We visited at lunchtime and sat outside in the lovely garden. Having seen the lunchtime food appearing at other tables we booked for the evening. There was a lively atmosphere as the quiz was on, but not so loud that it interrupted our meal. Great, friendly staff and very good food.

just now New We went out for a walk and had no clue where to get dinner, we’d seen this place across the canal and it had nice reviews. Still i was pleasantly surprised! The sign outside says ‘great food’ and not a word of it was a lie! I have finished every last crumb of the chicken pie (pie of the day) the seasoning was spot on and the crust so flaky! Very kind staff as well! Defo recommend and I will be back for sure!

TLDR: BEST BURGER EVER! Now on to the review. This place is hidden gem. I'm from up north and have been coming to atherstone since being a baby. Came down this week for the funeral of a loved one. After going from a stroll down the canal to calm down, my partner and I found this place. The music and atmosphere is great, classic from the likes of the beatles and talking heads. Very relaxed. The staff are proper gentlemen, treat you so well and have brilliant manners and service. Shout out to Mark the waiter. Lovely chap and from another former worker in table service your doing a great job. The food is phenomenal, I am the sort of person that always finds a fault (check out my other google reviews). But credit where it's due. My partner had a chicken and mushrooms pie. We both loved our food so much we went back the next day and made the same order. This place now has a special place in my heart. Give this place a chance. You will not be disappointed.

We had a nice meal here last night but the portions were quite small and it was on the expensive side for what we had. The waitress was lovely but my husband asked for a prawn cocktail and they had run out of that. He had a lamb kofta which was on a piece of flat bread that had raita on it with a very small kofta. It was £8.50. Another couple came in and they went again without ordering. My trout was really nice but had a few sliced potatoes and 3 pieces of asparagus. With hollandaise sauce. I wasn't too keen on the sauce. There was a choice of about 6 puddings and a deal with a coffee and cake. However there was no cake. I ended up with ice cream and was still hungry when we got home. My husband used the he said it was disgusting in there. All in all a shame when we spent almost £70 in there. Not what we would expect really.

Party of 5 went. All ordered Steak and Ale pie served with chips and seasonal greens. One pie came out with a raw topping and was sent back. Had to wait at least 15 mins for another which then had no meat in it. Pie content was cubes of stewing steak with carrots and watery gravy. No taste of ale. Seasonal greens consisted of one sprig of tenderstem broccoli and a savoy cabbage leaf. Best bit was the chips. They did only charge us for 4 meals but won't be going back. Did say they were a member of staff down which I think must've been the chef. Disappointing to say the least.

Came in for quiz night and decided to have something to eat first, opted for a pizza from their new spring menu. Pizza came piping hot and was a generous size with lots of toppings, we opted for the meat feast with chunks of chicken,ham and sausage slices. There was a nice balance of tomato sauce and lots of lovely melted cheese too and the dough base was just the right thickness. Overall an excellent pizza, wecwill be back for more.

Portions small this time e.g. Fish and chips - not many chips and a thimbleful of mushy peas. The cask ale was very good but the muzak was far too loud and intrusive. Staff efficient and friendly. Perhaps they are cost-cutting on the food?

Awful food, I had wild mushrooms on toast for my starter, came out cold. The toast wasn't even toast it was more like bread and just toasted at the edges. It was soggy. For my main I had the duck, I had one mouthful and sent it back it was that awful couldn't even eat it, it was that bad.

we have been visiting this pub for the last two years and it’s had its ups and downs but the food has always been good. Now it’s been beautifully refurbished so The level of comfort and atmosphere is significantly nicer, and I’m glad to report that the food is just as good as it’s always been. Make sure you have a good appetite and look to generous portions of lovely food. On the question of price it is excellent value for money you will not find better.

VERY DISAPPOINTING... New couple has taken over what was, was being the word, an amazing, friendly place, none of that there now, never going back, food was awful, asked for medium rare think it had been cooked before then reheated, hard chewy cooked within an inch of it's life, husband had chicken dinner awful as well, queued for drinks ignored by manageress, told them it was over cooked they couldn't careless, asked to speak to manageress wouldn't come out, that speaks volumes to me. AVOID IF YOU WANT A NICE TIME AND MEAL .

After having to sit in the bar and serve ourselves to be truly let down with meals my steak was under cook pepper sauce which felt like someone left over gravy from their Sunday dinner my partner pizza was soggy and very bland. We felt after spending so much money and being ignored by staff we had to finish the meals and get out of there. We also realised the lady next to us was highly disappointed and ignored by staff too. I am highly disappointed with the swan. The staff didn’t come over and ask if we were ok if meals were ok we felt ignored. We were only here a month ago and it was amazing so what has change!!!!! We will not be coming back….

£35 for a buffet you expect quality instead, cold and awful. No veg, had to wait 20mins and still nothing. Poor waiters were clearly understaffed and ran off their feet. Chef was clearly angry when I handed my food back saying it was cold and over cooked Not what I expected
