🥶 GOOD MORNING FROM THE SWAN! 🦢

Well, hasn't someone turned the thermostat down overnight?! It's absolutely Baltic out there this morning, so we've done the sensible thing and got the pub all warmed up ready for you lovely people. Because let's face it, nobody enjoys turning into a human icicle! 😂

🔥 FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD!

Our kitchen is serving up piping hot meals from 12–3pm and again 5–9pm, guaranteed to warm your cockles and save you from having to stand in your own kitchen pretending you enjoy cooking!

🍽️ Bring a friend and take advantage of our 2 mains for just £15!

🥩 Or perhaps you're feeling a little more sophisticated? We've also got 2 steaks and a bottle of w**e for just £30! Because apparently eating steak and drinking w**e is much better than sitting at home eating beans on toast. Who knew?!

🧠 THURSDAY QUIZ NIGHT!

Quizmaster Matt is back tonight with his usual supply of brain-teasing questions, questionable jokes and enough brain food to make you realise just how little you actually know!

And yes... WE'RE FULLY BOOKED AGAIN! 👏

⚽ TONIGHT'S FOOTBALL

5:45pm – Crystal Palace & Bournemouth in Europa League action.

8:00pm – Sunderland & Brighton in Conference League action.

So whether you're here for the food, the drinks, the football or to prove that you're considerably more intelligent than your mates (good luck with that), we've got you covered.

Wrap up warm, drag yourselves out of the house and come and see us!

The heating's on, the food's hot and the drinks are cold. What more could you possibly want?! 😂

Have a cracking Thursday everyone! ❤️🦢

04/11/2026

☀️ WELL, LOOK WHO NEEDS FEEDING AND WATERING AGAIN! 😂🍻

Good morning everyone!

If cooking, washing up and making decisions all sound like far too much effort today, we've got a rather attractive alternative... LET US DO IT! 😉

🍔 FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD!
Our kitchen is open 12–3pm and 5–9pm, with our ever-popular 2 MAIN MEALS FOR £15 offer alongside our specials board. Plenty of choice, so there's really no excuse for going home hungry!

🍺 DRINKS DEALS
We've got plenty of promotions to keep the thirstier members of the population happy, including DOUBLE UP YOUR SPIRIT FOR JUST £2 EXTRA! Because apparently one just isn't enough! 🤣

⚽ TONIGHT'S FOOTBALL
- 5:45pm – Fenerbahçe v Liverpool
- 8pm – Slavia Prague v Arsenal
Two games, plenty of opinions and absolutely no shortage of people who reckon they could do a better job than the manager!

So, whether you're joining us for food, a few drinks or to shout at the television with complete authority, we'll see you at THE SWAN! 🦢

Leave the cooking to us and the football analysis to yourselves. We wouldn't want to take away all your talents! 😂🍻

03/11/2026

🌧️ GOOD MORNING FROM THE SWAN! 🍻

Well, hasn't the weather decided to cheer us all up this morning! Grey skies, drizzle and enough dampness to make you question whether leaving the house was ever a good idea! 😂

Fear not, though, because we've got the heating on, the kitchen ready and plenty of warm hospitality waiting for you. No need to sit at home staring miserably out of the window when you could be letting us do the cooking and washing up!

🍽️ FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD!

Our kitchen is open 12–3pm and 5–9pm, with our full menu, 2 Mains for £15 offer and specials board all available.

Our pork belly is going down particularly well at the moment. Perhaps it's the weather, perhaps it's just because it's delicious, or perhaps we're all entering hibernation mode and need feeding accordingly! 🐷😂

⚽ TONIGHT'S FOOTBALL – CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

We've got two games on the screens, both kicking off at 8pm:

🔴 Barcelona v Villa
🔴 Man Utd v Roma

So, whether you're here for the football, the food, a few drinks or simply somewhere warm to escape the British summer we've somehow ended up with in November, we've got you covered!

Have a fantastic day, don't work too hard (somebody has to keep the economy going, apparently!) and hopefully we'll see a few of you sometime today.

The Swan – keeping you warm, fed and watered, whatever the weather throws at us! 🦢🍻

02/11/2026

🦢 THE SWAN – MONDAY ESCAPE PLAN! 🍻

Well, that's it… HALF TERM IS OVER! 🎉

The little darlings are back at school, the house is hopefully a little quieter, and you can finally get back to doing what you do best… absolutely nothing! 🤣

Why not let us take care of things for a change? We'll do the cooking, we'll do the washing up, and we'll even keep you lovely and warm. Basically, we're offering you a break from being a responsible adult! You're welcome! 😂

🍔 FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD!

Our kitchen is open:
⏰ 12pm–3pm and 5pm–9pm.

We've got our 2 MAIN MEALS FOR JUST £15 offer running, alongside our specials board, so plenty of reasons to leave the kitchen at home alone!

🍻 DRINKS DEALS

We've got various drinks offers available, including 2 selected bottles for just £8!

⚽ TONIGHT'S FOOTBALL

Newcastle v Everton – 8pm kick-off.

So, whether you're escaping the school run, avoiding the washing up or simply looking for an excuse to have someone else cook your dinner, we've got you covered!

Have a fantastic Monday everyone. We look forward to seeing you at The Swan.

And remember… calories don't count when someone else has cooked it! 😉🦢🍻

01/11/2026

☀️ SUNDAY FUNDAY AT THE SWAN! 🦢🍻

Firstly, a massive THANK YOU to everyone who came along last night! We hope you all had a fantastic evening of fun, laughter and probably a few drinks you weren't planning on having! 😂🍻

Now, it's Sunday, and for those of you who have reached the grand old age where cooking a roast dinner feels like far too much physical exertion, WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED! 🤣

🍽️ SUNDAY ROASTS – JUST £14!

Choose from:
🥩 Beef
🦃 Turkey
🥕 Roasted Vegetable Tart

All served with all the trimmings, including roasties, mash, veg, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding and lashings of gravy!

And if you still have room (or just fancy pushing your luck), add a dessert for only £3! 🍰

⚽ TODAY'S SPORT

🔴 Liverpool v Arsenal – 4.30pm kick-off.

🏎️ Mexican Grand Prix – from 8pm.

So there you have it… Sunday lunch sorted, the washing up avoided, the cooking avoided and the football taken care of.

Honestly, what more could you possibly want? Apart from someone to carry you home afterwards! 😂

Come and join us at The Swan. Good food, cold drinks and plenty of good company.

See you all soon, folks! 🦢🍻❤️

31/10/2026

🍺 THE SWAN – SATURDAY FUN! 🍺

Well, would you look at that… Saturday has arrived, and we've decided there's absolutely no reason to spend it doing housework, cooking or anything remotely sensible! 😂

🍔 FOOD, FOOD AND MORE FOOD!

Our kitchen is OPEN RIGHT THROUGH UNTIL 9PM, serving our full menu alongside our specials board.

So whether you're hungry enough to eat a horse (please don't, we've got a menu!) or just fancy a little something, we've got you covered.

🍹 DRINK DEALS!

We've got plenty of offers behind the bar to help you get into the weekend spirit.

And for those who like their drinks with a little extra excitement, we've got 2 BUZZ BALLZ FOR JUST £10!

Because apparently one just isn't enough! 😂

⚽🏎️ SPORT, SPORT AND MORE SPORT!

We've got a packed afternoon and evening of live action on our screens:

⚽ 12:30pm – Norwich v Watford
⚽ 12:30pm – Chelsea v Man Utd
⚽ 5:30pm – Spurs v Palace
⚽ 8:00pm – Villa v Fulham
🏎️ 9:00pm – Grand Prix Qualifying

Plenty to keep everyone entertained, although we can't guarantee you'll still be speaking to your mates after the football! 🤣

So come on down, grab yourself some food, enjoy a few drinks and make a day of it.

The Swan, Needham Market – good food, good drinks and questionable football opinions guaranteed!

Have a fantastic Saturday everyone. See you at the bar! 🍻🦢

30/10/2026

🍔🍾 HAPPY FRIDAY, FOLKS! IT'S TIME TO TREAT YOURSELF! 🍾🍔

Well, we've made it to Friday… just about! So why not forget about the washing, the ironing, the housework and all those other exciting things you could be doing and come and see us at THE SWAN! 😂

🍔 2 FOR 1 BURGERS – ALL DAY! 🍔

That's right, folks! Buy TWO burgers and get the CHEAPEST one FREE! Available right through until 9pm tonight.

And before anyone asks, NO, you can't just have one burger and expect half of it for free! We do have our limits! 🤣

🍾 A LITTLE BIT OF FIZZ, ANYONE? 🍾

Our large bottles of Spumante are just £12!

An absolute bargain… although availability may depend on whether Carol is watching! 👀😂

If you see Mark sneaking one out, you've seen nothing. We operate a strict policy of plausible deniability around here! 🤫

⚽ TONIGHT'S FOOTBALL ⚽

We're showing Sheffield United v Wrexham, kicking off at 8pm.

So grab yourself a burger, a cold drink, find a comfy seat and settle in for the evening. Just remember, shouting at the television doesn't actually make you the manager! 😂

🔥 KITCHEN OPEN ALL DAY UNTIL 9PM! 🔥

No afternoon break today, so there's plenty of time to get yourselves down here.

Good food, great drinks, football and plenty of questionable conversations… what more could you possibly want?

Have a fantastic Friday, everyone. We look forward to seeing you all at The Swan!

THE SWAN – WHERE THE BURGERS ARE HOT, THE FIZZ IS COLD AND CAROL IS ALWAYS WATCHING! 🦢🍔🍾🤣

29/10/2026

☀️ GOOD MORNING FROM THE SWAN! 🦢🍻

Well, folks, Thursday is here! The weekend is peeking over the horizon, the weather is doing whatever the hell it likes, and the Chancellor has been busy yesterday… so we thought we'd give you something to actually smile about! 😂

👨‍🍳 FIRST THINGS FIRST… A MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS TO KYLE! 🎉👏

Our very own Kyle has just passed his chef's apprenticeship WITH DISTINCTIONS! 🏆🔥

Absolutely brilliant achievement for a great guy who genuinely enjoys his work. We're all incredibly proud of you, mate!

There's just one little thing left to sort out… his choice of football team! 🤦‍♂️😂 Nobody's perfect, I suppose! MATE!!!! 🤣⚽

🍔 FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD! 🥩🍷

Our kitchen is open 12–3pm and 5–9pm, with the full menu and specials ready to tickle those taste buds!

💥 2 MAIN MEALS FOR JUST £15!

🥩🍷 2 STEAKS AND A BOTTLE OF W**E FOR JUST £30!

YES, YOU READ THAT RIGHT… £30! 😲

Fancy two sirloins? You're saving over £20! That's what I call a proper deal, not one of those financial announcements that leaves you wondering whether you can still afford the heating! 😂💷

So ditch the cooking, leave the washing-up to someone else, and let us do the hard work. 😉

🧠 THURSDAY QUIZ NIGHT!

It's quiz night with us tonight, but before you start asking… YES, IT'S FULLY BOOKED AGAIN! 🙌

A massive thank you to everyone supporting our quiz. ❤️ If you fancy joining us for a future one, get those seats booked early to avoid disappointment. We can't keep squeezing people in forever… although we're starting to think we need a bigger pub! 😂

⚽ TONIGHT'S FOOTBALL!

🏆 Carabao Cup action

🔵 Everton v Newcastle ⚫⚪

⏰ Kick-off at 7:45pm

Come and enjoy the match with a cold pint, a bite to eat and absolutely no VAR decisions to argue with at home… well, apart from the ones on our screens! 🤣🍺

So there you have it, people! Great food, cracking offers, football on the screens and a newly qualified chef who's now officially better at his job than he is at choosing a football team! 😂❤️

HAVE A FANTASTIC THURSDAY, EVERYONE!

Pop in, say hello, grab a bargain and let us look after you.

📍 The Swan, Needham Market

🍻 Good food, good drinks, good company… and the occasional questionable football opinion!

28/10/2026

☀️🥶 GOOD MORNING FROM THE SWAN! 🦢🍻

Well, hasn’t someone turned the thermostat down overnight?! 🥶 It’s absolutely Baltic out there, but at least it’s dry… so that’s something, isn’t it? 😂

Luckily, The Swan is warm, cosy and ready to welcome you in — because there’s only so much shivering one person can do before it becomes a hobby!

🍔 FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD! 🍟

Our kitchen is open 12–3pm and 5–9pm, serving up our full menu and plenty of reasons to abandon that cold kitchen at home!

💥 2 MAIN MEALS FOR JUST £15! 💥

And for those of you bringing the little ones along, we've got an offer that'll make the family outing even sweeter…

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 BUY A MAIN MEAL AND GET A KIDDIES' MAIN MEAL FOR JUST £1!

Because feeding the family shouldn't require a second mortgage! 😉😂

🎱 BINGO IS BACK THIS AFTERNOON!

Eyes down at 2pm for our fortnightly bingo session! Get yourselves down here, grab your dabbers and prepare to shout "HOUSE!" loud enough to frighten the regulars at the other end of the pub! 🤣

⚽ TONIGHT'S FOOTBALL — CARABAO CUP!

After last night's results, the question is… CAN WE GET AN EVEN BIGGER UPSET TONIGHT?! 😱

🔵 Man City v Brighton — 7:30pm

🔴 Liverpool v Chelsea — 8pm

Will the big boys do what they're supposed to do, or will someone else be packing their bags and blaming the referee?! 👀😂

🔥 Hot food, a warm pub, bargain meals, bingo and football. Honestly, what more do you want? A personal heating system and someone to carry you from the car? We can't promise the second one! 🤣

Pop in, warm up, grab a bite and make a day of it!

🍻 SEE YOU AT THE SWAN! 🦢

27/10/2026

🍻🦢 TUESDAY AT THE SWAN… BECAUSE COOKING AT HOME IS SO LAST YEAR! 🦢🍻

Good morning, Needham Market! 😎

Well, it’s Tuesday again… that magical day when the weekend feels a lifetime away, the washing-up hasn’t done itself, and someone in the house is asking what’s for dinner. 🙄

FEAR NOT… THE SWAN HAS YOU COVERED! 😂

🍔 FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD! 🍽️

Our kitchen is open 12pm–3pm and 5pm–9pm, serving our full menu alongside our specials board. Plenty of delicious choices to satisfy even the fussiest of eaters!

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 KIDDIES EAT FOR JUST £1! 👧🧒

Yes, you read that correctly! Just £1 for a kids' meal when purchasing a main meal. So bring the little darlings along… and save yourself the hassle of cooking at home! 😜

🍺 REAL ALE LOVERS, LISTEN UP! 🍺

Our guest ale, WOLF HOWLER, is proving rather popular! 🐺🍻

So if you fancy a pint, don't hang about until it's gone and then complain that nobody warned you! You've officially been warned. 😂

⚽ TONIGHT'S FOOTBALL! ⚽

The Carabao Cup brings us Fleetwood v Arsenal, kicking off at 8pm!

Come and enjoy the game with a proper pint, a bite to eat, and the company of people who definitely know more about football than the manager… apparently! 🤣
