New era beckons for the former White Swan pub in Chesterfield

New life is to be breathed into the former White Swan pub in Chesterfield.

The Pig and Pump - which describes itself as Chesterfield's 'newest, coolest pub' - will open at 16 St Mary's Gate on Friday, November 23.

From 9pm on that night there will be music from the Jake Henry Trio while from 9pm on Saturday, November 24, former Ocean Colour Scene guitarist Andy Bennett will be performing.

The pub's Facebook page states: "We'll be serving local craft ales, beer from afar and fabulous eats."

It adds there will be live music every Saturday.

New jobs will be created thanks to the Pig and Pump - the pub is looking for bar staff, chefs, a kitchen porter and a cleaner.
