The Swan is a real gem it’s not a pub that serves pub food it serves food of the highest quality there is nothing on the menu that you wouldn’t want to eat The service is impeccable Olly has created a superb venue in a small village location that would be at home in a city

Used to eat here many years ago. So first time back to eat a few days ago. Was impressed. Had lovely Sunday lunch. Quality of food really good. Thank you for putting a lovely nut roast on menu, as not all places do this. A tiny bit more veg would be good. Service very good. Welcoming staff. Lovely atmosphere. Good drinks menu. Well done to the team. Already recommended it to others. We'll be back. Will be bringing my friends. Thank you.

So came here in April 25 for a casual dinner to celebrate my wife’s birthday. 4 year old daughter was in tow. The spring menu was Italian themed. I have to say that this is a proper gastro pub. The food is excellent. Really high quality and very very tasty. Portion size is good so you won’t leave hungry. Expresso martinis are delicious as was the wine. As it was my wife’s birthday they brought out a brownie and a candle and some ice cream for my daughter just so she wouldn’t feel left out. Luckily this is in vicinity and is out go to place when we want some decent food and a nice night out. We’ll be back.

Our first vist to the Swan after hearing good reports, so been look forward to going for a while... Well have to say it was quite disappointing. . Started well being seated and a nice atmosphere.. Drinks order was taken and was a little slow coming out but not a bigy Menu's were given to us.. and no explanation of what catch of the day was or Roast of the day i had to ask when they came to take our order.. I picked Roast Lamb, my wife had Roast Beef as did our Friends. When the meals were brought out, all the Roasts were on one Big Platter with Yorkshire pudding.. Presentation was Good but there was No explanation of which was which when it was laid in front of us.. It wasn't particularly Obvious..! Also they were really quite small portions ..Id expect a little better for £21.5. for the lamb and £20 ish for the beef.. I'm not particularly a big eater.. So again disappointing.. The Vegetables and Mash were brought out on sharing dishes.. again really small portions mash especially only one small table spoon each.. Unfortunately i couldn't bring this to the attention of anyone as no body came back to check if our meals were OK.. Also it wasn't till our plates got taken away i also noticed that other people were also getting Roast Parsnips coming out on the Meat plater.. again disappointing that there was no continuity of the meals being sent out.. Now all being said the meal its self was of a good standard and tasty. I think if there had been a bit more attention to detail and follow up from the staff the experience would have been better.. I should also should say that the Staff were polite at all times..

We visited for our daughter's 18th birthday, as she had requested a family Sunday lunch. We couldn't have chosen a better place. Fantastic service from the point of booking, ensuring both dietary needs and also a table suitable for our dogs to join us in a quiet spot in the bar. There was even a birthday card on the table for her when we arrived! The meal itself was absolutely superb, with a wide range of vegetables and perfectly cooked roast beef. We can highly recommend the ice-cream if you need a lighter pudding after such a great main course (although the Tiramisu cheesecake is also excellent!). Ollie and his team truly looked after us and made it a lovely birthday meal. Thank you!

Our first visit after a recommendation. We were there for Sunday lunch and ate in the bar so our dog could join us. I’ve got to say this was the best Sunday lunch I’ve ever eaten (sorry Mum) My son and I had the beef and it was beautiful - wonderful taste and really well cooked. My wife had the nut roast (which I also tasted) It was really tasty too. The vegetables were plentiful, and well seasoned, the gravy rich and deep and the yorkshires, perfect. The service was absolutely first rate a friendly, enthusiastic and professional. We all really enjoyed it and will definitely return. Bravo!!!

We had our 1st visit to The Swan on Sunday 23rd February ~ and it won't be our last. I am a complete technophobe and was worried I'd mess things up so after a quick email Oliver soon rang me back and sorted me out with a booking! When we arrived we we're greeted by Oliver and taken to a lovely table, the menu was mouthwatering making it difficult to choose~ but we did and was not disappointed with our choice. Everything was just perfect~ the presentation, the portion size, the taste was wonderful and as for the crackling I've not had anything better, plus for me there was enough gravy to satisfy my gravy obsession! After demolishing what was perfection I managed to force a Tiramisu cheesecake for dessert plus a coffee, and at no time did we feel rushed. I have no doubt we will be back before too much longer and have already told my family. I can thoroughly recommend the Sunday Lunch ~I will obviously have to visit other times now to compare the experience. Thank you to all the hardworking staff at The Swan for making it such a wonderful visit

I was greeted and given a spot for my campervan next to the pub garden to park up; very level and quiet. I had a very friendly welcome and the meal was delicious - seafood linguine with a very rich, creamy sauce. A TV had been installed for the Rugby 6 Nations tournament, and I was told it only comes out for certain sporting events, so I suggest checking if you want to watch something specific.

Having only ever enjoyed a Sunday lunch here, we visited mid week to try their evening menu. We didn’t know until arrival but they had just launched a fully Italian based menu to mix things up a bit. We’ve enjoyed some excellent Italian food over the years both in the UK and Italy so our expectations were set quite high. We enjoyed an antipasta meat platter to share to start. Not a lot of cheffing required here and appreciate anyone can construct a cold meat platter BUT the components were of the highest quality, origin and therefore flavour. Olives, various Italian cured meats, sun dried tomatoes, exceptional balsamic & oils, capers, pickled cucumbers and rocket - a delicious feast on its own and a sizeable platter giving excellent value / So much so we stopped eating to ensure we enjoyed our main courses and took the left overs away at the end of the meal. For main course we had Spicy sausage paccheri & Mushroom Alfredo trofie - both Rich and deep in flavour. This was accompanied by some garlic & herb three cheese bread - simply could not stop eating ! Their wine selection was great too. Seeing a Chianti on the list we thought we’d go fully Italian. I’ve often found Chianti to be overly dry but this was a real surprise - fruity & rounded - a delicious accompaniment. (Uggiano chianti Roccialta) Overall a wonderful meal that would grace the most exclusive Venetian restaurant terrace ! Congrats to the management, chef and waiting on team - all superb.

First time at the Swan and it will definitely not be the last. Different menu to the usual Gastro Pub offerings and it did n’r disappoint. Service , from arrival on, was friendly and efficient without being rushed or pressured. The bacon chop was excellent, tasty, beautifully cooked and presented, while the “ants in trees” was beautiful, gently spicy and a very generous helping. Pudding was an excellent deconstructed white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake and the whole meal was washed down with a great bottle of French Malbec. All in all a great experience which we will be repeating very soon! Big thank you to the Chef and staff for their care!

We went to The Swan for Sunday lunch today and the food and service were brilliant. We loved the selection of sides our chicken came with. We particularly loved the cabbage with bacon!

We booked seven of us plus three dogs here for Sunday dinner, and could not have been made more welcome. We had our own little marquee in the garden so the dogs were out of the way, and the staff were incredibly responsive and attentive. The food was EXCEPTIONAL! The meat was locally sourced as, I assume, were most of the ingredients. Between us we had pork, beef, chicken and nut roast and all were cooked to perfection. The vegetables, the potatoes; all delicious. Special mention for the cauliflower cheese!! It was so good, we even took another meal home for a relative! Wonderful setting, wonderful staff and wonderful chef - Definitely will be back for more!

I want to say thank you for a lovely Sunday lunch with my mum and dad. The food was excellent, the beef was so tender, and we were all able to have it cooked as we preferred, not offered at a lot of other places. Mum had the nut roast and is looking forward to the next time already, she thought it was so tasty. There was a good range of vegetables, too many for us to get through, but we really did give it a good try, well worth the money. We all loved the ambience of the restaurant, and then the pub side as well. We would say it had a wonderful feel of a local pub that is definitely a cut above most. The staff were very personable, attentive and efficient, and we sat having a good chat with some locals. Enjoyed it so much we will be bringing friends with us next time, thanks again, we would recommend to anyone.

Having passed The Swan many times, but never had the chance to go in, and having heard great things about the restaurant we decided to call in by chance with the family for tea, we were glad we did! We were warmly welcomed in, even though we hadn’t made a reservation. Having a couple of young children with us, they went out of their way to make up a child’s meal for us, we thought this was a nice touch. The food is fabulous, and the staff very friendly. We had the Korean Popcorn chicken and Fresh bread & oils for starters, the youngest children had a meal made up for her of popcorn chicken, minus the Korean sauce with skinny fries, a totally plain burger was made specially for my middle daughter with skinny fries, altering the meals for them wasn’t a problem. The eldest daughter had the full garnished burger and skinny fries, my wife had “pie of the Day” Chicken, leek and ham, with veg, mash & gravy, I think they do have a special pie day?!, i had a Bavette steak, with thick cut chips and a rocket & parmesan salad, I think i would go as far to say it may have been one of the best steaks I’ve tasted, cooked to perfection!, again I think they have a steak night also. We didn’t have dessert, the kids still had far too many easter eggs to go at. We did look at the selection, they had varied selection that looked great! - from Chocolate brownie & Ice cream to a cheese board. The pub looks like they have a large beer garden at the rear, we will definitely be returning, either as another nice meal, minus kids or as a watering stop while walking the dog.

This was the first time we had visited as the reviews were so good. It did not disappoint. The Sunday lunch was delicious. The three of us ordered roast beef, which came on a large slate together with roast potatoes and large yorkshire puddings. All the vegetables came in separate dishes. There was more than enough for the three of us but you could order more if you wished. We really enjoyed it, and, unfortunately, we were too full to order a dessert. Maybe next time as we will definitely return. We also found the staff to be extremely friendly and very helpful. Thank you. xx

We visited this establishment with high expectations. Whilst the decor was lovely the food and price not so. I ordered a pie and my husband ordered the fish pie. My steak and ale pie was ok but the rest was rather a disappointment. For the cost I’d expect more than just a pie, the smallest scoop of mash ever, and a few hard carrots. Let’s not forget the thimble sized gravy you get. As for my husbands fish pie it had potential but the fish in the middle was stone cold. And to top its off the hidden £7 service charge. Which we didn’t know was optional at the time but they don’t like to advertise that. Small piece of advice remove the service charge and allow people to tip what they feel is the correct amount.

I love this pub! I found it when visiting family and will often pop in with my partner and dog after a country walk when I'm in the area. The staff are friendly, the food is tasty, and they have a large garden to enjoy a sunny afternoon in. Highly recommend, and looking forward to my next visit out of London

We came here for Sunday lunch and the team managed to squeeze us in. From the moment we entered the pub the staff were so friendly and attentive. The pub was so cosy and had nice decor. Food was 10/10 we had the beef and chicken. The meat was superb and the sides were even better. We will definitely be back!

What a little gem of a place. The menu isn't extensive, but there's enough variety for all but the pickiest gourmands. The staff are fantastic, as is the food. Definitely a place to revisit sooner rather than later!

Fabulous Sunday lunch today (15 October). We both had roast beef, which was cooked perfectly (slightly pink), lovely selection of vegetables, including cauliflower cheese. Roast potatoes were amazing and there was mash as well. We eat out a lot and this was the best Sunday lunch we’ve had in years. The service was excellent, very friendly staff. We couldn’t fault a thing, 10/10. We will be back to try the evening menu next time.

Excellent welcome for us and the Spaniel. Quickly shown to a table in the bar and our drinks order taken and served at the table. Menu was compact but good choice. Order taken quickly and the food was excellent. Will definitely return.

Perfection! After a warm welcome from Oliver, we sat in the bar for an aperitif. When we moved into the attractive restaurant we found the the staff to helpful, friendly, accommodating and efficient. The new Autumn menu offered some inventive and tempting options. Our meal was plentiful and utterly delicious. We’d strongly recommend the ham hock terrine with pickled beetroot salad starter, the pan-fried salmon fillet with sautéed vegetables, jasmine rice and yellow Thai curry sauce, and the hand made pie, packed full of tender steak and encased in melt in the mouth pastry. The desert menu was very tempting but, after our two delicious courses, we just couldn’t manage one. Next time…..! Many thanks to all at The Swan. Tessa and Marie.

New menu, and it’s got even better. A proper pub menu, all the things you would expect, and a few nice treats to showcase the face chef really can cook! Midweek dinner, 2 burgers and a salmon with some tempura vegetables. Burger had some real weight, superbly presented, good enough to photograph, 2 juicy patties, burger sauce, American cheese. Banging ! Salmon got a great review too, just look at it! Menu had pie, steak, veggie options, salad and burger. Well done again team !

We were a party of 6 people, the staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. They went way above and beyond to make our lunch perfect. The food is out of this world with taste and quality. The selection is so varied that it is hard to choose something as everything sounds amazing. We had the most memorable lunch and will definitely come again when next in the area.
