Lovely pub, friendly staff but the fish and chips was rather disappointing. The chips in particular were very poor.

Had a lovely Saturday lunch at the Heart. We picked it as reviews said it was dog friendly, and we can say it is exceptionally so! The staff were lovely and made us feel welcome and made a real fuss over Ru. We both had fish finger sandwiches which were very tasty and well cooked (not overly oily fried fish). Only let down is that you can’t tip on card so were unable to leave as much gratuity as we wanted to.

We popped in for a light lunch, it did not disappoint, I had the mini toad in the hole and my Husband had the soup, both very tasty and were definitely home made. Service was prompt and friendly. When we are back up North we will definitely visit again, hopefully at Christmas.

Great traditional pub serving uncomplicated, quality food. Although not a vegetarian, I was tempted by the vegetarian Wellington meal and was not disappointed. Good sized portion with lots of flavour. Others had the pate, soup, steak and fish & chips....all enjoyed. Not over priced. Friendly, efficient service.

Stopped for lunch and food following a day trip to Hexham. Disappointed in the food. Husband got the scotch egg starter for £8. Expected it to be a larger than normal scotch egg but it was just the size of a normal scotch egg and no nicer than a scotch egg from a supermarket. I got the fish finger sandwich. 3 small bits of fish that did not even cover the bread. Overall food less than average but atmosphere was alright. Would stop again for a drink but would not order food again.

What an amazing restaurant, we went on Monday night, my partner had the scotch eggs with chorizo to start, then the fish and chips. I had the steak. The quality of the food is excellent, best chips you will ever get! As for the steak, it was cooked to perfection! This has to be one of the best meals that we have had. I don't usually leave a review but felt I had to congratulate the chef! Well done!

I had the harissa aubergine stack burger with sweet potato chips. The chips were limp and the aubergine was raw and with a strange combination of potato slices in the burger. It just didn't work. Very disappointing. My husband had a chicken burger which was just a piece of tasteless chicken thrown in a bun. I would not recommend it.

Lovely bar with interesting food. Popped in for a couple of drinks - good cask ales well kept, and decided to book for dinner the following evening. Whilst the food was good, the service provided by two ladies, was not a patch on the previous evening. No attentive table service for our meal and we ordered at the bar for drinks and food..... the previous evening, two gentlemen were staffing the bar and were extremely attentive and provided an excellent at table service. However, whilst not an extensive menu, the food and produce quality was very high.

A decent enough pub, small and cosy and the ambience is superb. The front of the pub, by the bar is fine. The rear is awful, with no atmosphere. It is super, the fact that it is dog friendly, but because it is so confined, be careful. Good reviews for food, but we have been "beefed up" before with too much cabbage with a Sunday Lunch. A good selection of wines and beers, although no Shiraz, when we asked. All in all, 4 x stars. We like the fact that it is cosy and comfortable. If you want more atmosphere, go to Muhhro or The County.

Worst Sunday lunch I’ve eaten in a long while. Best I can describe it was mush . Described as a butternut squash wellington , as it was vegan there was no pastry nor Yorkshire pudding so it was over cooked butternut squash and vegetables drowned in gravy. My partner had the pork loin with crackling which was over cooked and crackling was soft. To be fair I was warned about no pastry but I hadn’t anticipated the overcooked vegetables. So I ordered the toffee brownie dessert to make up for it and this came only half full of the glass it was in whereas sundaes are usually to the top at least! By this time I didn’t want to complain again as they had already knocked of the price of a round of drinks but I won’t be returning. On the up side , The girl who served us was lovely and the ambience was nice and cosy . Unfortunately I can’t even say it was cheap because nearly £8 for a half filled dessert is a bit excessive .

The food at the White Swan is lovely. I’ve been numerous times as this is my local pub. However, the service doesn’t always match the standard of the food. There is a middle aged lady who works there, with brown hair who is fab, very friendly and attentive. Whenever this lady is on shift, you can’t fault it. However, this is the third time that I’ve been, where this lady hasn’t been on shift and the customer service in the pub is severely lacking. Tonight, the only interaction from staff we had, was to order our food and when it was served. The very basics were there, but I recommend staff avoid discussing personal conversations and online shopping, and focus on the customers who are dinning. If the younger staff have training in customer service, the pub will be spot on.
