Swan at Southrop
Welcome to The Swan at Southrop, a beautifully kept early 17th century Cotswold inn, situated on the village green in Southrop, an idyllic village in the heart of the Leach Valley. This quintessential English village pub comes complete with a pretty restaurant, a separate bar, open fireplaces, a skittle alley, a private room and accommodation in the beautifully appointed cottages on the Southrop Manor Estate.
The pub is run by Lana and Sebastian Snow, who moved from their iconic West London restaurant “Snows on the Green”, voted one of the UK's top 100 restaurants by Tatler magazine. Since their arrival in Gloucestershire in 2008, they have attracted people from far and wide to sample Sebastian’s highly acclaimed “turf to table” food, the pub’s award-winning beers and wines, and to enjoy the warm service from Lana, management couple Dom and Joelle Abbott, and the rest of the front of house team.
The Swan is at the heart of Southrop’s village community, with locals regularly competing in skittle matches and enjoying a drink in the buzzy bar, especially at the weekends.
Food and wine critic Ned Halley reviewed us on our second day after opening.
"We very much look forward to welcoming you to The Swan,
whether you are looking for a quiet dinner by a roaring fireplace,
a relaxed pint and club sandwich on the village green or a
celebration dinner in our beautiful private dining room.”
Sebastian, Lana and the team

Chlõe Weston finds her perfect Inn and forgets to leave enough room for the pudding.
Ned Halley Review
15 Sep 2008
Pubs change hands so often that we should not have been surprised to discover the Swan had reopened under new ownership just the day before our visit. The talk in the bar gave the game away. Old customers were remarking on new furnishings and changes to the menu. A new barmaid was being shown how to pull a pint.
"The 2009 village fete was an amazing success, and The Swan provided scrumptious food for all!"

Sebastian Snow is Head Chef at The Swan at Southrop, which he runs with his wife Lana, having moved with his young family to the Cotswolds in August 08.
Now working in the middle of a lush farming county, Sebastian has been able to fulfill his passion for ‘turf to table’ cooking, working with local suppliers to source the finest ingredients from the surrounding countryside. Since day one, his locally inspired cuisine, which also shows some strong influences from his Italian mother’s Roman heritage, has met with great critical acclaim and has met with great acclaim and has reinforced The Swan’s reputation as a serious foodie destination.
He was for many years the Chef/Owner of the iconic West London Restaurant Snows on the Green, voted by Tatler as one of the top 100 restaurants in the UK as well as three other restaurants in the capital. He is greatly experienced as a cookery school teacher, having spent many summers running a cookery school in Orvieto, and is a veteran of numerous fundraising trips including trekking the Sahara and cycling across Death Valley and in June 2010 bicycling 1000 miles from John 'O' Groats to Lands End!
