Swan Inn in Shropshire

Booked an overnight stay for the 27th june for 2 nights to celebrate my anniversary. First of all, we was sent an email with a key code to enter the premises, no greeting or anything to make you feel welcome at all. The corridor was eerie, making you feel uncomfortable almost as if the place was haunted. The room was dark and drab , FILTHY , bed sheets looked like they’d never been washed, floor had bits all over it, the light in the bathroom was flickering, the bathroom was tiny you could barely fit two people in there. My boyfriend then called the property to speak to someone , nobody answered the phone. He then searched the property for the lovely outside area that is advertised on the photos, seemed to not exist. He then located the landlady who was extremely rude , obnoxious, had a vile attitude , didn’t seem to care what we had to say and said a refund was not on the cards. We was at the property for all of 15 mins then left. Would not be staying at this property ever again. Vile place.

I have satayed in many many B&B's and found them all to be very good in general. However, I feel people should be aware that these pictures and the description are not representative to how this place is now. It's owners have changed in recent years and it lacks maintenance with unpleasant odours in various places, poor shower, it is unclean and has poor decor. We had no access to the bar and terrace as the restaurant was closed. Sorry but although this place has potential of being great, currently it is NOT fit for purpose. If only we could have got good feedback before we booked, I am not the type of person who makes complaint but felt people should be made aware of how poor this place is.

Me & my wife & friends or ours went here New Year’s Eve & New Year’s Day for something to eat,the whole experience was fantastic,very clean & great atmosphere,the menu has lots of choice,very reasonably priced,excellent quality & freshly made.the price of the drinks are has well priced well,the staff are all welcoming too & the girl who is I assume was the manager was also very sociable too,highly recommend this place to anyone,we will be definitely be paying a visit here again

Adhoc visit while paying a visit to beautiful bewdly... friendly and sociable staff good variety of alcoholic drinks and good atmosphere. Were where not overly hungry so we chose 2 platters one being fish and one being meat... these two platters happly fed four of us with possibly enough spare for 2 more... excellent food and a pretty speedy delivery to table with a lovely smile. Manager informed me they had only been going in current format for a few months...so well done for the service we witnessed. Realy hope you can continue to thrive. Will certainly be looking to return on our next visit to this little gem. Thanks all for todays service and hospitality.

Absolutely amazing service from the waitresses Jade and Lizzie. Literally top notch. Served promptly and attentively. Both girls an absolute credit to the place. Food was very good too. Nice place. Nice setting. Pleased they were able to accommodate us on a Saturday afternoon without a booking. Mussels ever so slightly undercooked but they were flavoursome and not at all rubbery. Kids liked their cod goujons, boyfriend enjoyed his fish n chips. Would revisit. Would recommend.

We were disappointed that no food was being served apart from our Breakfast on the morning we checked out. The bar was also closed. We had booked our room based on the photos showing the bar, beer garden and views but couldn't actually use those facilities as we were told on arrival the bar and food service is only Saturday and Sunday. We understand circumstances are difficult at the moment due to COVID but you should update your website with current facilities available. We had planned to eat in the restaurant but had to go elsewhere. We ate at the other place we had considered staying and wished we had booked there instead. The bed was comfortable and quirky decor which I liked but you should lower your price to reflect the current reduced available facilities mon to fri.

Another tasty meal at The Swan, all covid precautions followed, much appreciated. Our party had the turkey, pork and beef, all beautifully cooked and with freshest vegetables and cauliflower cheese. Puddings are as good as ever, I had the meringue nest, delicious, my friends had the cheesecake which was all eaten with gusto. Service was excellent as usual. Will return.

Food and drink over priced. Very gd service though. Beer tasted musky. Had to send back. Pretty tasteless o we priced food from the bbq. Won’t go back.

My Wife and I regularly eat at the Swan for a reason. The service is always very good, the staff are friendly and the food is well cooked and tasty. Just very good value for money .

Met up today with friends for lunch at the Swan. Excellent Covid precautions on entering, paté to start, very nice, roast beef was delicious, vegetables fresh and nice to see cauliflower cheese. Cheesecake for pudding and coffee to finish off, we'll be back soon.

Visited with family to celebrate a birthday. All staff were friendly and helpful, food was great and the lay out of the pub with a number of small areas set apart was just right for social distancing while still feeling ‘normal’.

Came here today for a Sunday roast with family and could not fault it. The Sunday dinner was lovely! The beef and roastys were gorgeous. We all had a dessert which were equally as nice. Staff were great and very attentive. Will definitely come back again soon.

Stayed for one night and wouldn’t be returning any time soon. No hot water when we arrived, dim lighting everywhere ( couldn’t even see to put the key in the door, even mid sunny day). Breakfast in the morning: glasses, cups, saucers, cutlery all had dirty marks. No apology when mentioned to staff member. Hair found in partners food. Not worth the money.

This is a brilliant place to stay, the food and service is outstanding. The rooms are great, the location is stunning. Highly recommend! Caught a monster barbel on the river and spent another day canoeing, had a great time.

Nice pub and meal was ok. Shame the black pudding with the pork main course was over cooked and tasted like perfume for want of a better description. Toast with pate was cold with starter. Hope the owners take note of my constructive critisism.

We enjoyed 3 visits to this pub a Sunday lunch which was excellent and 2 further meals a decent steak and a fish dish was very pleasant.

Had a meal with family last night and we all were very pleased with the standard of the food. Highley recommend.

Been to the swan inn a good few times and the one thing that has always been consistent is the great and friendly customer service we receive from the waiter/bar man Jack, he’s a credit to this establishment and doesn’t just serve and take orders, he’s become more of a friend who we look forward to seeing and catching up with on our evenings out, this reflects in our 5star rating

We stayed at the Swan Inn at short notice as we were visiting the area, having been out in the rain for most of the day we were looking forward to our arrival and sitting by the fire to warm up, this was not the case as soon as we walked in we both said how cold and uninviting our greeting was with the proprietor until she handed us over to Jack who was an absolute star. Jack showed us to our room which was absolutely freezing, the shower room in totally inadequate with a tiny hand basin and the toilet seat was loose and glaze missing off both the seat and inside the pan wasn’t very inviting oh and again no heat in there at all, it was like a fridge, we decided not to shower as the cubicle looked extremely grubby and due to the coldness of the room, the suede sleigh bed was very dusty and needed a good hoover as were the bedside lights, all the furniture felt tacky and in need of a good clean. We had dinner which I have to say was very acceptable and again Jack was attentive and obliging asking us if we needed anything. Breakfast wasn’t the best a dresser filled with all manner of children’s cereal which I do not eat, and a selection of yogurt but no fruit. We were asked if we wanted tea or coffee, and literally that was it one cup of coffee, no one about to ask for another, more to the point no offer for a further cup. Zero hospitality in this place very dull and extremely cold and very expensive due to lack of basic facilities. Think you both need to brush up on hospitality skills, clearly not a nice place to have a drink in for locals as Saturday evening was dead, please don’t use the excuse that it was due to bonfire displays etc.I don’t normally get personal, but there is something very strange about the whole place, as we left the breakfast room we were totally ignored, if it wasn’t for Jacks personality god help them.

We have been for food a few times and have always enjoyed the Sunday lunches, We received our meals and no one came to ask us how our food was so we did not get the chance to tell them that the meat was just full of fat. We waited ages for someone to clear our food away but no one came.. so we decided to go to the bar to pay for the food, the waiter asked how our food was and we explained that it was not the best at all. We dint get an apology or anything, was quite bad really as we bought our friend for lunch to show them how amazing the Sunday dinner was.

Really friendly service. Welcomed the dog with a drink (of water) and a biscuit. Lovely food for us. Music at a comfortable level and not too niche. Plenty of parking.

Visited 13 th October 2019 (party of 7 inc baby) food was great and the service was impeccable.Particularly the care and attention given by the waiter Jack. I’ve worked in the service industry for the past 32 years and he's differently an asset to your establishment.We will be back! Enjoy the tip Jack.Regards Steven Wright

My wife and I booked up in March for a 2 night stay, reviews were good, so we booked. We arrived on 25th August to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had only been there less than 30 minutes, when I had a fall in the road, and injured both my hands. We ended up sitting in the bar for a couple of hours, after explaining what had happened. Only a young bar man showed any concern for me. We had a drink, then went up to our room, where I was felling a lot of pain. We had a meal booked for 7 pm, and came down around 6.45. I asked if there was any where I could have my hands checked, but no one knew if any where was open, being bank holiday Sunday. We were shown to a table, 50 minutes later we were asked if we were ready to order, another 40 minutes and food was brought. We had turkey roast, looking around at different plates most had large yorkshire puddings on, ours included. Made it look like a big meal, but I thought what we had was over priced. After eating, we went back to our room. My injuries were getting worse, so at 8 am next day we explained that we were going to hospital, and could I settle my bill. No one asked how I was, and I was made to pay for the 2 nights, which under my circumstances, I thought they may have waved the second night we didn't stay. My injuries ended up being a broken left wrist, and a broken right thumb.. We will not be returning.

OMG what has happened!!!!!!!Could not believe the change in this place. We arrived early sat outside for a pre dinner drink. We sat we wondered and we waited!!! And waited!!!! the was obviously a problem, but not nobody came to explain what was going on the was some unsettled customers all wondering what’s going on.....the two people in charge seemed to disappear(but the young lad was rushing around trying to keep calm) I’m a tad confused the guy with the long hair behind the counter who is a scruffy doesn’t seem to have a customer service or manner. Lesson to be learned don’t blame others because things are going wrong! Communication with your Customer is most important people will be less forth coming in complaining. I tried not to be too critical as I work in hospitality but I found this very rude of the guy behind the bar with the long hair!! yes we get sicknesses but come on help out where is needed.......My only conclusion would be that either you don’t have an idea how a kitchen works, front of house are the ones taking the bookings, spread them out we all know that if things are being cooked fresh and cooked to order they take longer, staff accordingly it’s bank holiday weekend.... you really do need to get grips with this or you are wasting your time.... The was no offer of money off the drinks that is what it is and that’s it!!! Oh no sorry I’ll blame the chef so easy to do....A very unhappy customer. To top this off we found out some friends came a week earlier and had to wait 2 hours for food. Such a shame

We have been eating and recommending this establishment for a few years normally favouring Table 9 in the tastefully decorated Bar area. Yesterday (July 21st) us and a group of friends had booked a table for Sunday lunch. After bragging to our friends how good the food was going to be, alarm bells started to ring! Firstly the Menu clip board had been replaced with a tacky piece of paper and there was a rather scruffy man with long hair behind the bar. Knowing the high standard always adhered to by the staff this wasn't ringing true. We then realised he was the new owner and the Chef was no longer there. We ordered our food but had a sinking feeling in our stomach. When the food eventually reached us after a ridiculously long wait it was inedible! The vegetables were bland and just plonked in a dish, the beef extremely tough and the gravy appeared to have been made in the microwave as I believe alot of the food was too. There were loads of people complaining around us. I felt very sorry for the young Staff, Tom the Waiter and who has been at The Swan for a long time, was as professional as ever and couldn't apologise enough. I can not believe how a place like the Swan with it's excellent first class reputation could be reduced to the worst place I have ever eaten!! The new Owner should have had his hair tied up if he was going to be serving food to a table. As it is out of town, places like the Swan have to have a good reputation for excellent food otherwise they will not succeed. The food was not worth half of what they are now charging. It is such a shame and I for one will not be returning. I do however commend the young Staff there and we will miss seeing them. My priority now is to try and track down where the old Chef has moved on to. His Sunday lunches were the best in the County! I have awarded one star for the Service on here, that does no reflect on the young staff it was for having to wait over an hour for our lunch!

Well I can’t believe we have past this place many times! It’s a little hidden gem. The interior is beautiful. This was our first time and won’t be the last I can tell you, 3 of us has Sunday well what can one say they are huge I couldn’t eat all mine much to my disgust and 1 had the vegan option and it was beautiful. The staff are attentive too very happy in the work. See you guys soon.

I can't tell you how many times we have visited this wonderful place. The food is consistently fantastic. Not sure whether the bad review I have just seen on here is not a mistake and they have reviewed the wrong pub?.. The Chef has not changed and the standard he turns out week after week is a credit to him. I am vegetarian and have been in the week as well as for regular Sunday lunch and there has been plenty to chose from and very delicious too and very good value for money. The Staff are consistently friendly and attentive and the decor is very tasteful and appealing. We always recommend The Swan if asked where the best Sunday lunch can be found.Oh and the Yorkshire pud is to die for lol...lift it up and there is tons of tasty food underneath. Yes we are big fans and yes we will be back very soon!!

Not sure if there is a change of management or chef but it just was not the same. My friend and I often meet here on sunny days as it has a nice beer garden and good food, but after our recent visit neither of us will return. As 2 veggies there was usually some good options but last night the only real good option for us was a mushroom and goats cheese burger (or pasta, but who wants to pay £12 for a pasta); you can just tell that the chef does not care to create a good veggie option if that's the choice. The burger was like eating soggy mush, the mushroom had completely drenched the bun and gave a horrible taste to the goats cheese. My friend also asked for fries instead of chips and was quickly told no, even though they feature on the menu "they only have a select amount of portions just to go with the steak". It just felt off, not good vibes anymore.

We came here for our Easter Dinner today and it was without a doubt one of the best roasts I’ve ever had. Everything was proper home cooked food, nothing frozen right down to the amazing Yorkshire puddings which were huge! The service was brilliant, everything came out really fast but still piping hot. Definitely not our last visit.

This is our first time staying and eating here, it’s a great little find with fantastic service and food, we were made to feel very welcome from the outset.

16 of us had dinner on a Sunday evening. With that many you can’t expect a particularly swift service and that proved to be the case. Those of us who had the various roast dinners were very impressed, those who had the nut roast or the Camembert were not. Starters and puddings were fine. So if you go the roast beef etc then I would recommend this restaurant.

We were part of a group of ramblers who stopped here for lunch having pre-ordered our meals. Everyboy's meals looked good, and we were served promptly - a very good effort given that there were about 25 of us. My penne pasta with chicken was very tasty. However my wife's risotto came in such a small portion that she had to resort to cadging food off me and other members of our party.

Our friends took us here on a recommendation and we were very impressed. The service was fantastic and very attentive and the could not find a single fault with the food. We shall certainly be returning!

We went to the Swan for our belated Christmas dinner and we all were not disappointed the staff were very pleasant and helpful and guided us to our table after we had ordered our drinks we then had our dinner I was a bit dubious as I was the one who picked this establishment and I am so glad to say all our plates were left clean so that could not of been any better compliment full marks and we have now booked for next year

First impressions was that the downstairs area of pub was pleasant and welcoming. However experience was a bit disappointing from there onwards...When we booked we had asked if we could check in early as we were driving up for a wedding and needed somewhere to change beforehand. When we arrived we were told that none of the 3 rooms we’d booked were ready so would have to change and get ready for the wedding in the smelly toilets. Really disappointing considering there were 5 of us, toilets were smelly and small and we had requested early check in way in advance. When we went into the loos to change, we realised they were smelly, small and dirty so I went back to the bar and asked if we could at least change in one of the guest rooms even if the cleaners hadn’t been. This was better than the cramped toilets but far from ideal as we would still have to put all bags and suitcases back in the car.

We could not fault the food! But our room was very disappointing from cobwebs on the ceiling & chandeler to the toilet not flushing and draft coming in from the window. The shower cubicle was very grubby and the bed was collapsed on one side. Would we stay here again... No we wouldn’t.

Very nice old pub, staff really nice and helpful, stayed one night in bedroom overlooking the front with 4 poster bed and large bathroom with walk in shower, all very spacious. Had delicious evening meal and breakfast all cooked to order. Would definitely stay again.

We visited whilst on holiday in the area together with my husbands Guide dog. Despite prior mention that we would be bringing the dog we were initially told we could not use the restaurant area but were directed to a dark bar area.After protest the young man went to check with mangement and were told that we could use the the light and airy restuarant.Not a good start! After waiting a fair while I had to go and search for the only staff member to place our food order. There was then a prolonged wait until it arrived. We had both ordered steak ,although with different sauces, one medium rare and the other well done. Only after sauces had been poured did we realise that we had been served wrong steaks.This aside the food was very good but the whole experience was spoiled by the lack of service.

Stayed here a few times ..on our recent visit we were blown away by the refurbishment ... Cant fault the hospitality ... food ... and to top it off a great nights sleep ... We enjoyed our Sunday lunch [value for money] all cooked to perfection and to order .. the service was great and of a very high standard the staff are always very friendly and inviting ..Were retired now so we have the freedom to come here when ever we want .. The location is fantastic such pretty views .. we tried a few places in town to eat but we don't like carvery so the Swan Inn is perfect in every way ..... You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay here ..give it a go .... Oh nearly forgot .....no parking problems.

We stayed here for one night, great on first inspection. Bar and restaurant are very pleasant and the drinks are well priced, although the atmosphere was soured somewhat by the christening party effing and blinding!!! The food is over priced and ordinary £11.75 for a carvery. The cheeseboard however, is spectacular. Our bedroom seemed ok till we went to bed. The mattress was past its best, uncomfortable and totally unsupportive and the metal bed frame created a cacophony of noise. Perhaps tightening the frame may do the trick, otherwise consign it to the scrapyard. The bathroom needs a good bleaching around the sealant and grouted areas, the attached photos will demonstrate exactly why. It is not acceptable in accommodation that is charging £75 per night. Overall, the swan has the potential to be a fantastic place to stay but, at the moment it needs a lot more attention to detail

returned here for a 2night stay with my partner and some friends. Once again had a lovely stay. The owners do a great job running this place they really have thought of everything. When sat in the bar Area looking around you cannot help but admire the little touches it really is a lovely gem of a place hence why we keep coming back!

We have visited The Swan several times over the last year. The outside needs a little sprucing up but the inside is very welcoming and cosy. The Sunday roast is good but spoilt by the roast potatoes which taste like they were cooked hours ago and kept warm and the cauliflower cheese needs a lot more cheese. The deserts do vary from delicious to not so good. The main thing that lets this place down is the staff or lack of. We have waited so long for food to arrive that some meals have been finished before some have reached our table. Long wait for table to be cleared and for desert menu to arrive then another long wait for deserts to be ordered. It's not just us, the group on the table behind us were so fed up of waiting that they up and left. The staff are mostly young and seem to hang around the bar area instead of attending tables. I think a lesson in customer service is long overdue. Will we visit again?????

A delightful quaint country pub with a wonderful ambience, great food and a friendly welcome. Cosy, intimate bar and tables outside as well. A lovely, well-appointed and reasonably priced restaurant where we had an excellent roast dinner. Great for a romantic evening!

we have been going here for many years, We have stopped many times and it is a truly a fabulous place to stay and eat and drink. , not only we go but I have recommended many people who have stopped here and eaten. Liam and his team are great and friendly staff, they go out there way to speak , and answer any questions . SUNDAY LUCH a must, great surroundings. . KEEP up the good work, you are the best in bridgnorth . , see you all soon gay and ray and charlotte and brad.

I stayed here for one night in July(during the heat wave!)The reception was good,a cheerful girl showed me to my room.Unfortunately it was at ground level,and as I was going into Bridgnorth for dinner,I had to close my windows,can you imagine what it was like when I returned.....an oven!

We made a last minute booking for Sunday lunch on a very busy weekend in Bridgnorth. We were accommodated even though the pub was very busy. At all times we were treated politely and efficiently. The Sunday roast was absolutely lovely, plenty of everything beautifully cooked and presented. Nothing was too much trouble. The Swan is the polar opposite of The George in Bridgnorth who just sneer and make condescending comments when making last minute enquiries, they should take note and learn from The Swan. Well done everyone at The Swan.!!

Been here a couple of times and it's always so good here. The atmosphere and the lay out is excellent. My partner said he'd had one of the best steaks he'd ever had here. It was huge. I didn't find the menu had a lot of choice for me personally, and was a bit puzzled as to how a lamb dish could be cheaper than a pasta dish with some chicken added but never mind. I will say that the glasses of wine here are very expensive.

This venue accommodated us at last minute (3days before) for my sons naming day. The staff were non intrusive and the food was of a great quality along with the staff providing the service. The function room and private terrace was perfect for our party. The Inn itself has beautiful decor and plenty of outside space.

High above the river I was recommended to visit this place by a local, glad they did because it would not be easy to find by accident. We were warmly welcomed by the young staff. Lots of unique areas to eat, bright conservatory overlooking the valley or more private beamed rooms. The menu is the usual thing for a Sunday lunch but the quality of the meat, vegetables and sauces were exemplary, this coupled with a great atmosphere and wonderful presentation makes this place a must visit when you are nearby

Great find.. Food is amazing and is in an ideal location.. Nice and friendly staff. If I could give it more then 5 stars then I would. Highly recommend this place :)

Five of us visited this hotel for our regular Friday lunch after reading the rave reviews but were very disappointed. The starters were the first let down, consisting of bland, tasteless soup and flavourless smoked salmon. However, we looked forward to our mains which sadly were just as bad. Four tough, chewy steaks and a dry salmon main later and then on to stale desserts. We complained to the waitress as the owner who we initially spoke to had disappeared, but all we got was an apology and a bill for £50 a head! Needless to say, we will not be returning or recommending this restaurant.

Fantastic, have visited two weeks in a row and will definitely be back asap Great food, service and atmosphere

We have recently bought a tea room and haven’t had a day off for 6 months, we decided to have a break a choose the area because it’s not far and we like the shops, we choose the Swann because it looked like our style! There isn’t much to choose from in the area. We arrived and we were made to feel really welcome and had a drink the bar was really well stocked, the tables were full and the food looked amazing. We were shown to our room and pleasantly surprised it was lovely with amazing views we went into town and came back to have dinner the food we really good, fresh and really well cooked the staff were more than accommodating and the manager charming. Made us feel really welcome. Had an amazing nights sleep is really comfortable bed beautiful linen and pillows! Had a full cooked breakfast and yet again beautifully cooked and fresh the service again great, couldn’t recommend enough thanks to the team for a great one night relax !

Looked good after reading other reviews so decided to meet friends there to eat. It was rainy night & the place WS virtually empty. A warm welcome from staff with efficient service. Food good but nothing special. Environment was cosy, warm & clean. Unable to see any of the views as it was dark. Reserve judgement on the Swan Inn & intend to return in the near future.

Having visited Stuttgart for the R&T; Trade Show my return flight was delayed due to snow here in England. As a result I was forced to cancel my booking at short notice. When I rang to cancel, although I explained that I was still in Stuttgart I was told on no count could my booking be cancelled and the charge would still be applied.

Driving for a very short time (5-10 Min.)from centre of Bridgnorth the Swan in with its wonderful glass enclosed terrace cannot be missed. The car park at the rear is on a slope. The welcome from Abby (Assistant Manager) was charming and the whole restaurant was stylishly decorated and v. comfortably furnished. We were soon seated with drinks and menus to enjoy. The menu (lunchtime) include light bites & sandwiches and the main courses showed a good variety, including steaks, fish, pasta and burgers, and on enquiry a Children's menu was available (for when we return with our grandchildren). We chose bread with olives, oil and balsamic glaze to start - delicious in all elements. For main course I had the 10 oz rump steak cooked,which it was as apposed to the often scorched outside but cold in the middle; the seasoning was so well done and delicate that I didn't use the french mustard that I had asked for.

We went here for a sunday dinner, the chef was also able to cater for coeliacs. I was very impressed by the chefs knowledge of food and they provided gluten free gravy. This is always a good thing as it shows that they cook their food from scratch not like some places where are not able to tell you what is in their food as it has just come out the freezer. I certainly would return as the Sunday lunches are fab and my husband had roast beef with an enormous yorkshire pudding on the top and amazing roasted vegetables. Staff were very friendly and the place had fantastic ambience- we will return!

Went there tonight food was really good food and drink well done to the chef really welcoming staff and very friendly will be returning very soon

We have visited The Swan several times over the past five years, usually as part of a group of five or six, and the experience can be a little variable. The building is very nicely presented on the inside, though often a bit on the cool side if the weather is very cold outside. There are several different seating areas that are very comfortable and very nicely laid out, with plenty of space for dining tables in the main Pub rooms, and more in the spacious and attractive conservatory dining area. The food is always good, and sometimes very good, which is what I mean by a little variable. But even with all these good points there are still a couple of things that would make this a really great Dining-Pub. The main peeve is the really very disappointing selection of beers available at the bar. This is such a missed opportunity as Shropshire is renowned for it's excellent local breweries, with a wealth to choose from. I know many people who would be keen to visit, and eat at The Swan if there were a selection, or any, good ales on draught. People who want to be in nice surroundings, and eat good food, also want good beer, it really does go together, and would definitely enhance the experience. It would also be beneficial if there was an extra member of staff on duty, on each of our last three visits we have had to wait at an empty bar for someone to come out and serve us, or take our payment, because they were also serving the food, or working in the kitchens. I know these are only little niggles, but addressing them would make a big difference, and would make The Swan a really great place to visit.

We'd arranged to meet here for Sunday lunch with friends - on our recommendation - after previously calling in for a drink whilst passing & being wowed by the decor.

This was the first time we have visited the Swan, it was just brilliant right from walking through the door all the staff made us feel very welcome and it was just a great atmosphere, the service was brilliant and the food was delicious and of a very high standard. As this was Christmas day there were some additional treats which included a cheese board and some biscuits/ brownies....fantastic and we will be returning very soon.

A reliable venue where the staff are always attentive, the atmosphere is warm and friendly and the food of a consistently high standard. Not a huge choice on the menu which I prefer but I've never had a bad meal here and after your food you can chill in the glow of the open fire.

4 kids 3 adults; good menu; child menu good value and excellent food; I have rare sirloin as did my bro; absolutely excellent, cooked and the piece of steak is one of the better experiences I have had in UK this year. Burger was lovely (not mine and Haddock , and risotto were also excellent. The pub is warm friendly; very good beer (Swan ale was great. Staff friendly. IT would be hard to say what could be done to make a better experience; really impressed; and believe me I go to a lot of pubs but this deserved me reviewing! would return; and would fully recommend; Thanks owners and staff - keep up the good work

The food, ambience and service at the Swan is always excellent. From time to time we try somewhere else for Sunday dinner but other places just don't compare. Liam, Abi and the rest of the waiting on/ bar staff are always pleasant, competent and efficient. The food is home cooked by Justin and the standard and consistency of the food is a credit to him and the kitchen team. It's a lovely venue for family get togethers and larger parties too. A must visit if you are local or in holiday in this beautiful area of Shropshire.

We were seated very quickly by the efficient staff...ordered from the set 3 course menu and weren't disappointed. Food quality, portion size and speed of service all were just excellent. Would highly recommend this pub 🤗🤗🖒

We found this place by chance in September and have been twice more since.

Visited Swan for meal Saturday night,really lovely comfortable pub setting, restaurant is in the conservatory, staff were lovely and helpful.

Very welcoming atmosphere. Food is amazing with very well kept rooms. Staff very tentative with great service. Offered to be shown to room by the lovely Gemma, wasn't offered this in some top London hotels. Highly recommended

We held our wedding reception here in July. The Swan, Liam and ALL other staff helped give us the most perfect day! From the food to the reception room to the stunning views to the lovely helpful and attentive staff we could not have wished for a lovelier place to spend our wedding day. People are still talking now about how the evening buffet was the best they had ever had anywhere. Thank you is not enough for how grateful we are for the most amazing day which you helped us have ♡ Joanna & Ben ☆

arrived on sunday after playing golf got a taxi to the swan to enjoy a superb meal all four in the party were delighted with the service and of course the food

This was a random find and I will 100% be coming back here. The service was so attentive and food was delivered quickly.

We decided at the last minute we would book a few days away and decided on the swan inn!

It's rare that I get a couple of hours leisure time. From my seat here at the Swan Inn, Knowlesands, very near to Bridgnorth, this is a new "something" that I've been witness to.

Stayed B&B; at The Swan to make the most of a day off the following day.Arrived at 7:30 in the evening having travelled 100 miles or so and immediately booked a table in the restaurant as we were hungry by then.The menu had a 3 course offer for £19:95 and seemed very attractive.We selected from the offer menu and ordered a bottle of Rioja and a Pimm's.

Second lunchtime visit on a Monday afternoon to this lovely pub. It has a fantastic terrace overlooking the beautiful Shropshire countryside.

I stayed here for one night with my husband, step-daughter and family and had a double room and the family room. The location is great - in open countryside just a mile outside Bridgnorth and the Severn Valley Railway.

Returned here after a fantastic first visit in August 2016 whilst I was 6months pregnant. We loved it so much the first time so we promised ourselves we would return with our little one once he was here

We stayed for the weekend in a family room and we were totally bowled over, amazing sleigh bed for us and a well thought out day bed for our child, the finishing touches to the room we're great, hot water bottles and a fab selection of DVDs for all ages and the bedding was luxurious....

Visited this evening and as good as ever! Service is impeccable the food delicious and well presented and the price very reasonable! The most consistent place to eat in Bridgnorth imo!!

We booked a last minute break over May day weekend after the weather for camping looked poor. As we drove up, the kerb appeal initially made us think we'd made a mistake .. but the bedroom was fantastic!! It was well thought out, with a four poster bed and walk in shower. Both evenings we found a tasty homemade treat under a closh, which was an inspired concept! Breakfast was in the newly built conservatory, full English, coffee, toast, juice, cereals, yogurts. During breakfast we noticed they did sunday lunch and luckily they had space for us and the family who were staying nearby. The roast was absolutely delicious! Some of our party chose to visit the following day for lunch (Monday), they enjoyed the food that much! It was lovely to chat to the owner over breakfast to hear how they had grown the business and slowly improved the fit out over the time they had owned it. They really have done a fantastic job.

Booked in 9/10th April, lovely atmosphere, room was very nice, comfortable beds, ensuite extremely small it needs rethinking. Meals in restaurant absolutely superb, wonderful fresh ingredients superbly cooked, very attentive staff. Would definitely return but book a room with a bigger ensuite.

We booked for a meal at The Swan, having not visited in recent years, but hearing such good things about it. The menu provided us with a great choice, offering several different options to suit everyone's taste, the service was excellent and the food arrived at the table very promptly. The portion sizes were great, and the food was of excellent quality. We were seated in the recently refurbished conservatory with spectacular views over the River Severn, the decor was also contemporary and the warm lighting and music all created a welcoming atmosphere. We couldn't fault the evening and shall definitely be returning soon.

stayed here for steam train weekend lovely place good night sleep and good food not to far from the town nice place for evening meal

Nine of us met for dinner to celebrate two birthdays and had a very nice stay. My steak was particularly tasty and cooked perfectly, starters and puddings nicely presented. My room was well appointed and comfortable. No amenities in the bathroom a slight downside. Disappointed that we could not get after dinner drinks past 11pm despite all nine of us staying over. Breakfast was all you could ask for in a robust full English - nicely presented. Staff were very pleasant.

They have just had the restaurant refurbished, it is outstanding, now very warn and comfortable,modern. Great service from all of the staff, very pleasant and professional. Great choice on the menus. Mackerel pate to start was very,very nice, followed by pork belly for the main, couldn't fit a dessert was full to the brim. Would recommend this lovely pub/restaurant to anyone.......

We booked this very last minute as we were visiting relatives nearby and wanted to break the journey. From booking in to leaving we found all the staff to be friendly and helpful. The room was a good size with an en-suite shower room. The room would benefit from redecorating and the shower room updating but everything was there and worked.

Eaten at the Swan a number of times it consistently delivers fantastic food without breaking the bank; a great atmosphere and friendly welcoming service. Would highly recommend.

We stayed here for one night whilst visiting Bridgnorth.

Booked two nights to stop here last minute . We were very happy with our stay, staff were very welcoming and friendly. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the bathroom needs updating though . The breakfast was lovely and would definitely stop here again .

I stayed here for three nights whilst on a course. It is reasonable clean but not great. The carpets upstairs in the corridors were particularly bad. Bedding was spotless, but my room was painted grey and was very dark and was not very comfortable. Just a room to sleep in, not relax.One of the staff members did say they will shortly be upgrading. We had one evening meal on the first night which was adequate but went out for the remaining nights. Breakfast again was adequate. I would not stay here again. There was a steep staircase to get to the bedrooms,although there is a backdoor for residents but the car park was very steep so not good for anyone who is not steady on their feet. The staff were very nice and helpful.

It's been a few months since we've eaten here due to other engagements and I must say.

The Swan has great atmosphere the food was excellent and the staff were outstanding.

Excellent location for angling, clean, modern feel to the building, Food was EXCELLENT, Huge range of bottled beers, staff and service were 2nd to none they couldn't do enough for us, Hopefully we will be back to see you again next year. Thanks Andrew & Barry

My family booked a table for 10 on a Saturday night, If I'm honest I didn't fancy it and thought there must be better places to eat.... I could not of been more wrong.

We called in on a Saturday evening and found the staff were really accommodating in finding us a table in the bar area. There was a good variety of food on the menu and our meal was well presented and delicious! All the staff were pleasant and professional.

Came here a few weeks back and the food was lovely but what really made the visit special was how wonderful and pleasant the young pretty girl was that served us!! I think her name was Lydia, she was a fabulous waitress!!

We have eaten here many times, perhaps 50 times. Invariably at lunchtime during the week (Monday to Friday) when they offer 2 for 1 main meals. The quality of food is excellent. As they are 3 or 4 miles outside Bridgnorth they are never busy at lunchtime. Inside it is split between a restaurant and bar area. Outside there is a nice patio.The bar area is full of nooks and crannies with numerous tables which you can also eat at. The bar area and its tables are dog friendly.

Went for a Sunday evening dinner with hubby wow from the minute I rang to book a table to finish staff were extremely polite and helpful but not In your face , we both had the goats cheese for our starters with steak for mains absolutely beautiful and steak was cooked to perfection for sweets I had crumble and my husband had chocolate brownie and mine was on of the best crumbles I have eaten my husband said the brownie was out of this world but it could do with being a little larger. All the food was presented in a beautiful quirky way we last visited 3years ago but after last nights visit it won't be long before I go again . I would highly recommend a visit to the swan for a perfect relaxed meal .

Deciding on Easter Sunday where to go for lunch, we again visited the Swan, wonderful Sunday lunch, great value for money and faultless. We both have visited many times it's the best Sunday lunch around. Superb from start to finish. Thanks once again for squeezing us in on such a busy day.. Happy Easter to you all.

We had a Sunday lunch here with some friends. The staff were pleasant and helpful, the meal was good, well cooked and plentiful.
