The Old Swan Inn in Cotswold - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Pretentious place. Staff don’t listen to requests, e.g. brought drink with ice when asked for no ice, brought dessert with clotted cream when asked for pouring cream. Food at best average.

Service from start to end was fantastic! Lovely friendly accommodating people just a shame the food was pretty poor in comparison. Sunday lunch.. meat was chewy and very over cooked, roast potatoes were rock hard likely from frozen. I definitely could have done with more than a spoonful of veg ( which was served in a small dish between 3 people) cauliflower cheese was lovely though but again between 3 people in a single serving dish was disappointing. £17 for a frozen re-heated meal. I can’t help but feel if the food was as good as the service I’d have definitely given 5 stars.

This is a really rare place..the staff are so genuinely cheerful and helpful that you wonder why other, more expensive places can’t do the same? Nothing is too much trouble and the rooms are lovely - Sunday lunch is great too! Don’t overlook this place, they deserve the business - this is how it should be done.

Had dinner here on Saturday night with my husband x taric was lovely really friendly, it was so nice we went back for Sunday lunch too.. we will be back

Beautiful setting, but not the most welcoming. Made a booking the day before but on arrival they had no record of our booking . felt a little uncomfortable, but then a gentleman came out and dealt with us very professionally and made us feel a welcome. It appeared they had lots of tables anyway and we were given the choice of a few tables outside. This pub is famous for its Pies, they were very nice and beautifully presented. we also ordred a side of seasonal veg. disappointing, broccoli and sauted potatoes. As the Pie came with mash more potato was not a great choice for a seasonal vegetable. We will return simply because the pies were good and the venue rather lovelly. Young man who served us was very pleasant and quite attentive.

Stopped by for Sunday Lunch with some friends, friendly and accomodating we settled for the Sunday special roast and all thoroughly enjoyed it. Good value.

Under covid rules got a table, but not the most friendly experience. Followed the one way system and asked to order drinks, pumps the other side of the bar and staff member seemed quite irritated we asked what was available and had to check. We ordered 2 pints - no food available as no chef - we ended up getting sandwiches from the local Londis and found a nice spot by the river to eat them.

Me and a friend visited for lunch last sunday after hearing there was a new chef. The food was amazing Breaded Brie to start followed by roast beef with all the trimmings! Yorkshire puddings, parsnips, roast potatoes, veg plus cauliflower cheese! Lastly we shared their cheesecake with raspberries! All in all food and service were excellent. Will definitely return 😍😍

had nice breakfast and some very good fishing very nice owner dog friendly parking area not ideal for wheel chairs wheel chair users may be able to park in staff car park but i advise checking first by phone also check about door sizes etc

Schöner alter Pub - sehr urig, schön gelegen am Fluss und mit guten Speisen und natürlich Getränken. Großer Parkplatz.

Went as a foursome. Meals took way to long, not much taste. As we were leaving a gent said to the waitress ‘how much longer will our meal be we have already waited 1 hour’. The reply was 30 minutes so they also left. Very disappointed

Really good pub, really good food, really good staff and a campsite. Everyone was in a really good mood and was just happy! We will be back.

Visited this establishment today drawn in by board outside promoting new chef, new menu. The lunch menu has some variation of snacks and sandwich choices, such as Brie and cranberry, crispy chicken and mango. Served on fresh granary bread with fresh salad, delicious homemade coleslaw and fries, there was nothing to fault and only praise for a very enjoyable lunch. It’s a very smart and comfortable place, with ceiling beams and a very old open fireplace retaining sone old style character for a relaxed setting.

Had sunday lunch here today,i have to say the best i have eaten in a very long time.The presentation was at its best,the staff were very prompt and very helpful.I would highly recommend THE SWAN INN....Will be there next sunday too,

After a delightful walk along the Thames path we went to The Old Swan Inn for lunch. It is situated in a beautiful spot and the take full advantage of this by providing plenty of seating outside. It’s perfect for lunch on a sunny day. We ordered lunch of a sharing seafood platter which consisted of smoked salmon, prawns, couple of small prawns in shells, crayfish tails and crab meat. HOWEVER there was no crab. Just crayfish tails chopped finely in order to make it look like crab. The platter included 6 bits of baguette, butter and mayonnaise. The cost was £20. Very poor value for money and a bit naughty not to admit to not having any crab and just pretending. It was all very watery as well so probably just defrosted. We ordered a side of chips and they were delicious. Would not recommend the seafood platter but will probably go back for the chips.

Probably the worst Sunday roast ever. Three very small potatoes, mixed veg and something that was supposed to be pork, three thin slices of leather. More than £12 each for that rubbish.

Un delizioso pub Cibo tipico Gentilezza smisurata Prezzi contenuti Contesto lovely Sicuramente da provare se da queste parti

Great evening out in the Cotswolds great meal and efficient helpful staff I had steak and chips which was delicious and shared a mushroom starter. I really loved the decoration of the place.

A high quality pub. Very warm welcome for us and our dog. Service efficient. Food of a very high quality. We ate early and so it wasn’t too busy. Highly recommend.

Aunque estaban muy ocupados, nos encontraron una mesa para dos, lo que nos dejó saber que podría ser una espera de 30 minutos para nuestra comida. Valió la pena la espera, raciones de comida muy buenas, mi compañero tenía el huevo y las papas fritas de jamón, el jamón era grueso y hermoso, no hay jamón barato aquí. Definitivamente voy a visitar de nuevo.

Un poco aleatorio, pero me dejaron en el hotel Swan equivocado y al darme cuenta de esto, la persona de la recepción hizo un esfuerzo para buscarme un taxi a mi otro destino e incluso me trajo un café. No los puedo complementar lo suficiente, fue la más extraordinaria amabilidad.

Nos detuvimos de camino a casa después de un hermoso día en el Craft Fayre en Blenham Palace. Pedimos dos guisos de carne, la porción era muy pequeña considerando que era 12. 95 cada uno. El guiso era muy salado, sin papas! y las bolas de masa hervida estaban muy polvorientas por dentro, ¡obviamente de un paquete! No recomendado, muy decepcionado. Le mencioné a la señora que cuando recogió los platos, dijo que le devolvería esto al cocinero. No recomendaría

We stayed one night in order to visit Kelmscott Manor and had a lovely time. Warm welcome, very comfy bed, private car park, good breakfast. Would definitely return.

Estábamos buscando una posada para tener unos días de descanso en los Cotswolds, pero no en algún lugar que rompiera el banco. No podríamos haber elegido mejor. La posada se encuentra en el centro de la ciudad y cuenta con estacionamiento dedicado. Siempre una bonificación. El personal era acogedor y eficiente. Nuestra habitación era preciosa, limpia y la ropa de cama y las toallas eran muy lujosas. V 4 cama muy cómoda. El desayuno servido y preparado por Zoe era excelente, con mucha variedad.

They committed to serving 18 people. Slow service and the food was middle of the road. Graveyard was brown water. Meat was not cooked properly.

We fecently enjoyed a two night stay at “The old swan inn “at Lechlade Lovely comfortable rooms friendly staff and a great atmosphere.will certainly stay again.

Great little Pub in the centre of the lovely little village of Lexhlade.

Had a pleasant night stay here in an interesting room, but noisy due to being close to the road. Breakfast was good and cooked to order, but stay overall was quite expensive, perhaps due to limited alternatives in the area.

We had great time enjoying ourselves staying at the Old Swan Inn going to the riverside. We liked this Inn because it used to be the oldest Old Forge Brewery. The room was a spacious beautiful historic room with the old wall. However, the carpet in the room was a little bit tiring.

We arrived a bit sunny day the guy behind the bar was very nice but oh just so slow it wasn't even that the place was busy, we ordered our food only two meals and he didn't even put that through properly, the poor chief was cooking, waiting and clearing away too , our food was nice when it came although missing our side order because bar man forgot.

Simply Great food...plentiful portions...A brilliant sunday roast highly recommended...such a shame the local riverside pub can not produce the same....

2 of us ate here as we were passing. The pint of Tribute we had was the only good thing. Food tasted and looked as if it was cooked from frozen. The chef kept walking in and out and looked as if he was drunk. Not once did we see him wash his hands even though it was clear he was smoking outside.

Arrived late but still in time for dinner. Receptionist wasn't at all welcoming and as another guest has already commented, she wasn't very forthcoming with basic information - so much so we decided there any then we'd go elsewhere to eat. There are only 4 rooms, two of which are beautiful - as seen in the pictures. We managed to sneak a peek as we were leaving. We had the standard rooms which were functional but unremarkable. We quickly discovered that a door next to the bed was hiding a boiler as it was pretty noisy when it fired up and I was woken nice and early in the morning when it did! Breakfast was similarly very unremarkable. I asked for poached eggs on toast. The eggs were over-cooked and the white was missing - looked like two big yellow eyeballs on the plate! The toast was similarly overcooked. My husband had full English and was disappointed to be served fried bread instead of toast (as stated on the menu). The woman serving breakfast was friendly and attentive to be fair. When we left there were no goodbyes and thank-yous. We just got the impression that their hearts just weren't in it. On the plus side - a very comfortable bed and good parking to the rear though some advance information of how to find the car park would have been useful.

Staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. We stayed in deluxe king room for two night. The room was just perfect. It was very clean with a very comfortable bed. I loved the bath! Our room had fire place, which looked amazing but its only there for decoration. As it was mentioned on booking.com there was towels, tv, kettle, tea, coffee, etc in the room. You can take your own hair drier if you like because the room doesn’t have one. They cleaned the room daily. First night the room was bit cold, second night we put the thick curtains down which stoped the cold air in from the window corners and kept the room warm. Breakfast and the food was fine. The hotel is very cute, decorated with musical instruments on the walls. They have two fire place downstairs, one at the lounge and the other one at the bar area. We really wanted to have our meal/drink next to the fire place. The bar area was bit crowded so we asked them if they could put the fire on at lounge area for us, but they refused to put it on. However, we did still enjoy our time there. The only negative thing was the walls are not sound proof, I could hear the music they were playing downstairs from the bar. But it’s still worth staying. I would go again because the room was amazing. The location is very quiet. No traffic noise. Perfect for those who wants a few days quiet break from the crowded city. I didn’t see any bus on streets while we were there. I think it’s best to go there with a car. I recommend you to visit Bibury village. It’s a very cute village worth seeing, only about 15 minutes away from the hotel by car.

We went to The Old Swan for Sunday Lunch with Friends. The had booked well in advance and had specifically asked if they do a Sunday Roast. We arrived at about 1.00pm with lunch advertised from 12.00 till 5.00. The place wasn't busy, and we were shown to our table. We asked the young waiter what the roast of the day was. He didn't know and went to ask the chef. On his return we were told beef or gammon. We asked to order drinks and were told to go to the bar. We got drinks, came back to the table and ordered 3 beef and 1 Gammon. We waited again till the waiter came back to tell us they only had 1 beef left!! I'm not sure who had eaten the rest, but for our party this did not constitute a reasonable Sunday Lunch offer. Www told them we would go elsewhere, and asked for the drinks bill. This was presented in a very unfriendly manor. We paid and left. Never to return!

Took our 12 year old grandson to The Old Swan last night who has hollow legs and they managed to fill him up - What an achievement. He recommends the all day breakfast. We enjoyed the scampi and some very nice home cooked ham with eggs and chips. Well cooked, nicely presented and friendly service. Can definitely recommend this as 'good pub grub'.

Our daughter and son-in-law have lived in Lechlade for a few years but we have never eaten in the Swan. On a rainy Saturday we decided to give lunch a go and were so pleased that we did. We had a warm welcome, high chair quickly provided for our 1 year old Grandson and a nice table by an open fire. The lunch menu was standard pub fare but plenty of choice. Two of us had ham, egg and chips, the others, scampi and chips. Both were very well cooked, fresh and generous portions. We will definitely be returning in the near future.

A nice welcome to an old pub that has been so stripped back that it has no character. The food was well presented though the fish was small and the jacket potato rather leathery. I think the owners must be new but were very pleasant.

Nice warm pub with roaring log fires and great food Lovely place for an evening meal High quality country cooking

Had lunch on Tuesday very nice staff, good choice, very reasonable prices, will definitely visit again.

Under new management and the food and service were very good. The Pie-of-the-Day was very tasty. They have kid items.

A few teething problem (especially the time it took to get breakfast with only 2 tables) but friendly staff and...

We have been calling into this pub when in Lechlade for years , good choice of ales .They also do food ,which has always looked ok .

A lovely breakfast experience for our party of 17. To start off- this double fronted pub is as lovely inside as it looks outside. Our waitress was excellent and nothing was too much trouble- such an efficient girl. Food quality was great- all 17 of us enjoyed our breakfasts which were presented beautifully. Excellent value for money- a real Lechlade gem of a place.

We arrived to a lovely welcome, our b&b room was a lovely size with a great en suite and the best bit was that we could bring our dog too! We enjoyed a very tasty lunch at an excellent price. We then spent a very comfortable night at the b&b and the included breakfast exceeded our expectations, being freshly cooked to order and served with 'proper' coffee too! The staff were all so polite, welcoming, professional and helpful that we will definitely be booking again - thank you and see you soon!

Friendly and unpretentious with modern rustic interior. Great choice of pub grub with some from local suppliers. Lamb chops special was delicious. Cheerful and helpful staff and reasonable prices. Great!!

Having arrived in Lechlade on our boat we were looking for a comfy pub for dinner. We came through the last lock on the Thames and the lock keeper recommended the Old Swan Inn.Wow! A lovely old pub with friendly staff and an amazing chef Clare! The owner Shaun made us very welcome and Chloe our server was happy and helpful ! The food was excellent! A good choice of gluten free meals, and gluten free caramel apple pie!!! It was 'to die for!!' A well priced and comfortable pub!We are coming back for breakfast!!!

We all had baguettes which were served with salad and coleslaw, they offered chips as an alternatice when one person said to leave off the salad as he would not eat it. Good choice of fillings and friendky service.

Was here for lunch today. Cosy pub with original features. The staff were friendly. Ordered 2 Sunday roast beef lunches. The vegetables, potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were all good. The beef was a little overcooked and a tough, but overall a good meal. Shared the Eaton Mess which was fruity and tasty.

Loved this little gem. Rooms are nicely done , very clean. Staff were friendly and food was really nice. Compliments to the chef. Would defo visit again. Thanks to all.

We stopped here by chance this afternoon. Welcoming staff member who sat us at our table. Good menu of British pub food . Quick service, yummy food and very reasonably priced. We will definatly be back .

My wife and I stopped here for lunch on the way back from cirencester. After looking at a few of the other places to eat at. we decided to eat hear. Glad we did. The bar lady was lovely and friendly. The bar old-worldy and the food excellent. Will definitely return.

Was lovely to see this pub with new owners they have done wonders with this pub they were very friendly and welcoming

Love the new improvised beer garden, real sun trap. Great beer and lovely staff. Ask the landlord to give you a song, he made be shy but be persistent.

Visited last week for a family lunch and it was lovely. The atmosphere was warm and cosy and the staff very friendly too. Will return when next in the area.

Popped in for a drink and was made very welcome by Sean Although we didn't eat the food coming out looked very good. Would definitely give the food a try next time.

What a lovely place. Friendly family run Inn. Wonderful location. We were well looked after. Clean rooms comfortable beds. Friendly and caring hardworking owners and staff. Breakfast was excellent. Will certainly be staying here again.

We had our first Sunday lunch here today though we live locally and are regulars in the bar. The roast chicken and roast beef lunches were of very high quality with plenty of meat, potatoes and vegetables. Traditional puddings are a bonus too so .... Spotted Dick all round! At approx. £16 each for the two courses this was outstanding value. Great service, a warm fire, what more do you want on a wet afternoon.

Have popped in here a couple of times for a drink. It is nice and cosy for a drink. It is very much a locals pub though but the bar staff were friendly. Would like to go back and try the food out.

A very strange place,Is it a cafe,a pub or a building with no atmosphere or soul, food was average to say the least,poor menu choice,tad on the expensive side for the quality served which seemed cheap ingredients,and the staff seemed overwhelmed and not the friendliest, will not be returning when next in the area.

we came to lechlade for a breakfast meeting at a different eatery but found it closed,walking back to the car we found this quaint pub. we were welcomed warmly,had a lovely cooked breakfast,they happily lit the fire for us when we said we were cold and we even ended up staying for a late lunch.

First class. Nothing more to say really.I bet their Sunday lunch is first class and that they do really good food for kids.

We stayed a night in the twin room .The room was clean but very small and basic the beds weren't very comfortable as the mattresses were not very firm or thick .The owners were very friendly and helpful .The breakfast was very good although being vegetarians there wasn't an alternative given to replace bacon and sausage . ...It was just left off our plates ! Lovely building in a lovely village .

We had a wonderfull stay in a lovely room. Bed perfect, beautyful bathroom, very cleanReception friendly, helpfull! A good english breakfast, fresh seasonal fruits ( raspberry, strawberry...). Higly recommended to start 'the romantic road' of the CotswoldG and V from Belgium

I only had time for a quick half (Otter Ale) as we were moving on to Burford but the beer was OK although I was disappointed that they didn't have any Old Forge brews which they advertise on the windows. Can't comment on the food or B&B

Dropped in for a very good pint of beer whilst wandering round Lechlade. It even has its own micro brewery.

レックレイドのメインストリートにあるB&B！アンティーク屋さん目当てにレックレイドに通う中、ランチでお邪魔しました！素朴な佇まいですが、手入れの行き届いた建物、美味しいお料理にお紅茶！決して派手な美味しさではありませんが、お薦めできるレストランです！

Booked through booking.com with the request for an extra bed as our 8 year old was travelling with us. Arrived to no reception area and had to wait for someone to help us, only to be shown to a room with 2 single beds and no space for the extra bed. Needless to say we slept 2 in 1 bed. The owner proceeded to tell us we were not the first that this had happened to. Room was clean and breakfast was standard. Dinners are not served here anymore.

Nice steak. Nothing special but the Merlot included with the 25 for 2 meals deal was excellent. Good service with a smile. Thank you.

warm and inviting,great atmosphere and variety of meals; freshly prepared local vegetables and meat,more than enough for the big eater

Both had ham, eggs and chips. Was tasty. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. We'll be back for the steak night

Stayed in the Marlborough room which has a double four poster bed. I believe the hotel was built in the 16th century. The room was full of character. It had a real fire place, beams on the ceiling, leaded windows, the bathroom had a rolled top bath and separate shower. Nice touches are complimentary toiletries, free Wifi, tea and coffee making facilities, a hairdryer. The room was lovely and warm (but for those who have tropical moments!!) you can adjust the temperature of the two radiators and there is a ceiling fan with remote control so can be operated from the bed. Only ate breakfast at the hotel which was very tasty English breakfast.Only slight negative would be the noise from traffic outside. There is a car park at the rear.

Came here and stayed in one of the fabulous rooms, the crown room was very comfortable and spacious with a fabulous bath, the food was amazing the female chef can make a mean steak. I felt very welcomed my Lynda the proprietor who was working on the bar. The open fire made the bar feel very welcoming. 10 out of 10 I will defiantly be back.

I went in this pub just before 8.30pm last Friday and asked if they had a table for four to have steaks (iFriday is Steak night). I was told that they had all gone. When I asked if food was available from the normal menu I was told that service had finished. When I asked when that happened (on their website it clearly shows dinner till 9pm) I was told 'Two minutes ago' with some glow of satisfaction by the member of staff. I left somewhat disappointed by the lack of customer service not to mention the lack of food. I do understand that it would have been wise to book but it has not been necessary in the past. Furthermore it is a quiet time of year after the flurry of the festive season. It was a spontaneous decision to invite some friends who had not been there before – so it was embarrassing as well as disappointing.I e mailed the pub to tell them about my experience but after a week I have had no response...

This place has got it's mojo back, loved the bacon and brie sandwich today. The atmosphere was so relaxed and the staff couldn't have been more attentaive. This is back to to our go to place. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Reading other peoples reviews, I think I went to a different pub for Sunday lunch.Four of us were squeezed around a rough wooden table, with very basic chairs. The starter is served with basic bagged salad.Roast beef was too raw for three of us, yorkshire puddings over cooked, and roast potatoes were like boulders. The cauliflower cheese was under cooked and sauce very watery.The menu had four desserts, one of which was a cheese plate, and out of the other three there were only two choices left, chocolate brownies or panacotta, neither had any appeal to the four of us.Perhaps I expect too much for a meal that costs £12/£16, but I feel that you should be asked if you eat beef partly raw, and that with desserts, the chef should know their popular choice and make extra percentage of that dessert.I feel people like this place as it is quantity not quality.

Really attentive hostess made sure our visit was perfect. Food was great for meat eaters and vegetarians alike (high praise from the vegetarians actually) with a nice slab of beef for the sunday roast and excellent parsnip crisps and roasters!Great flavours in the fishcakes too Only improvement we could suggest is less tart and salad for the goats cheese and caramelised onion tart and maybe the edition of a bit of cous cous or something as most of the starters came with a salad already. Will be visiting the next time im in Lechlade!

We always visit here when we come to Lechlade I enjoy the atmosphere and people are always so friendly my little yorkie always gets a lot of fuss look forward to our next visit

we went for Sunday Lunch last weekend, very nice. Nice welcoming waitress. Food was a stable sunday lunch, not my first choice of veg, but the other three in the party liked them more. Nice quaint setting, good foody place to call in and eat, but not an out and out restaurant. We enjoyed it, great food for the price. Would go back.

Thought we, a party of four would give the Friday steak night a go. We hadn't booked but luckily there was a pone table left. £22.50 per couple which includes a bottle of wine seemed very reasonable. What a wonderful meal we had. The steak was one of the most juicy steaks we have had. It was served with chips, mushrooms, tomato and a lovely salad. Also as a side dish, real onion rings which were also delicious. The meal was very well presented. The wine was good and any left in the bottles we could take away with us. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I would certainly go back again.

What a lovely old pub. We had an excellent meal there. The hosts were very welcoming. It has a comfortable bar with a large inglenook fire place, unfortunately not cold enough when we were there to be lit!

This pub used to be our go to pub if we were stuck for somewhere to go. Unfortunately in the last month or so its started to go down hill. Trying to pass off 2 slices of toast with some garlic butter on as garlic bread was the final straw for us. The food used to be a real selling point but not any longer. Hopefully things will improve and get back to the old high standards but until then we won't be returning.

This has been a regular favourite good value pub with great food for myself,friends and family for sometime. However over recent months the quality of food has become poor.Sadly yesterday early evening was the last time I will be visiting due to being served poor quality food - again!

It's a shame because the staff are friendly and the place looks nice; it has inviting settees around the fire, and it is well presented; nice coffee. But the food was really disappointing. Fish and chips should not be difficult but all bits of it were dry and overcooked, with much of the batter inedible. Sorry to give it only two out of five because I expected better.

I have nothing good to say about our dining experience here. We had booked for 7.30 p.m. Only three of our party ordered simple starters that took 45 minutes to arrive. By that time we needed another bottle of wine which once ordered, we had to remind the waitress to bring it. We were still waiting for our main courses at 9 p.m. When asked where it was we were told that they were very busy (there were only about 20 people in there) ! I had ordered a steak which in all fairness was good but it was accompanied by two measly mushrooms, an uncooked tomato cut in half and a pile of chips. I was underwhelmed, The rest of our party were of the same opinion and we will not be going there again,

Somewhat weird visit. The host seemed exceedingly awkward, so much so that we began to wonder if it was his first night on the job. He was pleasant enough but seemed uncertain of what to do and where to seat us, despite the room being completely empty. Eventually, however, we were seated and ordered. The food turned out to be quite good. The Posh Pigs were a sort of surprise with the bacon being especially tasty. My wife had the steak which she was quite enthusiastic over and I had the lamb shank which I enjoyed a great deal. Split a fine tiramisu for dessert. By the time we departed, the room had filled in nicely and the nice meal and largely overshadowed the odd start to the evening.

I ate here for one of the days of my week stay in lechlade. I cannot find anything to fault and only have praise for such a lovely little pub. I ordered the posh pig with red onion chutney for starter, which was well presented and flavoursome. I then followed that with the lamb shank with creamy mash, the lamb was so tender and delicious. I would more than recommend this pub to eat and would return again if in the nearby location.

We had a family dinner here the last night on holiday. We were a large group & our waitress was so very gracious to us. She pulled an extra table together & was able to explain menu items to us. It was a nice mix of traditional English fare - my husband had sausages & mash - I had the fish & chips - both were great. They also had more "foodie" dishes - My daughter had a pesto pasta dish that was great. My in-laws had the steak special - which was wonderful and a great value as a bottle of wine was included with the 2 steak dinners. We would love to come back some day - and would highly recommend it to all.

Looking for somewhere for lunch and found this on TA so thought we would check it out. Drinks were fine but the bar man was disorganised, the food was spread across 2 menus and 2 specials boards and to be honest it felt a bit like he didn't know what he was doing. We sat outside as it was a nice day in an alley surrounded by walks and looking at a house with a rotting roof. All in all I am sure the food is as good as the other reviewers have said but nothing about his place instilled any confidence so we left having just had a drink.

The hotel is old but solid with lots of character, comfortable room.(Radnor Room). The road outside is a little busy but that's not the hotels fault. The steak dinner for two for £22.50 (for both) including a bottle of wine is excellent value. The breakfast is very good with good local fresh produce. Hope the new manager makes a go of it, he certainly made us very welcome.

The most delicious burger, cooked to my preference, that I have ever eaten, and I've eaten a few. Would definitely recommend to others as reasonably priced and a lovely atmosphere with very polite staff.

Absolutely spot on. Went for lunch today. Faultless. Lovely pub food; fresh & unpretentious. Great home brewed beer. We're going back. Nice people too.

Myself and partner came in for lunch on a busy weekday .We were shown to a table and given menus .a very extensive menu choice of sandwiches , jacket potatoes and a range of specials .I opted for the basil,mozzarella and tomato whilst my wife chose bacon,Brie and cranberry .Both sandwiches were delicious served with chips and homemade coleslaw and portions that don't leave you feeling hungry.We shall return very soon excellent value for money .

Food was excellent. We had the beef roast which we both enjoyed.Good atmosphere and busy but good service.

had the goats cheese with pear and walnut salad - it was beautiful. the lady that served us was friendly, polite and helpfiul

was nice but nothing amazing,went in for a breakfast and for a drink later in the evening but the girl that was on at the time was more interested in her phone than serving us

5 adults and 1 toddler in a highchair for mothers day lunch. Great freindly service, fantastic food and reasonably priced. Made to feel very welcome as soon as you step in the door. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Highly reccomended.

I took my husband to The Old Swan on Friday the 20th February for his birthday, Friday is Steak night and we were treated to a lovely meal, the steak was cooked just as we liked it, there was plenty of well cooked tasty chips and some magnificent onion rings to accompany them. Service was friendly and timed just right, they even provided a slice of gorgeous chocolate cake and a candle to celebrate

The food was excellent, our steaks were cooked perfectly and the peppercorn sauce was lovely! Very generous portions. Breakfast again was lovely and a good selection!

Bar staff were really friendly and the three guest beers were very enjoyable, it was a shame we had to go as I'm sure we would've had a few more. The log fire was pumping out the heat on a chilly day. Look forward to returning.
