The Swan in Northumberland

Stayed good Friday overnight in the carpark. Views amazing and it was an extremely quite night. Ate in pub and service from staff was great, very friendly, especially the service from callam. Food was good and didn't wait very long, a little pricey though but I suppose it's with inflation.

Fantastic service and fantastic food, as per every time we visit here! Cathryn, Meg and Callum were absolutely faultless and are a credit to this pub! Can’t wait for many more visits

Spot on as always. No matter the occasion, Janet always delivers exceptional service. Shout out to Kim & the rest of the team too. A perfect place for a bite to eat in the countryside.

Good country style pub. Good service from helpfull staff. Good food well served

Average food. Nothing special. Quite expensive for the actual quality of the food.

Great place for food, pints and views. If you have the pleasure of being served by Kim and Janet then your quids in. If you don’t download the app for free rewards Janet will soon remind you

Beautiful place, delicious food and excellent service.

Food was amazing cooked by holly!😍

Absolutely amazing! We found this restaurant online whilst on a stay in the area. The service was some of the best I have received, and the food was fantastic. I ordered the ribeye steak and this was cooked to perfection. All my family had empty plates… a rare sight when eating out with fussy children. I wish I lived closer to this establishment because I would certainly visit more frequently. Thank you.

Popped in after a family do for some food, very attentive service from Janet & Kim, lovely food especially the pie of the day, fish and chips & the fish finger sandwich

Lovely steak done to perfection. Great service. We even stayed for the quiz

Traveling from the US. The food is great and the staff are very friendly

Lovely brownie made by chef holly and swift, friendly service by Janet

Steak and ale pie needs to be re named carrot and ale pie. 2 piece of steak doesn’t constitute a steak pie. Service not the best, order taken promptly then a 50 min wait for starters. When asked how long we were told 5 to 10 mins by a young lad whilst his colleague stood behind with the food. Little no communication or as I suspect he never asked the question and just thought I’ll pacify and give my own answer. There never was going to be any confrontation so all he had to do was ask the question. The rest of the party enjoyed their food just the pie to improve !

The food was excellent with good service

We had family visit us. We decided to give the Swan a try for the first time. What can I say. The food was exceptional everything was cooked to perfection. The fish and triple cooked chips were unbelievable. The first fish I've ever had that was almost grease free. We will definitely be returning and I would highly recommend giving the Swan a try, you won't be disappointed.

Have been here quite a few times, always manage to get booked in. staff friendly. There are two areas, restaurant or bar(dog friendly). They have board games to play, dog beds, water and treats available. Food is good, but expensive for pub food. More recently for main I had steak and ale pie of the day, for some reason it came with chips and mash but no gravy, my partner had the hunters chicken schnitzel which was full of flavour. For dessert my partner had lemon tart which was so so tasty, I had the banoffee choux bun, wasn’t overly impressed, the filling reminded me of when use to get banana flavoured amoxicillin as a kid haha, overall we have had nice experiences here and not every meal is for all. Will go back.

Came here for Sunday dinner with my parents. Lovely location off the A69. Staff were attentive and polite and sat us in a quiet place away from the sports screen. Dinner was delicious, we ordered children's portions instead of adult size as these were big enough. Would recommend.

Took our Aunt here for an 80th B'day lunch...lovely, friendly welcome from Cathryn, who just looked after us throughout whole meal. The food was great, our table in the Forge was wonderful...we will certainly be returning!! Highly recommended!!

Amazing as always! Janet and Kim were extra lovely, funny and very accommodating 😍

Always one of our favourites! Been here lots of times before, and will be here many more times! Janet and Kim lovely as always, very accommodating, funny and friendly. Such a lovely place to be 😍

Excellent menu - the food was delicious 😋 Kathryn, grace and callum were brilliant hosts

Excellent menu - the food was delicious 😋 Kathryn, grace and callum were brilliant hosts. Plenty of choice on the food menu and drinks menu

What a great find. Great pub great food and great staff. Thanks to Callum, Catherine and Matthew for their hospitality. Fantastic place. Didn't need to book but may have to at busy times. What a gem of a place. Thanks guys x

It's a really nice peaceful place for a romantic or family or official get together. The staff are warm and efficient.

This place is a diamond. Amazing food and service, warm and friendly Cathryn and Matthew were very attentive to our every need. The Best pie I have ever had. Great portions, will definitely be back. Thankyou so much

We arrived very hungry from walking on Hadrian’s wall. We had excellent service, from Janet and Kim in particular, and we enjoyed the food. The coffee was particularly tasty, accompanied by exquisite flapjack. A visit not to be missed.

Served today by Meg Ryan and Grace Made to feel very welcome such a lovely bunch thanks guys food was delicious

Fantastic meal, very good service. Chloe was very attentive

This is our favourite place to go. A beautiful, friendly place. The food is always first class and the service is brilliant!

Great service from Chloe, food was lovely. Definitely recommend!

What a lovely little find. Called in for lunch today and would highly recommend. Callum, the manager was very friendly and welcoming and excellent service off Megs. The menu has a good selection and lunch was delicious (even managed to squeeze in a pudding). I will definitely be returning especially in the summer to enjoy the marvellous views from the outside seating area at the back.

Friendly welcome from Kim, lovely pizza cooked by Holly.

Had an enjoyable Saturday lunch. Would like to thank our server Sam who was attentive and provided helpful service. We will be back 👍

Came to celebrate husbands 70th birthday staff were amazing

Great service, we were celebrating at 70th Birthday and everyone had a great time!

A lovely pub in a fab location with great views. Food is always nice, we come every Monday for the pub quiz! Service from Chloe is always top notch too.

Great pub and lovely food. Staff are always helpful and friendly, a special shout out to Chloe!

Lovely Sunday lunch with friends. Brilliant service by Megan, Ryan and Callum.. I'll be back very soon

Can’t fault the food, staff or service! Hats off to Megan, Ryan and Callum

Lovely staff, lovely atmosphere. Shame about dogs not being allowed everywhere! Naomi lovely

Staff are amazing, so lovely and friendly and very accommodating. Food was lovely, decent portions.

Lovely and friendly service. Food was very tasty and good atmosphere . 1st time visit but will definitely go back again!

The Sunday dinner that we had was absolutely stupendous. The roasted vegetables were done to perfection. Megan, Ryan and Callum were excellent servers for us today. I would absolutely recommend this for anyone looking for a nice afternoon out.

Lovely meal with great service from Meg, Callum and Ryan! Thank you!

Thank you to Megan, Ryan and Callum for excellent service

All good yet again especially service from Kim and Janet 👍

Popped in for lunch Wednesday afternoon. Fantastic! Service couldn’t have been friendly. Kim and Janet looked after us so well! Food lovely

My favourite place, had another get together tonight , food great as normal Kim and Janet in tonight always friendly and welcoming

Went for Christmas dinner here. The service was fantastic. Even small.goody bags for the kids. The food was nice although having chose the Venison it came over cooked and very dry. The rest however was beautiful.

Boxing day for large family party

Great pub, nice atmosphere, loved the fireplace and staff were friendly. Definitely recommend this hidden gem, off the A69.

We had Christmas day lunch this year, there was 3 of us and we really enjoyed our day, the atmosphere was fab and very festive, staff were really nice and very attentive especially our waitress Meg, food was really nice and they accommodated 2 vegetarians that asked for something not on the main menu which was really appreciated, the 1 meat eater enjoyed his although did say the beef wellington was slightly over cooked however still ate it and enjoyed it, portion sizes were huge and really good value for money, would definitely recommend and return.

Food was impeccable as always service tremendous too and full value for money will most certainly be back soon

Great food and service. Cathryn and Callum were excellent, very friendly and efficient. Looking forward to many more visits here.

Fantastic food for our Christmas Day out and service was great from Janet who was very friendly and helpful, will definitely return x

Firstly the car park overlooks part of the Tyne Valley, which in winter looks moody. The pub was warm and the staff were friendly and helpful. I got the king prawns and chorizo and triple cooked chips. My friend got the mushrooms with garlic and triple cooked chips. Salty, spicy chorizo went well with the prawns, bread and chips. We both really enjoyed the triple cooked chips. My only problem with the place is one customer was with friends and constantly and loudly 'F' this and 'F' that. It made the pub seem rough. We questioned whether the swearing man was angry. The locals may be used to it, but as a visitor it can be uncomfortable.

We came here while on holiday from California and I must say that Callum, Grace, Cathryn & Emily were all incredible. They made our dinner very memorable and enjoyable. Service was above & beyond our expectations.

We had the enjoyment of dining there as a party of 16. We found the service exemplary. A special attention was paid to the children and their needs, which left us to enjoy our meal as adults and of course could not have asked for finer food or atmosphere.

The Swan used to be such a lovely place to go to for food, we haven’t been for a while but we decided to go tonight as we’ve just purchased a house nearby and this would be our local. Unfortunately after tonight we won’t be returning. They’ve changed their children’s menu, the children now receive 4 small slices of pizza instead of a pizza, chips and side. The size of the pizza is absolutely mental, we had to ask for extra chips and the price is ridiculous. So sad as it used to be so lovely!

Excellent service all round. Staff pleasant, friendly and helpful

Great Kimberley very helpful person

Visited the swan today and was greeted with 2 big happy smiling faces, Janet & Kimberley were brilliant and sorted me with food and drinks will definitely be back

Good pint.. bit expensive... nice pub in the village

This is the go-to local that my friends and I regularly meet up at for dinner and a catch up. The staff are really friendly and helpful (thank you Grace, Cathryn and Matthew for last Saturday night 😁) Food is delicious and the place has a lovely atmosphere.

Great food lovely atmosphere and the staff are fantastic! Ryan and grace are especially attentive 10/10

Another delicious family meal, we all opted for different mains and all thought they were excellent. Although my daughter was a little upset to only get 2 onion rings with her burger! Ryan our server was polite and efficient. We will be back.

Lovely meal with lovely staff. Very friendly

Amazing food...our server Jennie was wonderful Excellent customer service

This pub serves largely microwaved “ready meals” in my view. They served us fish cakes that had no fish and looked like supermarket cheapest options. My chicken curry was a curry sauce with a piece of chicken added on top. It’s not inedible but it’s not good and as for other reviews claiming it’s “fantastic” food I find totally unbelievable.

Very warm welcome and friendly service with a bit of banter. Perfect. Pub decorated nicely for Halloween and a good selection of beers as well as a decent cider 🌞 (Can’t always get a nice cider so this was greatly appreciated!) We booked a table for dinner and were allowed to stay in our campervan overnight in their car park. The food was delicious and our server (Sam) was very attentive and friendly. We then stayed for the regular Monday night quiz. We were terrible at it (ha ha!) but it was really good fun with plenty of local banter going on. Would highly recommend!

Popped in for Sunday lunch with my family, we all thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. A big thank you to our sever Ryan! who made us all feel welcomed and was prompt with service. We all have said we will definitely be back.

The Swan is a lovely place for Sunday Lunch, very warm welcome form friendly staff, especially our servers Ryan and Callum. Generous portions and Roast Beef was very very good, as were the starters and desserts. Will definitely be back.

Popped in for Sunday lunch prior to pumpkin picking! Staff were friendly and welcoming, especially our sever Ryan! I opted for the trio of meats and it did not disappoint even though I was stuffed I still managed a crumble and custard which was so nice! Will definitely be back.

Friendly, nice country Pub. Great beer garden for summer and the staff are great. Cathryn and Callum are mint crack. Always have a good laugh with these two!

Great pub, Cathrun and Cameron are mint crack.

The perfect cosy pub for a lovely warm delicious meal, super friendly staff we were served by Cathryn and Meg both of who were so welcoming, lovely ambience and the food is always beautiful

I came in on Sunday for a roast dinner and i was very impressed. Although it was very busy, food was delicious and service was fast. Jennie and Grace were serving us and they were very friendly and welcoming. I recommend for everyone and will be returning myself

Just enjoyed a lovely meal in a cosy warm pub. Great service from the staff - Ryan especially

Staff Kim and Janet were brilliant.... Surroundings were lovely ... the food was ok, sea bass great but lasagne i thought was overcooked, starters calameri was bland and tastless, duck pizza tasty but again slightly overcooked.... however, overall i enjoyed my visit and would return no problem.

Service was amazing, beer was lovely, food well presented but lacked in flavour and chips weren’t very crispy. Overall very lovely experience in a lovely location though. View outside is gorgeous :)

We often visit this lovely family pub and the service and food is always great but today was exceptionally. Our server was Ryan and he made the whole experience just the best. He was knowledgeable and wanted to help, went above and beyond all with a smile on his face and was great with my grandson. Asset to the already lovely pub. Thank you Ryan

Popped in for Lunch with my family, from a welcoming smile, through to great food and super service all the staff went out of their way to make our dining experience superb, Janet has a lovely personality and made us all smile. The mini sweets with coffee are great folding a large main course, good for the wallet too.

Good selection of drinks at the bar, fast and good quality service. Thanks to Jordan and Holly for the food. Definitely worth the visit 👍

Just had an absolutely beautiful meal & a few drinks. Staff are really lovely & food was piping hot. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back.

Fantastic service by Kim and janet made me so welcome love this place

Lovely friendly atmosphere and good service by Janet and Kim and delicious food

Helen and I have visited the swan on numerous occasions. And it comes highly recommended.

Lovely setting that sells a good shandy but then there’s the food….the main reason the majority of us go out on a Sunday afternoon. The menu itself sounds great but what you get is far from it. Menus are sold to you by the amazing descriptions that always disappoint. Trio of meat, there was beef, turkey and pork belly but it was the smallest portion accompanied by impossible to eat pork cracking that just tasted of fat, mushy broccoli, roast potatoes that were chewy, over cooked burnt carrots and over salted gravy. The waitress when taking our plates away asked if I wanted to speak to the manager, I declined. It is what it is and money off which we weren’t looking for would not alter the experience. We foolishly chose dessert. Banoffee choux bun with caramelised banana and ice cream. Purely squirting caramel sauce on a banana does not mean they are caramelised and I may as well have gone to the corner shop for a packet of foam banana sweets as the cream inside the choux was illuminous yellow with a repugnant artificial taste. This was my food, it would be a way longer review if I also mentioned my partners choice from the menu. Lost our custom as it’s an expensive £80 to be let down.

Jennie, Cathryn and Chloe took perfect care of us from the moment we arrived!

We booked a table here for 6 people on Saturday night, and we absolutely loved it. The food was excellent, the beer was lovely, and the staff were so friendly, accommodating, and welcoming. The service was superb & they even have a separate dining area for people with dogs which we thought was brilliant. The views from the beer garden are superb & there's even a small covered outdoor area with heaters. We will definitely be coming back!

We had a fantastic meal and the service was spot on . Mac n cheese was superb and my son loved his children’s meal

Friendly staff and lovely food I would recommend

Lovely food, drinks and service! Will be back again soon!

Chefs got a shite haircut but the food and staff are class

Come here quite often with my partner and family, really enjoy the food and the staff are always friendly and can’t do enough for you

Friendly helpful staff and good quality reasonably priced food

Booked in advance in dog area of pub. Really good quality food at a reasonable price 👍
