The Swan in Cranfield is under new management and has been completely refurbished. The dining area has been transformed into a Gurkha restaurant to the same standard of the existing other Gurka restaurants: the Royal Gurkha in Bedford and Diya Royal/Griffin in Kempston offering Nepalese and Indian cuisine.

At the opening, guests were entertained by a kilted band member of a Gurka regiment. One of the owners wore a smart Gurkha military uniform and beautiful saris were being worn by the ladies. A selection of Greene King beers were available.

Since the Tier 4 regulations were implemented the pub has had to close but they are providing a take-away and delivery service. Email: moc.liamg@kunehctikahkrug Telephone: 01234 757689.
