Restaurant
At The Swan, our menu reflects the creativity and expertise of our talented chefs – who bring experience from the Recruiting Sergeant. Showcasing the best local ingredients and drawing inspiration from both classic English fare and vibrant world flavours, the dishes offer something for every appetite. From generous plates of comforting pub favourites to lighter bites with a modern twist, we aim to create a dining experience that is both familiar and refreshingly different.
Whether you’re joining us for a leisurely lunch, a celebratory dinner, or something in between, there’s plenty to tempt you.
Our current menus closely resemble those below but may change.
Make a booking
Please let us know when booking if you require a highchair or space for a wheelchair or pram, or if you will be bringing a dog.
Special Diets
Our food is freshly cooked so we can modify many menu items to cater for those on special diets such as gluten or dairy free.
Celebrations
Unfortunately, due to a lack of facilities in which to keep them safe until required, we cannot accept cakes brought in by customers. As an alternative we are very happy to provide candles and plates decorated with a celebratory message for the special person(s) - please ask us for a celebration plate. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience or upset this may cause, and thank you for your understanding.
Gift Vouchers
Solve your gift dilemmas! Ask us about purchasing Colchester Inns gift vouchers to spend on food or drink at any of our establishments.
Dog Policy
We are a dog-friendly venue and welcome well-behaved dogs on leads. Please mention when booking if you are bringing a dog, so that an appropriate table may be allocated.
If dining in the bar or restaurant with your dog we ask that owners be sensitive to other guests. If a dog needs food or water please take them outside where water bowls are provided.
