This was the first time we’d eaten here and it was almost flawless… our waitress, Katie, was amazing: attentive; chatty; informative; the exact opposite of what we experience from most waitresses of her young age. She was truly a breath of fresh air and her overall personality reflected directly on our impression of The Swan. The other staff wandering by took the time to smile, nod hello and just acknowledge us. It wasn’t needed but it was noticed. Such a rare experience in more or less every other establishment we’ve eaten at. The food was absolutely divine and really great value. They really know how to cook a Sunday roast; the beef was ‘melt in your mouth’ wonderful and that seafood linguine was spectacular. They know how to cook scallops. We sat next to the open fire and the warm glows and gentle heat really added to our cosy autumnal Sunday lunch… Woburn Sands is a beautiful place where us locals really do use our local facilities (use it or lose it) and the competition is high. But you will not be disappointed here. Wonderful staff (especially Katie… she’s destined for a great future…), absolutely delicious food and the cosiest, warmest, friendliest, convivial surrounding, ambiance and atmosphere for miles. I never give a 5/5 review because any establishment might just pull an unexpected rabbit out of the hat so where else can you go… but make no mistake, this place is awesome. AWESOME! Bon Appetite. 👍🏻

Staff were amazingly accommodating especially Tracy when we visited. The cheese burger was great as was the chicken burger but when I asked for an extra topping of chicken on my pizza, it came separately in a mini frying pan. Not a topping is it.

Overall, we had a lovely time, the meal was great, good portions, staff were nice, attentive and friendly. The only hiccup was no broccoli within the side of green veg, which was, however, replaced by other vegetables - and the staff was apologetic when I pointed it out.

Won’t be visiting again in a hurry. Just received a parking ticket in the post for £100! I won’t be paying it either. I’m a Blue Badge holder and I think it’s absolute robbery for a local pub to be a pay and display! Avoid!

We love this local pub and hope the new managers make a success of it. We have eaten here and the food was nice pub grub but we will try the roast as they are getting great reviews. Our only criticism is that since the pub has been refurbished it really lacks warmth and ambience. The lighting is very bright and no pictures on the walls or lamps - it is no longer a cosy place you would sit for hours. Before they opened they had lovely hanging baskets too but not sure what happened to them.

As always good, food and coffee is excellent. When i was going to London every day, they wore the place to go for me, always fresh and never disappoint me with coffee.

I have watched this place get progressively worse over the years. I "used to" buy a large amount of selection boxes for friends and families but now take my custom elsewhere. First of all they seem to employ obnoxious, rude and unhygienic staff with Napoleon complexes as a standard. Second, The place is getting progressively dirtier to the point I have had hair in my selection box and I am sure I saw something verminous scuttle under a table on one visit. Thirdly, The whole covid thing gave everyone a chance to be scared of cash. Personally i like cash and have never been scammed on my cards... because i use cash. Now all the restrictions are lifted. One of the staff members loudly and arrogantly refused my legal tender as i attempted to buy a selection box (is that even legal?) and seemed very pleased not to take my money. I have never seen a business model that doesn't want to take money? But I guess they can have their donut and eat it.

Been to this Costa a few times and usually staff are very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately today (24/11/24) whoever the dark haired girl with an Eastern European type accent was, who was making the coffees around 12pm, completely spoiled our visit. Not only did she get our order wrong, she was rude, dismissive and was heard snapping at her colleagues and complaining that she’d ‘not had any sleep and was not in the mood’. The other workers appeared to be treading on eggshells around her. I hope the manager sees this and has a word with her. To the poor girl on the till taking orders - you did a great job despite almost losing your head when you were trying to work as a team and make sure our order was right.
