The Swan, Lyndhurst recently welcomed local MP for the New Forest East, Dr Julian Lewis to meet with the new General Manager and pub team.
The pub has had a short closure for an investment in the infrastructure of the building, but the doors are open again and the team are back serving the Lyndhurst community. The reopening also welcomes familiar and some new faces behind the bar, including new General Manager, Martin Nile. Martin has worked in the hospitality industry for 18 years and is now fulfilling his and his wife’s dream of running a country pub together. Martin enjoys giving great customer service to all his customers and providing them with memorable experiences and follows the rule of arriving as a customer and leaving as a friend.

I believe Martin and the team will maintain the high standards of the pub, and I cannot wait for my next visit.”
