Best steak ever. Will certainly be back again. Thank you.
Squashed into a table for 2 in the middle of the busy restaurant and whilst staff tried to avoid knocking the table it was impossible for other customers to pass without bumping our chairs. We were asked for feedback at the end of our meal and whilst the server acknowledged that it was a cramped table and should really have not been there, informed us that the owner likes to 'cram' the restaurant full. In the likely event that nothing would change if we added any other feedback about our meals we didn't bother telling him that my rib-eye steak was small and gristly and my wife's Seabass was overcooked. We had to ask twice for a wine list and twice for extra water.
not bad quite "cosy" seating very close together. Food presentation average
The food is always very good. An excellent evening out

Welcoming and lovely staff. Definitely worth a visit. Will definitely need more parking in the future!
loved it we sat in the bar area to the left as you walk in from outside, only slight complaint it had an open fire roaring away and it was far too hot in the room
A lovely dining experience, we all enjoyed our food and it was all very relaxed.
Great atmosphere, fantastic food and superb staff - would highly recommend
Excellent worth a visit lovely evening although service was a little quick!
We used to visit the last restaurant they own and I don’t think it was the same standard
Great food locally sourced imaginatively cooked & served beautifully. Highly recommended we will be coming back!
Excellent quality of food. Terrific range of seafood. Very friendly staff.
Welcoming staff enjoyable food and made fish pie for me without shell fish. Overall a lovely experience
Absolutely beautiful Sunday dinner! We sat out the front in the sunshine, it was perfect. The meal was to die for - we ordered roast pork and chicken dinners - followed by the best Eton mess I’ve even tasted!! The staff are super friendly too and made us feel very welcome. We’ll certainly be back!
Tuesday evening was very quiet at the Wild Swan, maybe related to the heatwave we were enjoying so no one wanted to go out to a restaurant! Very low ceiling and small windows meant that it was too hot even with the windows open. Food excellent and well presented and prepared. Sea trout was something we had not had in years, it did not disappoint. Sea base and stone bass both pronounced excellent as was the slow roast shoulder of lamb with mash, shredded veg and delicious sauce. Puds and starters up to standard, mine being scallops with black pudding. Any weaknesses? The coffee tasted stewed. Staff on the ball.
The Staff were welcoming and efficient, though a bit slow because of pressure. Seating was cramped because it was next to the route to the toilet. The menu was imaginative and the food was well cooked.
This was my second visit and everything was as perfect as last time.
Excellent food, lovely staff. Tired decor, sticky tables and old carpeted floor that would be better stone or wood.
Excellent food and service. Food was cooked to perfection and the flavours were superb. Staff were very attentive without being overbearing or pretentious.
Excellent food. Extensive menu. Would definitely go back & have spread the word to family & friends.
Went for Sunday lunch with family. Very good food and service. Recommended
Fantastic meal as always fantastic service staff very helpful lovely atmosphere
I've visited this restaurant before on Mother's day, superb service and great food. Went again last week for my Birthday. Lovely food and Ronnie is very charming. 10 points to Ryan these general manager.
Lovely ambiance Lovely food Good service Well worth the journey
Excellent service along with some delicious food. Will definitely be going again 😊
Excellent culinary expertise. Rather too much starch for my liking ie potatoes +Pastry but beautifully presented and delicious. Helpful willing and pleasant young serving staff. Lovely atmosphere. The round table a little too big for intimate dining for two and difficult to hear one’s companion speaking at my age at that distance.Overall an enjoyable evening and dinner.
Great little pub serving good quality food. Catered for our dietary requirements with no problem at all. Friendly staff with good service. Highly recommendable if you enjoy good food!
When we arrived we were shown to a corner table in the bar area not one in the restaurant where we have eaten before. It was cramped and dark as the light kept flashing. The decor was poor with paint flaking off the walls. There was no bar menu offered, which we didn’t want, but no reduction for the main menu although we were in the bar corner. The food was just OK and the waiter tried his best but no senior person came to apologise for our disappointment. Will not go there again!
Good atmosphere with great food and service.Convenient stop off the A1.
Excellent food, service, atmosphere, menu and beer, cheers to all
Went for Sunday dinner, excellent food choices. Good variety of veg and plentiful. Super service and good value for money.
Good find. Handy for A1. Knaresborough and Harrogate near enough for stroll after lunch.
Excellent service and great food. We will be back .
Celebrating our son's birthday. Lovely food with the usual great service. Visited many times before and look forward to many more.. 🥂
Enjoyed our first visit but the table was very squashed in. The tree ladies had to pull the table out to sit down. Then we had to push back so the guys were not blocking the way to the toilets on the other side. A set price lunch menu would also a extra choice.
Great food and service in a relaxed atmosphere. Our go-to restaurant now.
Food and service excellent. Lovely atmosphere. Only grumble was that the table next to us was too close. We had a gentleman’s chair knocking into us throughout the evening.
Excellent food and service - would highly recommend a visit
Fantastic food and service as always, love the summer menu, compliments to the chef xx
Excellent choice from the a la carte menu and the specials board. All delicious and very flexible on being able to order starters as main courses.
Poor service, food over priced for quality and quantity. Nothing special
