The Swan Inn

19/06/2026

Where it all started in LAKE GARDA, admiring the beautiful swans by the lake knowing that our offer had been accepted and we were ready to purchase The Swan Inn! 🦢

SEVEN YEARS TODAY we collected the keys to our FOREVER PUB after a lengthy and challenging conveyancing process to get it over the line! 🔑

Wednesday 19th June 2019 will be a day etched in our memory forever, thinking what have we done?, have we bitten off more than we can chew?, this is going to cost a small fortune to put right? how on earth are we going to get this pub looking alive again and bring back the customers? 😊

However I’m pleased to say we did do it, with the help of our amazing family, friends, team of Staff, contractors and suppliers and of course all our LOYAL CUSTOMERS who came back to support us week in week out! ♥️

Our GRATITUDE IS ENDLESS and we can’t wait to see what the future holds! 💫

All our love

Shula & Phil ###

Spearheaded by Tom Kerridge we are backing the campaign, calling for a 10% rate for all hospitality businesses, alongside other trade associations and industry colleagues.

Our members have consistently prioritised a lower rate of VAT, on a par with the majority of Europe, to stimulate growth and investment in our essential sector, and allow us to thrive.
