Friendly staff & well kept ales in a lovely atmosphere. My 'go to' pub in Brightlingsea as everywhere else in the town seems to have gone downhill these days. A revolving 'guest ale' would earn a fifth star.

We stayed 3 nights at Ye Olde Swan in January while visiting relatives in Brightlingsea. The pub is charming, and the owners, Angela and Stuart, very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. (We had packed the wrong travel adapter plug, so couldn't charge our phones, and they lent us an EU-UK one, which they happened to have!) Our room was really spacious with plenty of cupboard space, and an ensuite bathroom, but the best thing was the bed! The mattress and pillows were just how I like them, and the duvet was huge, soft and soooo warm! Breakfast was excellent! Cereal, Full English, plenty of toast with jam, marmalade etc and very good tea and coffee. I asked if they had porridge, and was served a huge bowl the next morning! It genuinely seemed that you could have any combination of food for breakfast. Ye Olde Swan is a great place to stay; it is run by professionals, for whom nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommended!

Really nice little pub with a friendly bar maid, comfortable pub feel, Guinness on draught, and a pool table. Wish it did food, but seems not.

Ange and Stuart know how to run a pub! I don't go out much now but my old mucker Neil Turner and I used to spend way too much time in here. Adnams on tap including the amazing Ghost Ship.

Stayed here while sailing at Brightlingsea Sailing Club for the weekend. Good location, less than 10 mins walk from the club. Friendly staff and manager, basic but comfortable rooms, and a decent breakfast. Good value, especially for single occupancy rooms. Will stay here again if we come back to Brightlingsea!

Another lovely stay at the old swan. Beds so comfy. Breakfast delicious and staff amazing. We came back for my mum's birthday and found a card and chocs waiting for her in the room. So kind. Mum enjoyed it just as much as we did. Will be back soon. Thank you Angela and Stewart and all the lovely staff. Xx

My daughter has a peanut allergy, when she asked if the staff would not sell peanuts while she was in there, they refused to stop selling them, they obviously dont know how serious a peanut allergy is!!

First and last time trying this Chinese unfortunately, lady was lovely on the phone and service was nice but the food was just so bland. Very wet soggy bland noodles that lacked even basic seasoning. Pork was fatty and chewy. Chicken balls were so over battered to hide the small pieces of chicken instead so were very greasy, soggy and raw by the chicken due to so much batter. (Chicken wasn’t raw the batter was)

This is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely incredible and very authentic Thai. No real atmosphere but the food makes up for it
