The Swan Inn and Lodge, Claygate

I visited The Swan in Oct 10 as it used to be my Father's local many years ago and had a pint of Asphall's cyder while I soaking up the atmosphere set in the heart of a picturesque English village. The pub's completely changed (internally) since my Father's time of course but I was given a very warm welcome by the Landlord. I stayed overnight in one of the pub rooms and in the morning enjoyed a specially cooked English breakfast with good helpings. The Landlord was very friendly and was happy for me to walk round the pub taking in the history from all the pictures and fixtures inside. I left the pub feeling very happy.
I would recommend The Swan in Claygate to anyone who values good old fashioned friendliness and a warm pub welcome. I have to say the pint of Asphall's was in fine condition and went down well too.
