The White Swan Hoddesdon: Your Go To For Pub Entertainment

A Historic Pub at the Heart of Hoddesdon

Proudly local since the 16th century

Welcome to The White Swan – a landmark and a cherished meeting place in the centre of Hoddesdon for more than four hundred years. First recorded in the 1590s as The Swanne, our timber-framed building has stood through changing times, bustling markets, and generations of locals finding good company under its roof.

Today, that same spirit continues. Step inside and you’ll find a warm, traditional pub brought to life with friendly faces, proper drinks, quality plates of food, and the easy comfort that only a true local can offer. Whether you’re here for a quiet pint, a catch-up in the garden, or the buzz of the weekend, The White Swan remains exactly what it has always been – a place where the town comes together.

Where the Town Comes Alive

A town-centre pub still bringing people together, day and night

From its late-16th-century timber frame to the lively atmosphere it’s known for today, The White Swan stands as Hoddesdon’s only Grade II* listed pub - a beautiful piece of living history that still sets the pace for the town’s social life. For centuries it welcomed travellers and traders; now it’s where locals come together for everything from a quiet pint to a full weekend of music, laughter and late nights. Fridays spark into life with the DJ, Saturdays are all about big live bands, and Sundays slow down with good food and easy comfort. Add a welcoming bar, a spacious beer garden, and a team who take pride in looking after people, and you’ll find all the ingredients of a proper local with plenty going on. If you’d like to know more about who we are and what we do, you’ll find it all here.
