Midweek Waterfront Lunch, 24th February 2016

The Swan Inn, Lower Street, Stratford St Mary. CO7 6JR

We have tried to pick pubs alternately in the North or South of Maritime Essex and so this month we have picked the well reviewed Swan at Stratford St Mary, on the river Stour near Dedham Vale in the heart of Constable County. The pub boasts a good well kept cellar and brews some of its own beer.  The reviews of the food are good.
