The Swan has always had a reputation for having a good range and a fully stocked cellar. This has been reflected with The Swan being listing in CAMRA's 'Good Beer Guide', and a 'Cask Marque' for 'excellence in the service of cask ale'.

The Swan holds two annual beer festivals; one during May and one during November to commemorate Saint Edmund's Day. The Swan is also hosting a music festival in May and there will be live music throughout the year.

The November festival takes place within the pub while the May festival traditionally takes place in the outbuildings and garden. There are usually upwards of twenty beers on offer, selected from a particular region of the UK.

Past festivals have included Suffolk, the West Country, and the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The beers on offer range from light ales to dark porters – something for every palette!
