Once upon a time, The Swan was destined to cease trading and plans were in place for the building to be replaced by a supermarket. After heavy petitioning from the community, the pub was kept alive with the support of Halesowen Council and purchased by Black Country Ales. With 16 hand pulls including 5 ciders, The Swan has been returned to its rightful place within the Halesowen community. The interior contains two coal fires, and outside is a spacious beer garden and a heated smoking shelter with live sports.
Customers generally enjoyed the food, noting it was fresh and tasty, although there were some complaints about specific items being cold or not prepared correctly.
