The Old Swan, Uttoxeter

Seems to have really come a long way in the last 6 months. The atmosphere in there is really great and I was impressed by how welcoming and friendly the staff were on my visit (nothing seemed too much of an inconvenience). The selection of real ales was spot on (particularly the Lymestone brewery 'Stone the Crows'). I visited with a friend who was excited to see they stock two lagers on draught from Freedom brewery in Abbots Bromley. I will admit the Freedom Pilsner was one of the nicest lagers I've had in a long time and, as I was informed, exclusive in Uttoxeter to the Old Swan. We enjoyed the food, standard Wetherspoon Faye, which was good value. Compared to a few of the other venues in town that are looking tired and undesirable the Old Swan seemed to stand out as a bit of a shrine. We will definitely call again.
