That’s our way of flagging the places that go further — beyond “dogs allowed”, with a genuinely warm welcome for dogs inside.

The Swan in Cheltenham is one of those pubs that quietly flips expectations. It looks like your classic free house from the outside, but step in and you’ll find a place that leans hard into independent drinks and seriously good Indian food… the kind of combo that keeps people coming back.

Behind the bar, it’s all about championing local. Expect real ales, craft beers, proper ciders and lagers from Gloucestershire and the surrounding counties, alongside spirits and soft drinks from independent producers. Even the wine list leans thoughtful, with European bottles, including organic and natural options that keep things interesting.

Then there’s the food… which brings a whole different energy. Fresh, vibrant Indian dishes designed for sharing, snacking, or settling in for a full meal, all built around quality ingredients and proper spice. It’s the kind of menu that encourages “let’s just order a few things” and see where it goes.

It’s relaxed, a little unexpected, and full of character… a proper meeting point for good drinks, great food, and easy-going catch-ups.
