Welcome to The Old Swan Uppers

The Old Swan Uppers pub and restaurant lies close to the River Thames in the village of Cookham in the heart of Royal Berkshire. Formerly the New Inn, it was refurbished last century, enhancing the old country pub character.

The pub was named after the ancient activity of "swan upping" or marking of the swans on the Thames. This began when the Crown claimed ownership of all mute swans - at a time when swans were considered an important food source for banquets and feasts!

We may not have swan on the menu today but you can be assured of a wide choice of superbly prepared dishes and an excellent choice of ales and wines.

A friendly mix of locals and visitors alwalys creates a warm and lively pub ambience.

Join us for lunch or an evening meal .... or simply pop in to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy a drink.
