I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a pint at The Bear & Swan in Chew Magna, and it was a fantastic experience. The pub has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with a charming blend of traditional and modern decor. The selection of beers was impressive, and the pint I had was perfectly chilled and delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The cozy seating and the lovely ambiance made it a great place to relax and unwind. The Bear & Swan also offers a wonderful menu, and although I was there just for a drink, the food looked and smelled amazing. I can’t wait to come back and try some of their dishes. Overall, The Bear & Swan is a gem of a pub. Whether you’re looking for a place to enjoy a quiet pint or a lively evening with friends, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

Visited for a family Sunday lunch. The food was really lovely & great service. Parking was an absolute nightmare on the main road meaning quite a walk. Quite expensive too.

We booked here for an overnight stay before an early flight. Great little find and the beds were so comfy. Rooms had everything you would need with a great selection of drinks. Toiletries included in the bathroom and room decorated in a homely style. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant with a great selection of food and drinks. Staff were really friendly and due to our bathroom radiator not working we were really grateful for the extra heater. The car park is at the back of the hotel so a bit fiddly to find but now we know how to get there we Will definitely be staying again as so handy for the airport . 5 stars 🌟

We came here for a Sunday roast with our toddler. They were able to accommodate us and offered us smaller portions for our little one. The roast was absolutely delicious, best I've had in ages and all elements cooked to perfection and we really enjoyed it! Thank you for having us!

We were here as a family. Nothing special. The usual overrated pub. In the photo of the cutlet in the burger, which was ordered for children, it is simply a shame, it gives the impression that they were made from what was left. Not only that, they ordered for two children, and both have these. It was the second time here and I think it will be the last.

Travelled across from Weston super mare to have lunch here en route to the Massive Attack gig in Bristol. Ordered the roast, we debated on all the available meat but settled for the beef. The starter was excellent, shared and devoured, delicate peaches and burata When our roasts arrived the first impression was that that was the biggest Yorkshire pudding ever seen as a single entity. Unearthing the food beneath we encountered slabs ( the only word to describe) of beef that were nearly a centimetre thick and half the size of the plate. Vegetables, cooked perfectly, gravy delightful. A magnificent meal

The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. They were also so sweet to our dog, giving him lots of attention and fuss, which made our visit even more special. Highly recommend for a fab meal with great service!

Visited the pub yesterday for lunch. Extremely limited lunch menu. The staff were polite. The drinks were nice but the portion size was awful for £15.95. We had one mouthful of beans with three small sausages and some chips. Did taste good but we didn’t end up paying and left.

A very quite lunchtime Birthday for my wife. The food was very tasty, although the choice was limited, straight off the bat, l we were told, some options were not available and virtually the start of service. The lunch menu seems more cut down, we had booked so they knew we at least was coming. The service was very relaxed and slow. The lamb with noodles was very good, throughly recommend and l had the chocolate Delice and it had a nut crackle slab which had no place on the plate, it was so thick it nearly broke my teeth. My wife had the sticky toffee pudding and it did have Happy Birthday written on it, it did have a posh Quinel of ice-cream, it slipped off the table as it was served and the Chef run off to get another dollop and it was so embarrassing, it was just dumped on the plate, l feel it should have been taken away to at least add a Quinel in the kitchen, not very professional. It's dig friendly to a point you are allowed anywhere with your dog.

Enjoy and thankyou all at the Bear and Swan

This review is for the restaurant not the hotel. I had the lamb, and it was just awesome. I mean, I m french, and I just flew back from France where I also had good food, and I m usually very critical of English restaurants and cuisine. But this young chef is super talented, and I would bet this was not random luck for this particular dish. The lamb was perfectly cooked, right texture. The blue potatoes mash and it's sauce was perfectly balanced and absolutely matched the lamb and the rightly prepared veggies. All in all it was really good, (REALLY!), looked good and colourful in the plate if food aesthetics is your thing, and portion was sufficient to not be hungry after. I went to congrats the cook, I did not ask his name but as long as he works there you ll enjoy your lunch or diner there.

Stayed here whilst working in the area. The hotel was lovely, the room spacious, well decorated, well laid out and spotlessly clean. The food in the evenings was delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The only negative was not being able to get breakfast before going out to work. Breakfast didn’t start until 8am but realistically you did not get your food until 8:30am. We did ask if we could have a takeaway bacon sandwich ready for 8am which they said we could, however on said day bacon sandwich was still not ready for 8:20am so had to leave without it as had a meeting at 9am. A lovely hotel if you are staying for pleasure and want a leisurely later breakfast, not so good if you are staying for business.

Can't rate the rooms as we didn't see them or stay there. We were there to celebrate a birthday, just a get together with family and a meal. On this particular occasion we ordered the fish with chunky chips and crushed peas. Sadly the fish was saturated in fat/oil which ruined the meal. I didn't want to embarrass the family by complaining so I just ate what I could. We're unlikely to eat there again.

Definitely going to the Queens arms tomorrow night. The Bear and swan has gone very down hill for a Saturday night. Diabolical service, zero atmosphere, rude staff, £13.80 for a large glass of wine. Asked for a coffee after 3 rounds of drinks just gone 10pm with diners still eating and told they had turned the machine off and to bad 😩 now I understand why the pub is empty and everyone's downs the Queens.

The Bear & Swan was, for me, a perfect experience for our friend group's Christmas get together. When I say perfect, I mean *perfect*. To go through everything - it was a group of about 10 of us, and we all had different things on the menu. I did the three course Christmas meal (which amounted to four course really) for £40. So amongst the pluses: * The food portions were just right * The taste was delicious. Absolutely delicious and full of flavour * The Deconstructed Cheesecake isn't a cheesecake but all the bits to make one spread out on a plate. When it came we were all 'what the heck' as maybe we didn't read their menu right - we hadn't - but those of us who had it, it worked! * The service was SUPERB. The staff, friendly, welcoming, appreciative of light banter, quick to serve, organised just with the right timings for the food so nobody was out or ever waiting too long... it was fantastic. * The blokes loos were clean enough * The decor was warm and homely and the place felt welcoming, not a grubby 'local' Resultantly although it was towards pricey, this felt entirely justified as it backed it up with superb, well, everything. I don't mind paying a premium if a place can back it up. This place did. I've been once before and it was good. Coming back to it, it was utterly amazing and I want to go again. Thank you for a special Christmas meal guys!

The room is beautifully presented, bright, clean and has useful amenities (kettle, cups, tea, coffee, milk, iron, ironing board, extra heating, fan, shower, sink, toilet, wardrobe, hangers, free WIFI and TV. The bed was large and super comfortable. Also worth noting that despite being very busy in the pub, we could hardly hear a thing in the room! Only difficulty was finding parking.

This was a fabulous find - the lovely authentic railway carriage was warm, private and intimate, the menu appealed to my family group and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals, which was colourful and well presented. The desserts were as equally yummy. We also saw sight of the up and coming autumn and Christmas menus - definitely be back

Wow. Fantastic meal with my wife last night. Nice intimate environment. Excellent hosts. Great food. I’d come again in a heartbeat. Worth making a trip to Bath for.
