Just visiting the area from Scotland, food was lovely, beer was cold, I even went back the next morning for breakfast. The staff and Tony are very friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend visiting if you are in the area. They also offer a Blue Light discount on food of 15%.

1st time customer and found The Swan to have great service, atmosphere and food. Everything really was super. Thank you Michael and Tony (also known as Darren) for great service. Well done all the Team ?
The Swan is a picture-perfect Chef & Brewer pub on the bank of the Basingstoke Canal in Ash Vale. Lying between Aldershot and Farnborough and not far from Guildford in Surrey, our setting next to the canal and Ash Ranges means we're perfect for a visit after you've been exploring the local area. Soak up the views across the water from our lovely beer garden, perhaps while sipping a couple of delicious cask ales. We serve tasty pub food suitable for the whole family, while we're happy to welcome dogs along too. Be sure to save them some meat from your pub Sunday roast if you do. With free WiFi and disabled facilities available, book your table at our welcoming waterside pub online now.
