We also welcomed on board John Blagbrough and his team at Blagbrough Contracts Ltd who worked wonders (with our builders' help) on our commercial kitchen area.

The property has been fully rewired - over 2000 metres of new electrical wiring has gone into the property. We also have new flooring, new toilets, new windows, a new internal layout and cellar and a new bar.

If you are interested in what happened to the old bar? .... have you heard of the Boat Project in Emsworth? We donated the old bar hatch to the project - further information on this project can be found at http://www.theboatproject.com

Public Meeting
Friday 1st July 2011
St Nicholas Church Hall
Oh my goodness!!!!!!!
We invited a select number of local Breweries to come along and bring their Ales for tasting by you. The weather held and we had a fanstastic BBQ. As a best guestimate we think that 256 adults came along that evening ... in the space of 3 hours!

A LOCAL BUSINESS FOR LOCAL PEOPLE -
We very much believe in the ethos of local businesses supporting each other and have implemented this from the very beginning by using local-ish Solicitors on the purchase and local Architects for the drawings and Planning Application.
Supporting local business/ trades is very important to us and we hope that in return local businesses will support us too. In today's economy too many small businesses are failing because of lack of support or are being forced out of the market place by the larger retailers / property developers.
Please get in Touch
Please feel free to email us (through the “Contact Us” link or directly to thewhiteswanbosham@live.co.uk ) with any questions you would like answered or continue to send us your ideas / thoughts. We really do like receiving them and they have given us so much inspiration already.
If you would like to join our already expanding mailing list - it really is the best way to have the latest progress reports emailed direct to you - then please click on the link at the top of this page.
(I cannot believe the number of people who have joined the list in such a short space of time so thank you Neil of HW Marketing for all your hard work in setting this up and keeping it up to date on our behalf).
