Excellent, lovely place! Will visit again in the near future!
Lovely meal would definitely return to the swan great service
Went for a birthday meal on the evening. The food was Beautiful , very well presented and the staff were friendly and helpful.
We have dined here several times and always left happy but this Sunday's visit was extra special. For starters, the homemade cauliflower cheese soup was ridiculously tasty and the main course was of an exceptionally high standard too - fresh and piping hot. The cheesecake to finish was nothing short of divine. An easy 10/10 on quality all round. In terms of service, staff are perfect too. They have great timing and impeccable manners, as well as being very friendly and presentable. If forced to come up with criticism to balance things a tiny bit, it would be great to see the vegetarian options switched up every now and again or perhaps a regular 'surprise' veggie special on a Sunday. There are two main options which are excellent but given how good this place is, we'd like to come back most weeks and I'm not sure I'd want the same two things time and again. That being said, the above comment shouldn't deter anyone (even veggies) from visiting The Swan because places that offer this kind of quality and service at a sensible price are few and far between.
Real pub food. Good quality. Good service & a few decent ales. A smashing find & dog friendly in the bar too. Will definitely be returning
Always lovely food. Lovely staff and owners. Took our 2 Dogs with us, lovely afternoon.
A good meal and service. Pub has a nice atmosphere.
As always the service and presentation at The Swan was perfect. On this occasion my wife and I chose the Road Beef Sunday Lunch. The meals were delivered to us with a selection of vegetables and they looked scrumptious, a proper Sunday roast. The waitress enquired to our satisfaction of the meals and we promptly replied that all was fine, however we did have the slightest of quibbles in that the beef although looking perfect was rather tough to the cutting and chewing. This said we still enjoyed our meals and will return to The Swan again without hesitation. Thank you and kind regards.
Excellent service, good food. Good beers, can’t fault it! We will be back

Lots of choices on the menu that we were tempted to try and will have to return to try the ones we hadn’t on this visit. Friendly service and good environment.
Good choice - lovely food - a very enjoyable experience.
Had a lovely Sunday lunch at the swan yesterday. Always great food and nice quiet atmosphere.
Had a lovely meal and all of the party were very happy with the food. Service was good the only thing we were a little disappointed with was having to move from our table without having the birthday cake served, we sat in the bar area but were all separated as we were a party of twelve.
Great food, good service. Never fails for us at the Swan.
Always good food at this place, fresh, tasty and hot. A very chirpy, efficient new waitress served our table of five, made our evening most enjoyable.
Excellent in every way! Food tasty and excellent value. Service welcoming and professional. Will return.
Excellent,friendly service,beautiful home cooked food.Highly recommended.Good choice and value for money
V. Good. Have rebooked for another meal. Says it all.
Attractive setting, good service, excellent choice, Good ales, great value
Unfortunately the regular manager was on leave and the staff seemed disorganised. The wait for food was in excess of an hour and Risotto was made with long grain rice.
Great service delivered by friendly staff. Food very nice, good menu.
Fantastic visit again , will definitely come again Value for money
Lovely lunch, we go often with my elderly grandmother. Brilliant choice of classic pub grub and variety of fish dishes. Reasonably priced and well worth the visit.
Lovely surroundings, friendly staff and a really tasty lunch for a very reasonable price
Lovely atmosphere, beautifully laid out and decorated, and the food was fabulous. Really nice to see the chef coming out to chat to diners as well Service was top notch too. A great place, have never been disappointed, always consistently good.
4 of us visited for lunch, a very pleasant young lady serving Bar and Restaurant. Food served hot, well cooked and in good time. Menu seemed to have a good wide range choice. We had no time pressure to leave the table which for our friends meeting was much appreciated. Only negative Toilets!! Really ned sorting out.
Gorgeous food, fantastic and friendly service! Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
7 of us for my Wife's birthday great service and great food we all had something different and everyone said how great the food was. You've got to try it!
Very nice. Great service. Will go again . Been meaning to go for a while
First time we had visited. First 15 mins spoiled by being sat next to a party with loud kids! Food was absolutely wonderful!
Lovely meal and attentive staff in spite of the fact that there was a private party going on so the pub was very busy.
Friendly atmosphere good pub grub play area great for kids
Second visit in two weeks. Good food, attentive staff and friendly atmosphere
Good Sunday lunch menu with excellent vegetarian option. Lots of choice, well cooked meal.
Very tasty and enjoyable meal. My only slight niggle was that after enjoying and paying for the meal, I popped to the loo on the way out to see a poster offering a "pie and a pint" for half the price I had paid for a pie, a pint and a pudding.
Good food. Good friendly service. Going again this week, and many more times I expect
Lovely food and atmosphere, never a bad meal here. Thank you.
A delightful lunch for ten ladies. Lovely choice of food all of which tasted delicious and the service was excellent
Went with the family to celebrate a first wedding anniversary, service really good, food lovely but T-bone steak a little tough, good time had by all tho.
It was a Great meal thank you very much .
We were a group of 5 including a 3 year old. The staff were friendly and professional. The food was excellent I had duck and the sauce was fantastic. My grand daughter loved the pasta. In all a great experience for all of us. Highly recommended
Very very good will definitely be going again with some of our friends
Lovely people , great service , food - ok. Puddings wonderful but lasagne lacked taste & roast beef a little tough. Disappointed but first visit. Would go again & give it another chance!
Great food and service as usual on a very busy day!
Excellent food and service I look forward to going back again.
