Founded by Ruth Alice Rands, women’s knitwear brand HERD is a staple in our boutique.

HERD knitwear is described as ‘Honest as the Earth herself, our knitwear is nature unfurled. There is no harm, no squander, no toxicity, no needless travel. Made in the best of English wool traditions and brought to life. Our knitwear collections are all-natural complementary pieces that embody and imbue all that is the HERD way.’

Brill is a wonderful fish, I love it roasted whole; it has a wonderful buttery texture and nothing is wasted. It is also lovely portioned and grilled like this. Any cod fish is a wonderful match to wild garlic.

This lovely little salad sitting atop a slice of fried bread makes for a lovely brunch dish, or a light lunch, perfect for easter and the asparagus season.

Soft boiled eggs are a breakfast staple, occasionally we like to jazz up the soldiers to go with them too.

Cotswold locals Clement and Beatrice wanted to find a way to showcase the work of their neighbouring creative communities, to celebrate their craftsmanship and help to share their stories with customers across the country. Beatrice, Co-founder of Vigour & Skills, shares the story of their platform and their mission “to re-shape how we shop, with a focus on sustainability, storytelling, and craftsmanship.”

London and Wiltshire based art dealer Domenica Marland has curated the art on the walls in The Swan. She is passionate in advocating young and up-and-coming artists, all of whose works are all available to buy from our Art Menu.

British potter Richard Pomeroy has been an artist for most of his life, painting in oil on canvas. He came to pottery recently, in 2015. All of the pieces are hand-built in his studio in Bruton, Somerset, using porcelain clay. We are delighted to welcome, in partnership with the Lyndsey Ingram Gallery, an exhibition of ceramics by Richard Pomeroy.

Pumpkins are the classic winter ingredient. Seen on menus across the country, the are fabulous in soups, simply roasted atop polenta, or pickled and served with cheeses, pates and rillettes. We have so many come out of the garden, from butternut and onion squash, to the big blue skinned crown princes. They store well through the winter and we put them to good use throughout the colder months.

As we move into wintery times, roasted pumpkin with soft and creamy burrata is always a popular little dish, using up the last of our soft herbs in the garden in a delicious nutty pesto to round everything off.

Menswear brand Kestin is a firm favourite in our boutique. Here we catch up with Kestin, whose vision is “to produce product that stands the test of time and tells a story, weaving in references from my Scottish heritage and making them relevant for today.”

As one of the first brands to pioneer the use of probiotics in skincare, we are delighted to have an exclusive partnership with Aurelia London.

It's such a joy to collaborate again with Thyme. This is my third collection and I always love using Caryn's beautiful illustrations as a starting point for my ceramics. Inspired by her autumnal drawings of oak leaves and horse chestnut I used leaves sourced from my garden and Holland park to press into a speckled stoneware clay body.

We are delighted to launch a capsule collaboration with Andión using our botanically inspired prints on their beautifully made, hand-smocked blouses.

Andión is a mother-daughter atelier working from the beautiful hills of Galicia in northeastern Spain. Each of their pieces are lovingly crafted in a small workshop surrounded by cornfields, eucalyptus, and oak trees. Always handmade and always inspired by their Galician roots.
