November 2025

Here is a round-up of the events at The Swan during November, 2025.

1st November: Halloween

3rd November: Clewer Memorial Poppy Project

The shout went out and they answered - our Stitch Gang and Tuesday Social Crochet groups have been working with Clewer and Dedworth Together on their Clewer Memorial Poppy Project. Over 2000 poppies have need crocheted, knitted and, over the last week, sewn onto netting to decorate the war memorial in Clewer Rec. The sight of the creation taking shape in Woody's during the day and The Swan in the evenings has been a sight to behold and we can't wait to see the end result.

Well done Louise Birch and Amy Tisi for driving this.

4th November: Mentioned by our MP

The Swan got a mention in 'The House' this week! Windsor MP Jack Rankin was speaking about the pressure on hospitality businesses at the moment and the importance of supporting our pubs as community spaces. Giving The Swan as a great example of what pubs can do for their local community, he gave a shout out to Micky and many of our clubs and events! A clip from the debate can be found here if you didn't see it.

Hansard transcript is here: "That was evidenced in my most recent Best Pub competition. Over 32 pubs were put forward from across the constituency, and hundreds of my constituents voted. It is only right to give special mention to the winner, The Swan in Clewer village, which is a great example of a community-led pub. I will not have time to talk about everything that makes The Swan special, but it has the Green Room school for special needs pupils, the Windsor cycle hub, a Chatter and Natter to tackle loneliness and social isolation, board games, the Stitch Gang for knitters, and a dog walkers' group. However, the landlord, Mickey Foden-Andrews, whom I have met multiple times, stressed that while The Swan is well loved and used by the whole community, it is feeling all the pressures on our treasured pub industry, including from increased VAT, beer duty, business rates and now the extended producer responsibility tax."

5th November: Bonfire Night

Our popular Community Bonfire Night this year went with a crackle and a sparkle as usual! The firepit was blazing and our guy was chucked on to rapturous cheers! There was mulled cider and chilli to keep everyone warm, although it was an unusually mild night!) with a great back track from the fabulous BackTrack! A great community vibe for children and adults alike – thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy!
