An idyllic setting in the Vale of Glamorgan and a history that dates back to the 12th century makes The Old Swan Inn a magnet for gastro pub enthusiasts. Holding sway in the centre of town as its oldest public house, the ancient stone exterior and classic interiors of low beam ceilings and dark wood furniture create a unique ambience that warm hospitality accentuates. In winter, a roaring fire greets guests in the main dining room while in summer the attached beer garden beckons.

A blackboard menu offers traditional pub food and daily seasonal specials. Beer battered cod with homemade tartar sauce served with chunky chips and sweet garden peas is the house signature dish. Other options include Spanish omelette, olive and brie tartlets, tortillas, 8oz rump steak with fried mushrooms and peas, chilli con carne, chicken and bacon tower with BBQ sauce and roasted pork and leek sausages with a rich red wine jus and mash. Sandwiches and baguettes add variety. Round off with apple crumble cheesecake or homemade pancakes filled with chocolate.

The bar serves an impressive selection of local guest ales from a variety of brewers including The Otley Brewing Company in Pontypridd Wye Valley Brewery and the RCH Brewery.
