The Swan is a Grade II listed pub in Little Totham, Essex, England.[1] The building has a whitewashed plaster exterior and a red tiled roof, with a large garden.[2]
The building mainly originates from the 17th and 18th centuries, though there are 19th century additions to its rear.[1]
The pub was CAMRA's National Pub of the Year for 2002 and 2005.[3][4][5] In June 2013, the pub closed unexpectedly, prompting a group of 50 villagers to form Friends of the Swan, campaigning for it to stay as a pub. It was then sold to Phil Cornell who planned to reopen it in December.[6] In 2025, The Daily Telegraph listed it as the best pub in Essex.[2] It celebrates an annual Summer Beer Festival.[2]
