We chose to celebrate an 80th Birthday celebration at The Swan as it was half way for us all to meet. We weren't disappointed.The staff were really welcoming and friendly and even provided some birthday candles as id forgotten them! We are from the Saturday pub classics menu. The food was good quality and hot. The chips were really nice. I would recommend and will definitely return 😊

If you can find a better cooked rump steak with peppercorn sauce in leicestershire or surrounding please let me know, and that goes without mentioning the excellent value, and being on my doorstep. Well done the Swan

The food is really average. I had high expectations after reading all the great reviews and after checking the prices in the menu. I ordered a swan burger and if I was to describe my meal with 2 words it would have to be: greasy and unhealthy. The chips were greasy, the onion rings were soaked with oil and not at all tasty, the burger was really average in flavour. It was really nothing different to a burger that you would get in any standard gastropub where you would normally pay £12.50, instead here I paid £17 for it. My son's chicken nuggets were also nothing special, and tasted like the ones from Tesco's café. I'm really disappointed with this place. Maybe we were just unlucky with our meal choices I don't know. On the bright side, the service and the atmosphere were pleasant.

My three companions enjoyed an excellent breakfast. Unfortunately I am surprised that my shakshuka was allowed to leave the kitchen. It had obviously been kept warm under a source of heat for far too long. Forget the egg yolk mixing with the tomato sauce as the yolk was rock hard. Forget the slightly creamy white as it had turned to rubber. Hopefully this was a mistake and not typical of the cooking.

Myself and work colleagues found the Swan while working away for the week, First impression was it looks expensive..... we were welcomed into the pub by the staff and soon felt at home The food is great, massive portions and value for money, we ate at the Swan every night and have already said we will be back there when we are working in the area again in November Overall I would recommend this pub to anyone in the area

We called in on our way back from the Cotswolds and managed to get a table early evening last Saturday. The food was delicious (steak was excellent), staff were friendly and efficient. A lovely pub, clean and nicely furnished. We will definitely go back, well worth a visit and so pleased we found it by chance!

Excellent food, from pie night Monday, Italian Wednesday (their Garlic Bread is superb), and Sunday Lunch is to satisfy anyone, simply a delight. Nice touch was cauliflower/broccoli cheese served in an enamel dish, made with proper cheese! It's our go-to place for superb pub grub!

Arrived with my niece and nephew on Pie night. What a really fortunate combination. We tried 3 different pies and each was packed with delicious meat, lamb/chicken/beef. The mash accompanying our individual just added to the pleasure plus the roast root veg. Service was great, friendly and swift just what we required. I can whole heartedly recommend the Swan if you want to eat tasty food at, in my opinion, very good prices to suit all appetites this is the place.We also enjoyed the range of drinks available, in fact, every part of our experience last evening.

Had a lovely meal with 3 friends. Very quiet that evening so atmosphere couldn't really be judged but it was many years since we visited and were very impressed with the refurbishment lovely food and friendly staff. Unfortunately they had run out of gluten free pasta on the pizza/pasta evening hence only 4 stars given.

The Swan is a lovely country pub in the village of Ullesthorpe, Leics. Steve and his staff are always friendly, the beer is brilliant, I recommend Tribute which is nectar. The food is always beautifully cooked, don’t worry about leaving g hungry as the portion sizes are more than generous AND great value for money. I would count this as a “must visit” pub. Andy Keeble

Had another wonderful night at The Swan Inn again last night. We had the beef ragu lasagne and the nasi goreng. It was amazing! The desserts delicious too. We has a slight wait due to the pub being so busy but it was definitely worth the wait and i would highly recommend it! The staff were always smiling which creates a great atmosphere. We will be going back again today for the Sunday lunch! Thank you very much!

Food was fantastic, a very nice atmosphere and all the staff where friendly and helpful. and had a good selection to cater for various tastes, including the children. I’d recommend the black pudding scotch egg starter and the mushrooms in wine and garlic sauce. ( i think the black pudding scotch egg would be nicer with a sweet chilli jam, but that’s my preference). Looking forward to coming back with friends and Famiy.

We have been a few times but on this occasion we were shown to our table ordered food once we were on our mains nobody came to check our food was ok and we were waiting to order more drinks .. my partner caught the eye of someone taking an order but she never came over after taking that order so we had finished our food when finally we got drinks .. we then could not get anyone's attention to pay the bill so ended up walking to the tills to pay .. We will go again but on this occasion we thought the customer service was not the usual standard .. food was nice as always...

Had a takeaway on Friday 1st of April the worst chicken madras I have ever had, I've been eating curries for over 40 years and this was awful. The base sauce wasn't cooked down it had raw onion and garlic I'm dreading tonight unfortunately. The one I had 3 weeks prior was passable.

Eaten here a couple of times, food excellent in both cases. Yesterday we had two delightful curries with a keema naan and pilau rice. Couldn’t fault it. It would be five stars except it’s really quite expensive. Large G and T with a bitter £14.50!!! Cough….. And even the side dishes like Bombay aloo etc are £5.50 each. I mean £5.50 for a few potatoes and a little spicy sauce? Pretty sure they were £4.50 last visit? So to summarise, lovely food but expensive. Special occasions only for me…..😢

Visited the new Swan to try the Tandoori restaurant, lovely interior and good range of beverages – shame about the clientle of local Travellers crowding the bar area shouting at each other whilst allowing their children to run amok, which me and my wife found to be rather intrusive and intimidating. Curry was ok, little lacking in flavour.

Had a takeaway shortly after they opened and were very impressed, so visited for a meal. The meal and takeaway were superb and full of flavour the only downside for us was that we found it a little noisy with the bar and other diners loudly talking so our conversation was minimal as we found it hard to hear each other and prefer not to shout. So prefer to keep to takeaways , but it remains our go to indian.

Food is reflective of Harborough in general, average but for the price its way below standard, its OK but won't set the imagination on fire but it was the service that was so poor that leaves the bitter taste. Cramped tables in a corridor, food not coming out together and lack of cutlery no offer of another drink extremely over price deserts that would be a pound in lidl. I think the lack of a Michelin restaurant in the town means standard Harborian have no comparison to what a good dining experience is. Think I'm done with the Everest lounge its simply fails to reach the highest peaks of service. My tip, don't ask for one....

Delicious food and the ladies that work there are so friendly and kind. Won't go anywhere else now! Highly recommend the salt and chilli squid, the chilli crispy beef and the Singapore fried rice.
