Most of the group I was with had ordered in advance but the management got a bit confused. All was sorted out amicably enough but it shouldn't have been confusing. The food was OK - pretty standard pub grub and the beer I had was excellent. My all-day breakfast was not large (there was a larger choice availabe o the menu) and the bacon was of rather poor quality. All seemed to enjoy what they had oprdered.

Food was good (ordering on the app wasn't great, but not the pubs fault). Didn't have the drinks that I ordered and had paid for so had to have substitutes. Pub wasn't the cleanest, could do with a refurb. Service was quite poor, I had to find our own cutlery and serviettes (in a drawer so not easy to find). Location was good. Could be a stunning pub, just needs a little tlc.

What a dump. Bar and tables full of empty glasses. Popped in as don’t usually drink here. Thanks for confirming why I usually skip this one. Have watched customers have to clear the tables so they can sit down. Can I have some of the rose tinted glasses the five star reviewers must have been wearing.

Wonderful lunch with family and our dog. We were let down at the last minute by Harvester as would not allow dogs even thought says it dog friendly. I called The Swan it was Sunday lunchtime to see if we could take our dog with us. Not excepting them to say yes or have a table at such sort notice. But I was so surprised when a lovely lady on the other end of the phone said yes of course and we can push table together to accommodate you all ! We had all travelled from across the county to go to the local Crematorium to leave flowers for my mother. I can’t recommend The Swan more highly for friendliness and helpfulness of the lovely staff. The delicious food and family and dog friendly atmosphere. Thank you for making a difficult day earlier very enjoyable later Lynda 🙏

**The White Swan** This is a great place to give to enjoy a glass of wine beer, gin and spirits. Tea and coffee is made here also. There is a nice large out door space, ample and varied seating inside. The food here is good with a fair direction on the menu and some good opinions for alternative foodies. The prices are reasonable and the beer is fresh. There is a friendly local feel mixed with a slight road house vibe. The atmosphere is friendly thanks to Jo (the bar manager) and her mostly enthusiastic crew. There is a fun Quiz night on Thursday at 8.0pm. Be sure to visit this gem is a pub in Abbott Langley when you are in Hertfordshire.

We came here as we were going to Harry Potter and was early. Found a table strait away. We ordered food and said there was a 45 min which wasn’t a problem food came out in 15-20 mins. Food was really good I had the double bacon cheeseburger and my mrs had a lasagne. Both were really delicious. Pleasent staff and a nice vibe to the place.

- do not answer the phone when trying to book. - online system to book does not work effectively - food took over an hour to arrive - big breakfast had nigh on cremated sausages. - messed up and order of chips and said we could take them (put cheese on them by mistake). - very very loud inside. Granted half term, but it just seemed excessive. - absolutely no staff at bar at busy times and till operative taking our order needed to ask for assistance multiple times as did not know standard menu items. - was only one bar staff at peak time. - toilets need upgrading as we're dirty.

Visited with my son for lunch while he's recovering from his 21st. It was quiet but nice. The two bar staff were very pleasant and friendly. The food was prompt and very tasty. In the past, evening meals there have been a bit hit and miss but we had a very enjoyable bit of father and son time and yes they did check his ID.

We went in person to The Swan to book a wake and were greeted by Louisa who booked us in despite having already booked a wake for 50 people. She arranged an area for us with plenty of space. We left with a buffet menu and clear instructions on how much we were to book from each section which we did by email. On the day the food was served just a short time after we arrived, there was plenty of it, it was of a very good quality and enjoyed by all. As there was food left at the end we were provided with boxes to take it home. Overall we were extremely impressed with the service and how they managed to serve us so quickly despite having a much larger party there also. I will definitely consider using them again should I need to in the future. Thank you to Louisa for making a difficult time pass smoothly and to the staff for looking after us.

Really lovely festive meal tonight at The Swan Abbots Langley! We had a large party of 13 of us as they catered for us wonderfully! The table presentation was beautiful, the (pre-ordered) courses came out piping hot and all in sync, and the service was great - they checked on us several times. Really recommend a visit 😊 (Esp on a Thursday to take part in the Speedquizzing event too!) Louisa did a fab job of coordinating everything The dishes that got the best feedback were the Mushroom Wellingtons and the burgers - they were delicious! The potatoes, honey roast parsnips and stuffing were also excellent! Skip the turkey…that was the only meal that divided opinions.

Terrible experience! We were the first people to arrive and to order lunch. The food took 80 minutes to arrive. we ordered one stake (medium) one hunters chicken and two kinds meals. Stake was well done and chips were cold. 3 meals arrived, then another 10 minutes until the last kids meal arrived. We asked the staff who were working how much longer it might be as we had to be somewhere at 2pm, which was a 10 minute drive from the pub we thought that 1 hour 50 minute was more then enough time to order and eat 2 adult meals and 2 small kids meals and potentially dessert and to eat them and enjoy them . Sadly the staff never checked and we then had to eat our food as quick as possible to make it in time.

Found this pub to pass some time while most of the family did a trip to Harry Potter experience. This is quite a large pub with a good car park that does food. The place was clean and tidy and the decor was good. The ladies serving behind the bar were great and really friendly and it appeared to be a place that the locals love as many were spoken to by name, but they made us outsiders very welcome. I always think having owners or staff like this is makes the experience so much better. They had a good menu but as we were just waiting we only had snacks of the menu but they were really well cooked and came quite quickly.
