Swan Inn in South Gloucestershire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Stopped in to break up a long drive. Staff friendly and quick to take our order. Food fairly priced, came out quickly and was lovely! Definitely recommend

Went with some friends and we had a lovely evening. Very welcoming, friendly staff and our waitress, Saffy, was brilliant. She was extremely attentive all evening and was working very hard in a full restaurant. Nothing was too much for her. The food was delicious with three empty plates!

Lovely garden,pet friendly and good food Stopped there on our way home after a good day out , fast service

All our dishes were more than satisfactory including fish and chips, vegan risotto, mushroom pie and dessert. Everything at an affordable price. Free parking available.

Despite booking a table well in advance, we has to wait an hour for our meal. Sadly, not a great meal either. A very hard and over cooked pie. The fish was also over cooked, having very dry flaky bits in . No one came to ask us if the meal was ok, or if we wanted to order more drinks, or wanted a dessert. Shame, I was treating a friend and it wasn't a great experience... Sadly, after paying over £50 for this disappointing food and a couple of drinks each, I won't be eating there again!

My wife and I came for lunch on Friday the 19th of July. We had a good experience, attentive service, nicely cooked and presented food in nice surroundings. The Swan has a nice sheltered garden when the weather's nice. We will definitely be coming back.

Nine of us went out for the evening. We submitted our menu choices beforehand. We all arrived and were met by very friendly and helpful staff members. We were in a side room which was perfect so we could hear each other without other noise or interruptions. We were joined by another party later who were fine so it worked perfectly. The food was very good and we were looked after very well.I am allergic to soya which posed no problem. I have eaten there several times and what is so good is that you are given a laptop you mark the allergen on it and then the entire menu appears with the dishes you can’t eat marked. It certainly beats having to choose several dishes in order of preference and then ask the poor person serving to go and ask the chef what is suitable.Mind you it was double checked on the night which was very kind , just an indication of how good the service is. Everyone enjoyed themselves very much thank you .

No attention for the guests, ordering via unclear app, outside tables very dirty, quality and preparation of the mixed grill very poor.

Was able to stop here for my nephew to use the loo, my dad went too with no fuss (just before 7pm on a Friday).

We called in here for a quick drink on the way back from a trip to Bridgewater. Great variety of beers and surprisingly busy for a Sunday evening.

Had a meal with a friend this evening was happy all round will be back

Food was fine but the service was a bit slow. Sat for ages waiting to get the table cleared and order the sweets. When I went to pay there was no-one behind the bar and I had to wait 10 .mins for someone to appear. They took my money but never offered a receipt! A long time since I've been here and the staff used to be very friendly and efficient. My strawberry Eton mess sundae had no strawberries but blackcurrants in it instead!

Great food, great service by Georgia, and brilliant value. One of the few places to eat that are realistic, - not every meal I want to eat is a £50 pub gourmet disappointment, as served up by 'most' other pubs now. Squid rings were a disappointment,-5 the size of a 2p piece wasn't what I'd expect,but ate, drank, enjoyed, & came away happy with what I'd spent & looking forward to going back. Great range of beers aswell.

I was part of a group of 20. Our food was pre ordered and came to the tables hot and quickly once we were all seated. The quality of the meals were excellent. Staff very professional and polite. As a group we were so impressed we have booked to come again later this year.

Nice jolly pub with a "value" offering for us oldies. Really lovely tomato soup but the mash with the sausages was hard and seemed left over from another service. But for £9.99 for 2 courses one really can't complain.

Staff were friendly, service was good we both had lamb shank and a chocolate fondant. Food was very tasty, no complaints.

Very nice pub great staff and very clean

Well after being disappointed at Christmas time we decided to give it a go for my wifes birthday (70) and yes it was excellent,we had dairy allergy, gluten free, vegetarian, the food was excellent ,staff excellent,thanks for a enjoyable afternoon,well done😀(12of us.)

Good size portions and very tasty. Nachos are great.

Been a couple of times now with my elderly mother and have to say fantastic Xmas dinner on boxing day and a very good Sunday roast Rioja is rather good too

Great staff and great food thank you all. Katsy curry was sooo good, and lasagne was good, followed by coffee and mini puds

We were served by Georgia who was very friendly. She welcomed us with a big smile and found us a table despite us not having a booking. The venue had a cosy country pub atmosphere and the food was excellent value for money.

Excellent friendly staff who make you feel really welcome with an excellent range of both real ales and lagers.........Thanks Mark

Georgia was the perfect waitress. Very attentive and helpful . We had a lovely meal and will definitely be back again. Well done to all the staff at the Swan (especially Georgia)

I had a great experience at a pub with excellent service, friendly staff, and quick food delivery. The Hunters Chicken was delicious with its perfectly cooked chicken, smoky barbecue sauce, crispy bacon, and melted cheese. Highly recommended!

Fantastic pub I came across on the camper van pub stop overs 🚐 warm welcome on arrival had a spot of lunch and dinner later that day food was very nice will be back thanks 😃🥩🍻

Ice pub in a very nice location. Good car park with plenty of room. A nice bar that is doggy friendly, most important! Nice selection of food that arrived well prepared and presented. Tasted lovely. Also a great selection of drinks. All served by friendly and welcoming staff. What more could you ask for

Booked for today with my wife and 2 friends for a late lunch. The food and service were excellent, however Coffees were far too strong by anyone's standards, and we asked for extra milk for our Americano coffees with hot milk, which did help. We were charged 50p for the extra milk which was very cheeky as it wasn't our fault that it was needed. We certainly will be back, but will leave the coffee well alone.

Lovely lunchtime meal with friends. Reasonable priced good food & excellent service.

Helpful and friendly staff. Food and drink were good and prices were reasonable.

On Saturday had a lovely meal. Friendly and helpful staff. Good atmosphere on beautiful old pub.

Super friendly, warm and comfy pub. The food was served promptly by Gabi and was hot and delicious. Excellent value too :)

Place was very busy so it was understandable that we had to wait an hour for our food but it was Valentines day.

Georgia was a lovely server, the food was lovely and service time was great. Had a great time, cheap deals and good atmosphere.

The Swan was surprisingly busy for a wet Tuesday in February but that didn’t stop the staff being welcoming and the service timely. I find it increasingly difficult to find a pub that can serve a ‘proper’ pie, namely one fully encased in pastry. The swan has several to choose from. I don’t get out for lunch often but when I do I’m drawn to the Swan again.

First time at this pub in a very long time, and I was not disappointed. I chose it because it is a dog friendly establishment. The food was first rate, they sell two of my favourite real ale pints and the staff were really friendly.

Excellent food. First class service and very comfortable.

this was my first time back in just over a year and what a transformation you now have a team of happy staff who work hard to make you feel welcome and the food was divine

Very good, it was a Friday lunchtime but the greeter met us with a smile and we were seated promptly. Good selection of draft beer. Excellent lamb shank (£16) and very good cod and chips (£13). All served promptly. Very tasty food.

Lovely place, loved the quiet and friendly atmosphere. Georgia the waitress was super friendly and food was amazing. Definitely coming back with friends and family. Thanks for the great service :-)

A beautiful place to go with friends and family! Love the lamb shank! Amazing one!

We spotted this pub in the middle of the village as we drove through, so we stopped for a drink and what a pleasant place to go. It had the old village pub atmosphere, with friendly staff and we will definitely be coming back to have food. Great job.

Timbered building, prompt table service.

Good food nice atmosphere, lovely log burner for a cold day We'll worth a visit

Great food and service as usual would highly recommend. Fast and attentive service. Excellent value and freshly prepared. The giant custard cream cheesecake was amazing.

What a lovely pub! Food was excellent and service was exceptional. Staff checked back at just the right times and were on hand without being intrusive. A rare find these days! Wonderful atmosphere too. A very enjoyable and pleasant evening. We will definitely be back!

We are both non drinkers but met for a catch up. Well I have to say this has to be the most expensive place for soft drinks. Crazy. Nearly as much as an alcoholic drink.

Waited over 1 and a half hours for food and starters turned up cold... The pub was over booked and understaffed...

We had a lovely lunch at this traditional pub and the staff were so helpful and friendly. We were only able to meet up with family here as the pub was dog-friendly and it was great to share the space with so many other well behaved pooches and not feel out of place. Food was great and we did not feel rushed to leave at any point. Will be returning again I'm sure.

The Sunday Lunch here never disappoints and the staff are both friendly and helpful. Saw a few christmas party's happening and it all looked great

Had our Christmas party here and couldn’t have been more delighted . Food amazing , service spot on and the entire night was outstanding . The staff were amazing . It was busy but very well organised . Many thanks to Wayne and Julie & him team . Thank you

Fantastic food, just what we needed after a long day in the woods. Dog friendly and a spacious car park too! Can't compliment enough and look forward to future visits

Very friend and helpful staff. Food arrived quickly and they checked back to make sure everything was ok. I had the schnitzel chicken and it was very tasty and there was alot of it. We will definitely come back.

We were lucky enough to have our Xmas party at the Swan in Tockington ! The food was amazing for a party of 55 ! Fantastic/friendly staff ! What a night ! Well done to every member of staff 👌🏻👏🏻

Had a family meal last night ( table 21) in The Swan, the food was fabulous no complaints, we did appreciate that they were short staffed. The man doing the waiting was doing a brilliant job, he kept his cool. A really lovely evening. I had the vegan Kerralla curry which was really nice.

I have been visiting The Swan my whole life as I live locally. I’ve never had a bad experience, it’s always been warm and welcoming. A very traditional English pub! They have numerous amazing vegan options, tonight I had the Beyond Meat burger and a...

Very friendly helpful staff. Efficient service and excellent food. We had a starter , fish and chips and a delicious blackberry and apple crumble , all of which was lovely. Thank you

Had a lovely meal the food was excellent the service was great the pub was lovely and warm with a nice fire going on a winters day

A beautiful pub with great character. Excellent food and service!

Went for lunch today. The food was excellent and good value. The staff were very pleasant and efficient. Atmosphere was relaxing. Certainly be going again on our bnest visit to the area.

Very nice old country pub staff very helpful food was good and reasonably priced on the Thursday night they were very busy

We had a Christmas Dinner booked here for myself a nurse who had just finished a 12 hour night shift with only 3 hours sleep my partner and mother 83 with poor mobility. When we arrived we were told our online booking had been cancelled, later to find out the local manager had done this. We Ended up with a lovely meal and lovely service not provided by Greenking but locals who visit this pub as their local. Thank God for community spirit had it not been for the locals helping out big time we would not have had a Christmas Dinner! BTW this place only got a score because the locals helped out, had it been all locals they would have had a 5 star and Green king 0 stars. Message to self don't visit until its changed hands, lovely pub and locals but very poor management! Watch this space this pub can be great but not under GreenKing! 10/4/23 update have been offered a free meal but unless the management changes, I won't go near the place, shame as this was always our go to for special occasions, very sad as this pub is being ruined by the current set up. 15/11/2023 So returned tonight as heard this lovely old pub had changed hands., Couldn't fault the waitress service except the barman was pretty grumpy and uncommunicative, the food was ok but still not sure I will return in any hurry. Also no signs of the manager, unless he was the grumpy older person behind the bar? This was despite the previous message from the new manager guaranteeing us of a lovely meal and time, we still don't feel like we have a resolve from our awful experience last Christmas and based on our experience as of tonight 15/11/23 we will not be returning. My friend who Ive not see for 30 years even commented on how grumpy the bar person was. This is an amazingly lovely old pub and restaurant we gave it a 2nd chance but the management structure really does need a big shape up of the people front of house, such a shame as it has the capacity to be amazing.

Eighteen club members called in for an early evening meal. We had pre ordered and everything was done to make us so welcome. No hitches, everyone was pleased with the food and service and we’ll visit again.

Went for lunch today with two good friends. We were shown to our table by the waitress, sandwiched between another 2 tables. Space was very tight. Before we were seated she asked for our drinks orders. She hovered and said shall I take the drinks orders. Far too pushy. After we were seated we waited 20 minutes and she came back for drinks and food orders. The scampi snd chips was a small portion with 20 please on the plate. The lasagne was one layer of pasta over a 1cm layer of meat, and some glue became. There was no evidence of cheese. We gave up trying to talk to each other above the noise from other tables. It was not a relaxing and enjoyable ladies lunch. Disappointed. The price was fair but we won't be back.

A beautiful country pub with a warm and atmospheric feel. The staff are friendly and welcoming, it is dog friendly which is a big positive. The food is delicious with a good variety and excellent prices. Would definitely recommend a visit.

A beautiful country pub, with a warm and atmospheric feel. Dog friendly. The is delicious and plenty of choice. Definitely worth a visit.

I went with two friends and my nephew to celebrate a new job. The menu had several unusual items on, not normally on pub menus and lots of temptation. I went for the Lamb Shank which melted in the mouth. I have had bad IBS...

Popped in for a quick bite at lunchtime. Quite busy for a Thursday so they must be doing something right! Welcoming team, found us a table quickly and service was great. Food menu was standard pub fare but really good value. Nice building, atmosphere and...

Lovely food and good value. The staff were very good as well. Good selection of beers to choose from.

Lovely little village pub. We had a great family meal here at a really reasonable price. We love the new menu and staff were all great

Amazing food with great service

Come in for lunch with wife, lovely pub. in a quiet village. Had a lovely meal which was served quickly by the lovely team.

Always a great meal and great service from the friendly professional staff. The seniors menu is great value for money for 2 or 3 courses. The main menu is Ali’s great value for money with the option of some being 2 for a fixed price....

I had Sunday lunch here last week and the food was excellent the staff really friendly and helpful. Thoroughly recommend

Lovely pub, dog friendly, with lots of character and welcoming, efficient staff. Great food from an extensive menu … so much choice

Not enough options for desserts or drinks Took away the best dessert banana and butterscotch ice cream Other than that it’s nice

Quick and hot food. Great atmosphere and staff. Nice to have somewhere that allows dogs and caters for them. Loverly little pub.

Excellent food with fine & friendly service from all the staff. We regularly visit here as we’ve not been disappointed so far.

A splendid country pub in a picturesque village. Great atmosphere, good food, with friendly/hardworking staff ! See you again very soon 👍🏻

Went with a group. Phoned prior to state my dietary needs and avoid embarrassment at the table. Spoke to lovely young lady Georgia. On arrival we went somewhere discreet so I could fill in all the foods I’m unable to have on an iPad. Blunder...

Arrived at pub on Friday tea-time. With no booking. We're were met by Dylan. Who went above and beyond to get us seated for a meal. We thought he was very welcoming. The staff were very busy but looked after us very well. Great experience...

Sunday dinner was a disappointment nearly£15 ahead, only exited of 2 small frozen potatoes and frozen veg, swimming in so much tasteless gravy, I thought was very poor for the money

Very busy pub, friendly staff, service slow but they were extremely busy. Good food. Enjoyed our visit.

Traditional English pub serving locals and visitors, lovely atmosphere, great beer, lovely food. Plenty of room, quick service and tables nicely spaced. Dog friendly too !

5 past 2 on a Tuesday and they are refusing to do food as they are “too busy” the place was half empty very disappointing

Food was very good and our waiter Dylan was excellent at serving us.

Great Pub, good food, nice beer.

After a long journey back to Bristol (home) we really didn't fancy cooking so thought we would nip to this pub for tea. The staff were lovey and friendly, attentive service. The food was well presented, tasted great and was reasonably priced. We will come...

A bit strange to have cold custard with a hot crumble!

Very disappointing meal. We ordered 2 open sandwiches & left half after struggling through at first. Feta tasted ‘off’ chicken was dried up & avocado was soggy & unpleasant having been marinated in lemon juice. Bread too hard & crusty to cut. In fairness other...

Excellent choice of food, including vegetarian. Very good value, two meals for approx. £15 or the Seniors special at £9 for 3 courses. Staff were friendly and the service was quick and efficient. Will definitely return and would recommend. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g8722381-d2640473-r907365946-Swan_Inn-Tockington_Gloucestershire_England.html#

Fantastic place! Turned up unannounced - Ash (& all other staff I met) were really friendly and hospitable... a great discovery; many thanks Ash & team!!! Steve Mac - from Derbyshire!!

A good visit here from a large group of us and an already busy restaurant. Friendly service from the team and food came out hot and within a reasonable time. Food was good for the price, the onion rings were overcooked and I have had...

Very varied menu, sandwiches, light bites, breakfasts, and full meals, something for all appetites at competitive prices. Very friendly staff, nicely decked out and a real community feel. Lovely pub.

Excellent Sunday lunch beer was good very nice desert will be back soon

Visited this pub on the off chance as staying nearby. On the first night we were served by Saffa who was very helpful, especially after a slight problem with a steak. Without hesitation it was replaced and to our surprise the item removed from our...

It was quite busy and we hadn't booked but they found us a table straight away,we ordered food .food arrived very quickly,great experience

Been coming to this pub for years. Staff are friendly; food is very nice and has a nice atmosphere.. they allow dogs in part of the pub, so ring to make sure they reserve a table.. They also have a nice beer garden at the back..

Pretty much what you'd expect from a nice chain pub but with very pleasant serving staff.
