We stopped with our Motorhome. Great space in the overflow carpark for us. Had dinner for two consecutive nights. The food was good tasty pub food. The roast dinner on the Sunday was superb. Fancy parsnip curls as well. Enjoyable. The service has been second to none and highly recommend. Great sight as well for lovely canal walks. Very dog friendly pub.

We visited a few times recently at lunch time in the week, the fish goujon and steak ciabattas were really nice and top value. Great location, easy parking, very dog friendly. Then went for the Sunday lunch - but very poor, huge slab of very tough beef, a crunchy Yorkshire pudding and horrible pigs in blankets. Simply won’t go again, such a shame, could be so good.

Disgusting attitude from barmaid!!!!! Me and my partner visited for some food during a sunny weekday. My partner had visited before, therefore she knew what she wanted from the menu and I chose whilst at the bar awaiting service. Due to this we had not chosen a table or had a table number, granted this is what's required on order. We stated to the tall young blonde barmaid, to situate us on any outside table at all (as they were all unoccupied) the barmaid then proceeded to be extremely rude stating "I asked you for a table number" and "I am not going outside to look on my own". Nevertheless, I went to look for a table number quickly and came back with one. As my partner went to tap her card, the extremely rude bar maid proceeded to make the sly comment "smile" to my partner. I could not believe she had said this in the manner she did, which was quite passive aggressive. Due to the fact the barmaid not knowing at all my partner and making this comment was beyond me. Something may of taken place in personal lives or a tragic event may of happened recently, and the barmaid proceeded to say "smile" the way she did was disgusting. Granted, the food was lovely but that barmaid needs to have an attitude check the way she spoke to my partner today. I shall not be recommending this place to eat and not returning here due to the rudeness from the barmaid.

Had an amazing roast beef meal which was wonderful to look at and very well cooked. There was ample meat, lots of vegetables a large yorkshire pudding which was topped with parsnip chips The cook was Shannon and she did a great job.

We had previously past Fradley Junction on a boat but had no option to stop there last year. We thought we would drive the 30 odd miles just to visit in out of peak season. I will not waste your time on a long review so in summary. Bar Staff: Just one person on duty. Helpful. Pleasant. Polite. Could not fault him. Impressions: Lounge area; rather small, very stuffy and clearly an aged place. Little natural light. Facilities: Gents toilet 10/10. Ladies toilet is not so good. 7/10 Food: Oh my word!!! Of our two meals, one had to be sent back as inedible. Chunky chips appeared to have been reheated a few times.... at least once. They were just OK but certainly not fresh. Ham and egg was OK but could be better by using a better quality dry cured ham. The lasagne was truly awful and that is being kind. Reheated, dry, rubbery and tasteless. This ruined our visit. Disappointed indeed. Summary: On reflection this may be a nice place to sit out on a warm evening watching the boats go by. I would never recommend the food though. It was clearly produced quickly and in large volumes to cater for the hoards of visitors in Summer.

A great location but the food was mediocre at best, we ordered hunters chicken with chips salad and coleslaw. When the food arrived it looked unimpressive the chicken looked ok but when we tried it not so good, it was over cooked and very dry and tough. The chips were of the frozen variety and not very good. The so called salad was a miniscule serving accompanied by a small pot (just bigger than a thimble) of a red cabbage coleslaw. The drinks were ok, the service was reasonable. At a total cost of £35 for two below average pub meals, a pint of bitter and a rather small glass of blackcurrant cordial, left me feeling very disappointed. Will not be returning.

Had my daughter’s 13th birthday party in the cellar room. Absolutely great venue for the occasion. We were allowed to dress the room with banners and balloons etc. pub provided the food which was spot on for what the girls wanted, Thankyou to Harry the chef for putting on an amazing spread. Nothing was too much trouble and the owners catered for everything we needed even down to icecreams! Totally recommend The Swan for any special occasion. Thanks again for making Maisie’s first teenage birthday so special ❤️

Hadn't eaten here for years but wanted somewhere picturesque to take our friend who is over from the US. We were welcomed by a roaring fire and a warm welcome from the manager. We all chose 2 courses for £18. Mushrooms, whitebait, and chicken wings. Generous portions and very tasty. For mains, we had roast beef, pork, and Southern fried chicken burger. The presentation of the roasts was amazing. There was a huge amount of meat, good choice of veg, roast potatoes perfect, and the most lovely Yorkshire pudding. I can honestly say it was the nicest roast I've had in ages. Will definitely be back! Thank you.

We visited this place on 7th and 8th October while moored nearby. Both days the menu choice is very poor. On the 7th we had 1 x spinach and feta pie 1 x steak ciabatta 1 x portion of chips. All food very tasty. Beer nice but short pints seems normal here. Both the lovely ladies serving were very nice and very efficient. On the 8th the menu choices were really poor too. We ended up ordering 1 x squid starter 1 x chicken goujon starter 2 x chips 1 x cheesy garlic bread. All the food was lovely and was served hot but we had to order this as the main meal choices were very limited. The two young ladies on the 8th were overwhelmed by the amount of customers and you had to wait ages to get served. One man kept collecting a few glasses and washing them but served no one. Then the landlady came behind the bar. What a grump. Very good at serving but a bad attitude. She was obviously watching the villa match instead of helping out behind the bar. Overall the food is good and tasty but the choice is dire. Its not a place we would go to if not on our boat and passing. The landlady needs to get off her high horse. The rest of the staff are OK.

Food was great, reception when we got there was very warm and welcoming, drinks delivered with a smile, I had the pound steak and ale pie, best pie ever. Went out for a walk after and back for ice cream later. Will be back asap.

Alec and Lily were welcoming and friendly. Service via app was quick and efficient. Clean tables and a decent pint of beer. Recommended for any passing boater stopping at the junction.
