About

The Swan should lead the Staines pubs-and-bars batch because it combines the town's best waterside setting with a strong official food-and-drink pitch. Fullers describes a 16th-century Thames-side hotel serving fine food, delicious drinks and river views, which gives it a more complete and distinctive pub identity than most local competitors.\n\nFor visitors especially, it is the easiest standout Staines pub recommendation.
