One of our favorite pub lunch spots when we are walking. Nice places to sit inside and out, excellent selection of drinks and hearty pub food. I had the Steak and Kidney Pudding last weekend which was superb and I hope it becomes a regular feature on the menu. Would definitely recommend! Short walk from Dunham Massy, far better value and more authentic than the cafe on sight.

Unfortunately the swan is no longer what it used to be .. firstly I’d like to take the opportunity to thank the staff who were incredible worked hard and unfortunately for them the chefs (if we can call them that) let this place down massively .. came for a Sunday roast with my partner and son .. £18 for and adults £9 for kids .. 2 extra small slices of roast beef .. Yorkshire pudding that’s got too much flour in it so didn’t raise and was dense batter .. carrot and swede with far tooo much salt and pepper and gravy that has no taste and as thin as water .. unfortunately not the standards it used to have years ago and for that price it’s day light robbery .. please sack the chef and go back to your once high standards .. your staff are a credit to you but the food is abysmal

I loved going to the Swan with two Nicks over 30 years ago. I went to visit again as I loved it for a quick drink when meeting a friend. The website said it didn't shut for another 35 minutes after we arrived. However, they had closed the till and the last few people were going. We did get told about another pub, down the road, we could visit. This was such a shame... And on valentine's day night too...

Went in Friday early evening, greeted with a warm welcome & ordered drinks. The table we sat at the wall was splashed with old drink or something as was the radiator. Paint was falling off the wall in the same area. Main course was very tasty, however the deserts were microwaved puddings that had been done for far too long as both treacle pudding and spotted dick were hard and very dry, for the price very poor value. My wife visited the ladies toilet and had we not ordered food we would have walked out. No reason for the ladies cubicle to look like it’s a public toilet with horrid stains on the walls. For god sake get your cleaner to clean or get it repainted. Disgusting is all she could say!!

She talked us through the menu, offered her advice and was an absolute delight. Unfortunately she finished her shift before we finished so I wanted to write this and hope she gets the message. We had curry of the day, gammon, chocolate cake and apple crumble. It was delicious! Thank you to the team for a fabulous meal!

We popped in after a lovely walk around the area for just a quick bite to eat. Welcoming staff who showed us to the bar area as we have dog. Dogs are not allowed in the restaurant area, which I've nothing against. Lovely open fire, too. We ordered 2 x baked potatoes with chilli. Initially, I thought £11 each was a bit steep but gave the benefit of the doubt! However, much to my disappointment outcome, a small baked, sorry, microwaved, potato in a pudding/ soup dish with approx a tablespoon of chilli, this was quite tasty but come on £11...really!!!!!

Nice pub and restaurant busy with dog walkers. Some appeared to think it was OK to let thier little darlings sit on the furniture after a muddy walk and others bringing obviously aggressive dogs into a bar to bark at others - not much the management can do if folk have no common sense. Serving staff were all nice and fairly professional , big let down was the food. We had steak and kidney pudding which had very little steak and venison casserole in which the dumplings were way under cooked, raw flour in the middle, the accompanying spiced red cabbage was just red cabbage under cooked in vinigar, terrible! Prices not the cheapest, I don't like leaving negative reviews but hate being ripped off. Will try one of the surrounding pubs next time.

I’ve been go in to The Swan with Two Nicks for about 15 years. The food has always been excellent until this Sunday the 3rd November2024 for 12.00 lunch. A very rude member of staff just said your in the corner table for 5, didn’t even bother to escort us properly to the table. 35 mins later the food arrives very poor quality processed food, the portions were absolutely rubbish, any way the bill was £180.00 and this is the last time we will ever eat in this place. What’s wrong with the management!!

Popped in here after a walk around Dunham Massey, it was early evening and there was a nice vibe inside with the fire roaring and a few people at the bar and sat in the lounge. We had some nice drinks; the Dunham Massey Top Tree was most enjoyable and went well with the Fish and Chips and Burger. Both meals were the normal "pub fare", however, they were fresh, wholesome and enjoyable. Great service from the bar staff.

Called in for a drink on a very busy Sunday afternoon. Despite the place being full, both outside and in, we were served quickly and managed to find seats in a cosy snug with a wood fire burning. We were only here for drinks on this occasion, but all the food we saw looked fabulous and the sounds of appreciation we heard suggested it tasted as good too. The staff were friendly, approachable and calm - despite being rushed off their feet. Lovely pub, great atmosphere, ace staff. Will definitely come back to sample the food - but will definitely book first!

Decided to try and book a table for four on the spur of the moment, we were dealt with very efficiently on the phone, and we arrived shortly after. Drinks arrived straight away, and I must mention the quality of the Timothy Taylors, absolutely superb pint. We ordered a variety of mains, steak and ale pie, fish and chips cheese leek and onion pie, and the smoked haddock. All four of us devoured the generous portions, and none of us could find any fault. The obviously homemade chips were especially delicious. None of could resist a desert, apple crumble spotted dick and bread and butter pudding followed and were also beautiful. We enjoyed the excellent service from start to finish. We enjoyed ourselves so much we got locked in dunham massey car park and had to get an uber home!

My friend and I planned to have lunch at this pub today. We decided to leave after witnessing a member of staff's total lack of empathy for a disabled driver (with blue badge). We had to watch whilst the driver was told in no uncertain terms that she couldn't park there as it was the Manager's spot. Not withstanding the fact that unless the Manager has a stretch limousine, there was in fact, room for 2 cars, the elderly lady then had to struggle a further distance with the aid of a walking stick. My understanding is that there is a legal obligation to provide a percentage of clearly labelled disabled parking bays. These were not evident. Unlawful discrimination? at the end of the day, just an example of total disregard and insensitivity. Shameful.

A great dog-friendly country pub tucked down the end of a lane near to Dunham Massey. Plenty of seating inside and out. Lovely local beer selection and good traditional atmosphere. Ate on a July Saturday as table of five, eating mains and puddings. Every main was absolutely fantastic! I ate the chicken, leek and bacon in creamy white wine sauce. This really was delicious! The kids had the chicken and chorizo pasta, with the kitchen making a smaller portion for my youngest, which was good. This was fantastic again - the sauce was really tasty with plenty of meat too. For dessert it was, unfortunately, a little underwhelming after the 5* mains. I ordered the Belgium waffle. While the Cheshire ice cream was great and very generous in portion, the waffle was poor - I suspect one of those generic packet/frozen ones that are all too common sadly. My eldest had chocolate cake, which looked lovely and rich and youngest had ice cream. The staff were really lovely up to and during the meal but, after the bill came, we were left hanging around for quite a while trying to pay. Definitely will return as the main dishes were amazing and want to try some of the other menu choices.

Timothy Taylors Landlord beer beautifully kept and served, staff friendly, food lovely though my daughters prawns Marie Rose was rather lacking in dressing. The submarine rolls were perhaps a bit dull and crumbly, but my fish goujons with tartare sauce were delicious. Food and beer sermed a little dear, but maybe I'm out of touch. Location is lovely, right by Dunham Massey.

I nice old-fashioned pub in a quiet place. They tend to get the older generation visiting as far as we have seen. The car park now has an i pad that you have to enter your car registration plate into as you enter. Otherwise you could get a parking ticket. We do not like this. A lot of car parks are adopting this approach these days. I must say that it put us off going to the places that do this.
