Great food, great atmosphere, great service and great price. Doesn’t get much better. If you’ve never been, you are missing out on one of the best food pubs around.

Good early evening deal for four of us. Two said meals were of good quality, one said average for the beef hotpot, a little bland and the other had a risotto which was on the dry side. Drinks quite expensive though. Overall a pleasant experience, nice ambience and a vast improvement on our previous visit before the new owners

Helpful and friendly staff. One of the main courses and one of the desserts from the early bird menu where not available. Rhubarb panacotta could have done with more rhubarb. Otherwise good food and ambiance.

Relaxed and comfortable atmosphere with tasty food, well-cooked, although there were not enough vegetables included in the meal. This meant extra had to be ordered to achieve a balanced meal.

Lovely surroundings and airy feel to the restaurant . The food was very nice , a good selection of a dishes and specials to choose from. The staff were attentive at the right level. Only draw back was the Eton mess pudding which was nice but the meringues were not homemade Planning to go back again soon.

Have been several times before and have always been impressed with food and service. This visit was not the usual exceptional experience and think we were the only table which was probably due to the football.

Excellent food and good service overall. Although very busy for a Tuesday evening and a little short staffed. Inexperienced waitress made a few blunders, but as she was new to the job we understood and didn’t want to make an issue of it. My husband, two daughters and I all ordered differently and equally enjoyed our choice of food. Will definitely go back on another occasion.

It was lovely. I appreciate that since everything is freshly cooked it took a little while for our meal to be served. Although there was plenty of room to park I chose to park to the rear. I did ask to eat at 12.30 and was offered 1.15 which was fine but unexplained.

The main course was faultless as well as the service, however the desert let the side down as the apple crumble had lumps not crumbs on top and the custard was lumpy, the sticky toffee also had a strange after taste. However, overall it was great just a shame the puddings had to end it on a low.

Very nice place cosy and welcoming the table we had was between the toilets and the serving hatch one of our guests had the pie and said the pastry was way to thick ,I had queen scallops and they were over cooked another couple of niggles so all in all a little disappointed ,but we would all go back and give it another try but wouldn't recommend to friends at the moment ,just need to up their game a bit for it to be excellent place to visit

The atmosphere is lovely, very well decorated throughout.The staff a very professional and the food is absolutely superb. Will definitely come back again. The only downside to our evening was that the smoke kept coming out of the fire, this does leave you with smoky clothes and gets to sometimes.

I have now eaten at The Wild Swan five or six times but sadly the meals served have become less good with each visit. This last visit my slow cooked lamb was very dry and almost certainly was not freshly cooked, my companion's fish was also overcooked. I asked for gluten free bread but when it arrived it was two thick dry slices - completely inedible. It is possible to buy very good gluten free bread and most restaurants I go to serve very acceptable GF bread. The waiting staff also left a lot to be desired - lacked knowledge, offhand manner. The restaurant will lose customers soon if they don't sharpen up their offering.
