Just came back from here after finding it by mistake,what a lovely quaint village pub this is,you walk in and instantly feel at home,there's definitely an atmosphere here. Only had a quick drink served by a lovely chatty lady,who by the time I had left felt as if I had known her for years. Apparently they do hot food Thursday Saturday evenings and as it's so popular it might be worth while booking a table in advance. You have a darts board skittles table,plus I noticed on the bar they had a cribbage board cards. Outside is a small grassed area with tables chairs and a smoking shelter,although if you vape your most welcome to do this inside the pub,which pleased me tonight. Will look forward...
We stopped at the Swan during a bike ride and were pleased to find that not much had changed since our last visit many years ago. We ordered two pints of Abbot, which the landlord filled directly from the barrel. The pub had a nice atmosphere with several regular customers. When we inquired about food for lunch, the landlord asked us what we wanted without a menu or prices. He offered options like scampi, steak, ham with eggs, all served with chips, sandwiches or rolls. We placed our order and the landlord went to cook our meals. The food was quickly prepared and delicious, especially the steak and ham as shown in the pictures. The Swan is a cozy traditional pub with a friendly landlord, loc...
I first visited this extremely quiet pub about 10 years and had a pint and a game of darts with a work colleague.I visited again recently and thankfully the pub had barely changed.The Swan is is in the small village of Newton Bromswold,about 2 miles from Rushden.There is ample car parking,a smoking area and the pub is dog friendly too.The Swan has a good sized garden and skittles and darts are played here .There is a smallish room which is now an eating area(do not remember that before)and although we only had drinks,we are going to book up to have dinner here shortly.An extremely cozy,warm and friendly pub that has retained so much of its charm by merely staying virtually the same.10/10.
Is in lovely setting in a sleepy village. Car park is small but plenty of parking spaces along the road. It is mainly a drinking pub but on Thursdays it is steak night. (Gammon is available for non beef eaters. You won 't get this price for your main course anywhere else . Food freshly cooked. Tables need to be booked in advance. On sundays you can try your luck with a small fee for raffles .Raffles prizes are Prizes normally are hunks of raw meat. Beers especially Abbot 's Ale 5% is kept at the right temperature is like 'honey dew '. The best in UK. Some people travel twenty odd miles just for Abbots Ale.

This pub is actually in Newton Bromswold not Rushden so the details need changing. It’s a great little pub in the true sense of the word. No food served at present but great beer and lovely views across the countryside from the conservatory or garden. Now under new management following the retirement of the previous landlord but just as good. Very friendly and quiet surroundings and it really needs some more local support. We can’t afford to lose these lovely old pubs so please pay it a visit if you can, you won’t be sorry.
I've been a regular at The Swan for 12 years. On our very first visit we were made very welcome. There is no razzamatazz, just excellent beer, (particularly draught beers straight from the wood) and sensible, adult company provided by a host of regulars from local farmers, labourers, professional businessmen and women and many pensioners who gather regularly to enjoy the company of like-minded people. Basic food well cooked and presented.
This restaurant is not your typical bistro - it's a friendly pub that is perfect for both winter nights by the open fire and summer days in the garden. They welcome dogs and offer casks of Abbot Ale and London Pride for guests to enjoy.
The new owner, Patrick, is very friendly and helpful. The food at this family and dog-friendly country pub is excellent, especially the Abbot ale. It won't be long before they start serving meals as well.

This is a proper pub with good beer and very friendly staff. Unfortunately we didn't have time for a meal but next time we are in the area we will certainly call.
Been drinking here on and off since 1969. Definitely the best Abbott you will ever find. A proper country pub and Dennis is a great old boy and a **** good cook!.
