24 and 25 June 2021:
Decided to pop into Compton after a bit of a walk along the canal...
Never had been to the Swan when we've moored up at Compton and as it was a lovely day indeed, a pint certainly beckoned!
It looks great and welcoming from the outside and the inside was nicely decorated and spacious too. Social distancing was maintained with table service necessary and applied. Nice to see the locals inside enjoying their pub no doubt..
There are lots of outdoors seating and tables with umbrellas as well just in case of rain or too much of the sun...
As an ale drinker, the Old Empire IPA pint was perfectly kept, nicely chilled and deliciously squaffable..the McCoy's cheese and onion crisps were perfect with my pints as well...
A big thank you to Ash and Steph for your amazing cheerful welcome and your smiling service as well, even though you were masked when serving...your eyes smiled broadly still...
Thanks guys and to all the other staff as well...definitely recommend your Swan to all us canal boaters. Will be back again at some point in the future when chugging by on the canal. Until then, stay safe...
Read moreMy Partner and I organised her 60th Birthday party at this particular Banks's pub last night (30th July) and I can honestly say we couldn't have picked a better venue.

Nothing is too much trouble for the staff at this Pub, and we've made some lovely friends since we started to frequent here. Just wish I'd have known how nice a Pub it was years ago. Thanks Guys for a Fantastic time.xx P.s the cheese cobs...

This is a black country pub where a spade is called a spade. If you can leave PC outside, come in, order a pint, pull up a stool and enjoy a natter. Highly recommended for those of us who enjoy a good old fashioned ...
