**APPEAL FOR INFORMATION**
All of us here at The White Swan really value, love and enjoy welcoming all our customers to the pub and hope that we provide a kind, fun and warm atmosphere for all.
So we were truly upset and saddened at the actions of a trio of customers last night, who stole one of our beloved Dalmatian ornaments. 😢
If anyone recognises the people in the image below or has any information as to the whereabouts of our treasured doggo, please please contact us ASAP. 🙏🙏
Meanwhile, it’s business as usual for us today- please do come along and enjoy a drink with us! 🍻🍷

Now, let's dive into some testimonials from last week:
"Great pub and atmosphere! Alyce and Chelsea are amazing, always kind and smiling. The best place for a pint after work with my colleagues :)"
"Chelsea was a great bar attendant she even knew what we wanted. Thanks so much for making it a good night !"
"Spent an afternoon here, Guinness is the best I’ve had out of Ireland nice!!!! All in all a great pub, bar staff were friendly and Alice the manager looks after her guest"
"Good solid old school boozer"
"For my first visit to London, I traveled about the city and visited a dozen or so pubs for a pint. This is the one I fell in love with and continued to come back. The atmosphere is inviting and home-like. Good beer selection and an amazing music playlist that really adds to the friendliness. The icing on the cake was meeting three English gentlemen that welcomed me with great conversation and an unforgettable experience. John, Grant, and Collin, if you see this, know that you helped make my visit remarkable. Thank you!"
