The Swan in Bradford

Fantastic meal for two. We shared two of the nibbles to start - Korean belly pork bites and fried jalapeño. Both delicious! Mains were tasty and such a generous portion. Would definitely return and recommend

Our first time visiting as staying in the area. Really impressed with the food, especially the handmade veggie burger- wow! Good portion sizes, good selection to choose from -including a specials board and for kids. Friendly and attentive service too. Thank you!

We were on holiday and staying in the village. Staff were friendly and attentive and we had a great meal - all beautifully cooked. Lamb shanks, Moqueca (fish stew), veggie burger and boar burger. We all had ice cream for dessert and they had an unusual range of flavours that did not disappoint. Highly recommend a visit

As soon as we walked through the door we were given a lovely smile from Katie who showed us to our table. The pub was almost full early on a Tuesday evening with people eating - a good sign! An interesting menu of pub classics plus really good variation. I really enjoyed my Korean Belly Pork starter. They also had a really good selection of Yorkshire beers. Loved it!

Thought we would treat ourselves to dinner in The Swan on Friday night. The Boar Burger was one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. It was perfectly accompanied by a small portion of Blue Cheese Loaded Fries. What a treat. We’ll definitely be back for more.

Sunday lunch was excellent. Very friendly welcoming staff. Well staffed and well organised. Couldn’t have been better.

Very happy with our steaks, kids meals and desserts. IPA and gravy were top notch. Service is was good and We'll return if we are ever in the area.

Luckily this is our local and I always take for granted how excellent the food is and how good the staff are at accommodating and looking after us but I had to post a review following our last visit for Sunday lunch. The food was absolutely fab. Most of us had the lamb Henry with fish and chips for the kids and it was so good I can’t stop thinking about it! A great village pub, with friendly staff, locals and a really good quality menu with regular specials. Highly recommend!

As the title suggests great food with excellent friendly service will definitely visit again. Not much more to say get yourself down here.

Called an hour before to see if there was a free table for 2 adults and a toddler and luckily they’d had a cancellation. The Sunday dinner (we all had roast beef) was hands-down the best I’ve had in a long time. Everything was cooked to perfection and extra gravy was no problem. Drinks were lovely too; they obviously look after their cellars well. The service was lovely and nothing was too much trouble without being overbearing. Feel like we’ve found a gem - looking forward to visiting again soon.

We visited The Swan twice whilst staying in a log cabin at the nearby Olicana Park. What a find! Best in the village for food, well kept beer, good wine, great atmosphere and friendly staff!We enjoyed bargain price fish and chips on their specials’ night, but you would have been just as happy paying full price!We’re staying in a cabin again next month and this will be our ‘go to’ pub/restaurant....especially as it’s within stumbling distance!

Had a family Sunday lunch here whilst visiting Bolton Abbey. Great village pub with a fantastic atmosphere and good food. The covid precautions in place made us feel confident eating here. Be warned the portions are massive.

Fab fish, excellent choice of local ales and decent wine. Good Covid measures and felt very safe for first proper meal out. Thank you and see you soon

My partner and stopped in for lunch today half way through a circular walk Ilkley to Addingham. The food was really excellent. The fish in particular was obviously really fresh and cooked perfectly. Secondly the portion sizes are amazing! We're both really big eaters and still left stuffed. The Brazilian fish stew starter was the size of a main!Eat out to help out is obviously a huge perk but even without it, it would've felt like fantastic value. The staff were also lovely and efficent despite it being busy. Will definately return next time we're down this way.

Lovely old character pub with flagstone floors and open fires. Great food and a wide choice. Great ambiance and friendly stall

Stayed in Addingham for a week recently and were regulars at The Swan. Best pub in the village, fantastic food, great range of drinks and a very warm and friendly welcome. Would highly recommend it and will definitely be back when we’re in the area again.

Joined our friends for a last minute booking and so pleased we did. Absolutely buzzing both inside and out , prob due to the discounted offer at the moment but this is obviously the favourite pub in the village! Wonderful flat steak for me and lamb for the others. The staff were rushed off their feet but so attentive.A great place for lunch after a long walk in the area and looking forward to visiting again and sitting by the fire in the main room.

We’ve eaten here a few times and it’s always incredible! Super friendly service, great atmosphere will definitely be back!

My husband and I decided to eat here after our initial dinner plans fell through. We're so glad they did! The Swan was a great find. Chatty, friendly waitress couldn't do enough for us and the menu was excellent with a wide range of meals to suit all tastes. There was also a good selection of local beers and gin.

We found this place by luck after walking Simon’s Seat and deciding we were too tired to cook. We managed to book a table online whilst driving over. All COVID measures were in place - hand sanitiser on the doors the tables were well spaced and everything was brought to us sanitised. Our party included a vegetarian, a dairy allergy and a gluten allergy, we all felt we were very well catered for. I was so excited to find that my steak came with Gluten Free onion rings. Everyone said their food was fantastic, it certainly all looked amazing!

we walked here from Ilkley hoping we would find somewhere for a couple of pints and a light lunch. What luck we stumbled into The Swan! We sat outside had some delicious Tetley Bitter and a great sandwich. Rich rewards for our 5 mile walk. Decent prices and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Excellent real ales and food in this very friendly mid-town pub with beer garden. Varied and very interesting menu.

My family (6 of us) have just eaten here today on the eat out to help out scheme. The food was absolutely outstanding and great service too. Would highly recommend and to get 50% of your bill was an added bonus. We will definitely return!

Visited the pub as we were camping nearby. Booked a table in advance, we had a warm welcome, the food was great and we were made to feel very welcome - thank you

Visited whilst staying at Bolton abbey for a couple of days. Service was really friendly. The gent that served us took the time to find out a bit about us and made the whole experience comfortable in these post lock down times. The best bit was the food though...wonderful! I’ve never had a nicer (or bigger!) fish sandwich. Really well cooked in feather light batter and fresh bread. Really enjoyed our visit and hope to be back soon!

After a long day exploring Bolton Abbey before travelling home to near Manchester, we searched for a local pub with good reviews and The Swan came up. Rang for a 5pm table but food service didn’t start until 6pm! Chef agreed to start early....very much appreciated as it was a birthday meal (they didn’t know that). When the food arrived it was AMAZING! Braised Chirizo in red wine to start and Lamb cutlets, which were cooked to perfection! Very friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for us and all covid safety measures in place and adhered too. When we go back to Bolton Abbey we will go back here again and recommend to friends who may visit. GREAT FIND & LOVELY FOOD!

Had such a lovely meal, food was brilliant as was the surroundings. I suffer with really bad food allergies and the waiter couldn’t have been more attentive in ensuring everything was okay for me to eat. Would really recommend!

Family Sunday lunch: the Wainwright’s was absolutely outstanding, indeed some of the best beer I have ever had. Two roast beefs and a fish pie where all excellent, although the beef, just slightly pink in places, could have been a tad rarer for me. That though was the only minor criticism and not enough to lose a justifiably high rating. A glass of young Merlot was a good pairing for the beef. Service was outstanding throughout and there is something very special about this cosy place’s ambience. It remains one of my favourite pubs.

Stopped here for lunch one Saturday on a walk from Ilkley Moor. Great find. Nice cosy pub with roaring fire. Had a delightful burger to eat and an excellent pint is Goose Eye Chinook. Nice welcome from the staff too. An all around excellent experience!

I grew up in Addingham and hadn't been in to the Swan for about 25 years! Its kept its charm and welcoming feel. Open log fires, stone floors and good food and ales make this a great place to come on a cold, miserable day! Well priced food and good service. Definitely worth a visit if your passing through or enjoying one of the many rambling walks through the village

Fabulous place.Such a lovely pub and great food❤️❤️Lovely place to warm up after a great day at Bolton Abbey

Such a warm and friendly pub at the end of a days walking in the dales. It had a great warm fire and great beer.

very good varied menu but its not cheap. outside seating and car park make it unusual in the village. If you can afford it, its divine

Working our way through the many village eating and drinking places and The Swan is the best so far. Good honest food, and friendly service. Would have loved to have tried the local cheese board but too full after the pot pie. Husband had room for the ginger ice cream.

Stumbled upon this public house and eatery on a visit to Bolton Abbey with my girlfriend.Perfect pint, great food and excellent service from a small team of young women who are at the top of their game.I’ve worked in customer service for over thirty years and am always pleasantly surprised when I see / receive great service, though I know I shouldn’t be..Well done to all the team - we will be back! Ps I’m veggie and wasn’t disappointed : though we only managed to get a shot of me with my pint and nothing of the food, apologies

After been on freezing point whilst dining at the Fleece in Addingham we called at the Swan further up the village. What a contrast, the warmth greeted us as we walked through the door, the open fires gave this establishment a great atmosphere. The meals on the tables looked very appetising. Next time we dine out in the village that will be the place for us.

a large car park to the rear, we had booked a table which is advisable, the staff were very friendly a great welcome. We both had the roast beef dinner which was nicely cooked and well presented and served hot, they cater for children high chairs available. Well behaved dogs and well behaved owners are made welcome, great place to eat, well worth a visit, thank you, we will be back.

We've eaten at the Swan 3 times and each time the experience, the service and the quality of the food has been fantastic.

My wife and I were driving through Addingham and fancied a pub lunch. After checking Trip Advisor reviews we chose here.

Surpasses the high expectations raised by a raft of positive reviews on trip advisor. Don't be put off by the incredibly gloomy car park and a bit particularly inspiring exterior; this place is a genuine hidden gem. Can only echo what other reviewers have said about the incredible value for money here on what is essentially true gastropub quality. Lots of locally sourced specials, genuinely home cooked detailing. For example the black garlic aioli which accompanied our sausage trio was sublime; silken textured and a flavour perfectly balanced between smoky, garlicky and with just the gentlest hint of acidity to cut through the richness. Would have happily devoured a vat of it. The lamb's liver we had was meltingly tender and delicately flavoursome; accompanied by creamy fresh mashed potatoes, nicely cooked cabbage, a tangle of tasty caramelised onions and a deeply tweet subtly flavoured jus. Enough of the jus to enjoy with all the components of the meal too; no token smears or tiny blobs of sauce here. Our trio of differently flavored artisan sausages was equally delightful, accompanied by fries and a nicely prepped and dressed salad, mercifully not a pea shoot in sight. We also had a generously sized portion of the tastiest and most nicely cooked onion rings we've had in a very long time. Sometimes these apparently simple things are the hardest to get right and oh boy were they on point here. For dessert we took advantage of the incredibly fairly priced local ice cream selection at £1.25 a scoop; enjoying salted licorice, cherry crush, vanilla and a beautifully crafted ginger flavour. Our drinks were equally well served and by the most knowledgable and truly hospitable barman/server any establishment could hope to employ. Dan. I salute and sincerely thank you for making my husband's landmark birthday a really special occasion. We didn't tell Dan it was my husband's birthday let alone a special one. Dan is just a genuinely hospitable, gently enthusiastic and unobtrusively genial host. If other hostelries and eateries could clone Dan, they would be onto a very good thing. He truly exemplifies all that excellent customer service can be. He came out from behind the bar when we entered, rather lost and adrift and not really knowing where to go or sit or whether all tables were reserved etc as we couldn't get close to the tiny bar to ask. A couple of people at the bar and that's a full bar! This place is small but perfectly formed; a truly quintessential English pub with fireside, an adorable side snug bar with original settle seating and low key unpretentious styling. Dan has that rare but happy knack of putting customers at ease and blending the needs of locals and visitors alike to produce a really welcoming ambience. Will we be back? For sure! Already looking at the Christmas menu and planning ahead even though we live about five hours away! And the value for money prices mean that we could if we stayed locally actually afford to eat here throughout our stay. Bravo to the owners of this place for having the vision and determination to focus on the things that matter; great locally sourced home cooked food, great prices and amazing service. Top marks.

We visited here for lunch and were surprised by the quality of the food. The pub is old fashion and to be honest not very attractive inside but the food and service more than made up for it. There was a good choice with something for everybody's tastes. The food was nicely cooked, good quantities and fairly quickly served.

We wanted to end our annual camping weekend with friends with a Sunday lunch, and found this brilliant place at the last minute (we literally booked in 10 minutes before arrival!) Brilliant service and excellent food, we were all really impressed. Highly recommended!

Brilliant atmosphere, fantastic food, friendly and efficient staff - what more could you want? The menu is changed regularly and fish and chips are excellent. Well done Jonny and co.

Called in for Bank Holiday lunch. A traditional pub with stone floors and low beamed ceiling. Typical Dales pub.

A spontaneous visit on the way home for an evening meal. A welcome pint of "Lancaster Bomber" while perusing the menu - and the extensive specials board. Chose to share a starter of calimari and garlic aoli. Brilliant - wonderful tempura coating and exquisitely tender squid. My wife then had the traditional gammon, egg and chips which she declared "excellent" while I had the home-made chicken Kiev which was first rate. The ambience is that of a homely village pub and the service is friendly and efficient. You will be impressed by the variety and imaginative choice of dishes. The food is superior to many more expensive places in Addingham and Ilkley. Strongly recommended.

I used to come here regularly a few years ago and haven't been back for some time. It is still the traditional local pub which I remember but it has taken a step up. Good choice of beers and good quality pub grub at reasonable prices.It is dog friendly which tends to put me off if I am having a meal but on this occasion there were no four legged beasts nearby.

You walk into this pub and you know they know what they are doing. Everything says quality. The staff , decor , food and drink make you feel you're glad you came.

We were a party of 4 people staying at Catgill farm campsite. The pub team were really knowledgable and accommodating with all of our fussy groups meal swaps.

We rang ahead to make a last minute booking after a let down at the bull at broughton and we were not disappointed. We thoroughly enjoyed Camembert , fish gougons , fish cake and lamb with chorizo. The homemade chips were delicious and all with very friendly service. I’m sure we will be back very soon.

We were recommended The Swan as a place to eat wholesome pub fare by our guest house owner. I can say that the recommendation was spot on! From the minute we walked in, we realised that we were in the right place. The staff were really welcoming, despite bring rushed off their feet! We sat inside the quaint, old-fashioned bar, remembering when all pubs used to look this way.

The waitress was very nice, but unfortunately was advised by her boss that she wasn't allowed to give us a fork to eat our fish and chips. Before making the order we asked to sit outside and eat, you would think they would be able to spare us a fork, but instead we were forced to eat with our hands.

The Swan is a proper village pub, whether you want to eat or just go out for a drink. It has an excellent atmosphere, friendly service, a good variety of beers and provides good pub food and first rate wine choices

On our first visit it was a little quiet, which of course is may be what some people prefer, but lacked a little buzz of a pub on a Saturday night. However, on the Monday night it was nearly full and plenty of atmosphere. Food was all well cooked, presented and served. Price was reasonable. Some staple pub dishes but many a bit out of the ordinary which meant choice for two evening meals in close succession was good. The staff were pleasant, helpful and attentive. All in all a couple of enjoyable evenings.

Visited with a group of friends. Managed to seat us on the off chance on a busy Friday evening. Lovely food, staff and atmosphere. Would highly recommend and would visit again.

Food and drinks very good, barmaid/waitress very polite and helpful. Easy off road parking at rear of pub. Very cosy place with seating outside. A must to try

My friend and I enjoyed a lovely light lunch here and decided to come back and try the fish and chip night (large, and I mean large, fish and chips for just £7.50!) It was due to another restaurant letting us down at the last minute, but in fact they did us a favour as the Swan reserved us a table when we phoned, were very helpful and friendly, and the fish and chips were absolutely lovely! We hadn't much room for dessert but managed some delicious ice cream. Thank you for a really great meal, we would definitely recommend the Swan and will be back!

Following a funeral we had the buffet lunch at the swan for 18 of the family, large car park to the rear, the staff gave us a nice welcome, they put on a very nice buffet which was freshly prepared and nicely presented, the staff were very helpful, thank you so much it made things a bit easer,

My husband and I had a great night in The Swan on bank holiday Friday. The food, beer, service and hospitality were all top notch. The pub was very busy but the staff were amazing at looking after their customers, clearing tables and keeping everyone happy without being intrusive. They offer a very varied main menu and also exciting specials. There is also a lovely selection of real ales. We cannot fault our evening and cannot wait to visit again.

Gorgeous old pub with an interesting menu. I had a trio of smoked fish my husband had a coronation chicken baguette both excellent and plentiful. Happy for our dog to sit anywhere

We dropped into the Swan for a meal. We were warned from the outset that they were busy and there would be a delay. We were kept informed and given a complimentary starter. When our food did come it was superb. Probably the best scampi I have eaten. Bev had the fish pie, which was also excellent. Great value, friendly service. We will be back.

After a day of travel to the bed & breakfast we were staying at in nearby Silsden Moor, our kind hostess recommended us to this place for dinner.

We had a really nice lunch here whilst passing through the village. Just sandwiches/baguettes, but there was plenty food and it came with home-made chips. Very tasty indeed. Really friendly staff also. Will definitely return.

Went for Sunday lunch and the food was well cooked and tasty, standard prices you expect to pay in Addingham. Staff are friendly and the place is warm and welcoming. We will definitely return.

We go here often as the food can be relied upon to be good with reasonable prices.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon, didn’t book but there were tables free. Was relatively busy, families and couples. Seemed a bit chaotic/messy but I just assumed it was a family type place so was expecting that kind of menu. Found the food to be quite overpriced for a bit of a chaotic/rustic environment. Partner ordered one of the specials which was herby sausage and mash, it came and the mash had so much horseradish in it I would’ve been unable to eat it! The menu didn’t advertise the mash as horseradish so it seemed a bit obscure to put such a harsh flavour in without advertising as such. £12.50 for bangers and mash which wasn’t amazing quality or quantity seemed steep. Waitresses were very busy so not much attention to the customer so just ate, paid and left. I guess it just feels like quite a high price to pay for not a lot of service?

Great simple pub food, good choice of reasonably priced beer and service with a smile. Will definitely return.

Visited on Mother’s Day and the Service was very poor (I understand Mother’s Day is a busy day but this should be taken into account and expected, service should not falter because of this)

Had a lovely lunch here today. A cosy and friendly pub with some great original features including an open fire in a range just like my Grandma used to have. The service was excellent and the food was delicious, I will certainly call again and can thoroughly recommend

Cosy little pub with food available. Fish pie was a little watery & the fresh veg included hard carrots. Will think twice before re visiting.

We booked one of the side rooms for New years Eve (27 of us) We had a wonderful family night, great food, excellent service and a family disco ! Thank you for making our New Years Eve special !

We were lucky to get a table at late notice in an already full and buzzing restaurant! The food was delicious the roast beef pink and tender ,lovely bowls of veg served on the table. The service was friendly and efficient. We’ll be back !

had a great time when we went there for dinner on christmas day. The food was excellent, had a good atmosphere and the staff couldn't have been more helpful.

This is a busy little local pub that has a restaurant side to it. Good selection if cask ales Log fires in winter Lots of parking and supports the local community

Popped in here the other day just before a work call. The staff were lovely and efficient, I was in a bit of a hurry and they were super friendly and accomodating. Highly recommended!

Large car park round the rear. Nice atmosphere with great food and beer. Can recommend the belly pork and the scampi. Prices reasonable. Try a pint of Otter!

Nice friendly pub with a good atmosphere. Fish and chips great and tasted very fresh. Other members enjoyed their sandwiches and chips. Good selection of beer on offer. Large car park at the rear.

Called in for Saturday lunch. The menu was extensive and the welcome from the staff nice and friendly.

Had a meal here tonight then stayed for the quiz night. Food was really delicious, I picked from the specials board and had the cod chunk with prawns which was so good, partner had the flat iron steak with fries and onion rings which he said was very good, friends enjoyed theirs too. The quiz night was good fun and a great atmosphere - thank you !

I ordered fish n chip takeaway from here and they were fab, chips were amazing!! I waited in the pub by the log fire, it was lovely. Can’t wait to go back and try the main menu.

Just returned from a lunch for four. We all had the Sunday lunch roast beef. My second pint was just slightly flat. That was the only possible criticism of the meal at the price. Everything else was absolutely spot on. The beef, served pink, was outstanding. It is also very civilised to order drinks at the bar when one arrives and have them brought to the table. Landlords and tenants alike should descend on this place to learn how things are done properly. As an aside, the waitress, or possibly, landlady, referred to our preprandial packet of pork scratchings as an ‘amuse bouche’, which I found, er, amusing. You are in very safe hands here!

Had a great meal here and a lovely glass of wine. Friendly staff, dogs allowed, has an open fire in winter, In fact it will be a cosy pub when the cold weather arrives. In summer you can sit outside but you are on the main street although it is not too busy.

Really quaint pub with good beer and good service. But the food was a real disappointment. I had the haddock gratin. A small microwaved bowl with a few peas on the side. Barely enough food for a starter. My friend had the Moroccan chicken which again was really small for a mains. We've eaten at the Swan before and the food was good so hopefully this was just an off day.

Four of us came to eat on a quiet Monday night. So was a bit soulless but the cheery staff made up for lack of atmosphere.

Enjoyed a super. homemade roast lunch in this quaint pub. Food excellent, very friendly and accommodated our two dogs, Labrador and Cocker Spaniel (Both well behaved dogs).The sweet menu looked tempting but we were too full to try.!! Will do next time.

Large car park up a slope, which might be a problem for the people with walking problems, you can drop off and then park in the car park, one step to enter the pub, we were felt most welcome, the staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu , our drinks order taken whilst we looked over the menu, we had the roast of the day roast beef served with the Yorkshires and veg, We asked for a small portion which was no problem, so 4of us had the roast beef and 1 had the Moroccan chicken with Couscous. The child menu was very good but they could choose a small portion from the main menu. The sweet menu had a good selection. The service was very good nothing too much trouble. The toilet was up two steps which could be a bit difficult for some people. Well done to all the staff this is a great pub with a nice atmosphere. Will be back thank you.

Found this place on TripAdvisor after deciding to eat on our way home from Bolton Abbey. The Swan has great reviews and I now know why. Very friendly and accommodated our pooches. We are non meat eaters and the options were fab. Had a gorgeous smoked haddock gratin and Broadhead and spinach burger, both equally delicious. Great parking at the back and plenty of space inside and out. Would highly recommend and it might become our regular stop after Burnsall visits. Thank you to the lovely team at The Swan.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Nice bustling atmosphere. Great selection of beers. Fantastic menu to choose from plus specials. Offers through the week look great value.

Went to the Swan on Sunday early evening, had ice cold lager and ordered the fish chips and peas with tartare sauce, how refreshing to have all of the ingredients freshly cooked. All food was prepared on site(no frozen chips here) most impressed, not particularly low priced but excellent , even the sauce was made on premises. Friendly staff who were understanding of my husbands needs. This is a typical village pub serving good food, dogs are welcome which is a plus point in this part of the world.

Dined at lunchtime on Friday with a friend. The welcome was warm and friendly, and although not terribly busy the atmosphere felt comfortable. We ordered sea bass and the Moroccan Chicken, both were tasty and nicely served. The service was excellent throughout the afternoon (lunch turned into a very long lunch). With thanks to the staff.

A pub in the middle ofAddingham village plenty of small rooms off the bar to sit and enjoy both food and drinks pleasant staff and a good atmosphere for the locals who frequent it

Loved this place . We came here early one evening with our 2 children. They were friendly and welcoming and brilliant when my daughter tripped over the hearth headlong into the fire grate! The beer was great- I had a pint of well-kept Timothy Taylor. Love their policy of providing child size portions of the main meals on the menu- I can never understand why more places don’t do this rather than forcing thre little ones to have endless sausages and chips..... anyway mine chose sausages and mash which was really good quality with butcher assured sausages which I believe change regularly. My partner had lovely gammon egg and chips, we were both very impressed that they make their own chips from scratch as they do their onion rings which were brilliant. I had steak which was disappointing and the only let down of the whole meal which was a real shame as the cafe de Paris butter it came with was delicious as was the home made mayonnaise. I’d asked for rare and it was def medium to well done probably because it was such a thin cut piece of meat. It didn’t taste of much either.

Looking for a pub for lunch and popped in on off chance - fish and chips were amazing - great selection of real ales as well as friendly staff and great service Will definitely be back!

After reading reviews in the locality booked here to eat

we went for a meal with dog ( there attitude if its as well behaved as owner no problem0 to a very warm welcome on a busy Tuesday ( fish and chips night) We ordered from the main menu and had first class chef quality food which exceeded our expectations. This is a quality restaurant in the local pub.

Stopped off here on a beautiful sunny day, having reserved a table prior to our visit. I think you’ll always have to book as it was well busy.

Lovely little local pub. I was really looking forward to our visit after recommendations from friends. I am a pescatarian and there was not a great deal to choose from for me although the menu is only small which is fine as I always think it is good to specialise in a few great dishes rather than spreading too thin on too many. Starters were lovely, my main was OK but the sea bass was ordercooked and the new potatoes were just that with no butter or seasoning. I don't think the orange salad went with it either. My partner got the sausages and enjoyed his. Where it fell down was the desserts. The orange and cardamom rice pudding was hard and starchy instead of smooth and comforting like you'd expect it to be. There were some large cardamom pods in there too. The prune tart came with ice cream but was cold and hard. We hardly touched them. The evening was rounded off by a large group in their 20's who punctuated all their sentences with the f word (I'm 35, love a good swear but not in a public restaurant) and they were left to do this even with staff popping in and (I presumed) overhearing it.

Top quality food . Fabulous on all levels. Great service, good choices.. try the chorizo and Stilton , mixed grill , Silver bream..

Hits the right note in having a menu that suits most tastes without getting too fancy. Obviously popular - all tables taken on Saturday when we went - the staff were all very helpful making sure we were comfortable - service was quick and the food really good. Enjoyed the salted liquorice ice cream (not as fancy as it sounds!).

Stopped off here for a late supper, my daughter and I were very happy with our meals. She had the fish pie and I had chicken with asparagus and pancetta. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

We've been coming to this traditional pub for a while on Friday nights for a beer but, tempted by the menu, decided to come for lunch with a few friends to celebrate my wife's birthday.
