruity Cider, Addlestones  and Stowford Press Ciders.  Our Guinness is perfect, just as you would expect in Ireland, all  our bar staff having had specialist training on how to pour the perfect pint of Guinness.

Wines for every palate

We carefully select our wines with the help of Boutinot Wines, the Sommelier Wine Award’s Wine Merchant of the Year for the last 4 years. From our range of reds, roses and whites from Europe, the Americas and the new world, you’ll find the perfect accompaniment to your meal.

Available by the bottle, or by the glass – we offer something to indulge every palate.

Soft drinks and healthy options

As well as all the usual fruit juices and soft drinks available from the bar, we endeavor to provide healthy options wherever possible, so in addition you’ll find natural energising health drinks and quality bar snacks.

  • Mothering Sunday lunch. Excellent choices all served by a very pleasant waiting staff of young ladies . We dined in the Lovell Suite , what a super light room. The meal was superb, and the place was busy.

  • Just to say we had an excellent day and really enjoyed a lovely meal, beautifully served.  The service was wonderful and everyone made us feel welcome.  We were particularly appreciative of the high level of efficiency and professionalism amongst such young staff and are mindful of the fact that a lot goes on in the background to make the day go smoothly and for our enjoyment which we do not see. We are not regular customers but as trueborn Swettenham folk really enjoy coming home and it being so worthwhile.  We will see you next year.

  • “We hadn’t booked for lunch but they very very kindly found us a table, there were quite a few things not available on the menu as they are in the process of changing it. This didn’t bother us as we had gone for a traditional Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed. Plenty of piping hot food a good selection of vegetables and three good slices of roast pork .”

  • Enjoyed a walk followed by Sunday lunch at the pub. Ordered a small roast which was delicious and a reasonable size portion. A busy pub so be prepared for a short wait.

  • “I felt I had to write and thank you for the lovely evening we enjoyed on Friday, 30th Jan for an 80th birthday party. The setting outside and in was lovely and the food extremely good, as was the service. A special thank you to Glyn and staff.  I was very pleased with everything and had most favourable comments from all the guests, I would have no hesitation in recommending the Swettenham Arms to anyone.”

  • “We discovered The Swettenham Arms through BritStops – what an excellent find! Lovely walk through their gardens – amazing history. Fantastic meal with caring service. Highly recommended. Thank you!”

    Russell M, via TripAdvisor, October 2019

  • “Arrived for lunch at a lovely outdoor seating area with a great variety of colourful flowers. The menu had lots of great meals which sounded great and had good prices. We had an amazing burger, scampi and fish & chips. Before we took the dogs for a walk we had a look around the back at the lavender meadow, flowered arches and gazebo where weddings take place. Lovely walks around the arboretum then came back for a excellent pot of tea which came in china cups with little shortbread biscuits. A perfect end to our day out. All this following Covid restrictions to the letter.”
