The Swan in Uttlesford

Very disappointed!! We had a family meal booked here in November when we managed to get in contact with the pub (they never answer email's or the phone) After hearing the Chef had left. We was told that there was nothing they could do and wasn't anything to do with them! even though that it was a member of staff that took the booking and didn't even think about letting us know that they was no longer doing food!. Thankfully a local from the village has put us in contact with the chef and we have rearranged our family meal with him at a different location. Very poor management and bad experience!!

We attended the beer festival a few months back and really enjoyed the selection of beers and cider plus the Road House BBQ the chef and his waitress where more than helpful but... recently we tried to book a table at the Swan for dinner and was told unfortunately the chef had all of a sudden left? We found this very confusing as they was advertising things on Facebook. After attending a different venue we was informed why the chef had left and we are completely mortified! The owners of this pub really need to think before they act! The chef of the Road House had really made his mark with good food! We hope he starts up somewhere again soon! As we will not be returning to the swan

Lovely staff and lovely customers. They helped me order a taxi after I had some issues with transport and served some lovely drinks while I waited. Best wishes, Alex the magician x

Had a lovely meal here on Sunday, when we enquired about a table we were told they stopped serving food at 16:30 but they cooked a roast for us specially for 18:30. Lovely pub with great beers, brilliant atmosphere and super friendly, can’t recommend enough!!

Excellent quality of food, if you can wait around for long enough through the appalling service. The chef is superb, but that matters little if they cannot sort the front of house out. Walked out today having waited over 45 minutes for dessert, shame as people will miss out on a really decent Sunday roast burger if this is not addressed.

We went to The Swan at Great Easton, and enjoyed a lovely evening. It is worth going to The Swan, as you will have a wonderful time there.

Went in at roughly 19:00 to see an empty restaurant. I walked into the main pub and the three tables had odd people sat on them. The locals looked at me and my son but no acknowledgment nor from the staff. Thought it was very small and full in the bar but yet such a big building. We went round the front to find on the right side people playing darts but only one table and seats filled. We looked at the other pub side again but at no point was food drink anything mentioned by staff. Felt really unwelcomed and that it is a local pub for local people only. Thankfully got food back at our accommodation and had some cider with us but shame as would have been nice to have drinks and pudding in the local.

My daughter and I had a fabulous Cheese Burger from the new Road House menu on Friday. We both said it was the best burger we've ever had! Dare I say it.. but it was even better than mine! 😮 Well done guys.. we will definitely be recommending you to friends 👍

No Wi-Fi no food and very unfriendly to Blue Badge holders and lackadaisical, bad and wholly disinterested “service”. Avoid.

Lovely roast dinner here! Would definitely recommend 😍

Amazing food and welcoming service. Certainly recommend the Sunday roast

Helpful staff large selection of drinks.

It’s nice place to have Morris Dancing there

Lovely traditional pub. Nice staff..dog freindly with large garden. Food menu small but lovely

This place is a little gem. There was 7 of us and all the meals was perfect. Service was excellent and friendly. Would recommend this place.

Love it here. Recently had a big face-lift, new management and staff. Everyone is really nice. Loads of drinks to choose from. Definitely worth a visit. (No food yet)

After getting a little lost I came across this little gem. Ladies were extremely helpful and on the plus side had a delicious Latte and homemade Bakewell slice. Thankyou

Nice clean place. Quite quite when I was there but friendly staff

Lovely country pub with great selection of all alcoholic drinks.

Nice decoration, lovely bar staff and cosy with a real fire.

Wow fantastic staff ..could not do enough for our son who stayed. Such a wonderful and genuine approach to everyone 6 stars if i could . They went above and beyond to help out where they could . Would highly recommend My son who is a vegetarian said the food was delicious 6 stars

Lovely Xmas meal. All home cooked & even the truffles.

Fabulous. Beautiful location, friendly staff, good food and a fantastic night's entertainment. What better way to spend a Saturday night

Lovely village pub with great atmosphere and excellent food. Rooms are extremely characterful.

Was bitten twice by something when i stayed here, couldnt see any bedbugs or signs of them. It is a traditional building, awkward shower room, to be expected i guess. I didnt choose to book here. Breakfast was lovely.

We were staying in a local AirB&B (The Roundhouse) and were recommended the pub by our hostess. We were late arriving and hungry, and the Swan was just what we were looking for; warm, friendly, relaxed and with really outstanding, delicious food. We had a platter of starters, the mushrooms in white wine and cheese with dipping breads, the bacon and stilton salad and the Goats Cheese with homemade chutney, along with chips. Food came tremendously quickly and was really tasty. Service was helpful and friendly, prices extremely reasonable. There is also a pool table, lovely deep sofas and real fires to enjoy. A great location, I wish we lived closer!

Old world country pub well looked after with a good lunch and a drink. However could do with some serious cash spent on the building inside and out. But warm and cosy

The Swan is a pleasant place, but a little out of the beaten path.Not much to see there, as the taxi that drove me there drove though very narrow roads bordered by green pastures. It is only 5,5 mile from Stansted airport, but no bus goes there. If I had an auto, I would not mind staying there again.

Friendly greeting in a picturesque pub with lovely tasty meals. A hidden gem with car parking to the rear. Delightful lunch with friends.

Just perfect place with own character. Nice room with bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Enough space for two. Quiet area. Reasonable price. Very nice and friendly host. Just perfect.

Lovely homely atmosphere (log burners, etc) and very good food at good prices.

Nice pub with good beer food a little limited but good.

Stayed with friends on New Years Eve. The place was extremely busy but all our food was cooked to perfection. They even catered for 1 friend who requested something not on the menu. The staff especially Abbie couldn't be more attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Decided to have a journey out for a Saturday lunch having passed the pub on one of my motorcycle trips. Good simple welcoming local. It too much on the menu- usually a good sign of freshly cooked scoff. We had Ham Egg and Chips- a simple meal but you’d be surprised how many pubs can get it wrong....no complaints here- good ingredients, well cooked. Mrs Felltiger had the Special of Pork Belly with crackling, apple mash and veg. Mrs F is rather critical when it comes to food....this passed with again good ingredients and “perfectly cooked”. Very good value prices and a great pint of Hobgoblin. They even have a piano that you can play if you,re so inclined... We will return

Very good starter served quickly and piping hot. The main of locally produced sausages and mustard mash with onion gravy was delicious but for a 17 stone contractor a liitle on the small side lol.

Great little village pub, great food, friendly staff, nice beer garden! Will definitely visit again

The room was immaculate, the staff were friendly and showed me the room and informed me about taxis in the morning, offered me breakfast etc. They were top tier. I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone that wants a nice, calm stay in a small cozy village, or if you just want to stay over the night to go to the airport.

Great food! We came as a family of four and were welcomed and settled at our table very quickly. The food didn't take very long to arrive either. I had a pan fried steak with sautéed mushrooms that were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection - highly recommended! My 14-year-old said that the home-made chips were probably the nicest chips she'd ever tasted (high praise from a teenager who is somewhat of a connoisseur of chips!). We aren't in the area very often but when we are we will definitely return to the Swan for a meal. Thank you for an excellent service in very pleasant surroundings.

This pub used to be fairly expensive, but when we went for lunch this week the Sunday menu was changed. As we have not visited this pub for some time, we were surprised by the change. All main courses were £9-50,and for Sunday lunch there was no beef. We ordered Lamb, and then were told that there was only one portion left. I had Pork belly.Food was o.k. For derert we ordered profiteroles. Again only one left.Had to choose alternative.NB we arrived early. No wine list.had to show me the bottles. Meal was reasonable and for the cost verry acceptable.

Was great. Guy running the place very helpful and pleasant. Pub itself was interesting period property which was nice. Bed comfortable and despite not being advertised wifi was free and available in my room. Its a bit noisy until 11ish being a pub so maybe not suitable for early kids bedtime. No mobile signal in the area but obviously not pubs fault. Wifi was a saver. Would recommend this hotel/pub

A local to us....corporate style pub run by Green King...the food is good solid scoff but somewhat bland...the menu changes every so often...we have never eaten bad here but its not food as 'Mother makes'...the staff are all old retainers and know their stuff...can get busy at weekend lunch times so best reserve...we go once a month so that's a recommendation enough i think.....be good to see some 'indy' beers, maybe some Adams !!

I have now visited David and Karen at The Swan Inn twice this year and on both occasions have enjoyed really good food at very reasonable prices indeed. To be well served twice when leading a largish (18 people) group is something they should both take pride in. When arriving en masse they will ask you to pre-order at least some hours before. This is not difficult when their current menu can be so easily emailed across to you. Well worth doing so that everyone can enjoy their particular choice freshly cooked. Well done Team Swan - we shall be back.
