Stopped for a drink and a meal here a few weeks back and had the Swan Burger.....and very nice it was (one of the best burgers I've ever had !!!!). And last weekend we were in the same area and we decided to stay the night in one of their lovely rooms overlooking the river - and had a wonderful time. The room was really great, with a small balcony with table and chairs overlooking the Great River Ouse (saw some rowers training in the morning !!). Had a very nice meal on the Friday evening in the restaurant which was as enjoyable as our first meal !!. Greatly recommended !!.

Only stayed for one night but won’t go again. Staff member booking us in was very pleasant but the room was not good. Bed was ok but the carpet looked grubby, radiator wouldn’t heat so room cold. Bathroom was awful. We were given a disabled room (not asked for). The tiles were damaged and looked old, the seat in the shower was absolutely gross. I certainly would not have touched it. Tiles behind the sink were spattered with what looked like toothpaste. We had two flies annoying us and I think they must have been trapped for a while. There was a bad smell of drains around the area which came into the room.

Absolutely wonderful pub, location and staff. The Sunday roast dinner is spectacular - the best I’ve had in the area for years. Setting is incredible by the river. Visited a few years ago when it was nothing like this. New owners are lovely and heart and effort going into it really shows. Amazing experience can’t wait to go back.

I mainly use the Swan for food and beverage, only, but I would be happy for family and friends to stay based on the quality of food and service. As a former hotelier, by profession, I find the staff, irrespective of thier age, competent and, importantly, conscientious. Tishina, Chris and George, admirably assisted by Liela, Joseph and Bobby under the supervision of Normal, Gee and Hannah make a great team and are such lovely, friendly people. The main reason I use the Swan.

We have just come back from an overnight stay here. We had a lovely time with no complaints, yes the room could do with a little more attention but I slept well and it was lovely and quiet. The staff however in the brasserie were amazing! Very attentive, caring, friendly and hard working. We were served by Liela and Bobby who really couldn't do enough for us and for that reason we have given 4 stars! Thank you for everything.

It's the second time we've stayed here. The rooms are not cleaned to a high standard and the carpets are horribly dirty. We chose this place as we needed to be close to family. It was the same last time - not clean. We bring our own slippers to walk around the room.

If i could give negative stars i would. Just left here after what i can only describe as an absolute disgrace. We booked a table for 9, it took 2 hours for food to arrive. We had an elderly relative with us and after waiting for well over an hour only to be told our order would be another 25 minutes, requested her meal to come out. They then brought out the SAME meal to the table next to us and not hers despite being there longer and making the request. When the meals finally did arrive they were overcooked, fatty, dry and so full of chilli it couldn't be eaten. The servers are only young and try their best, but at no point did any senior staff come out until I requested it, then they were just full of excuses. Drinks came out slowly, but mainly incorrect. All the other tables said the same thing, all vowing not to come back. Don't bother wasting your hard earned money.

We stopped here for dinner while on our canal boat holiday, so cannot comment on the accommodation, but if the rest of the place is anything to go by, the accommodation must be excellent. We had dinner - the Quesadillas are highly recommended, but the whole meal was delicious. Two adults and one teenager, and we all left feeling extremely satisfied. We like it so much we went back for lunch a couple of day later and we were not disappointed! Big shout out to the owners, sorry I cannot remember the lady's name and to the gentleman who was keenly gardening - you were both delightful and so welcoming. Overall a great place to eat with a great atmosphere and warm and friendly staff.

Read to the end…Service was excellent. The food….they were trialling a new chef. Steaks were chewy and although cooked as requested, they arrived cold. My curry wouldn’t have fed a child. Paltry portion. The only other couple in the restaurant experienced the same issues. Management were fantastic; they only charged us for our drinks. A different chef will make all the difference.

Friendly no-nonsense local Asian takeaway. Food is simple, tasty, inexpensive, consistently nice quality, and I like that they remember my usual (a vegetarian tweak to one of their chicken dishes). They make things pretty fast for collections. Been going there for a few years and they are still one of my favourites.

This take away is an absolute gem! Not only the best I have tried in the area, but I would genuinely say it’s the best Chinese food I have ever had! Do not pass this one by because it doesn’t look posh outside. Inside is very clean & the food is so fresh. The rice is light & fluffy, not stodgy in any way. The crispy beef & chilli is by far the best I have had - really crispy & not swamped in sauce as is so often the case. Everything was simply perfect. No one had anything but the highest praise for everything they had. Everything disappeared! If you haven’t tried here yet, do it next time you want Chinese. You will not be disappointed, believe me. The New Dragon Inn is now our only port of call for Chinese food. Just be aware it’s cash only payment - which I personally have no issue with, especially when the reward is such fantastic food!

Had a meal here this evening. It was very quiet in the restaurant but nicely decorated and well kept. The staff well very helpful and friendly quickly attending to any of our needs. The food was lovely, I had the ribs which is definitely recommend and for a full rack I’d say very well priced. I’ll definitely go here again.

Burnt bun, tasteless burger. Fries forgotten, though a quick call and it was sorted, with apologies. But fries were delivered an hour after the burgers and were lukewarm, weirdly thin, soggy. On this meal, would not recommend.
