As ever food was delicious, the asparagus starters were beautifully cooked, between our party we had a mix of mains including the lamb and the beef, omg the melt in your mouth beef! Plenty of veg to accompany and was even offered an extra jug of gravy without asking. Puddings were also excellent (although one of us was so full they kindly boxed up his dessert so he could take it home!) staff were smiling and friendly both at the bar and while seated. Great value and a great lunch for two special days rolled into one. Thanks to all the team for working so hard to make everything so lovely.

Visited The Swan on Sunday 23 Feb, four of us for a roast dinner. We were shown to our table which wasn’t set but were given the menus. We then waited approx 30 minutes before anyone came to take our drinks order. By which time we were ready to place our food order. Our food arrived and we didn’t have any cutlery. I suggested to the waitress we just take it from the next table that was set as no one was sitting there but she said no so we had to wait a good 4/5 mins before our cutlery arrived for our starters. The same happened for each of our courses, food delivered and had to wait for the cutlery so we could eat it, by which time it had started to go cold. One of our friends was given a serving spoon for the desert. Poor service unfortunately. Our food was mediocre, vegetarian main course was like bird food and the three meat roast was just ok. The best meat was apparently the beef! We were disappointed to find out after we tried to order our deserts that the sticky toffee pudding wasn’t available and nor was the brownie! The apple and blackberry crumble was very watery more like a compote with slight sprinkle of crumble. No-one asked if our food was ok and if we needed anymore drinks or anything. We had to go to the bar to ask for the bill. To summarise, nice setting, ambience and location but extremely poor service and mediocre food. Safe to say we didn’t leave a tip!

Absolutely brilliant! Unassuming beautiful pub in a quiet village with very friendly staff and amazing food. 9 of us for dinner all had different dishes and everyone was perfect. Steaks were amazing and cooked exactly as requested. Seabass was a good size and cooked to perfection. Sauces were full of flavour and the sides and starters were just as good. Deffo coming back.

Attended a private function at The Swan. It’s a lovely pub, much bigger than it looks from the outside. Cosy traditional feel around the bars. Lots of room for dining. The catering was lovely with a particularly special Lasagne 👌🏾. The staff were very friendly an no request was too much for them to handle. I will be back in the summer to experience the large garden area at the back with its own bar area.

The venue is nice the water was very amenable and polite. My steak was inedible due to I believe being fried…. Sent it back expecting not to be charged however was with only a small amount removed. After arriving home and checking the receipt I Discovered that I was massively overcharged by doubling up on items and two additions that were nothing to do with our table. I asked for this to be rectified and to honest the bare minimum was refunded the steak was still charged and the same rate and the 10% service charge not accounted for. I would suggest anyone visiting needs to be very cautious about charging especially when it is sorted properly even after pointing it out. Shame really Could have been rectified with some basic customer focused response.

First time eating at the Swan for a little while. But it was good, it has improved from a year ago. When I thought the food lacked a bit of seasoning. I had mussels followed by lamb and could not fault it. £6.50 for two scoops of ice cream is a bit steep, but I guess this is the norm nowadays. Looking forward to returning soon.

Heard about a brass band evening here, so even though I'm not a fan of brass bands per se, decided to go along and see what it was. Well, what an amazing evening. A very talented band provided entertainment in the cozy garden area and later inside the pub. We had pizza which was really good and refreshing beers. Maybe not the cheapest place, but the quality was worth it. Friendly helpful staff makes all the difference in my opinion. Will definitely go there again.

A lovely pub tucked away in the pretty village of Braybrook, a short driving distance from Market Harborough and about ten minutes from the A14. We visited for Sunday lunch and I must admit I did struggle to park as the small car park to the front was rammed . Food and service was excellent and the pub interior was a mixture of old and new. The roast dinner we had was thoroughly enjoyed and arrived piping hot. No complaints at all.

Eight of us ,two of them were children went for a Sunday lunch for my sons 21st birthday. The interior was lovely, very comfortable chairs and open fireplace, you could say very cosy. We got the drinks and ordered a food , after one hour of wait , waitress ask if we want more drinks ,we asked about the food, and she said it will come out soon. After another 30 minutes of wait , we checked with the staff again. The food was served and was cold , plates were not consistent and gravy had a specific non traditional flavour. Our frustration was obvious so the waitress offered us curtesy tea and coffee, by the way we had two children at the table. We were offered the cheapest drinks in the house to compensate their poor service. One more think we ordered desert and they missed one ordered by the younger child, he was not impressed. The staff were dismissive and non engaging, non came to check on us , there were running around , looked mess.

The venue and location are very nice however: Menu fairly small, maybe due to Christmas run up. Disappointing, haven't been for a long time. Dish we ordered wasn't available, felt bog standard steak and ale pie was over priced. Would very much like a lighter option. Such as sandwiches.

The pub is nice but the meal was a bit meh. "warm artisan bread" was cold and almost stale... The Christmas pie was nice but the chips were 5 mins after the pie. The pot of tea had barely half a cup and I had to ask for the milk by which time the tea was cold :(. We ordered a pudding but it didn't show up.... We gave up! And for 63 quid it seemed a bit pricey :( Staff were pleasant but over worked. Made nicer by lovely warm fire and live Christmas music from Playing Card Productions but wouldn't hurry back for a meal:(

Cod, chips & mushy peas. Tried this place for the 1st time for a Fish n Chips Friday based on the reviews. The Service was good & the people around were smiley & friendly. Sadly the chips were a little chewy, maybe the oil was getting old, who knows. 🤔 Can't be sure l if the fish I got was even a cod. The batter was OK but the fish itself didn't have the texture or taste of a Cod and felt as fresh as as snotty hanky Best part of the meal were the bright green mushy peas.

Such a welcoming place for all. The locals make you feel so welcome and the barstaff are second to none. I popped in for one with the dog on a Saturday afternoon, I ended up getting a taxi home just after midnight. My half wasn't impressed, but the following weekend he did the same. Needless to say, we're regulars now. I can't recommend the Harlequin highly enough, a pub on the up which says it all in the present economic climate.
