The Swan in Cheshire East - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The Swan never disappoints. The food was wonderful, as always and great service with plenty of smiles and not overbearing. A brilliant evening.

We went for dinner on 26th Aug 2024, we have been before, this is a destination food pub led by Robert a top chef and his trained team, the menu is changed daly whatever you order is spectacular some mains are very generously portioned. Seafood is a specialty with lots of other options available. It’s a free house so the real ale is lovely and also changes. A fine wine selection along with nibbles is also available. The pub is centuries old with the addition of a modern bright conservatory style extension. Luxury rooms have be transformed upstairs. You won’t be disappointed and booking essential in my opinion

Wonderful country pub. Fabulous food and excellent friendly staff.

Super birthday lunch for my husband. Delicious food and great service from our very efficient and friendly waitress. Highly recommended.

Only had a meal but it was wonderful

An unassuming pub on the main road but omg the food and service were amazing. We got a warm welcome from the ladies in the bar who checked us in for a 1 night stay. We had open sandwiches for lunch steak and prawn ones which were utterly delicious. There's a great range of beers and wines which they were very happy to let us taste. Our room was super clean and bright with a huge very comfy bed and great bathroom. Lots of hot water and proper sized bath towels. Dinner was sublime there's a fab menu choice and the waiting staff helped us with choice. We had pork and seafood risotto which were both amazing I took home a good portion of risotto it was full of fish and seafood. The waiting staff were attentive and super cheery. Breakfast was again delicious really well cooked and served. We couldn't fault them at all just a shame about the weather. We took a walk upto Pym Chair and got very wet but on a sunny day the walks would give you stunning views over Derbyshire. We def recommend and will return.

The best food I’ve had all year, wonderful service. Love this spot.

Stayed overnight again so had lunch, dinner and one breakfast. Food is great. Love this as a night away. Staff lovely, friendly. Warm comfy bedrooms.

Super tasty food, lovely staff and lots of cosy pub vibes. Been a couple times with a group of people, all having different dishes and every one was fab. Plus the dishes were actually filling!

Really cosy, classic pub. Service is really friendly. We didn’t eat but the food smelled good. 2 or 3 cask ales plus a bitter.

I had the great pleasure to stay five night at The Swan with my family as we visited a relative in the village. The accommodation was very nice with cosy, quiet and clean rooms, and a fantastic breakfast menu of hot dishes complemented with yoghurt with berries and cereals, toast, and tea/coffee. We also had dinner in the pub several times, and were never disappointed. Food was great, the service top notch and the personnel friendly and professional. Actually, the fish and chips was by far the best I have ever had. Just fantastic. While in Kettleshulm we walked the beautiful hills around the village, and visited nearby towns by bus, which was quite convenient with the bus stop just outside the pub. All in all a highly recommended retreat for both dining and accommodation.

Discovered this pub on the way home What a treasure Lovely beer and amazing fish We had lemon sole & halibut Definitely will come again

I have been many times for fine dining, beers after rock climbing and straight pub lunch. There is a cosy traditional bar and snug, pub restaurant and beautiful fine dining restaurant. The staff are always welcoming and in winter the fire is always lit, outside heaters if you would prefer. The Restaurant food is exceptional, expensive but absolutely worth every penny. We have dined as a couple and in a group, I can absolutely recommend the 'dine by candle light' experiences if you have the chance. The food is well thought out, often cooked on candlelight and a Wonderfull mixture of colours, flavours and textures.

A couple of Sundays ago my family and I enjoyed an excellent Sunday lunch at the Sun Inn, Kettleshulme, High Peak Derbyshire. The food was excellent as were the serving staff, it's therefore advisable to book. Now counting the days to our second lunch at the Swan Inn.

OMG...what a lovely place...sharing lamb is a must!!

Had lunch, didn't stay. Nice food, but a little bit overpriced. All very clean, and staff were brilliant and efficient.

Absolutely Fabulous Beautifully cooked and creative menu using clearly high quality ingredients, mixed with fab service and fantastic venue, good beer and wine makes for a great experience.

Had a really comfortable stay in a gorgeous room. The food and service were excellent and we received a really warm welcome. Can't recommend enough!

Food was OK but small portions and very overpriced wouldn't come back. It's a shame as the first part of the bar is really cosy but no space to host have a drink. It's more restaurant than pub. Which is a shame as its the only pub in the village and its not got a local pub feel

Great service and great food. Staff are extremely polite and courteous.

What a fabulous place! Just stopped by for an impromptu lunch and we were not disappointed! Stunning food, great beers and wonderful, very friendly service! Absolutely loved it here and will definitely come back again!

Nearly £6 for a small diet coke and sparkling water. But staff were friendly and surroundings pleasant

My brother and I visited the swan tonight with an old friend of ours. He'd recommended it to us as he'd been there before. It was along way to come for us but it was worth it. I booked by phone about an hour before arrival, the lady on the phone was very helpful, she put us in the small room next to the bar. On arrival we asked if we could move to the table by the fire in the bar area, no problem they said. We ordered our drinks while we looked over the menu. We only had a main each, the food looked nice , a little more expensive than we'd usually pay, but I'd see the positive reviews about the food. 2 of us had the 10 oz ribeye steak with chips, vine tomatoes and mushroom, with blackberry sauce and peppercorn sauce, my brother had the cod. The steaks were cooked to perfection ! And according to my brother the cod was very nice to. We decided to have a dessert, so we had a crumble between the 3 of us, coz we were stuffed. All in all a lovely meal. The pub itself is in a very nice setting in kettleshulme just near Pott Shrigley, in the lovely peak district. There is a nice bar area with a roaring fire, and a nice restaurant area, plus outside seating for the summer months. The pub also has rooms which is ideal for a short break. Finally the staff were great, very efficient and friendly to. Special mention goes to Jayne (with a y ! So not plain Jane). Who we enjoyed a good laugh with and helped make it a very enjoyable afternoon. We will be back I'm sure.

Well handled phone reservation. Warm welcome on arrival. Our dog was welcome too though we needed to eat in the bar. 3 dining areas - large swanky new conservatory style modern dining room plus the olde worlde bar with open fire & another old fashioned dining area . Food imaginative & tasty with wonderful fish choices. The owner/chef was evident & charming. The team of young female stuff were all exceptionally efficient & friendly- even when the boss went home they continued working hard & smart. A lovely evening

consistently good food and friendly, cosy venue but some prices are now disproportionately expensive and will put us off booking in future. Some prices we do understand reflect the cost of produce at the moment but we ordered a cheese board which cost £18 and consisted of five very thin slices of cheese, a handful of crackers with relish and a few grapes which shocked us all and £32 for a fish curry - a very good fish curry but.......!

Fab food in a cosy little restaurant with 3 comfy rooms upstairs. Would recommend the heating to be turned on in the rooms though. Relied on the towel rail in the bathroom to provide some heat as the radiator wasn’t producing any! Nice area with some steam cars driving past

I brought a group of visitors from China to sample an English pub and the food was delicious, the staff friendly and efficient. Top class and highly recommended

My wife and I had an anniversary dinner and stay at The Swan Inn. The food was excellent... Fine dining in a pub. My wife and I were disappointed not to have had a sweet but we were too full by then. The bouillabaise was fantastic and my wife's steak was perfectly cooked. The staff were all friendly and polite, attentive but not overbearing. We stayed the night in one of the 3 well appointed and comfortable rooms and had a very tasty full English in the morning before leaving. We will certainly be visiting again.

This place is quite expensive for pub grub but then this isn’t your average pub food, this is high-end restaurant cooking, set in very pleasant and friendly surroundings. We had just visited Whaley Bridge and had failed to find anywhere there that took our fancy so decided to take pot luck on our way home to Manchester. Luckily, we stumbled across this place and were relieved to find that they were still serving food in the middle of the afternoon. I ordered the whole plaice cooked on the bone with tenderstem broccoli , a shrimp and caper butter sauce and chips whilst my wife ordered guinea-fowl with pomme purée, mixed vegetables and a mushroom and brandy sauce. My plaice was delicious, perfectly cooked with sweet succulent flesh falling away from the bone and a lovely char on the tenderstem. However, this was trumped by the taster my wife gave me from her plate. Wow, the Guinea-fowl was lovely and moist, the pomme purée was indulgent but what made it so special was the mushroom and brandy sauce. I am not usually a great fan of mushroom sauces but this was a mushroom sauce like no other I have ever tasted. It was so intense, almost meaty, but didn’t overpower the rest of the plate. As I said at the outset, there’s pub grub and then there’s food like this that you don’t often find in such establishments. We ate at The Hand and Flowers in Marlow (Tom Kerridge’s place, 2 stars) a few years ago and this food would not be out of place on that menu. Definitely one of the top pub meals we have ever eaten.

Second visit. Found this second visit disappointing after the first being so good. The reason being, we found the food bland and a limited menu. Desert menu appeared to have been buffered up with ice cream which makes for a pricey dessert, looked liked a quick fix but nothing of creativity. One of the ones we chose was ice cream in gin glass which really wasn’t chef quality. Mains bland and rather boring. Starter nice enough but prawns a bit tough. Prices are slightly greedy for both the wine and food for the experience and quality we experienced , example a £12.50 rose served in a thick chunky warm Wine glass is not really in line with the price scale. Ambience in restaurant is ok but could be improved with a bit of soft background music as all we could hear were other diners conversations word for word. This review is not to advise not to go but to provide areas of improvement. We did wonder if the kitchen had a different chef from our last visit. We wouldn’t rush back as there are other places that are much better but if In passing we would give it another try given our first visit was perfect. The serving staff are lovely.

This is a great find, beautiful food, gorgeous tasteful updating of what must be a historic Ale house. Modern but imaginative and clean. They have a lovely tables in the back garden terrace if you only required a drink. The staff are hard working and excellent -friendly but attentive. And the chef provided an encompassing menu for all the foodies and vegetarian requirements in this world .We had one of our party who does not like seafood but they had the duck and found it very good. We had the scallop starter, fish stew main and I cant remember what the desert was as the wine was so good. My son had the white chocolate crème brulee with strawberry sorbet, which looked sooo good. Well done everyone at the Swan, our holiday party had a lovely time and Henry (15 month) sends his love.

My husband and I stayed at The Swan for a short break. We were really pleased with the whole stay. Our newly designed room was amazing - so comfortable, with gorgeous bedding, and a lovely roll top bath. Both our evening meal and breakfast were of top quality. The restaurant had a buzzing atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely recommend a stay!

We have visited the The Swan several times now - and wanted to give feedback - as this has to be one of the best pub / restaurants in the area We shared Asian seared Tuna as a starter - which was just seared and set on a bed of home made coleslaw For main we ordered the lamb and the 16oz plaice The lamb came with asparagus and new potato's crush with mint - absolutely excellent and cooked perfectly The plaice was massive ! cooked perfectly - and served with cooked prawns. It also came with a side portion of chips and home made tartare sauce. Again an excellent main course Both cooked in their special oven - which gave both a very mild BBQ taste - which just added that extra special flavour Staff / service was very good. This was the first time we had sat in the small room on the left as you enter which was nice, but the open plan dinning on the right side is stunning - so suggest book in advance and request the larger dinning area We will be back and recommend anyone to try it

Monday night friends had given me a voucher for my birthday Ordered a Antipasti (to share) & Scallops starter. Mains were Zarzuela (think how it was pronounced) Seafood risotto basically Seabass on patatas bravas 😋 All of our food was delicious, staff were lovely. One of my best places to eat Highly recommended

Had an evening meal and stayed overnight at this great pub .The evening meal was outstanding very good fish beautifully cooked.Good selection of wines reasonably priced. We stayed overnight in extremely comfortable rooms I slept in one of the most comfortable beds I have encountered. Breakfast the next morning was excellent and cooked to order. I throughly recommended this pub both as a place to eat and to stay overnight can’t wait to return.

Briefly read some reviews on trip advisor, on the way back from a hike, so popped in for lunch on the off chance. Great food, service and ambiance. I had a Cajun prawn dish which was delicious. As a pescatarian, the menu was right up my street. Lunch was reasonable although I can see why many comment on the price of mains. However, you get what you pay for here - and it’s quality!

A birthday/Father’s Day meal with my daughter and our Lab No reservation but was shown the dog friendly tables, staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful My daughter had the Wagu burger (topped with pork) absolutely devoured it. I had the beef brisket Sunday dinner -gorgeous, melt in your mouth Yes a touch pricey ( I wasn’t paying haha) but worth every penny Can’t recommend enough, but best book ahead unless pretty near to opening hours

What a wonderful independent pub and restaurant. So nice to see a completely different menu with totally new an innovative dishes. Excellent knowledgeable and efficient service. Arrive early or book, it’s deservedly very busy.

Lovely warm welcome and drinks delivered quickly. An exciting menu with the emphasis on seafood. We shared coronation crab to start - a generous portion with savoury and sweet flavours - delicious. We both decided to have lobster Thermidor which did not disappoint and we...

Called for a drink but took about 10 minutes before a member of staff acknowledged me at the bar. To be fair this was due to the ignorant locals sat at the bar who made no attempt to let new customers even see what drinks...

Visited the Swan with friends on a busy Saturday evening. Food as ever was delicious but unfortunately the waitress had bit informed the kitchen about allergies from one of our group. This unfortunate person then had to wait 10 minutes for their meal whilst the...

The food, atmosphere and service were very good, but understand that this is first and foremost a fish restaurant..... and that it is not cheap! The rest of the menu is very limited and included no white meat dish, so you may find yourself paying...

Scallops cooked perfectly very tasty. The rest of the lunch was a disaster baby ribs dry , sauce added later fish soup rubbish Lemon sole overcooked and burnt on the underside We didn't stay for coffee ! !

It's rare to find a good seafood restaurant nowadays, so we chose The Swan to try out the bouillabaisse. I have to say it was good, although I found the mussels small and there was some broken shell in my meal. It contained a nice...

Welcomed to the pub and directed to our table. Friendly and helpful staff, beautiful food and a great atmosphere. A must visit if you’re in the area.

Very nice restaurant and pub. Lovely surroundings, good staff service and pleasant welcome from locals when we arrived. Menu is mainly fish and seafood but that suited us, we had three courses each and a couple of bottles of good wine, throughly enjoyed.

We stayed in a lovely room at the Swan Inn for a 42 wedding anniversary, it is set in the most beautiful countryside, we had a fantastic meal on their candlelight and charcoal evening, thank you to everyone, perfect.

What a great restaurant, the fish menu is a fish lovers dream come true and the standard of the dishes is quite unbelievable. The place is immaculate throughout with a warm welcome and very friendly , attentive staff. We had the pleasure of staying in...

Group of 6 friends, 2 local ( me and husband) and 4 from much further afield. Superb Sunday dinner, great quality meat and a really enjoyable experience . Staff are lovely. Will definitely be back!

We booked into one of the newly refurbished rooms and had an evening meal. Room was beautifully decorated, very clean, cosy, and comfortable. Our evening meal was fantastic, my boyfriend had the mussels & zarzuela and I had the fig salad & duck and we...

We had a large family group, eating early in the evening to accommodate our very youngest family member. The greeting was warm and the service throughout was top class, efficient and attentive. We ordered a main and pud and were served promptly but with no...

I was in StevieHK's (previous reviewer) car when it broke down - in fact, as he often reminds me, I was driving. So we visited The Swan somewhat unexpectedly, and in circumstances that weren't great. Without the staff there, and Jane in particular, we'd have...

Fantastic food, scallops were cooked to perfection, trio of curries was really enjoyable and my mum really enjoyed her fish. Staff were a pleasure, will definitely be back.

I had an unexpected stop at the Swan recently when my car suddenly became underpowered with warning messages flashing etc. We made it to the village and pulled into the Swan. The staff, led by a wonderful lady Jane were amazing during our unexpected stay....

Stayed just one night to break long journey home. The room (3) was amazing, beautifully decorated with lovely little touches such as fresh milk in the fridge and a charging point for your electric toothbrush. Dinner was excellent and the breakfast - just as good....

A delightful inn with friendly staff, lovely rooms and an excellent breakfast of locally sourced materials. The bar staff were friendly and engaging and a special mention to Becky who was very attentive and an excellent ambassador.

As per the title. We have visited numerous times and have been pleased by the changing menu. The service has always been good and the food has been of a really good standard. We will certainly return.

Family celebration meal on a Saturday night, so high expectations and The Swan didn't disappoint. Menu remains good and food excellent. Couple of improvement points: the service is relaxed, which is OK, but it verges on slow. Particularly after we'd had desserts and wanted the...

Went in Oct 2021 and found this lovely restaurant. Found food a bit fancy and no specials. Atmosphere OK but we managed to sit near a party where 1 person needed to half stand and shout conversation at every opportunity not conducive to a quiet...

Me and my partner have eaten here previously. The service and atmosphere wasn’t great but we were so impressed with the food that we decided to return. Last time we ate at the Swan I had lamb and my partner had the lemon sole, both...

poor food will not be returning .cold inside with musky smell. staff seemed very nice but not worth the high price.

We really rate The Swan and so were so disappointed by our experience this evening.We qfour arrived for 7.30, were given an excellent table but the 2 girls serving seemed inexperienced and uninterested in doing a good job. We ordered cocktails, waited a long time...

On first appearances externally and internally it is a tad scruffy. The initial welcome was poor but improved in the dining area. The wising staff were great and helpful recommending dishes . I feel the decor between the dining room and other areas very disjointed....

The Swan is a family owned freehouse and has a quite small car park which gets full very quickly as its a very popular pub. If the car park is full there is limited street parking up the hill on the road. The pub is...

Second late "lunch" sitting ....in the restaurant section. Although each table was occupied, attentive service and all were very friendly. Very well recommended sauvignon, by the host and then excellent meals...too full for desserts.

We came as a family group for Mother’s Day, the atmosphere was relaxed but attentive and friendly, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was excellent, very tasty and nicely presented. We had a variety of dishes and no one was disappointed, there was also a...

The turbot was sensational, excellently cooked, beautifully presented, tasted magnificent. Service was attentive, courteous and very friendly.

The food is absolutely amazing - particularly if you like fish. We like the bar area but there is also a more formal restaurant. Great value for money with friendly service. Highly recommend the bouillabaisse.

4 of us all had a fabulous meal, on Saturday evening. The Swan food and service were as they always have been in my experience, outstanding.

Service was excellent. Food piping hot and delicious. Really glad we chose to visit. The seafood is perfect. Thankyou 😊

Having been here for dinner many times it was time to try Sunday Lunch. Just amazing. The starters, main and deserts were delightful. On top of that the lady that served us was helpful and friendly. A brilliant dining experience and great value for what...

My partner and I enjoyed the most delicious 3 course lunch. The overnight roasted meats were superb, vegetable accompaniments too! I should also mention the lovely staff. I think it's fair to say we'll be back. Really, a lovely afternoon, thank you

Absolutely phenomenal food in a traditional English pub. The seafood stew was the heartiest, most satisfying dishes I have had in a while - duly recommended (and don’t spoil the enjoyment with overloading on starters!). Would definitely love to come back to try the rest...

Excellent, staff, superb fresh and well sourced food. Definately recommend, I will be back in a heartbeat, book to avoid disappointment.

Ingle nook fireplace as you enter is a nice warm welcome from the wind outside. They have a lovely conservatory to the rear for dining too. Service was perhaps a little slow, but I found this reassuring as everything was made fresh and the food...

Lovely friendly pub that serves superb food. Staff are really helpful and friendly. Called for lunch. The fish and chips were first class and I envied the wife’s steak sandwich.

We didn't know this pub existed until we chanced upon it at the end of a local walk. The staff were friendly and helpful, the ambiance was cosy, and the food and wine were excellent. The mushroom tagliatelle I had were easily as good as...

We stopped into the Swan Inn after a long walk around Goyt Valley. We had no booking for food but the staff were happy to fit us in with a sheltered table outside. The staff were welcoming, friendly and informative with menu questions. We had...

A welcome return to the Swan after lockdown and the flood which closed the Swan. It has been nicely refurbished, attractive new furniture and the food remains outstanding. The Josper oven gives many of the dishes a nice twist.

Lovely food as expected and the beer was good as well. Lovely sat outside watching the world go by. One word of warning, if your taller than five foot ten beware of the very low door frame when entering or leaving, especially if you have...

Great food, lovely atmosphere and very nice staff. Would highly recommend for any occasion. A special mention to bar manager Toby, who even gave us a lift home when we were let down by our taxi firm. Please pay them a visit.

We always use the swan for a special occasion with it being so good however this visit wasn't the case, we were sat in the pub end and service was quite disappointing. Food was good except I ordered surf and turf and the fillet medallions...

A lovely place. Staff were welcoming and friendly and it was really busy despite it being Friday afternoon. Lovely conservatory to dine in but other diners sat outside which was also a lovely area helped by the sunny weather. Food amazing, not the cheapest place...

The Swan has been on my to-do list for close to 4 years. Finally, I arranged to go for Saturday lunch on what turned out to be a beautifully sunny day. On arrival, we were offered the option of outside seating, but elected to stay...

Fantastic meal at The Swan. Staff were very attentive and as this was only our second meal out Since lockdown we really enjoyed the night. I had the Cod with Chorizo and potatas bravos . Delicious!!! Everyone thought the food was excellent .

We haven't eaten out since the pandemic struck in March 2020 and we have missed The Swan for the atmosphere, friendly owner and amazing food. Although we don't eat there often, it is our go to restaurant for a guaranteed delicious meal. We really appreciate...

Very impressive food: bouillabaisse was amazing, brisket top notch. We were full but just had to try the puddings, and glad we did. Thoughtful, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Comfortable pub atmosphere and easy parking. Location is great in a nice village surrounded by dramatic peak...

Lovely venue, beautiful pub and the food is something else, I had fish and chips, the batter was delicious and the fish so succulent, well worth a visit and I will be going again.

We dined in the restaurant which was festive and pleasant with excellent service. We both had the delicious scottish scallops with celeriac puree followed by the amazingly delicious bouillabaise. If you like a nice pint I'd also recommend the Wincle real ale, and the NZ...

The Swan is a lovely pub nestling on the edge of the Peak District. We booked for lunch and were absolutely delighted - the food is absolutely fabulous with an excellent menu, particularly the fishmonger’s section, service and atmosphere are both superb and we will...

We went to the Swan for our wedding anniversary and managed to squeeze in just before the next lockdown ..... Despite all the bad luck that has been thrown at this restaurant over the last 18 months, constant road closures, two bouts of serious flooding,...

We visited The Swan as a change of plan following the change in Covid rules, so glad we did, the food was amazing, staff really friendly and welcoming, very happy with the Covid precautions in place, felt very safe. Highly recommend the seafood. All the...

This restaurant is simply outstanding in every respect. The menu is second to none, and the service excellent. If ever any business enterprise deserved support, it's this one! Congratulations! David and Judy

The swan is one I would highly recommend to all of you. The toilets were very clean, food was delicious and staff were lovely. The design of the place was really nice and welcoming. However if you like salad cream it is not the place...

We’ve just had lunch at The Swan. So pleased they’re open again after floods and then Covid 19. Standard as good as ever. Very tasty crab starter and then garlic prawns. Also lamb curry combo. We’ll be back

We enjoyed our first meal out since lockdown at the Swan on Saturday evening. It was simply wonderful from start to finish, and not just because our children had phoned in vouchers for us and our next door neighbour had gifted us a bottle of...

A great menu, and so difficult to choose from so we shared .starters smoked haddock gratin and tempura monkfish which we’re delicious, main meal was surf and turf (best cooked steak I’ve had in a very long time)! And a huge bowl full to the...

Our favourite pub to visit as a family, we’ve already been twice since lockdown lifted and pubs reopened. The food is amazing and it feels very safe being in there with the extra precautions. The bouillabaisse is a firm favourite and even if you think you’re full make sure you get dessert after (the Bakewell tart is amazing!)

Wonderful country pub with excellent home made food. We went in after a walk in Lyme Park and thought the atmosphere was lovely. I really like that the children’s portions are just mini portions of the main menu rather than just chicken nuggets and chips. Definitely will visit again.
