The Swan, South Wootton

The Swan, South Wootton Where excellence meets relaxing, fine local beers and great food, friendly efficient staff and a very warm welcome. You’ll enjoy a warm welcome at The Swan Inn.

Permanently closed.

Welcome to The Swan Inn – a traditional English country pub. Known affectionately as The Mucky Duck, our pub was first established in 1836 and is located in the South Wootton area of Kings Lynn. We’re just a few miles from the Royal Sandringham Estate and the sandy beaches of North Norfolk – so The Swan is the perfect place to pop in for a meal and a pint once you’ve finished your sightseeing or d

ay on the beach. We’re a family friendly and dog friendly pub, with a large beer garden and a conservatory restaurant where we serve freshly prepared food at great prices. In March 2019, Steven Bird took over management of The Swan from Alexander Ponting, the owner for the previous 15 years. Steven is a long-term South Wootton resident, and previous Swan employee who aims to continue the long tradition of the family pub, offering a wide choice of ales and spirits and some great food.

We're sorry to share that The Swan will be closing its doors from today.

Like many pubs across the country, we’ve faced an incredibly challenging economic climate over the past year. Rising costs across energy, food and drink, wages, business rates and general overheads have made it increasingly difficult for independent operators to keep sites like The Swan sustainable.

Following recent discussions with our landlord Stonegate Group we have been unable to agree a commercially viable long term arrangement, and therefore have been asked to provide vacant possession of the property. We explored ways to continue trading and looked at potential options for the pub’s future, but no alternative arrangement has been confirmed at this stage.

As a result, we will now be closing from today.

We want to say thank you to every customer who has walked through our doors — for Sunday lunches, after-work drinks, family meals, birthday celebrations, and community events. Your support has meant everything to the team here.

Pubs like The Swan have always been about the people who fill them, and we truly hope the doors will reopen in the future so the community can continue to enjoy this space.

It’s shaping up to be a great weekend for sport here at The Swan 🦢

⚽️ Premier League drama incoming…
Man City desperately need a win to keep themselves in the title race, given that they could be nine points behind leaders Arsenal at kick-off, so expect fireworks against Liverpool!
Man United’s new-manager bounce gets a real test against a sharp, counter-attacking Spurs side...
And at the other end of the table, Leeds and Forest are level on points and battling to stay out the relegation zone 💥

⚽️ Away from the Premier League, we’ve got the Canaries taking on Blackburn - a perfect excuse to grab a pint, settle in, and watch it unfold with us 🍻

🏉 Six Nations action steps up a gear this weekend too…
