Situated on the main road through Whalley centre. A large pub with lots of seating. Very quiet when we visited. I had fish and waffle chips with garden peas and it was very nice. I'd definitely recommend the waffle chips, very crispy, much better than normal chips. My partner had the fish wrap and he enjoyed that. It's just a pity there wasn't more people as it lacked atmosphere.

Sticky tables, and chairs in bar area stained, had to move to another table, chairs OK and table only slightly sticky. My jacket potato looked like it had been cooked and reheated, it was big but left the skin and part of the potato as hard and dry. The chilli filling was more like a sauce accompaniment, very runny and not much of it, worst meal I have had for a long time. My partners beefburgers and chips was OK, but again not the best. Won't recommend or be back unfortunately

We recently attended a wedding in Whalley, and chose to stay at The Swan afterwards. We really enjoyed our stay here, the rooms are so, so lovely and the staff were wonderful - just the right balance of helpful, professional and attentive, with a good dose of humour thrown in. The breakfast was great, with an excellent choice of cereal, fruit and cooked food, which was delicious. The pub has a really good atmosphere too. We would definitely stay again and sincerely recommend if your looking for somewhere to stay in Whalley.

Stayed over at The Swan in December. Car park entrance could be better explained on the website. You have to enter car park from Accrington Road and not from the main hotel Entrance on King Street. This is a pub in an old building, so expect it to be a little tired in places. Room was a decent size and bed was comfortable. I couldn't find a way to increase the heating, so could have been a little warmer. I ate evening meal in the bar area which was fine. My main concern was that the fire door on the landing was permanently propped open, day and night. It had not just been propped open for a few minutes for cleaning, but was propped open throughout my stay. This is especially concerning as there was a sign saying there are no staff on duty during the night. I do not like to mark a place down but feel that such serious failings need highlighting.

Sticky floors and tables, not that clean. Not great selection of coffees and no milk alternatives. Glasses weren’t cleaned and found something black floating in my drink. Pretty disappointing so we decided not to eat there. Door in women’s toilet made an awful noise when opened and closed, could do with some WD40. Staff weren’t the nicest and seemed like they didn’t want to be there. Table was wobbly and the menus were dirty. Dog friendly though.

Popped into here after visiting the crafty market and I can say that I doubt we would return. The Sunday lunch was tasteless, the meat looked dry and it was, the potatoes tasted of nothing, and if it wasn’t the gravy we would left it as that made the plate edible

We arrived (staying 2 nights). Had some lunch on arrival carling line had clearly not been cleaned or used. No room cleaning or house keeping. Had to go and buy toilet roll before returning after 1 night. On our last night the staff were lovely and the food was too. But keep some antihistamines in your bag as all bedding is feathers.

Ordered on app and for some reason drinks don't get sent to the till even though you have paid for them so food came before drinks. Next the mashed buttery potato was likely cement literally...... Wouldn't recommend lets hope the Eaton mess is better ..... So we ordered eaton messwhich states topped with cream. If I wanted ice cream and strawberries I would have asked for just that. Was told it was basically our fault for ordering off the app and not at the bar as they ran out of cream wtffffff........ And was told it's not her problem. No wonder she's cross eyed probably been punched in the past for the way she speaks to customers... Hahaha now been thrown out for complaining... What a bunch of amateurs ...... Shouldn't have insulted us about ordering and then giving me clay for mash and sort you attitudes out. Guess you won't be in a job much longer after this episode. Straight onto head office...... Following on from your reply..... So it was ok for your chef to insult us and say it was OUR FAULT for not ordering at the bar.... And it wasn't her problem ... You failed to mention that.... And yes because we had had the issue with the drinks and the attitude there again was when asked why it doesn't go through was "It just doesn't" we didn't want to make a fuss. As your CCTV will show I left half the food and all the mash. Also what about the Eaton mess.. ??? I've read some of your other reviews about the place going down and best to be avoided. Wish we had read the reviews before we came .... . As for wanting to come back that was never our intention ..... Would rather eat from a 1 star kebab takeaway lol ..

Got a lot of food for the price, me and my woman got a share plate, about 15 quid and we couldn't finish it, tasted good. Great staff, very polite, definitely would recommend. The area around is beautiful, if you enjoy walking, try an app called alltrails, there's a few walks that end in the area. If you like history, there's an abbey down the road from the 12th century.

We visited the swan over the Easter weekend and found the staff lovely. We were here with family and had a few drinks and we all ate. We found the food lovely and the staff were pleasant and friendly. They were very busy when we arrived however they explained to us that tables were reserved but we were able to sit at them until the other people arrived. We had 4 adult meals and 2 children's meals and they were delicious, the children loved the ice cream sundaes and we really enjoyed our food, we had burgers and sausage and mash. we will definitely be visiting again when we are next in the area.

The worst Sunday roast ever, beef was like boil in the bag, I gave it the dog. The mash was difficult to swallow it was so dry/dense , I think it was a few days old. Even the 10 ml of Gravy couldn’t make it bearable, carrots boiled to oblivion as was the 1 strand of broccoli I got. Roasties we’re ok. If you like a Sunday roast availed this place you will be so disappointed. The person I was with got pesto spaghetti with pine nuts, there wasn’t a pine nut in site.

Called in for a quick bite at lunchtime. Didn’t want much so we just shared a few starters which were absolutely awful. The terrine was ok but the mushrooms and especially the chicken skewers were poor quality and poorly prepared. We should have sent them back tbh but didn’t want a fuss. The staff are nice which the 2 stars are for but the food was as grim as I’ve ever had!

Visited this pub/hotel last Saturday and was very unimpressed, the owner “Sharon” could not stop swearing, when I approached her to ask if she would not mind keeping the bad language quiet I was amazed with the foul mouthed rant that followed offended wasn’t enough of a discription. Beer was flat, food tasteless, toilets were filthy with clear evidence of cocaine use. Best advice is avoid at all costs.

Having used to work in Whalley I'm pretty familiar with the Swan. We went in Friday lunch time about 1:15. 4 ladies in. What beers have you on please, asked I. Got told the lagers on. We've no beers on cause they only went on last night. We ordered the salmon pasta & f,c & ps! Not sparkling I'm afraid. 4 ladies left. 8-10 thirsty looking lads came in, hung around, left. An older lady came in. A couple came in, waited & left. The place wasn't quite warm enough. The staff seemed well meant. £35 is a lot to pay for something not really enjoyed. The payment for parking arrangements are ambivalent. My wife paid £2 unnecessarily. We were told it was nothing to do with the pub. Bit short sighted? Don't think we'll be rushing back! Shame really.

Absolutely terrible. The table hadn't been cleaned in goodness knows how long so much so my arms were sticking to it. Food arrived and was diabolical. The side salad consisted of lettuce and nothing else. An order of Hunters Chicken described on the menu as having " streaky bacon and peas " came with the fattiest piece of back bacon and no peas just some of the unappetizing lettuce slapped on the side. Avoid at all costs if you want some semblance of value for money !!!!

Ordered the Gammon steak and Hunters chicken. Wasn’t over busy but several others in dining and others drinking. Very disappointing meal. The gammon arrived without the egg. Had to go back to the bar to ask for that. By the time it arrived I had finished most of my meal. I certainly would not describe it as a gammon steak. I have seen thicker slices of bacon. It was pretty tasteless and the glaze was bland. The onion rings and tomatoes were dry. Seemed to me they had been cooked much earlier and warmed up for these meals. Please see the pictures. Sauces and condiments brought to table but no salt and pepper. Had to ask for salt. This came after we had started our meal. No member of staff at any time came over to ask how the meal was. Based on this visit I cannot recommend this establishment for its food. On the plus side the chips were very good. The lager was a good pint and reasonably priced. £4.00. Also ample parking at the back of the hotel. Pay and display but you get a refund on this if you use the hotel.

Had a late lunch with a friend and wish I had gone to the chippy! Had mussels to start which were lik rubber! Then the fish and chips came and were the worst I have ever had! Chips were soggy and the fish was definitely not fresh and was like an oil spill! No mushy peas but garden which were just warm! I never complain just ate it cause I was so hungry! My friend enjoyed her starter cauliflower in batter but she did not enjoy her little rocks disguised as scampi! I paid as a treat so wasted almost £30! Will not be eating there again!

The hotel room was clean and tidy, with comfy beds, plenty of towels and storage for clothing. Tea and coffee were available in the room and the plus side for me was the herbal teas on offer, also the bottle of water was a nice touch. The full breakfast in the morning was just the right size with everything you could ask for. There is a car park at the back with free parking for customers staying at the hotel. The pub downstairs looked quite busy when we turned up, but we decided not to sample their drinks or food this time. The only downside was the noise from outside. I didn't realise that Whalley is the night club capital of the Ribble Valley! The single glazed window was not enough to keep the noise out from the party goers outside. Maybe staying any night but a Saturday this may be different. I would use the hotel again but maybe ask for a room at the back of the hotel away from the street noise.
