The R&A is a magazine that is freely delivered to people's homes. It has a range of interesting articles about local businesses, communities, charties and events that would be of interest to the readership. R&A asked their readership to share with them those who deserved recognition and thanks and have truly brought 'good cheer' to us as we've come together. With a lot of local support for which we are very appreciative for, The Swan won the overall winner for 2021.

On Monday 22nd May, the team from R&A visited The Swan. During this, they presented some of our team with the Good Cheer Award. They also partook in a tour of The Swan not only seeing The Bar, but the students in The School House, the renovations ongoing in The Kitchen, and the new IT Suite.

We are pleased to say that the magazine did a very nice annoucement and short article about The Swan as the Overall Winner. They managed to capture the essence of our community spirit and the way The Swan works as a pub, a school and a community hub.

The quick announcement was made online:

Here are some of the team that were involved in the award application and ongoing renovation work who came down to celebrate the achievement. They were joined by some of the local community. There are many more involved and also the whole local community too who have helped making The Swan a very special place. We must have a special thanks to our Bar Staff who have shown amazing adaptability throughout the last couple of years especially through all the Covid changes.
