Found in Falmer, a village just outside Brighton in East Sussex, is the Swan Inn, a traditional country pub dating back to at least the 1700s. This public house is a truly idyllic British pub full of history and period features.
The pub is home to three separate bars, three outside patio areas and a 16th century barn for functions.
Located close to the Amex Stadium (Brighton & Hove Albion FC), next to Sussex and Brighton University and within South Downs National Park, the pub attracts a range of visitors. Walking and cycling groups, family outings and football fans all use the pub as a stopping point.
The family-run public house got in touch with Trent Furniture when they decided new furniture was needed in the saloon bar, one of the pub’s three bar areas.
“I was looking online for a couple weeks without success before my wife found Trent Furniture,” explains Daren Little, Swan Inn manager. “I got in touch and the response was fast and they were able to answer all of my questions. When I arranged to visit their showroom, I liked the quality, price and how helpful they were.”
A mixture of tables and chairs were ordered in a walnut finish to match with the traditional appearance of the pub. This included eight Shaker Tables, one Farmhouse Tulip Table and 22 Boston Side Chairs. Some bottles of Relay Spray to clean the table tops during service completed the order.
“We are a busy pub that has a great range of customers. We’ll be buying more furniture next year when I refurbish the two other bar areas,” adds Daren.
We think that the traditional pub furniture is a perfect match for the period features currently in place, such as the wooden beams. We can’t wait to see what the entire pub looks like once the other areas of refurbished.
