About the Swan

The Bures Swan Pub & Bistro is nestled in the village of Bures adjacent to the Stour Valley Footpath that runs along the beautiful River Stour. It is conveniently located between the village of Sudbury and Colchester town center and both National Rail and Chamber Bus stations are located within the village just a very short walking distance from us.

Bures is renowned for its breathtaking views, natural assets and relaxed atmosphere. Reflecting these attributes, we offer a warm welcome to all individuals and groups. Settling into an afternoon or evening at the Swan comes easily during the summer as you soak up the sun in our large beer garden or warm yourself by one of our two crackling fires during the colder months.

Whether you are dining in our intimate Bistro or partaking in a casual pub lunch you will enjoy a meal from our menu featuring both traditional British and eclectic British-French fusion cuisine. Our wine menu offers the perfect compliment to any meal and our ales include Green King Abbott, IPA as well as monthly featured guest ales.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Swan Pub & Bistro!
