The White Swan retains its traditional plan of four rooms and a corridor with only minor changes. On entry you are confronted in the lobby by doors with etched glass saying 'Bar' (right) and 'Sitting Rooms': this latter term embraces the 'Select Room'itself (front), 'Tap Room' (rear) and 'Lounge' (rear right). The Public Bar has a partly old bar-back but the bar counter itself dates from the 1980’s and has an even more recent counter top. The bar also has some original bench seating, and boarded ceilings feature in the hallway, public bar and select room. Benched seating also features in the Lounge and Select Room but it has been reupholstered in a modern style. One fireplace is inter-war (select room) but the others are new. Small modern counter added in the lounge. Serving hatch in the passageway.
