The Swan Inn in Bromsgrove

Great beer and value. Friendly staff.

Proper pub with staff that know their drinks! Super welcoming and good vibes for a group or a couple! There also sport on and a pool table

Very good pub , which serves good beer . Pleasant staff & customers that I spoke to . Visited en route to the football & will visit again . Next time I come for the football .

Friendly pub with great atmosphere. Pool table, lve sports with a lounge and separate bar area. Lovely beer garden too.

Visited the swan Alvechurch with family. The place was filthy and very unwelcoming. Had a pint of HPA which didn’t taste right, when I questioned the bar staff about this I was met with hostility. The beer used to be really good. Overall the atmosphere was not good. Never to return. Spend your money elsewhere

Went to Swan pub alvechurch terrible atmosphere too expensive staff are really rude don't bother going there that's why they don't get no custom hope it shuts down

Nice beer and relaxing atmosphere👍😊

Great pub, dog and child friendly 👌

Lovely pup with lots of history including stunning veiws out towards the countryside in a relaxing beer garden ( that was used as a bowling green ) out the back

Nice pub, benefitted from a facelift since I was last here. Warm, cosy and welcoming. Dog friendly. A bit loud, but jolly. Cobs looked great. No car park.

Fantastic find.... really clean and tidy. There's a good choice of beers.... the Ales are one of the best kept cellars I've experienced 😊😋. The hosts and staff really helpful and pleasant. Thankyou xxx

6 years ago, very ignorant landlord. Pub very clicky

We have always drove passed this pub on the way home, today we stopped and went in to find an old pub with new owners. It felt very welcoming, we had a drink and checked out the back garden. I was really quite nice, I would say when the weather improves this garden is amazing and there's even a garden at the top where the kids can play football or whatever. We will be going back. Wishing the new owners all the luck!!

I liked it. Great village pub with good Gunness

Chose this pub as had sky sports. Visited before watching Needham at Alvechurch. Very very friendly atmosphere. We were well looked after and a great bit of banter. Returned after the game into the other bar. Locals all enjoying their Saturday evening and all very friendly. Well recommended if you’re looking for somewhere before/after the football. Would not hesitate in re visiting

Cracking little country pub with a great choice of drinks. Friendly landlord and locals. Large screen TVs outside in a covered patio area with live football showing. Looking forward to returning. 5*****

A throw back in time to a 'traditional' pub. Pool and darts in the bar. Good quality beer, and down to earth bar food. A pleasure to be there.

A really lovely pub. Great owners and a wonderful atmosphere. It’s just a really nice place to be!!!

Attend this pub recently and found the service to be non existent. While waiting at the bar to order no alcoholic drinks we were told by the bar maid we could not be served even tho other people, locals were being served and after 23:30, all while the landlord is sat down drinking a pint of beer. The landlord was rude, un professional, and would recommend attending school for manners and people skills. This is not a family oriented place, nor are outside people welcome in the pub. The landlord made us feel very unwanted and hide behind the barmaid which shows just what kind of person is in charge of the pub, one very rude little man, I can only guess he suffers with little man syndrome. After leaving and going back to the car we noticed through the pub window more locals were being served, at this point it was way after 11:30, clearly breaking his licence rules. Again shows what kind of person is in charge of this pub. I would avoid this pub at all costs unless you are a local. Very disappointing to receive such poor service in front of my friends AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!! Apparently I was intoxicated via the comment below using CCTV images, think someone needs glasses or new CCTV, as I can not drink for medical reasons. My friends were not drinking due to being on call or they were driving. Think someone is telling fibs!! Especially when most of us were driving and

Very nice little pub well worth a visit.

A proper pub with a garden in the sunshine 👍

Good and polite staff, and the Ale is well looked after, love the proper job 🍺

A proper village pub and spotlessly clean

Lovely boozer, good crowd and sky sports.

Nice enough place, had a beer in here before the football at Alvechurch F.C

A proper pub. Awesome beer & staff. The home of the world famous ACC.

Nice traditional pub,good beer and reasonable prices.

Great beer garden and dog friendly

A straight forward pub. Clean, tidy, friendly patrons and staff.

Found this great friendly "local" whilst passing through on canal. Good beer & pool table, dartboard (darts available for refundable deposit) & juke box.

Nice pub goot atmosphere, good service, a bit pricey though. Other than that nothing to report.

Cosy village pub with good beers and a beautiful garden.

The best pint of Guinness you will get for miles and make no mistake . Football on with plenty of screens what more do you want !!!

Nice little pub. Not pretentious which makes a nice change.

We went on a Sunday afternoon, was quite just how I wanted it after a few hours shopping. Friendly, very relaxing and very warm as it was a cold day. Would recommend. There's a pool table, dart board. Not sure about food as we were sat in the bar.

Very friendly and enjoyable place to have a beer or two

I decent, well run, old fashioned pub, pool table, Juke box, good beer at great prices, I am not from around here, but the people are very friendly and hospitable.

Lovely place and a friendly landlord who keeps the beer spot on. It was a shame about some of the bad language from some of the regulars. Would I go again?? Maybe

Great little pub which has a great atmosphere, yes it could do with some internal maintenance however this all adds to the charm of the building/business definitely worth popping into

Landlord is very unprofessional!! We went in 10 mins before last orders and was told by the bar maid that we wasn’t allowed to be served by the landlord who was happily drinking a pint of beer behind us Who give her the nod (apparently) We had just been for a meal down Rd and was enjoying my mates 40th birthday it was very low key. We went into the swan in alvechurch The landlord Made us feel very unwanted And hiding behind his barmaid makes you realise what kind of man he really is . Why he couldn’t tell us 10 mins before last orders why we couldn’t be served I don’t know ??? Although looking through the window afterwards a man was been served, this really got my back up Hence what I am leaving a review. You would be better going to the red lion which were more accommodating and polite I would not advise going into the swan alvechurch if your not a local as obviously they don’t welcome new people. Shocking in this day and age we have a pub like this in the world !!!

Last pub in England before Wales had to be done

Lovely place to sit and relax with friends

Quirky little old school pub with friendly service. Sky and BT too for sport

Friendly staff 3 real ales and Belgium Vedett lager 5.1% Their pub garden is well worth a visit

Nice pub in the centre of Alvechurch. Just a bit of a disjointed layout & some areas needing a little TLC.

Proper boozer, Proper Gaffer, Proper Ale,

Fabulous little olde worlde pub with a good selection of drinks, not sure about any food, we didn't want to eat. Seemed like a locals pub but very welcoming all the same and best of all reasonable prices. One drawback, no carpark, you have to park in the square, however, I had no trouble getting a space.

The garden is a hidden gem 💎 visited 29.7.21 nice evening 😊prices are good 👍 staff great fun and will be coming back again soon

Decent pub, decent beer... glad to see it and glad to be there. 🍻😎👍

Nice place although subject to the usual conditions at the moment but still fun.

Another great Village pub, friendly welcoming staff with a great range of Real Ales and snacks. Superb !!! 👌

Welcoming atmosphere, staff very friendly and it was great to watch the football in a lovely sunny beer garden! Would highly recommend.

Beautiful beer garden and great atmosphere here.

The secret garden was so nice and pleasant and chilling the staff were spot on 👌 and fair play 2 the bar man who was collecting glasses up and down the stairs great job 👍differently b going back soon

Lovely friendly pub... would recommend... dont serve food but u can take your own

Went here after an evening local walk. On entry staff were not very welcoming but after my group had settled at a table, the manager/owner came and chatted to us. I had a most deliciously served Butty Bach on draft, which I would highly recommend! I would have given 4 stars but when we asked for the bill, we weren't asked if we wanted to pay separately, rather, all our drinks were clumped together, and we weren't then offered separate, so one person had to pay and we couldn't settle up as we didn't have any cash.

Proper pub with big garden to rear and the landlord is a cracking bloke

My first time here, and my first time at any pub in a verrrrrrrrrry long time (thanks to Covid!). It was very well organised in terms of keeping people as safe as possible in the current pandemic. Orders could be made via an App which you're invited to download as you enter the premises. The app worked brilliantly, and I enjoyed a very tasty half pint of Buttybach. The service wasn't fast, but that's because the pub garden was so full and drinks were having to be poured and then delivered to each table. However it also didn't feel like we waited that long for our order to arrive either - I've waited longer in a queue at a bar. We'll definitely be returning to this pub, but next time I'm going to be ordering a full pint of beer 🍺. Cheers.

When Alexander of Macedonia was 33 he cried salt tears, as there were no worlds left to conquer. I was 39 and The Swan was shut due to Covid. Great Pub, brilliant atmosphere, great beer, lovely big garden. Oh and the landlords OK too.

Great pub in the heart of the village

Recently moved to the area, invited friends to go somewhere local to support businesses given current circumstances. Shocking welcoming, completely rude and made to feel totally uncomfortable. Very hostile environment. Actual other visitors to the pub were lovely but the owners approach was shocking. “This isn’t a child friendly pub mate” when all our 8 month old was doing was sleeping in her pram. Is one of the many disgusting comments we received in our visit. We take our daughter everywhere without any issues. Totally shocked in 2020 to be met with such hostility. I have lived relatively local for 20+ years and never had such a terrible experience. Will he telling everyone I know not to support such a business. Made a conscious effort to avoid the chains and support local and totally disappointment.

Great village pub.really friendly.

Great pub, friendly atmosphere. Great Landlord.

Nice local village pub without the bells and whistles - good selection of drinks & friendly staff. Has a really large garden space sloped up at the back that you wouldn't know was there. Well worth a stop if you are in Alvechurch especially on a sunny day.

Friendly enough but had no milk again to make a coffee as I was driving. Happened last visit too, sad in this day & age !!!! Co op store opposite too.

nice local pub, friendly people!

Walked in after getting soaked in this lovely pub. The gaffer and lady were fantastic. It was packed but the service Was like poetry in motion. What a pint of Guinness

Traditional pub that serves beer. If you want a coffee the landlord supports local businesses and advises you go literally over the road purchase a coffee and consume in the Swan as they serve beer how cool is that. If you require food chippie, curry house or Red Lion 2 mins walking distance from Swan. Red Lion, Weighbridge and Crown super pubs in Alvechurch.

Love this place, great proper pub

Area. Nice ale. Visiting marina so don't no night life

Only stopped for one drink as we passed this place on our walk. The beer was excellent and there was a lovely sunny beer garden at the back. There was a group of very friendly regulars and dogs are welcome. It was much better that the outside appearance would suggest as I have previously been put off by all the sky sports signs.

Nice beer good atmosphere and superb gardens

Another lovely visit to this pub excellent food

Proper pub. Great friendly staff. Shame there's not more boozers like this these days.

Eraer1959 very cosy and a nice pub to go into

Definitely the best pub on Swan Lane

Fantastic atmosphere good service high qualit drinks landlord is a good man

Nice cosy pub, good prices and welcoming

Lovely village pub with reasonable prices...just right and good staff

Always friendly and good real ale

Nice little pub, I dont drink in here but i have delivered here a few times and the owners are real friendly, Decorated nice inside 👍🏻 if i lived local i would come and have a drink or two for sure

The food is good and the price is relatively cheap as well

Proper Pub. Stopped in on the off chance on the way past for a drink or two. Loved it. Wish we had a local like this one.

Great little pub, perfect for watching the footie and as a bonus has a very pretty barmaid working there! 😊 What more can a nice pub need! Thanks for the great service.

Taxis are hard to get. Staff not really interested

Well run battle cruiser with Good beers...good people & great atmosphere

Ottimo pub tradizionale, birra buonissima e possibilità di guardare lo sport su più televisori nelle varie sale. Consigliato!

Alvechurch up and coming for beer

Good village pub, nice beer and good atmosphere

The Swan has changed hands a few times over the last several years, however the latest landlord has settled in well and is making a good go of it. He is a local guy who is very friendly and is very much invested on the place. It's a cosy pub, with good beer and a nice atmosphere.

dog friendly pub ,proper beer , staff polite and friendly , always stop in when passing on canal always a warm welcome :-)

Local pub for locals & visitors, managed by a local guy with personal service backed up by friendly bar staff. I've used this pub for nearly 50 years & have to say that the atmosphere is probably the BEST IT HAS EVER BEEN !

Haven't been in for a little while now as haven't been out, but if we did go out in Alvechurch it would be here! The best pub in Alvechurch very comfortably! Great atmosphere, the most welcoming landlord and landlady you could ever wish for and the best example of a proper village pub I have ever been in in all my nearly 60 years! Congratulations on everything you do!🍻

Just visited the Swan Alvchurch, for a bite to eat. There is no food being served at the Swan, was told "if you want food go to the other pub" That was a waste of time, the web site is misleading!

Went to Alvechurch and checked out the website for The Swan Pub the menu looked great. When we arrived the pub was empty apart from one customer and when we enquirer about food we were told they don't do food if you want to eat to have to go to a pub somewhere else in the village. We then had to look for somewhere else to have a meal and drink. Please put on your website that you don't do food!!!

Real ale, real pub, real people! !!

This place has had a new lease of life. staff are welcoming and it is well run. It has a good selection of beers but I would like a better selection of wines as well; maybe that will come as it increases in popularity. it is right on the main road so parking is limited, the garden out back is very pleasant on a good day.

Welcoming pub and great beer. Massive improvement since under new management. Decor improving slowly. Real ale pub. Not a wine bar.

I no now we have a new landlord it can start to get back to how it used to a good little boozer

Great Beer. Good food and great service. A proper local.
