5th February 2010: Last night residents and regulars, local business owners and valued suppliers all joined the team at The Swan in Salford, Milton Keynes to celebrate its 5th birthday in style.

The evening kicked off with a few words from the owner, Andrew Coath, who thanked both local suppliers and regulars for their commitment and support over the last five years. The party then got into full swing with fine food and flowing drinks on tap until the early hours.

“We were delighted with the turn out last night which was testament to the strong relationships we have with quality local suppliers, our regulars and the wider business community alike – a good time was had by all,” comments Christina Boyle, new general manager at The Swan. “We are now looking forward to the next five years and beyond! And are already busy planning some great events for the coming months.”

It was back in February, 2005 that The Swan opened its doors for the first time and over a million happy customers later it has now well and truly established itself as a favourite place for locals to eat, drink and relax. The Swan has always strived to become the hub of its community and over the years many have enjoyed taking part in some of its fantastic events such as gourmet cookery evenings, 'stiletto lunches' (local ladies in business networking lunches) and the regular steak nights. The pub's team is also proud of the fact that it has been in a position to give something back by raising over £150,000 for local charities through hosting charity balls, dress auctions and MacMillan coffee mornings.

The Swan is open every day from 10.30am until midnight, and serves hot food from its seasonal menu throughout the day. For more information about future events at The Swan keep an eye on www.swansalford.co.uk
