Bar pub in Bath

“Great pub, beer well kept, reasonable price given the location, darts, great live music on a Saturday night.”

“Stayed here a couple of times now. Fantastic service from the moment you arrive. Lovely rooms, great pub downstairs with entertainment, good food/drink selection and loads of board games you can take up to your room. Only a 15 min walk into the centre or a 5min taxi ride. Staff were fantastic. Will 100% stay again if we are back in the area.”

“Proper village pub in a lovely setting, with cosy rooms over the bar. Stayed here for a night whilst doing some walks of the surrounding area, enjoyed a couple of beers in a very friendly atmosphere, had a good (and quiet) night's sleep, followed by a hearty breakfast before setting off home. Would recommend to anyone planning on doing any walking in the area and looking for a place with character to bed down for a night or two.”

“My 1st visit to this pub on Saturday 4th of October.went to see live band & had a great evening.Band were great.locals very friendly & the 2 staff members were very efficient & really nice/helpful.Cheers.”

“A 2 part bar with a pool lounge one side and a proper high stool bar in the other. They have 2 great tables at a pound each for pool, open mic nights on Tuesdays and a dart board that's free to use! Nice selection of drinks and a great comedy club in the basement. One of my go-tos for a night out in Bath every time.”

“Lovely atmosphere, nice interior. Very friendly staff. Amazing delicious food, brought very fast. That was a great experience, hope we'll come back one day! Thank you!”

“Lovely little club. Attend a few nights a year for away games of skittles. Bar staff are always very friendly and accommodating.”

“Lovely little hotel bar. We came back just as James the barman was shutting up but he served us with a smile and made us feel very welcome!”

“Went down a couple of times, lovely pub with a great potential Will and Chanelle are very welcoming . It will be an amazing pub when it’s done up . New owners have taken over can’t wait to see what it will be like after revamp . Will be back soon .”

“Small but perfectly placed for kick-off. Barman knows how to make a bitter shandy.”

“This is a review of the events space (marquee). We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary in the marquee at the Swan in Swineford, September 2024. It was a great event and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening. We had 53 guests for a three course sit down meal with welcome drinks prior to the meal, after which the tables were cleared for dancing and a DJ. We were able to discuss and tailor our menu to suit our guests and we received many compliments on the food, which was very tasty. Our family had early access to decorate the marquee with lights, table decorations and flowers which made the marquee look beautiful and created a lovely atmosphere. We were able to return the next morning to do the take-down, there was no pressure. The only strict requirements were that music had to stop by 11:00 pm (due to neighbours) and aim to have all people off site by 11:30 pm. Lee, the manager, was very approachable. He was happy to discuss our needs and was very flexible with the layout and the menu choice. We were allowed to provide our own drinks and pay corkage as well as making use of the outside pay-bar. Staff were very friendly and seemed invested in the success of the party which made it seem like a joint effort. The marquee itself is 9 meters square and has a good-sized graveled area to the side with benches which are for sole use of the function space. The marquee is set in a large garden with outside bar, children’s play area and a carpark. We would certainly recommend the swan for family and social functions. Big thanks to Lee and the whole team.”

“VERY cool experience! The dining location itself is worth the visit! We sat at a table overlooking the river and it was beautiful!! Staff were amazing, food was great, we will most definitely go back again! We both ordered chicken curry (different kinds) and they were both amazing! Worth going to!”

“Good food worth the value. fast friendly staff. Quick service too.”

“Out Saturday day drinking for a hen do. Was there from 6pm till 9pm. We sat outside on a sofa, with the DJ playing under the gazebo. Great music, Great atmosphere, the place was buzzing. Staff are friendly, served drinks to your table, cleared up quickly to remove those empty glasses. Had a great time drinking, chilling to the music and chatting.”

“After scouring Bath for live music for NYE and failing miserably we ended up at the Devonshire Arms. A bit of a locals pub but we were accepted and greater whole heartedly. Live music was good fun although they certainly won't be going pro anytime soon! Good beer and a bit of a spread put on for NYE. Landlord made us feel very welcome and even apologised for charging us entry! Made some new friends and had a throughly enjoyable time. Would recommend!”

“Great food at great prices. The staff are very nice and hardworking, the tables are spaced out and the place is well looked after. The brownie from the kinds menu is a decent size and only £1.99! Just right if you don’t have a lot of room after the main course but still fancy something sweet.”

“We have always wanted to try this pub, as we have lived in Bath for over a year now. We came in Saturday and asked about their Sunday roast, and how the cauliflower cheese was done. Daniel said “I’ll show you” he then went into the kitchen and made his home made Yorkshire pudding and a pot of cauliflower cheese, as a taster. This was amazing, so we came back for the roast on Sunday and wasn’t disappointed the size of the plate and food was fantastic. They also put the Women’s Rugby on for us, which was a bonus. Lovely place, with friendly staff and will definitely be back. Thank you for a great experience.”

“Very lovely service from Sam, made great recommendations for drink choices when we were unsure. Told us about the new pool table that we went and tried out and had lots of fun on! Definitely will be coming back”

“My wife and I had a very good time at the Lamb and Lion this weekend and the staff were so caring and very accomadating to our needs whilst in a booth. we were watching football and darts during the course of Saturday and they were happy to change channels at our request. The food was very good and choice of drinks were great but the staff were amazing. thank you all and see you soon. Terry and Kerry”

“Canon Bottomless Brunch – Fantastic Experience! We had such a great time at Canon’s bottomless brunch! The atmosphere was vibrant, the drinks kept flowing, and the food was delicious. A special shout-out to Sam, who gave us outstanding service from start to finish — friendly, attentive, and always making sure our glasses were full. He really made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun, relaxed brunch with excellent service!”

“I adore the karaoke here every Sunday. The host is amazing and you always get to do most of your songs :) shame I live so far away but it's worth the trip!”

“Well kept beer, entertaining locals, friendly atmosphere.”

“Stopped here after seeing a pragmatic approach to the relaxing of Covid security measures. Friendly staff, good value, and great garden. Well worth a visit - off the beaten track in Bath. Much better option than several over-priced 'gastropubs'.”

“Had an amazing meal today. Pub was packed with people enjoying themselves but still the service was excellent. Special mention to Lauren who went over and above. Will definitely return soon.”

“I've been in here a quite few times, and I really enjoyed the mango sunrise drink. It's very refreshing. Food is good very tasty, with lots of places to sit down or a few seating areas outside on a nice sunny day. Definitely recommend popping in and having lunch it's really lovely. Definitely going back to try other food and drinks.”

“Three of us arrived for Friday evening supper. Young but very attentive serving staff, who looked after us beautifully. We started with the sharers board with a side of the crispy chicken. This was followed by a signature burger which was well cooked, good onion rings and crispy chips. We also had the fish and chips, we decided to have the extra bread and butter and scampi, we probably wouldnt do that again. The fish was tasty and well cooked. The final meal was the smothered chicken. This was rather over cooked and dry but a good flavour. I probably just had bad luck. The pub is welcoming and you are always comfortable there. It suits all ages, the parking is good the location is amazing. I would certainly recommend it.”

“Really lovely little pub/hotel. Was slightly dated building so the room we had on the third floor shook when a big vehicle drove past, but the traffic died down in the evening. Was a good accomodation and would stay again. Drinks and food were good too”

“This pub was very convenient to our hotel, so we visited a few times during our stay in Bath. Lots of little rooms and seating options. My friend loved the Greene King mac and cheese.”

“A great place for people watching. Large outdoor patio. Limited indoor seating. No food that I’m aware of. Like everyone else says “good Guinness.”

“Great food and drinks, comfortable space for a family! We had burguer (meat and chicken) and fish and chips, all were Fab and delicious! Prices were fair. See menu attached.”
