Eaten here a few times over the years and it's always been nice. Most recently popped in for Sunday roast. It was excellent. Highly recommended

I was welcomed when I entered the premises and showed to my table that I had pre-booked. Pre-booking, I had no issues and plenty of availability at the time. When shown to my table I was asked if I would like to order a drink. Great selection of food, and I didn't have to wait for long for food to be served. Great food and great service, would be coming back here again in the future.

Can’t fault the service we had but the food was shocking. My wife ordered the beef and ale pie with roasted carrots and seasonal veg. The pie had 5 small bits of meat in it and three were gristle. There was a small piece of overcooked carrot, three small leftover bits of overcooked broccoli and some peas. I opted for the gammon, egg and chips. I’m pleased I asked for a steak knife as I had to use it to get through the gammon. We don’t expect 5 star from a chefs brewer but this was a joke.

Had a nice night out catching up with friends helped by the friendly staff in the swan especially a young lady called Chloe. The restaurant was busy however she made time to wait whilst my fussy friend decided what she wanted to eat and checked that we were happy with everything. The food was nice and we didn't have to wait long. We would all happily go back so a big thank you to all of the team especially Chloe.

This was an awful experience today. We came in they already looked pissed off we were there (was not busy at the time) they had a 7/8 year old cleaning tables. It took 1 hour and 40 minutes to get food which was dry and cold. I had to get up several times for basic, napkins , sauce, cutlery etc. 7 tables who ordered after us had their food before us. Tables around asking if everything was ok, we were ignored. We were not rowdy just 4 of us and a baby who was asleep the whole time. I was very polite throughout and they did not charge us for some of the food which we were grateful for. Just so disappointed when going out for food is a treat for us. (I’m a social worker and work a lot of hours )

Came here for my brothers 30th birthday celebration on a Wednesday evening. Considering the food was all preordered, the kitchen team still managed not to have some items on the menu available. This was for the gluten free options so I’m amazed that this was not properly adhered to. Preorders not being properly evaluated meaning some people got the wrong item on the menu. I had the fish and chips and the peas were still frozen, batter not crispy or batter like at all. Other complaints were that the food was cold and plain and lacking in flavour. Although the food was sub par, the waitress we had was great and tried to rectify every situation she was put in. Doing ever so well to keep calm and cool and still remain a positive liked member of staff. Thank you to Kate. Overall an underwhelming experience

Not much atmosphere for a Saturday night. It's a shame the Swan is a lovely historic pub. With so many pubs offering music on a Saturday, maybe it's time for the swan to do the same. Food was good apart from the apple pie that was anialated by being microwaved .

Came in for Sunday roasts. The veg was very sloppy and uninspiring, the meat was decent and the gravy lacking in quality and quantity.

Booked a 2pm lunch with friends. No table was even ready for us. We were an afterthought. Spent ages queuing at bar to order NO TABLE SERVICE. Kids (I mean 18 to 20 year olds) running the bar and front of house (... one of them told me most of the staff were sent home...) this was stupid as the pub could not even cope with our pre booked table. Queued to order some meals. Half the stuff not available. Not one special meal. Queued again and something else not available. 40+ mins to food (which was at least hot). Ordered deserts but 45 mins later I had to tell them not to bother ss we couldn't hang about all day getting more and more frustrated. They took over 100 quid from us for the worst service I have ever had. All 4 of us agreed the place was a shambles and we would never go back. Not even an apology. Shockingly poor service and a total shambles of a business. Also major safety issue... one of our group is strictly gluten free. There was no attempt to provide the gluten free menu despite asking. It should have been on a tablet... was pretty shocked about this too. Avoid this place if you want service...

Appalling service. Staff are friendly, food is fairly decent. On our first visit we waited and hour for our food. Today the main came out reasonably quickly, but the puddings took over 30 minutes and the coffee was served wrong. Two of the four drinks were incorrect. These were supposedly changed, but came back and one guest had asked three times for a decaf latte as they are unable to drink caffeine and were served caffeine and are now in bed with a migraine. Please avoid this shambolic service at all costs.

So... I've been here a few times before and the food has been serviceable. Not great, but fine... just good enough. However, we went on a Sunday, for a change, to try the Sunday roast. The main courses took a looooong time to come. Not blaming the staff for this, as I'm guessing they were under-resourced and stretched. When the food arrived... not good.... not good at all. Wife had the Mushroom Wellington... which looked like the cheapest, lowest quality, frozen garbage (and apparently didn't taste great). Both our meals had very unappetising looking carrots and broccoli that we both attempted to eat and quickly gave up. Both our roast potatoes felt... weird. Can't describe, but something wasn't right in flavour and texture (probably cooked from frozen?). My Yorkshire pud also looked odd and didn't feel fully cooked. I had the aged rib of beef... which was SO fatty (the waitress had mentioned it might be a bit fatty, so I was warned... I guess they've had complaints about this before). Onto dessert... maybe that'll save the day? Nope! Wife fancied the crumble, but then was told not available. So, we both went for the chocolate fondant. This comes with ice cream inside... again, it had a weird taste and texture. Seemed like it had thawed and then been re-frozen. Waitress asked afterwards how everything was... I just paused and said "fine". Didn't want to give her a hard time about it, as the crappy experience was largely out of her control. But it was not good and we probably won't be going back.

I guess it's not a bad mark against the pub but messed up the visit for me anyway although staff were very welcoming of my dog whilst I was correcting him another guest tried to tell me I was wrong in the way I train him and it just pit a downer on what was supposed to be a peaceful relaxing catch up and conversation with a friend. Might go back but the argument ruind everything for me on that occasion. Edit: dear swan team I had left service unawncerd as my friend went to do all the orders ect not me but changed to 4 * as I think it's slightly underhand to ask someone to remove their comment simply because you dissagree. I gave 5 * for the food as the food was the best part but ultimately not why I was their. My mum ran pubs and pub restaurants and we would not have tolarrated this and would have suggested they move to another part of the pub or leave as we had been there for some time before they arrived and started. I asked several times for the person to mind their own buisness and they continued. It's at that point we would have stepped in. The 1* was for the atmosphere as like I stated before it Spoiled the visit and instead of talking about the things we were ment to the conversation was over as I clearly couldn't say anything without the person taking some objection so was very awkward after this and I couldn't wait to leave. I probably would have changed this if I came back but I won't be back now after the comment as I really don't think my review was unfair as it was how my experience with the place was sorry you feel it's unfair.

Very mediocre. This used to be my local until I moved away six years ago. The prices are now very high for what you get. There were five of us, two had the steak and two had the trio roast. The other person had ribs. The steak was average, the salad uninspiring and overall the food was lukewarm. The two roast dinners were very average and the vegetables scarce. Paid extra for a side of cauliflower cheese which disappeared in two mouthfuls. Not worth £170 (inc two drinks each). A real shame as this used to be a fabulous pub.

We have just relocated from abroad, and staying locally with our daughter. She suggested we go for Sunday Roast, so we booked a table for 17.30. We arrived early and waited 5 minutes to be seated. In fairness they were quite busy. We sat at our table and ordered our drinks and food together as we knew what we wanted. After quite a long wait the lovely waitress Chloe said there had been a mix up in the kitchen and we’d have to wait another 20mins for our food. Unhappily we said ok, by this time it was 18.50 when the food finally arrived. Ben the duty manager had come to apologise for the mess up in the kitchen. He was very polite and apologised again. We started to eat what can only be described as second rate meat. My wife’s pork had curled up where it had been reheated and my beef had two really large lumps of gristle. In fact the whole dinner was very bland. All in all I’d have to say I was totally appalled with the food. The service from the staff couldn’t be faulted.

I rarely go to a pub to eat, but although the service was good , at 5pm on Thursday , I was disappointed with my meal, the sirloin steak was rare when I asked for medium , the steak was pretty rough and the half tomato was burnt on the top and barely cooked., chips were ok although could have been hotter. I did not complain but I would not recommend this place to eat as the chefs cooking needed improvements. it is some years since I last visited the premises and even though I live within walking distance of the venue, I shall not be visiting it again in the near future.

My wife and I unwisely chose a three meat dish and, apart from the turkey the meat was like shoe leather, impossible to cut or chew. This was by far the worst eating out experience ever. The helpful staff gave me a container to take it home to leave out for foxes. Hopefully they had very sharp teeth. I was foolish enough to accept an offer to only charge for one meal and paid £19.14. In fact the food was worthless and we should not have been charged at all.

Wasn’t very happy yesterday at the swan pub. I have never had a bad experience there, or bad food. But unfortunately we waited over an hour for our food with no warning upon ordering which was fine because we understood it was busy so had a drink and chose to let it go. Sadly when the food came there was no gravy, it was so thick and wasn’t even enough to cover just the pie, the vegetables were not cooked they were very tough, my partner had 2 roast potatoes which was smashed all under the meat. After waiting so long and being quite hungry from not eating all day we were very disappointed. The “manager” toke 1 meal off the bill which was nice but upon paying I tried to explain that we weren’t told about the wait and what was wrong with our food. He proceeded to tell me we were the “back end of the booking” and they were busy. Which I felt was an excuse but sadly isn’t an excuse in my book to have bad food when you’ve been waiting for so long. I told him it sounded more like he was trying to make excuses he got a little bit flustered and cleared the bill which was not what I was asking him to do, he then proceeded to look over me and look at my partner to talk. My partner doesn’t speak for me, I am very capable of talking for myself and don’t need a man to talk for me. I found this incredibly rude and down grading in the end I just felt it best to walk away. I have been in this pub lots of times and not had a bad experience ever, I’m not sure if the chef had changed, we’ve never experienced bad food until yesterday, but sadly after the experience yesterday we probably wouldn’t eat here again. Apart from that bad experience the atmosphere was great and the other customers were lovely. It’s just a shame about the customer service, food and the wait. It seemed the other customers were also growing fed up with the wait. Maybe in future you should make people aware of the wait before ordering as this just creates a snow ball.

Came here with my friend on her recommendation for a roast dinner. To begin with, the wrong order came out and the roast was sub-standard and that’s being kind. Very disappointing. But Chloe turned this experience from what was going to be a 1 star review to a 4 star. Her service was 5 star, she completely turned my experience around, she let the manager know of my disappointment and came back with an offer of free pudding which was incredible.

Lovely pub, well arranged. Friendly, helpful staff. Unfortunately my seafood grill was over cooked so very dry. Other meals for our group were very nice which is why I didn't mark the food lower

Fantastic pub, travelled a distance to visit family. Pub catered for gluten free for me, thank you.

Lovely evening. The menu is limited in the evenings when they run out of stuff but that’s only complaint.

i hate to be the type of person to leave a bad review but i just had to. for my 21st birthday i wanted to have a nice meal with my family, my mum kindly brought balloons for the table. when we were served the waiter didn’t even acknowledge it was anyone’s birthday, then when my brother was ordering his food, i made fun of my brother for being fussy, the waiter assumed this was directed at him and i then got a snarky response back. after when the food came out, my dad had to wait an extra 15 minutes for his food meaning we had already finished before he got his food (because he didn’t want our food to go cold) when he did get his food, there was no apology or acknowledgment that the rest of us had finished our meals. we then decided to get the bill, when we asked for the bill it was rudely and rather over dramatically smacked onto the table as the waiter walked past. then when my parents were paying, the waiter was rather loudly complaining about me and my family, quite rudely, and when the rest of my family walked round the corner and he realised we heard everything he quickly walked in the other direction. in the end we did get a little bit of money off the meal, but rather disappointed with the attitude of staff, especially on my birthday.

Good, clean, quick service. We found a table ordered via the phone app, food came fairly quick. Very tasty. Dog friendly.

We used to come to the swan regularly, but about 3years ago we stopped as it appeared to have gone downhill. We are so pleased to say that when we returned today for Sunday lunch it was great. The roast potatoes were crispy and full of flavour, the carrots and parsnips were so tasty, and the meat was perfect. We were served by ‘Paris’ who was extremely professional and friendly. We will definitely be returning.

First time at The Swan for breakfast. Food was very good and service was great. Good place to stop for something to eat before going in a Sunday morning walk over the ranges or along the canal.

Very poor service 😢 had to find someone to serve me, very overpriced. Poor value for money. Will not use again. Well nearly 2 weeks later a reply. I'm from the Midlands, just see what greene king reply with.

Food was cold. Sausage was barely cooked. The chicken burger had a pathetic amount of onion inside. Seems they spent more time cutting the tomato's than any other part of the meal

Tom was a wonderful server; we’d gladly return for his excellent service and the delicious food. The atmosphere was cozy, with just the right balance—not too busy, but with plenty of seating and a lovely fireplace adding to the charm.
