The Swan in Wiltshire

Went for Sunday lunch today, slight hiccup with our table through no fault of the staff. Delicious roast and great service. Visited after doing a walk from the Windmill. Cosy country pub.

The Swan as maintained it quality since my last review. It's pricing is still mid range but the quality still as good. On thing to note is it's a dog friendly place which I have no problem with but it's worth noting as some do.

Not necessarily what I would call a gastropub but a good place with nice people and honest fare. Worth going out of your way for

Great pub for food and atmosphere. Situated on a good circular walk, walk a few miles and eat some food food. Dog friendly as well.

This is fairly local to us and we decided to have an early evening birthday dinner. Even at 6 on a Monday it was pleasantly busy creating a nice atmosphere. Service was prompt and friendly and there was a good range of real ales on offer including 3 kegs of guest beers. Food choice was exceptional to the point of making it hard to decide which of several options to choose. When it arrived the food was extremely good and well presented. All in all a very good experience.

Didn't eat there, but it looked good, will try it soon.

What an amazing meal we had for my partners birthday 🎉🎂 lovely staff and very yummy food 😋

Fabulous pub, with delicious food and friendly staff. Great for family get together and dog friendly.

Delicious meal in very friendly environment 🥰

Proper country pub with great atmosphere and lovely home cooked food

Amazing village pub with amazing food. Friendly atmosphere that allow dogs in.

Most main courses were in the GBP 14-16 range. The portions were generous, the cooking and presentation excellent and the service efficient and friendly. This charming village pub was perfect for a long lunch on a rainy Sunday.

Such a wonderful pub experience. The real standout were the staff. Every staff person we interacted with on multiple visits were so kind and genuine. Thank you so much! The spaniel we were looking after also had a great time with the ample water bowls and laid back atmosphere.

We traveled up from the Isle of Wight to here on motorcycles for Sunday roast and boy it didn’t disappoint the food was first class and staff did everything to make us feel welcome from the second we came through door . Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area will definitely be in for another visit the next time we are in the area.

Lovely food. This is our second visit and it certainly won't be the last.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Although the building is relatively modern this pub is full of character and is set in a beautiful village.

Great country pub. Lovely lively atmosphere and the food was great. A good venue for an impromptu dinner. The wine selection was also more than you would expect in a rural pub. So, been back more than a few times and still a great spot. Burger is spot on and sweet potato fries great. If in the area you should pop in. Still great and looking forward to spending some winter evenings in front of there fire!

Lovely pub, off the beaten track, in a quiet location. Dined here on a Sunday evening limited menu but still plenty to choose from. Had the goats cheese pizza 10 inch with chips. Wife had Scampi basket meal. Cooked fresh and served up hot. Very tasty. Apple crumble with custard for dessert. Delightful. Nice freshing Cornish lager. Certainly would dine here again.

had the pate but it was off. the chicken in the salad is recycled and dry the burgers are the best bet

Had a very splendid meal here on Monday evening, expecting it to be quiet but the place was heaving. We stayed overnight in the car park in our motorhome (Britstops) it was very quiet. Certainly a place to travel to for a good meal. If you're going to the Beam engines check there actually open! The windmill up the road is with a look too.

We visit here regularly, it’s one of a very few proper village pubs left. Always good service, food and company. I feel lucky we can enjoy this on our doorstep.

Very friendly pub but do remember to book if you want food as it is very popular! A very good range of Real Ales from local breweries and the food was very good as well!

Had a salad that cost £15 It consisted of salad leaves and a few strands of carrot and the smallest pieces of peppers I've ever seen. Might be a nice country pub in the posh area if Marlborough. But it's certainly not value for money. I'm still hungry 😡

Lovely pub serving delicious food! Good menu with seasonal choices. Service friendly. Would highly recommend the ham as it was proper ham, cooked to perfection!

On a very wet evening with a crowded bar, we were welcomed in, found a table (the only one not already reserved) and served absolutely top end pub food. I love a good pie and The Swan's pies are at the very high end of the market. The vegetarian food is also really good, lots of choice, and the beer is well kept. Shout out for the lovely staff who didn't seem to mind our boots and soaking clothes despite all the other customers.

A delightful country Pub. We had a family reunion lunch for 9 on a Wednesday. We booked in advance & asked for soup to be provided for a member of our party unable to swallow. No problem. The staff were lovely and extremely helpful. Food excellent. Best of all, DOGS ALLOWED!

Visited a couple of months ago, Then visited last week. The food has gone down hill extremely fast. Can only think you have employed new chefs. Been put off. Maybe try again next year

Really lovely pub, staff were very nice, & the food was so tasty. That gravy... 👌 Definitely worth a visit!

Wonderfully airy and bright pub despite its age. Well decorated. Delicious beer, food and attentive staff.

Brilliant caring staff made our walking group very welcome. We enjoyed a great menu and excellent beers.

First time to the Swan on a very busy hot day.lots of selection on food and drink.

One of the best pubs in the area for food.

We stopped at the Swan for a light lunch and I enjoyed my Venison Burger and my associate his Camembert and fries. With drinks and coffee the cost was reasonable at £42. Service was friendly.

Dinner with friends. Great food (limited menu on Sunday night, but included veggie and vegan). Excellent, attentive service. Highly recommended, book in advance)

Delicious food! Lovely pub. Best in the area for everything!

Lovely cosy pub. Delicious venison burger and chips (ham, eggs and chips more standard). Great service and nice atmosphere. Small though, so likely need to book for weekends and high season.

A lovely little pub in a delightful location Great Sunday lunch and some wonderful local ales - highly recommended

Absolutely fantastic food traditional and specials. excellent service would highly recommend

A lovely little country pub. Great food, great drinks and great atmosphere. Dogs are welcome as well!

These days you have to be a bit special to survive as a village pub off the beaten track. The Swan fits the bill. Staff went above and beyond to welcome my walkers' group (muddy boots, wet dogs and all). Service is friendly and attentive, and lunchtime food is well above average. The bonus is an interesting selection of real ales. Set in a quiet and levely village, this place is worth a detour - or build it into a Wessex Downs/Kennet and Avon canal walk as we did.

Excellent quality Sunday lunch, very reasonable price and great service. The setting was also perfect. Many thanks

Friendly service and good food. Sticky toffee pudding was good as were the fish and chips so we enjoyed our lunch very much. Can be pretty busy so you should consider booking

Perfect village pub, just wish it was in my village.!. Lovely staff, good food, excellent drink selection, obviously well supported by Locals, with an easy atmosphere.

Friday lunch after a good walk. Excellent service, very good liver and bacon, nice ambience. Special positive marks for the fantastic draught cider from Hungerford Park. We’d go again.

We had a lovely time at the Swan. Great food and good atmosphere. Will be back and would recommend.

I had never been before. My sister recommended it. I will be going back later this month

Called in with the dog and had a Sunday roast, very tasty would recommend 👌

Lovely place and worth the trip out

There is an art to getting a pub 'right' and this is one that really does. We go infrequently living some miles away but it is always a joy to go to. It strikes that fine balance of being cosy and not artifically polished like so many pubs feel the need to do. Beer in barrels on the back shelf and an excellent menu. It's a gem with lovely staff.

Most amazing Game pie, was the best I’d ever had, packed with delicious tender game

Our fourth visit, meeting up with friends from Scotland. Food as ever delicious and generous servings. Good selection for everyone. A lovely fire making it warm and cosy on a wet grey winters day. Quiet with no blaring music. Will be returning next year!

What a gorgeous, welcoming pub with amazing food. Even a take away menu which was absolutely delicious! Cannot recommend enough!!💕

Fab lunch with friends today. Friendly staff and great service. There were 9 of us and we had a selection of main courses and puds from the main Menu.

Fantastic pub, great for kids, lovely atmosphere, delicious food and of course superb service

I've had three meals here in last few weeks. First Excellent, second bad, third - OK but not good enough to bring me back. I think there is a practice of serving precooked food, reheated, as my last two were both overcooked and dry, which would not have been possible in the time we waited. One good thing with the food was the accompanying vegetables, but the liver and bacon were both cooked to a crisp, and one tiny slice of overcooked bacon is not enough. It was a great pity as the staff and ambience there are first class.

Went for a Sunday roast after a long walk and was a very nice meal. However, the service was not good. We had to wait over 15 minutes before asking if we could order our drinks. The waiters and waitresses could clearly see that we were waiting. Once finished I asked the waiter for the bill and this did not come, so after again around 15 minutes I had to go to the bar to pay. They need to improve their table service, which is a shame, as the food was very nice.

Friendly pub, folk singers, great menu and service

Came here for lunch as we were staying a few miles down the road. Last time we stayed nearby back in April we came here for a sun roast and it was spectacular then. Turned up on Tuesday just to see if they had room for us, surprisingly it was busy on a random tues in oct!!! However staff were lovely and managed to get us a seat on a table in the bar area. Both had lasagna which was the nicest lasagna I’ve ever had out in a pub. The selection of beers they had on was really good and I noticed the barrels had aspirators on as well, so not only did they have a great selection of cask beer it was also in top condition. Both experiences here were great. The staff are really attentive and friendly. Basically it’s what every village pub should strive to be like. 11/10.

Excellent food and service. Recommend that you book as it is very popular

We are here after a lovely walk around Savernake Forest - a good half way point for our family to meet for dads birthday. Great range of local brewery’s on tap, really yummy food, lovely service from George and the candle in the pudd was a lovely touch. Thank you!

Really beautiful country pub. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Great tasting food and a good selection of drinks, some local.

What a find! The Swan - a pub with oodles of character, amazing food, but best of all, gorgeous staff! Bill and his young and enthusiastic Team made us feel so welcome - when the boss makes time to chat with you each time you visit (every day during our stay!), and when you order a take away and the young chef brings it to your door with a lovely smile, you know you've found somewhere special! The Sunday roast was absolutely out of this world, as was all the food, but when your family rates the roast at the local pub better than the one they get at home (and you know you cook a mean roast yourself!) that's telling! Thank you for making us feel so welcome and for feeding us so well - we will most definitely be back, if only for the best sticky toffee pudding we've ever had! The Crazy Crew from Jersey! x

Stumbled across The Swan by accident when out for a bike ride and had forgotten our drink bottles. Hadn't been planning on eating out but as a Coeliac I'm always looking at menus to see if they have gluten free options. The Swan has a brilliant variety of GF dishes and as soon as I spoke to some staff members it was clear they understood allergies. So we had lunch there. Very reasonable, very tasty and lovely staff. Other pubs should aspire to be like The Swan!

fantastic pub, lovely food, friendly attentive staff. On holiday in the area with family, six in all, ate here every day for the full week, 42 meals in all, and not one complaint from any of us. everything was first class, thank you!

Lovely pub in a lovely village. Not cheap but good value

What a brilliant place. Sat outside in the shade & ate lovely lunch. Other people had Sunday road & it looked amazing!! Gluten free options comprehensive, can't fault it

Lovely meal, really enjoyed steak and burger which was huge ! Great service and so pleased to find this lovely pub, we will be back soon. Thankyou.

Meals for 6 people - order taken and food served within 25 minutes on a busy night. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Dog Friendly pub

Great pub, good beer nice food, friendly staff. What more could you ask!

Wonderfully atmospheric gastropub in a beautiful village. Food was tasty & served promptly. Some decent beers to go with it

Wonderful food, drink and friendly staff. Lots of gluten free options.

We stopped by on the off chance when on a walk for a sunday roast. Luckily there was one table for 2 left. There was so much to choose on the menu, we decided to go for a roast each. Delicious and the portion sizes are large. I had no room for a pudding, my partner did he enjoyed apple crumble and custard. The food was all cooked perfectly. The serving staff were all so friendly. What a great pub.

Sunday Lunch After a mix up with our booking where the young lady admitted she had cancelled it accidentally we were finally accommodated. We all had starters, whitebait and two of us had the potato skins which were rather too well done and had a slight bitter taste as a result. The mains were ok, roast chicken, pie & veg and smoked salmon salad. Not as good as our first visit a few weeks previously. We will visit again though as our previous visit had been so good.

Called to ask if kitchen was open walked all the way there and they where shut but says open till 11 and I was told kitchen open till 5:30

Excellent Sunday Roast! Delicious.

What a gem of a pub this is! Booked a Sunday lunch ahead of travelling down from the midlands for a holiday and what a great start it was. The food was fabulous and the staff were all so attentive and friendly even when clearly extremely busy. Lovely young man with shoulder length dark hair served us. Such an asset to the pub! Booked again for our final night and once again the food was fabulous. Would highly recommend

Great food, great service, and great ales!

Absolutely fabulous Sunday lunch - best we've had in a long time.

We have been trying to get here for a long time & finally we did and we certainly were not disappointed! The best pub meal we have had around here for absolutely ages! Lovely atmosphere in the pub with a mixture of diners & local drinkers, real ales on the barrel….hubby particularly liked the ‘Hairy Hooker’! 😂 Food was absolutely amazing & we can’t recommend it enough. Staff friendly & service was good despite being a busy evening for food service. Well done The Swan at Wilton, keep doing what you are doing…..we will be back soon!

Fantastic wait staff, great food, super accommodating.. Country living at its best. If you are ever in this area of the United Kingdom - visit and enjoy THE SWAN INN. Four couples, three terrific meals. Three great experiences.

Excellent service, large choice on menu and a specials board, very tasty food. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Great menu, l found it difficult to choose a lunch, l liked the all the choices .

What a great pub this is. A fine selection of ales and cider. Happy cheerful staff who are very attentive. We didn't eat but the food looked very good. So we shall return and sample the menu.

Lovely village pub with great surrounding walks across fields and by the canal - also a windmill nearby. Staff friendly and excellent food. I had the beefburger, fries and salad garnish my husband had the steak and ale pie, mash with fresh veg carrots and broccoli all piping hot.

Really friendly and helpful staff, a couple of nice beer gardens, excellent food with a great menu selection, and a number of good ales at reasonable prices. well worth a visit.

A great place for a proper Sunday roast (one of the best) including a vegan option. Very good gravity-fed guest ales from the cask as well as regular beers. Very welcoming.

Meet up here for a mini college reunion lunch. Friendly staff, great food and atmosphere. The staff were happy for us to sit and chat away for almost 3 hours! A bonus was that it is dog friendly and in a beautiful village with lovely walks.

Classic village pub. Good choice of local beers.

First time at this pub and a very nice experience. Good selection of starters, mains, sides, puddings and Sunday roast. All of them go from classic to fish, vegetarian or vegan. Menu for children available. Nice drinks selection. The dishes are tasty , well prepared and mouth watering. The environment is really elegant and enjoyable. The waiters are kind and available. Average prices. It's a yes

Popped in, Easter Sunday, grabbed an outside table, few small dishes off the menu, couple of drinks, perfect. Good service today from the team. Thank you.

Amazingly busy on a Monday afternoon, but great food, service and a welcoming atmosphere.

Good range of dishes & real ales at sensible prices. Nice atmosphere & fast service - especially given that we were a party of 20 ! Nice garden in summer, too.

Definitely the best pub I’ve found. Friendly and helpful staff, fantastic food and superb location. Always worth a visit whenever in the area. Also suitable for young kids.

Really nice looking old pub. Interior clean and well set out. Rustic but smart vibe. Lots of meal choices and specials board to tempt you. Good beer . Hairy hooker or Sheepdip ale. Value for money mains.

Food was good, service was fast staff were pleasant and attentive. Beautiful traditional pub.

Out walking and went in for a coffee to get out of the rain. Excellent coffee and friendly staff. It carried on raining so we decided to stop for lunch. Two had “Bill’s” pies which were great, one had the piri piri half chicken and...

Happened across this pub on a walk from Great Bedwyn. Despite it being Mothers day Sunday, they found us a table for lunch. The roasts (beef and lamb) were both very good, and reasonably priced. We're planning on returning soon.

This place has great fish and chips and good collection of drinks.

Friendly and cosy, superb food at very reasonable prices. Dog friendly too!

Really nice place with a warm welcome and banter with the locals. Food was good and a genuinely nice place to visit. Worth the visit.
