Good Friday 2025 – Sunshine, Showers & a Proper Pub Fire

Ah, Good Friday in Britain. One minute it’s flip-flops and suncream, the next it’s soggy socks and muttering about the Met Office. After a glorious week of sunshine, the long weekend has arrived in true British style — damp, drizzly, and determined to ruin your plans for a BBQ.

Still, it’s not all bad. At The Swan Inn in Abbotsbury, we’ve got just the thing to take the edge off a wet spring afternoon — a real coal fire, crackling away and ready to warm your bones. Forget standing under the hand dryer in the gents trying to dry your coat — pull up a chair and toast yourself back to life the old-fashioned way.

At least the kids got a few good days of sunshine in before school starts again next week. And let’s face it, there’s something deeply British (and slightly comforting) about ending a sunny spell with a wet bank holiday and a pint by the fire.

So if you’re wandering around Abbotsbury this Good Friday, damp around the edges and dreaming of dry socks, you know where to come. Cold drinks, hot fire, and classic pub comfort — all waiting for you at The Swan Inn.

Looking for a cosy pub with a real fire in Abbotsbury this Easter weekend? The Swan Inn has you covered — quite literally, if it keeps raining like this…
