Once upon a time, weddings were simple affairs with the ceremony taking place in a church and the reception in a community hall or hotel event space. Nowadays, tradition has gone out the window and couples are now looking to express themselves through their choice of venue.

And what better place for a good old celebration (we refrained from using the words “knees-up”) than a pub?

Following a full refurbishment and under new ownership, The Swan offers a warm and relaxed, yet modern and stylish setting with exposed brick walls, open fires and cosy armchairs, accompanied by a menu of high quality, delicious dishes, made using locally sourced British ingredients.

Occupying a charming building of historical interest, The Swan dates back to the 19th century when it was used to refresh both horses and drivers between Farnborough railway station, the Queen’s Hotel (now the Holiday Inn) and North Camp railway station. Workers of the then newly built Balloon Factory also used to frequent the public house.

Owned by the TAG Group and managed by Aviator, the gastropub is located on Farnborough Road, next to the Farnborough Air Sciences Trust Museum (FAST).
