Love it here, food is always delicious and portions very generous. Service is excellent, staff always very friendly.
Visit was early on a Thursday evening, sat in the conservatory where plenty of space. Food arrived in timely fashion, main meals homemade, tasty, good quantity. Table service good. Will be booking again.
Nice food, freshly prepared, reasonable price, very good friendly service. We also liked the alfresco dining on the roofed patio.

very enjoyable meal. Good service and pleasant people will go again
Fabulous and friendly service , lovely waitress , very warm and cosy , and amazing food . My first meal out in ages , and sooooo good.
Great social distancing, food was lovely. I would highly recommended coming again once the pandemic is over.
Disappointing this time-below usual standards. We were given the worst table in the pub for 4 people-small round table with 4 high chairs-we had an OAP with us and table was next to the door in and out to the garden! When I asked for a different table- for obvious reasons-it was made obvious they did not want to do it and begrudgingly just swapped 1 of the high chairs for another high chair with arms!!! There was no social distancing among the obvious regulars and not all were eating substantial meals - only drinking. There was clear mixing of households on the same tables and on tables near eachother in the conservatory and back room. We were not told of any ‘time limit’ on our table yet they came to tell us they needed the table while we were finishing our drinks! After an £80+ bill in relatively unsafe environment - they were welcome to it. Very disappointing and somewhat unsafe visit on this occasion. I know everyone is pressurised under these regulations but that does not mean standards and hospitality should drop. Being a key worker at a hospital-working throughout the pandemic-my standards have never dropped-so I expect the same from other service providers.
Great food and service would highly recommend. Good social distance in place.
Lovely Sunday Lunch visit was seated in the conservatory which was very nice it felt very Christmassy with a lovely real tree & decorations, will be returning!
Very safe environment great food and service would highly recommend
Fantastic service throughout. Lovely food as always, staff polite and pleasant
We ate from the 2 people 2 courses for £20. There was a wide range of choice and we were really pleased with our food.
Very good meal in great surroundings. Would certainly recommend you go.
Large portions, nice food fish good and good service thank you
I went with my girlfriend she had a steak and I had the lamb shank excellent meal and service also very good value
First time visiting the Swan. The service was excellent then came the food. Very tasty and very decent portions. The food was piping hot and cooked to perfection. Beautiful setting, very clean and friendly staff with excellent knowledge of the food. We shall be going to the Swan again. Please keep doing what you do best.
The staff were excellent and there were no problems with distancing. The food was very good particularly the Bread and Butter pudding. Well done to everybody
The best Sunday lunch I've had for a long time.
As good as always, food was excellent and good service.
Lovely family meal, thank you! Great to see you open again😁
The food was average at best, felt like it was rushed. The young girl that served us all night was tremendous. If not for her it would have been a very bad experience, she was a star. Wish I could remember her name.
Great food, and a nice atmosphere. Always a pleasure Thanks.
Nice place to eat will pay another visit very soon
