The Swan at Southrop in Cotswold

Excellent experience. Friendly, accommodating staff, best vegan main I've had! Everyone else in the party had brilliant food. Good selection of beverages. Compliments to the chef and the team!

Really good food. Best gastro pub I've been to for a while. Lamb was outstanding

We just had a delicious, generous and inexpensive dinner. The service was perfect and the food was by far better than our hotel, The Wild Rabbit. We will recommend to our friends in London.

We went to The Swan for Sunday roast recently. We ordered three courses. The real issue was with the mains - one of us ordered a beef roast and, while some bits were fine/rare, some bits of the meat were just raw and inedible. The rest of the mains (veg), starters and desserts were average but I'd expect better given the price. It's nice on the inside although it was a bit dead when we were there (probably because we had a late lunch). Staff were friendly, and we did get a dessert thrown in for the raw beef - not sure if that's fair or not given the beef was almost untouched, but we appreciated the gesture. Overall, we probably won't come back. There are plenty of nice pubs in the area which do better food for the price paid. I hope things improve as it there's lots of potential.

Thank you all for a great evening😊 We’ll be back!

Very good food, music too present... and table in the back room... too bad!

We used to go here a lot and loved it but hadn’t been for a while. Local friends had advised us that the restaurant had slipped but we went anyway. What a disappointment. The restaurant was not even half full at 7pm on a weeknight during the Christmas break which should have told us all we needed to know when places like the lamb in Burford and the lamb at Crawley are (rightly) full to bursting. The portion sizes were tiny (4 stalks of broccoli is a portion apparently), they had run out of burgers and the main course fish dish was tiny, more like a starter portion. The vegan burger was also very small while the fillet steak was priced at £49 (we didn’t have that). We came home and had a bowl of cereal each because we were so hungry having had a three course meal (and no, we don’t have enormous insatiable appetites - we have never done this before - ever!). It is such a shame as this had been such a lovely place to go. Now it’s a rip off. I appreciate food prices have risen but portion sizes here are a fraction of those anywhere else. We left at 10am - the place was empty. The waitresses were lovely and the service was prompt but that’s not enough to bring us back, sadly.

Christmas Eve lunch for 15 people. Excellent food, served well, in timely manner. Service attentive and friendly. Lovely place to have in the village. Thank you.

Magic. Still magic. Live music event coming on the evening of 22nd December 2023.

We had excellent burgers and steak here on a Friday night, great meal overall. Returned on Saturday to watch rugby, despite saying they were showing it, wasn't on any of the TV screens and also no food available. I would recommend booking a sit-down meal here rather than chancing it.

We had a great dinner. The food tastes awesome. The service is great and always there if something is needed. I would have preferred a bigger offer of local beers but what we got was great.

Totally overpriced for the quality and quantity of the dishes. Very dissapointed.

Very slow service (it was Friday and they were busy). They squeezed us in as we didn’t have a reservation. We ordered wine at the same time as our meal. The wine never arrived, and we couldn’t flag down a server. In the end it was a “sorry”, and that’s all. Disappointing.

What a find. Never thought of booking here before but so glad we did. Excellent location beautifully clean. Staff amazing and the breakfast is very good. We'll definitely be here often thank you

Amazing quality food and very friendly and accommodating staff!!

A lovely quiet dinner. Food was simple and tasty. Staff were fabulous 👌

Delicious and refined pub food in a cozy atmosphere! Our server Matt was very attentive and charming; he brought our food in record time and kept drinks full and flowing. Will definitely be back.

Great all round experience. Funny looking waiter - think his name was Matt, but attentive and hardworking nonetheless.

We went for Sunday lunch at the Swan, a party of six. Really sad to have to write such a bad review of this pub, which I know was closed for a while and has only just reopened. But our experience was terrible. We ordered some veggie roasts, roast beef, and one of our party has a few dietary requirements (no soy, dairy or gluten - which we told the pub when the booking was made). Everything was fine until the food arrived. The veggie roasts (price £20) arrived as pictured - that is just a plate of veg without anything to accompany it. When I asked if there was a 'roast' to accompany the vegetables, I was told 'sorry, I forgot to tell you we ran out of veggie roasts'. Extraordinary to think someone thought we wouldn't have noticed the main event missing from our meal, or have thought that it was acceptable to simply provide a plate of veg without explanation. We sent them back and ordered again, but what followed was food that is less than good than what you'd get in Wetherspoons, at more than double the price. The member of our group with dietary requirements asked the waitress to check with the kitchen that she was able to eat what she ordered, but this didn't happen. The beef burger she ordered without the bun did come - but what arrived was just two beef patties and chips with no garnish or anything else, and no attempt whatsoever to make the dish presentable, or ask if she wanted anything else in lieu of what she couldn't eat. A real bargain at £16. The roast beef was actually very good, and that prevents this review getting 1 star. That was the saving grace but only one dish out of six ordered. The house ale was also excellent. I could go on but you probably get the picture. The pub has been redone and is very plush inside, and feels very 'gastro' (eg the traditional pub games room replete with skittles has gone and been replaced with more dining areas). If a place is trying to be a gastro pub with the prices to match, you'd expect good quality food. I'm afraid this really wasn't our experience. The staff did take off the service when requested but this didn't really make up for our very bad experience, and to be honest they didn't really seem that bothered. Really sad to have to write this as this could be a great pub, and is in a lovely village, which needs its local pub to be a thriving part of the community. But so much needs to improve.

The roast veg and potatoes had been cooked a long time ago and kept warm so was chewy and dry . Fish cakes lacked taste . Service was slow . Beer good.

I'm sure one of the girls working here worked at the white horse in Exford. Both times randomly cycle touring through for a thirst quenching shandy.

Looked like a lovely village pub, bright and welcoming, nice outside area, despite the smell. Only had a drink as their kitchen was closed.

Tasty food, helpful and friendly staff - love the new decor! Go and check it out!

The Swan was our favourite pub in the Cotswold, we have so many happy memories, we celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, shared lovely meal with friends, we really loved this place . We were delighted to know it had reopened and we went back to celebrate my birthday a few of weeks ago. It was a real disappointment . The refurb is unfortunately a bad attempt to modernise what once was a stunning rustic, cosy and traditional pub dining room. The room is now a bland beige naked space with some debatable art hanging on the walls. The food was never cheap at the Swan but, equally, we never walked away once thinking that we were overcharged. The food, the menu variety and the service all matched the price tag. Unfortunately this is not the case anymore. Food was okish, nothing as it used to be, a very limited menu and an average but yet expensive wine list. Service was good, the lady serving our table was sweet and attentive. It’s a shame they decided to swap a winning concept to offer a below average experience instead. I really hope they will soon realise it was a mistake and go back to their formal glory (and paint the walls in a darker colour😉) , then we might be back.

Beautiful setting, we had a private room for a table of 10. Food was largely very good, maybe just short of excellent - the competition in the Cotswolds is massive though. Great pints and service was also good. Lovely atmosphere in the front of the pub which is very traditional, and also a garden at the back for when it's warmer. Had the beef cheek, which was very good although preferred the look of the burger and the fish and chips which was a huge portion!

Whilst the ambiance was very pleasant, the Gin and Tonic I had, has to have been the most disgusting I've ever had. The Gin I noticed came out of a flowery bottle and the tonic - suposedly normal tonic - was of a name I've never heard of - TW marked on it. The drink was garnished with something which looked vaguely like s slice of orange. None of this would have mattered had it tasted like a G&T. I was expecting a familiar Gin such as Gordon's or whatever and a familiar tonic such as Fever Tree or at worst Schweppes! I feel conned and let down. I will not return of my own volition but unfortunately I'm sure I will be invited by others but I shall be much more careful about ordering something which sounds familiar. I wonder how they would destroy a Martini!

This used to be a firm favourite a few years ago, so I was looking forward to seeing it up and running again after a long period of being closed. Sadly it was disappointing. As with all the pubs in this area, you go expecting to pay close to £20 for a main course. But when you order a vegetarian pasta that arrives as a tiny portion, made with shop bought spaghetti and very few ingredients, it doesn't feel justified in the slightest.

Fantastic Sunday roast & wonderful atmosphere

Nice for drinks but locals definitely had priority! Won't visit again.

Wow what a treat, beautiful place, lovely decor and ambiance. Food was great. Really friendly pleasant staff, very welcoming. Very clean.

Lovely english pub, well gastro pub, with glorious fire and grate service. Some dishes were really good and others had tried too hard to be different (ie the potted shrimps were too hot both physically and herbaly) so don't order without discussing with the staff.

We returned to The Swan for the first and as it turned the last since its reopening last night. We sat on a table of 6 and were left with only a jug of tap water for nearly 15mins without being asked if we wanted any drinks. The waitress came to take our food order and only then after asking, were drinks discussed. It appears they have 1 cider, 1 lager and 2 beers on tap. Make of that what you will. Food was ordered and after a normal wait, starters arrived. These were OK, French onion soup and soufflés. Main courses arrived in due course, burgers, chicken Kiev and vegan burgers. The vegan burgers were very much back to the old days of vegan burgers, no flavour and pretty uninspiring to look at One vegan burger bun was so hard it was inedible. This was communicated to the waitress who apologised and said that wasn't acceptable. Mains were finished and the bill requested. Perhaps I should of made more of a fuss as the bill arrived fully loaded with no reduction for the below par food and the full service charge included. Bill duly paid and we left. If this is the level at which The Swan wishes to run at, it will not be having many returning customers judging by other reviews and certainly not us

Great food and service in calm atmosphere

Gorgeous, old pub with a cosy fire. The food was delicious and staff were friendly. Dogs allowed. I would recommend!

If you want a wonderful country pub or a restaurant atmosphere you will be sadly disappointed. The Swan definitely has an identity crisis. Garish décor and bad lighting makes it feel like a 1980s sitting room and the atmosphere is more of a cafe aspiring to be posh. (Think of an evening with Mrs Bucket). Fantastic fires though. Menu is short and uninspiring which was a shame but the food was good. Drinks choices are limited - a very basically stocked bar. Closes early - last drinks orders at 10.15 pm with the staff actively pushing us out of the door before 11 pm - Not what you want for a Saturday night supper with friends. According to the manager - "they are trying to do things differently". I am not sure who they are trying to please.

Arrived for lunch 10 minutes late and was criticised by the GM even though there is a 20 minute grace period. The Sunday roast menu was limited so we opted for the veggie roast which is essentially Yorkshire pudding and roast vegetables for £20. £6 off the meat option. It lacked flavour and substance. After an unfulfilling lunch we chose the apple crumble for dessert, the crumble had no bite and the apple was basically purée. Very disappointed after driving 50 mins for a Cotswolds lunch. The Bull at Langford is a far better choice. I will not be returning to The Swan. 2 stars as the decor was ok and our waitress was accommodating.

Lovely pub,very nice food and nice people

Excellent food, great service - one of the best pubs around.

I guess it's ok if you like a restaurant. If you like to go to a Pub. Like so many local village pubs, it is. Then sadly you will be disappointed. The owners of these gastro pubs needs to remember the history of the buildings they are changing and the impact on the local community. Travel down the road to The Keepers at Quenington. You'll find the perfect ballance of really good food and a quality local pub atmosphere.

What a beautiful pub and we were so excited to see it reopen. We took some friends over to watch the football on Saturday evening, lovely set up in the Carousel to watch. Simple menu of burger or fish and chips. We had the fish which was watery and undercooked and we both left over half our meals uneaten. To be honest it looked like it had been thrown together. Mushy peas were watery. Not what you would expect. We mentioned this to the waiter when he cleared and he said he would let the kitchen know. We heard no more. Disappointing for such a wonderful pub. Bar staff were 🤩 could t fault ambiance or bar but food was definitely under par.

Superb. Probably the best pub food in the area. Desserts could be a little more imaginative, but everything was beautifully served and perfectly cooked and the prices are reasonable. Service is excellent too. My only worry is the unprotected candles on the tables. I twice had to move something out of the flame, including a sprig of dried flowers which had fallen over on the next (empty) table.

Great lunch, good menu, good service, and nice ambience. Only one disappointment, No EXPRESSO machine!!! No lunch is complete without an expresso!!

Really disappointed. The food took over an hour to come. The table next to us were informed of this and their food came before ours despite having been there and ordered our food 15 minutes before them. Felt we were treated like 2nd class citizens as we didn’t know George the bar man and that we are a younger couple with a baby. Had to go to the bar to order a drink and the food was brought when we weren’t at the table. Luckily there was 50% off food & we didn’t pay the service charge. Won’t be returning

Loved our dinner! Thank you so much. The soufflé followed by the pork was perfect. It was great to have a local wine too. Will be back as soon as we can get a table!

Delicious lunch and so good to have this wonderful pub open again!

Beautiful hamlet - good for after dinner walk. The interior of this restaurant is right up my alley. It's cozy and casual but full of posh country elegance. The food and drink is slightly more expensive than other pubs. The menu is original, served with local ingredients and more refined than any country pub I know in the area. Everything on the plate is well thought out and not just fussy food but high quality and tasty. I find the food is well seasoned and fresh. It is a place where posh people go and a bit pricy and for those reasons, people are overly harsh in their assessment. But where else in the cotswolds can you sip a 6GBP pint whilst admiring a supermodel and listening to a family argue whether their travels through Southeast Asia were superior to their travels through East Asia.

I know of no other pub like it in terms of food quality. Seasonal, local offerings. Pints are cold in the charming bar.

Still closed - maps said was open. Cycled miles to get there and all shuttered up!

Very chic restaurant that belongs to the Thyme Hotel and its in the middle of the village. Very nice, cozy and lots of fun on the weekend. It’s one of the restaurants of the Cotswolds to be! Really nice dishes made from fresh products cultivated by them. Had a very nice garden parsley soup, an awesome roasted partridge and a classical sticky toffee pudding. Everything great. Service was great also. Really good ambience

Restaurante muy chic que pertenece al Thyme Hotel y está en el medio del pueblo. Muy agradable, acogedor y muy divertido el fin de semana. ¡Es uno de los mejores restaurantes de los Cotswolds! Platos realmente agradables elaborados con productos frescos cultivados por ellos. Tenía una sopa de perejil de jardín muy agradable, una perdiz asada increíble y un pudín de caramelo pegajoso clásico. Todo genial. El servicio también fue excelente. Muy buen ambiente

Otro pub / restaurante que fue recomendado.La decoración y el ambiente eran geniales.Las bebidas y la comida estaban en la parte alta, pero eso no nos desanimó, ya que nos habían dicho que este era un lugar excepcional para comer.Elegimos el Chicken Pie para dos, a los 35 esperábamos un gran pastel.No era un pastel en el verdadero sentido, era pollo en salsa, bastante ordinario, con una parte superior de hojaldre.Una botella de vino de menor precio dejamos 100 más liviana, decepcionada

A beautiful and comfortable setting for a meal. Service was good and food nicely presented, just the right size and tasty.

Piense que la comida promedio y un poco caro resume mi experiencia. Ensalada de cangrejo que carece de mucho cangrejo y risotto simplemente tibio. Luego 20 más para una caballa con algunas verduras, un poco caliente. Se había quedado sin cordero para una reserva anticipada, bistec nada especial, patatas fritas y no crujientes.Servicio bien y excelente ambiente, pero no volvería apresuradamente, muchos lugares mejores en la zona.

I found the bar waitress rude and offhand. The food overpriced and the soup tasteless. I guess I chose an off day

After a recommendation we booked at The Swan for dinner, after a long wait trying to get a pre dinner drink at the bar we sat , One of us had mussels ok but very small , mussels should always be a decent size bowl , I had Rillettes which was tiny again and more like a soggy quenelle ? We both had the Chateau Briand again ok but not on a hot serving dish so was cold half way through ! and actually undercooked rare not med-rare .. vegetables carrots and brussels sprouts ok but could have been a little more adventurous .... no serving spoons with the Bearnaise sauce or vegetables .The house red carafe was not great , it is easy to buy good house wine ! We didn't want anything else ... The Bill about £145 including a %12.5 service charge . NOT value for money for a dinner which actually pretty straight forward to prepare. Trust me I am a restaurateur !

A simple menu, lovely surroundings but not a patch on the ox barn across the road!!! Excellent for family’s more than cuisine obsessed couples!!!

Lovely Sunday lunch, delicious roast, excellent service, lovely atmosphere

We visited The Swan over Christmas and had the most beautiful meal. The property was beautifully decorated with fairy lights and the staff were really welcoming. We ordered the chateaubriand to share and it was incredible- our favourite meal of our holiday. We swapped the roast potatoes for truffle fries and the vegetables for salad and it was absolutely perfect. We visited at night but would love to go back in the day as the village of Southrop looked really lovely and we'd be excited to try other Thyme properties. Real bonus that they allow dogs in the restaurant at The Swan too :)

My family went for a meal here over the Christmas period. It is a very highly recommend place in this area so we were all expecting great food. The food was perfectly acceptable if you were paying £12-15 for a main but as the prices of our meals were £24-35 we were all quite disappointed with the standard of cooking. Everything was very bland, and lacked any real flavour or seasoning. The waitress was also inattentive and generally quite short with all of us. For a meal of that money we all expected far better. We won’t be coming back. Shame because my family came here 4/5 years ago and it was a stand out fantastic meal. I feel they are a little more style over substance now.

We live very near to this lovely pub/restaurant, but have never been there to eat. As a surprise my husband treated me before we set off for Christmas. Everything was good and the place was full so plenty of pre-Christmas atmosphere.Staff - courteous and attentiveFood - excellent and hot, just as we like itAmbience - warm and welcomingWill definitely go again.

To be honest there wasn't a huge amount of choice for a vegetarian so I ended up having two starters which were nicely average. It's a shame because the pub was lovely. Maybe November isn't a great time to sample a vast menu because it's quiet

It was nice, had a bit of a stuffy atmosphere to it, mostly due to the flavour of customers it appears to draw all dressed up as if they were at some fancy restaurant, not a pub, and that was a shame as the staff were great as was the food and drink. Not a cheap pub lunch but a quality one with a price tag to match!

Fantastic food and really warm and welcoming service

Food and atmosphere was wonderful! Great service and the history of the build is amazing. Very small place so make sure you make reservations, you will love this place.

Just had a wonderful Sunday lunch. I had the game terrine for starter which was excellent.for mains my partner had the chicken which she enjoyed a very tasty I had the best with all the trimmings which was very enjoyable for dessert my partner had the sticky toffee pudding which she said was the best she's ever had I had the sourdough bread and butter pudding which was very light and very tasty.

I’ve been here many a time as my uncle lives in the village..

have been several times before, so expectations were high, but alas left disappointed and embarrassed. Saturday night dinner was supposed to be a thank you for good friends (he being an ex-chef), but not as anticipated.

My husband and I were staying in an air bnb next to this pub so decided to eat there one night. The restaurant had a lovely cozy feeling to it and he decor was nice. It wasn’t overly busy and the atmosphere was good. I ordered the beetroot risotto which I really enjoyed. I would also recommend the ice cream as well. My husband ordered the fish cakes, they were ok but nothing special. Portions are very small which is fine if you are not too hungry. The service was good and the waiters and waitresses were very attentive. This place has very mixed reviews but we liked it and would return.

We came as a big business group and were very well looked after. Lovely friendly staff who were polite and efficient. The food was truly excellent and the finest of English pub grub, served as sharing bowels and individual plates. To call the food pub grub is to understate the quality and taste which were of the highest order. Highly recommended!

The Swan is an excellent location for lunch or dinner. The dining room is charming, the staff are delightful and the food is very good. Highly recommended.

Would highly recommend this pub. Lovely food, great environment, and the staff were delightful. Really welcoming. Also family friendly. And only place we found that served food during the afternoon! Everywhere locally seemed to close between 3 and 6, while this place had a good sized bar menu available all day as well as a kids menu - perfect.

Had 1 lovely meal here and one lousy one. For the latter, the food took 45 mins to arrive and the lamb burgers appear to have been kept warm for a long time and were dry.

Lovely old pub in a quintessential Cotswold village. Staff were welcoming and knowledgable as we ordered, telling us where various ingredients had come from. We started with a very good Scotch egg and followed with Sunday lunch. The locally grown roast beetroot was amazing. I think you need to book as it was very busy and most tables were reserved.

Stunning pub, beautiful interior, great menu - I wish I could have had one of everything!

The food was adequate but nothing special. When I questioned why the chocolate mousse did not have any homemade honeycomb, the ingredient that would have made it unique, I was told they they did not have any and had reduced the price. Why I was not told when ordering is beyond me. We felt very rushed by the waitress.

What a beautiful Hotel. Lovely contemporary menu and great food. Service was excellent. Don't miss Thyme Hotel one of the best kept secrets in The Cotswolds

Stopped off for lunch on a trip through to Wales and am so glad we did. Friendly welcome and shown to a pretty, shaded table in the sunny courtyard with a water bowl brought for our dog. Great scotch egg to share and then two minute steaks with a beautiful flower strewn salad and great fries. A perfect soda water and angustura bitters came with a real straw straw. Loved this. A carafe of red wine was just right. All in all a great stop off and I will definitely be back. The service was, btw, perfect.

Lovely pub - great food - friendly staff. Really cozy. Would definitely recommend a visit particularly if staying at their hotel down the road, Thyme.

The Swan is a part of a highend boutique hotel called the Thyme and is nicely set with good service and great food. The chicken pie was super as was the steak and salads. Very popular and reservations, especially at dinner are recommended.

Amazing however Way above my budget

It is unlike us to eat at the same place night after night but we ended up eating at The Swan for the entirety of our stay at Thyme. It has the perfect combination of comfort, yummy tasty fresh food (with great gluten free options), and good cocktails and wine selection. All at a good price. Recommend!

We loved everything about The Swan, from its stylish decor, excellent service, reasonable pricing & imaginative food. There's a pretty courtyard garden at the back & plenty of seating inside. The young & enthusiastic staff couldn't have been nicer; definitely worth a special trip.

You have to be very lucky to avoid their voicemail. They seldom call back .

Across from our stays Thyme at Southrop, we leisurely walked across the street to The Swan - great selection of spirits, beautifully decorated comfortable interior, quality of the food also extremely superb. You will not be disappointed either in services, food quality, selection of drinks as well as your times spent here reading and killing time.

The food was very good, fresh and delicious, the portions was large. We tried most of the starters and a few of the main dishes. Highly recommend and we will definitely go back!

This pub used to be very atmospheric and serve good food at a reasonable price.

I went here with a friend who was making a repeat visit. The menu is very varied and the portion sizes fine. I can imagine if you like hearty food that people in some cases might find the portion small for a starter but for a two course meal that is fine.We parked outside and it was pouring with rain so I can't say what other parking was available. Our waitress brought a carafe of tap water without being asked which is a pleasant change

Difficult one to review this one, the place is in a fantastic setting, very comfortable inviting interior and we had a very good welcome. But the main thing you are there for is the food, this is where is gets a little negative and I agree with some of the previous reviews given. Food is actually good, but it is still a pub, and it must be said the prices are very expensive, and does not match the standards served. Service and staff were friendly and attentive, but value for more is certainly not there.

Nice food. Service was a bit slow. It was a shame that the plate of Vegan food wasn't cleared away.

Six friends went for dinner. The service was fine - the staff are good enough. The food...well it’s one of those annoying places that serves meagre portions for no obvious reason other than to simply be cheap. The menu also has you guessing what may accompany your main meal in terms of vegetables etc. There’s a long list of ‘extras’ to be ordered but when I buy a meal I expect the thing to be complete! Nobody ordered any extras, everybody remained hungry after the meal. We could have ordered a bunch of side dishes but I loathe to do that when the main meal already costs so much for what ends up being a rather average plate of food.

We love the Swan but haven’t been since last year and before the renovation. This was a trip over to celebrate our wedding anniversary and from past experience knew we would be in safe hands.

We booked a table at The Swan for Sunday lunch, Having been here before for a birthday we knew the food was fantastic and were looking forward to it. As before the staff and setting were lovely and we ordered the Roast beef.

Delicious meal in charming, comfortable environs. The scotch egg was great, the lobster pasta was tasty and a bit spicy, and the sticky toffee pudding was great. The pavlova was beautiful.

stayed at the Thyme which the Swan is part of. lovely restaurant with good food and wine list. nice vibe to it, Veg food options were limited though

We dined several times at the Swan while staying at Old Walls cottage. The service was very friendly and attentive and the food and drinks were delicious. The fish was cooked beautifully and the hamburger my son had was delicious (amazing tasting local beef). Loved the local ingredients used in all dishes especially desserts (Had an amazing lemon curd, rhubarb pavlova) and cocktails (rhubarb and bramley apple fizz). Ambiance lovely and cosy. Very friendly a towards children and dogs. One of our favourite Cotswolds pubs/restaurants!

We have visited here several times we’ve visited the Cotswolds and it never disappoints.Service is excellent and the food is delicious.Highly recommend for a great British gastropub.

Not been here for a long time and we sat in the garden for a drink in the Spring Sunshine, we could not believe the 'smell' I spoke to one of the staff and she mentioned that there was a smell which was down to the drainage and the smell was unbearable so we left.

Set in an adorable little village The Swan staff were attentive, but not overly, friendly and patient - we had a lot to catch up on and didnt get to decisions quickly. EVERYTHING was delicious. Great portions and great flavors to share amongst friends. You must try to slide dishes, the purple sprouts and buttered greens. Eat the potatoes, stop this incessant of carbs, they are delicious.

Went for a Good Friday lunch with a group of 6 and a baby. The venue was fantastic and we'll presented, the food was excellent and the staff were really accomodating. Would highly recommend.

Extremely friendly greeting, good service and good food.
