The Swan in Lichfield - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Only had a coffee outside on this occasion but the waitress was very helpful when I enquired about the food menu. Lovely atmosphere inside. Will definitely be coming again.

Great bike nights Wednesday nights

A Gem of a place. Go there regularly on the motorbike at weekends, great chilled atmosphere and always other bikers there to chat all things bike. Ale is ace, reasonably priced and the good looks/smells amazing. Love it.

Great food, atmosphere & location.

Went the bike night. Good turn out and the pub is in a great setting 👍

First class good entertainment watching the boats trying to turn 🤣🤣

Went fir bike night ...friendly locals and staff very fast service great prices and atmosphere even ice cream 🍦

It's ok, could do with a makeover, it feels tired and feels like a good clean would make it feel more inviting.

Lots of diversity in here, all age groups welcome.

Lovely location especially on a sunny day, but inside as well is very nice!

Pleasant traditional pub. Great staff. Ordered 2 burgers, which were great. Had the Crab with Salad. Bit disappointed - salad was past it's best and consisted of big pieces of lettuce with a lot of stalk and not much else. Very poor. Everything else was good but don't order the salad.

Good Bikers pub n good food n atmosphere 👌

First timer her for a bike night randomly picked off the map. Glad we found it. Great little pub with a great atmosphere, right next to the canal. Good selection of beers and the food looked good too. Will be back for sure 👌🏻🤘🏻

Popped it New years day for a couple pints and some nibbles. First time we have been back for quite a while as we moved out of Fradley for a few years.. and it didn't disappoint! Some lovely beers on tap that's for sure! It's a dog friendly pub too which is a bonus! We live back in the village now and will be making a few more regular visits that's for sure!

Beautiful pub which dates to the 17th century as a listed building. I love the amount of seats outside right next to the canal to bird watch too. One of the ribs someone ordered came out cold but they fixed it straight away and our waitress was super friendly and nice :) will be back

Friendly staff lovely atmosphere.

Lots of seating inside the pub and outside with a beautiful view of the canal. Food was absolutely delicious and service was great.

Booked in for a meal on a Saturday night we ordered our drinks shown to table we ordered two overpriced sirloin steaks came with oven chips garden peas half grilled tomato steak was smothered in greasy onions was not asked if food was ok or asked if we wanted desserts will not be returning

Lovely evening meal after a day on the canal served by lovely girl who was very pleasant and helpful.

Only had some beers but great location in the sun next to the canal. Would highly recommend. Also good choice of alcohol and array of food. Will definitely be back.

Poor service nearly wrong order not sure I will go back again

Nice place for a drink but the food is not as good as it used to be. Last 2 visits were disappointing.

Great. Really enjoyed atmosphere and food. Service with a smile.

Great location. Lovely food. Friendly and efficient staff. Good beer. What's not to like.

Great on a Wednesday evening for bikers night

Good beer, steak cooked how I asked. What’s not to like?

Very good pub with excellent beer.

Wednesday night bike night Just had drinks great place to be Bikers made exceptionally welcome brilliant.

Cracking pub, slept over in the carpark in our van. Run by a Welshman as well, happy days.

Location by canal, lovely setting. Food adequate, just a lovely place to sit and chat in wonderful surroundings

Brilliant place to visit. Staff are amazing. And polite.

Visited a few times and it's always been spot on. As a large group served promptly and well.

Great traditional pub in nice location, food OK.

Went in about 4pm to the public bar. The cook was sat at a table chatting to the bar maid. There were 7 customers in the bar. I ordered lasagna which came with chips and garlic bread. The chips had been cooked within an inch of their life and were very dark. Most were just crisp where they had been over cooked. The lasagna was very dry and the top was hard in places. No atmosphere in bar. No background music and most of the customers on their phones. No thanks awful

Fab little pub in a lovely location. Perfect stop off point when cycling along the canal. Friendly, helpful staff.

The swan aka the Mucky duck to the cognoscenti 😉 has always been the place to go. This area has been regenerated and is now hopping!! A real good spot for walks and refreshments. Gorgeous canal atmosphere 🤩

Lovely view, lovely food. Drinks are a bit pricey though

Lovely friendly staff +amazing food =great lunch

Great pub, great food, beer and excellent service

Only had drinks but can't knock the service, first class. The setting is absolutely perfect. It was a beautiful day when I was there. Sat outside, plenty of space and overlooking the locks. The afternoon couldn't have been nicer, very tranquil and relaxing. A great place to unwind, enjoy a drink and let the world go by.

Great local quiet pub I visit often scenery and beer garden are the best yet 👌

Went to meet up with some other bikers. First time down there. Nice location, quaint little bar, nice outdoor seating and plenty of parking. Very much enjoyed my chicken burger.

Lovely canalside pub with plenty outside seating.

Lasagna, lacking taste or anything resembling a tomato base, completely bland ,chips & garlick bread ok.

A lovely canalside hostel, an excellent ale selection,and the beat dish and chips I've had in a long time

I visit to play music. It's a characterful place by the side of the canal with good car parking. I've never eaten there but the good looks nice.

Been coming here by boat for nearly 40 years. Rarely eat here but food looks a right plateful and I overhear good comments. Beer always good. Winter hours closed mondays. Just be aware if you use the car park if you are walking or dining elsewhere nearby. There will be a charge but not for genuine Swan customers. For too many years drivers just think they can park without patronising the pub. I'm now back testing beer. Brill as usual. Back to Summer hours as of next Monday.

Great canalside pub. We always love popping in when we're that way. Always nice when you get to the bar and they've already poured your drinks. Food is top notch, and a good gluten-free offering.

Always has been and always will be one of my favourite places to visit. Staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is always bang on !!

Have not been here for 30 yrs as moved to Kent. Great food, service and as friendly as I remember. Beautiful Fradley junction canal. Highly recommended

Lovely food and staff were lovely and attentive just was a bit loud due to tanked up regulars who did apologise but carried on being Loud! We have been in again and still enjoyed it... regulars were still there but slightly less Loud lol xx we'll see you again very soon xx

A really pleasant place tucked away down the towpath at the junction of the Trent and Mersey and the Coventry canals. Lovely location, very nice food.

Situated on a canal junction, perfect place to while away a couple of hours watching the boats go by.

Nice for a drink in the middle of a canal walk. We've never yet had time to sample the food. Atmosphere is great. Good selection of beers and great service every time.

After a good walk we enjoyed a hearty meal with a pint. Reasonably priced.

What can i say..not been since lockdown and wow what a differents in the sunday lunch.outstanding and even a doggy sunday lunch which i dog loved.cant wait to try the menu on a evening

Fantastic meal, great beers and friendly accommodating staff. A lovely place to relax for a few hours during the cold evenings.

Great looking pub but Guinness was terrible. It's my favourite tipple and all I drink. Tasted like chemicals. Maybe line cleaner? Shame because we wanted to make this part of our regular walk.

Gorgeous food and lovely atmosphere. Attentive staff and special thanks to Craig

Great pub, nice ambience and atmosphere

Always a great place, food was excellent,called in after the memorial service at the NMA

A tasty Sunday lunch in a traditional canal side pub.

Lovely food. Lovely pub and nice friendly people

Went here for a couple of drinks after go karting . The pub was really friendly had a laugh with us service was good definitely call In again if we are that way really enjoyed the afternoon 😁

Great night out fantastic setting

Stopped here mid week in September for a quick drink while on a bike ride. Unfriendly welcome from two young women who didn't look like they wanted to be there. The Moretti I had was off (tasted like vinegar) and the rocky road was so thick with hard cooking chocolate not much else to it. Not good. I wouldn't bother going back. Only nice thing about it was the other customers and the beer garden

First time at the Swan for us today. Great pub in a lovely location.

Top notch food and the warmest welcome. Shoutout to Craig, the loveliest most attentive barman 😊

Didn't had good food. But the pork scratchings were good. Only issue was on a Wednesday evening couldn't sit and have a quiet pint/glass of wine as the bike gang insisted on reving their engines as they entered the car park.

Nice place to sit outside on a nice day

We love coming to this fabulous country pub on the canal.

Great canal side pub and restaurant. I had the best burger ever 😋 Friendly and efficient staff and great value 👍

Fabulous find, amazing location and food was lovely. Staff all friendly and polite. Hope we go back sometime. Also a bonus that they allow you to park overnight.

What a great old boaty pub to feast in. and as for the beautiful young lady who served me from behind the bar she served me with a smile . Keep up the good work 👏

Lovely meal here today. Great food, lovely staff & a great setting

Very expensive £12.95 for nut roast,half a carrot half of a small parsnip some swede puree, cabbage and 4 roast potatoes and gravy. Came out still hungry. Sorry, but the portions need to be more substantial for that money. In saying all that, it was tasty and well presented also the staff were very good.

Nice food, great beers. Food finishes early on Sunday so had to go back Monday before we left Fradley Junction.

Good good. Fair prices. Lovely canalside garden

Visited 3 times whilst staying in the area. Lovely pub serving great food in a friendly environment, outdoor space and a lovely cellar restaurant area. Generous portions and food came in a reasonable time even when busy. Staff are incredibly friendly. Craig was a joy to chat to.

Great place to sit outside by the canal, lots of outdoor seating at the front and back of the pub. We enjoyed a lovely meal inside, pub was very busy but the food came out relatively quickly. Staff lovely too.

My mom and dad have been visiting here for 30 years,they love going back and the location and service are brilliant,can get busy but plenty of outdoor table's,can't fault it

Always welcoming hosts who serve excellent beer and wine

Excellent food. They even do doggie dishes. Great ales Lovely helpful staff 10/10 for us..

Lovely location with good food 😋

Good food and drinks...beautiful scenery all around, dog friendly..loved it .

Didn't eat here but a friend did and said it was good. Tiger beer and larger selection good. Food looked fabulous. Great friendly pub with landlords serving behind the bar.

Little gem on the side of the canal , food was amazing and staff friendly ,we had a Sunday roast and it was delicious 😋

Been here a few times service has been a bit hit and miss (including staff complaining at me when I pointed out they had undercharged us!) Dont think we'll bother coming again as we tried to go here for a meal after a walk round fradley today. The staff were reserving a table for 2 hours for people they weren't sure when they would turn up (was already 40mins into the tables reserved time but wouldn't let us sit there) as a different table become free we went to sit down (as it didn't have a reserved sign on it) to be told that table was also reserved and we couldn't sit there. Clearly they don't need or want our business.

It looks a great pub, haven't been here in years, next to the canal and locks. Was very busy as a large group attended a wake, pub staff service was swift and Beer was tasty. Looking forward to a further visit

Just stopped for a quick drink 🍻 nice place.

Been many times and probably will continue going

Lovely pub.. Great beers..Reasonably priced..Food absolutely great.Lovely atmosphere and the bar staff amazing and friendly..Highly recommend this delightful pub..

Very nice little canal pub , only tried a couple of Ales and some cheesy chips but was very nice .

Good food fairly priced and friendly staff Should invest in a plate warmer

Great old fashioned pub next to a canal towpath, with secure and easy parking. Good choice of beers and ciders, the food was good quality and plentiful and the Manager and his staff wonderful. Will definitely come back.

Great food great staff and service well worth a visit

Sat outside by the canal side for most of the evening, very friendly welcoming place..

Real old fashioned pub. Super location

Very welcoming and welcome find.

After a day on a canal boat we stopped off for a nice meal. The service was diabolical we waited 80 mins for the meal which at best was poor, the chicken was over cooked and the fish was dry. No follow up or checks to see if we were happy with the food. This pub has a prime site on the canal but you would be better off stopping off at one of the local villages. This is the worse pub meal experience we have ever had.
