The Swan at Chiddingfold – Petworth Rd, Chiddingfold, Godalming GU8 4TY, UK
He had some shares in the pub (c. 1999- 2003). Roger Taylor and Gary Brooker have teamed up with NCP heir David Gosling and bought a pub.
With white tablecloths and pictures of spaniels and soldiers, The Swan is putting its neck even more on the line with what it calls an Edwardian dining room. The menu’s that much more fancy-sounding, too. Warm cracknel salad using Parma ham for crackling? How wasteful, chided our house-husband friend who keeps a stricter eye on the budget than most of the neighbours. They’d also splashed out on the balsamic vinegar in a squid, chorizo and rocket salad, again showing a disregard for local produce but a knowledge of modern European restaurant assemblies.
(…) The clientele was not particularly porcine, but as geriatric as the interior design – clearly not there on the off chance that Roger Taylor would drop in to shoot the breeze on a leather Chesterfield in the bar. Their hostility towards our free-range children, though, was more than made up for by lovely waitresses.
