It's definitely an eating pub as opposed to a drinking pub Fully booked back to back on Sunday, it was very busy and noisy. Staff did their best and were kind and courteous. Most of the food was decent, my fish and chips was fine. The starter platter is very poor value for money. Roast dinners looked nice enough. Good, solid family fayre. I'd probably choose somewhere a bit less noisy next time though

We were thoroughly impressed with this local find. Unfortunately on a main road the venue does a fantastic menu of drinks and generous portions of food. We shared starters and loved the different dishes, although some came with four pieces others 3 which is always odd for sharing. Mains were at first glance expensive but worth the money as they are substantial. If you're not one with a big appetite perhaps skip starters. The real advantage was the service team. All so helpful and cheery. Thank you Aimee and your colleagues for making our evening so pleasant.

First time here for Birthday celebration. Food very mediocre. Had Chefs fish pie - hardly any fish, prawns still had part shells on them, peas were hard & cold & why serve a slice of bread with this dish???? The steaks were very poor tasteless & the salad consisted of mainly rocket & watercress. Been to other Chef & Brewer's before & never been disappointed.

JoJo was attentive and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble - thankyou. Warm welcome with friendly staff. Great gluten free choices on the menu and easily accessible allergy information on the online menu. Dog friendly too with treats, blankets and water on offer for our cockapoo.

We had the most delicious roast dinner and desserts, we'd go as far to say it felt as though it had been prepared with care and love. The service was impeccable and coffee hit the spot (rare for a pub) well worth a visit. Sarah who served us was truly lovely. Our per person price is based on food and several drinks. The food is well priced, as others have said drinks are on the higher end, but not unexpected for a decent pub.

Lovely staff but because there were few staff on the service was a bit slow. We weren't in a rush so it was fine. Good food, overpriced drinks - £8.40 for two diet cokes. Good choice of food on the kids menu though and the kids meal had brilliant presentation and was a good size portion. I would come back!

We were in the area today and just called in on the off chance of having Sunday lunch, fully expecting that we may not get in as we had not booked. Fortunately as the weather was fine we were able to sit in the beautiful garden. Service was great as was the food. I can honestly say that this was the best pub roast I have had in a very long time! Beef was well cooked and the vegetables were fresh and perfectly cooked. Would definitely recommend!

I tried pre-booking a table online. If I were a party of two, it would provide me with a timeslot, but since I was going solo, it would ask me to look at an alternative date. So I ignored the online booking and popped down. I found the car park easily, but when I arrived around 7:45 pm, it was apparent it was busy inside. There were no markings, so people would park in some weird and wonderful spaces. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They offered me an eight-seater table, which I declined and asked if it was ok to eat outside. I felt bad taking a large table all to myself. The menu selection was great; I really liked the two or 3-course menu options. Ordering food was straightforward, and the person taking my order behind the bar was friendly. The only thing I might have liked to see was someone coming out to me to take my order, as I was very paranoid that someone would take my table whilst I was away placing my order. The food arrived pretty quickly, and it was tasty. This place is on my list to visit again in the future.

While The Hatch may be part of a wider chain (Chef & Brewer) it has a number of positive factors. It might lack the individual character of an independent, but it's in a good, out of town location, still easy to access; service is friendly and prompt, and the menu is a good range of standard English pub fare at a reasonable price. A good meeting place.

Steak pie....the gravy tasted like a cheap oxon cube gravy rather than ale, which was described. Very mushy small pieces of beef that must have stewed for a long time. The steak ale pies I have had before are lovely chunks of beef with thick tasty gravy.

Four of us went to the Hatch for Sunday lunch but unfortunately our roast lunches were not up to the standard we expected for £20, my wife, sister in law and brother in law had the roast beef which unfortunately had more fat than lean beef and my beef and pork combo consisted of two very thin slices of beef and a slice of rolled pork with stuffing, sadly unless either the price is reduced or food is improved we won't be re-visiting.

More than a bit disappointed really. Was served nearly a pint of peroni. In a peroni pint glass. Got at least 3cm of head and 85% of a pint. Asked lady to top up to a full pint. Was told.. " we are trained to fill up to the top of the red peroni shape as this is a pint". That's a lie. The peroni glass is a pint glass to the brim. I'm already paying 6.65 a pint, don't need the barmaid or pub skimming off £1 of my hard earned money and then lying to me about the glass being over sized or a fake fill line. I had two pints so £2 stolen from me tonight. Just want this to be warning to others. Ask for your PINT to be topped up. Wouldn't mind so much if it was £4 a pint, but this is top money per pint. So expecting a full pint. Am I asking to much?..... Fraud... A bit harsh, but if it was a petrol station and they served under a liter of petrol and took the cash for a full liter, the station would be closed down.

Nice pub with separate cosy looking bar and restaurant areas. Food was very good, clearly not 'ping' food and reasonably priced (for these days...) eg haddock fishcake £13.95, Sausage and Mash £12.50, Steak and Ale Pie £14.50. Desserts around £6.75 with mini dessert (small but ample) and hot drink only £5.50. Drink prices very reasonable as well Merlot 250ml £6.95, Doombar £4.70. Close to Bombay Sapphire Distillery so good place to stop for a meal after visiting.

Some food was OK, and most arrived promptly, but another guest didn't get their food until everyone had finished eating. We had to find a manager and ask about the food, and then it turned up and was practically edible and wasn't eaten. We didn't have time to try and get it removed or sent back as we had somewhere to be and didn't want to wait any longer. We paid the bill in full, tipped the waitress as we know it wasn't her fault. Wouldn't eat here again it was worse, wagamama. I have been too across the south..

We celebrated our daughter's first birthday at The Swann Inn today, and it was nothing short of incredible! The space was absolutely humongous, comfortably accommodating our entire family and more. The warm and inviting fireplace added such a cosy touch to the atmosphere, making it the perfect setting for a family gathering. The service was impeccable—dedicated staff ensured that drinks were always flowing, and their attentiveness made the entire experience seamless. The food was outstanding, with everyone raving about the quality and flavour. It’s rare to find a place where every single dish impresses, but The Swann Inn delivered in every way. We’ve already decided that this will be ‘our family pub’ moving forward. It’s heartening to see that pubs like this still exist in our area—a proper gem! Thank you guys. Ben, Francesca and little Sienna.

UPDATE - all credit to restaurant who invited us back with an updated vegetarian menu and complementary meal. The quality was radically different for the mains this time. Both dishes we had were tasty and cooked well. Starter was good as before (this time we had a sharing board). Sat next to the fire which was nice too. Updated my star ratings to reflect this experience, though kept below review for reference. ORIGINAL REVIEW - Really disappointed with our meal yesterday. The menu was limited for a vegetarian, so I went for the Bean burger - it was not home made - likely previously frozen and shop bought - a very thin dry thing. The bun was also dry. Advertised as coming with hummus in the burger but the smallest amount given. Partner’s beef burger was also dry and disappointing. Starter Camembert was good and chips done well so a surprise for both mains to be so poor. Meant we didn’t dare try the dessert offering. Very frustrating to have spent around £70 overall on 2 drinks, 1 starter and 2 disappointing mains. Won’t be returning. Shame as we tried this to branch out from our regular local spots! Atmosphere and service fine however.
