Bit on the lumpy side. Starter was salmon and prawn. 1st time I came sauce was great. Second none. I'm sure the fish dish is wonderful but the steak I had wasn't so great. Pudding was a delight. Sadly for a Friday it was very quiet

We frequent the swan a lot. And the food and service is excellent. But I must say there Sunday lunch is the best in the area. If you haven’t tried it yet get booked in as it is really popular

What a great find. Spent a couple of nights in the area and found this beautiful pub on TripAdvisor. The service was first class and the food so tasty. Will be heading back as soon as we visit the location again.

We visited The Swan Inn on Wednesday night whilst on holiday from Essex. We stumbled across them whilst browsing for somewhere to eat on google and I can honestly say this place is a real hidden gem! Highly recommend to anyone but make sure you book as it was really busy. The starters were absolutely beautiful, the best Halloumi fries we have ever eaten. The Salt & Pepper Squid and the Whitebait were delicious. Our main meals were huge so make sure you are hungry! The Battered Cod was incredible, the BBQ chicken and bacon burger was humungous and the Fish Pie was so packed with fish it was the best we've ever tasted! Our youngest child is very fussy and they couldn't do enough to accommodate her. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and we will definitely go again when we are back up this way!!!

Wow, came across the Swan by chance, but so very glad we did. We were given a really friendly welcome and our experience just kept on improving from there. A good selection of drinks, including local ales and a great menu running alongside that. I had the monkfish tails in garlic butter - they were delicious. My wife had the tempura prawns as a main and was delighted. Friends had the fish pie and burger respectively and very much enjoyed them. Only downside is that we were only in the area for a few days so couldn’t revisit. I can, however, definitely recommend the Swan.

We're so lucky to have The Swan as our local. Always so welcoming, good beer and simple but tasty food. There are always specials and seafood is a speciality. I can never get beyond the Lemon Sole with Cheese & Prawn sauce, but our friend had the dressed crab salad and said it was great.

The food is amazing, albeit the starters were a tad small and some dishes lacked a little attention to detail. We had lobster amongst other mains and starters. The only thing to watch is the soft drinks which are heavily overpriced, ridiculous even. Will definitely be back, but will be ordering water on future visits.

11 of us went to swan for a birthday, I had the cod mornay which was really nice, a bit pricey for what I got. Hubby and mum in law had skate wing which was over £20, what they got was half a skate wing! Very small! The desserts are uninspiring, I didn't have one as nothing I liked, hubby had the waffle and ice-cream, really small portion and the waffle was a frozen one re heated in microwave and gone a bit hard, most desserts are around £8-£9 so would expect to be cooked fresh! The service was really good. Think that will be the last time we go there unfortunately.

Requested the bar table when booking. When arriving the owner wanted to take us into the restaurant area. After stating we requested bar she said it isn’t a given , it’s her discretion and it’s the most popular area so not promised even if requested. I felt this was appalling service and the way we were spoken to was rude. We have been coming to the swan since Donny Cole was the owner for 30 years . We won’t return . Not only is the new owner Clare I believe very rude the food was awful. Please think about the service you provide when customers are first arriving, being told this in a snotty manner has ruined any chances of us returning . Not only that Lowestoft is a small town so I’m afraid it has been shared as we wouldn’t recommend you any more. Further more the bar area that we were allowed into to eat eventually, the one that is so popular with customers remained empty for 2 hours on a sunday lunch time so I guess the lack of customers in this most popular area of your restaurant speaks volumes

This is my third stay in Barnby and I would not miss out on a visit (or several) to the Swan Inn. It's like a visit to family, as they are so welcoming, remember you if you have been there before and nothing is too much trouble. It's nice to see familiar faces. The food is excellent and a great selection of beers, wines and spirits. The service is second to none. Whether you are staying in the area or just passing by on the A146, it's well worth stopping off. Very dog friendly too, which always makes life easier for us dog owners. Dog treats available.

First time at this dog-friendly pub/ restaurant. I loved it, and the food was delicious. I had garlic prawns with chips and salad, and my wife had fish pie. Both were some of the best pub food we have had for a long time, and it was all light and didn't leave us feeling bloated. I would have liked a bit more bread to soak up the amazing garlic butter sauce, and I guess I could have asked for it. My first pint of beer was not in prime condition, but the second was fine. Very dog-friendly loos very clean staff friendly and hard working

Great food and service, would have been a perfect evening if it hadn’t been for the very loud table playing cards and screeching every five minutes when someone won a round. Staff apologised but were unwilling to do anything about it. When we mentioned it they said yes they can get a bit rowdy, which leads us to believe it is a regular occurrence. Shame would have been 5 stars if the other table had stayed at home.

On arrival they didn't seem to have our booking, however they did find it in another book. First impressions not great but dealt with very promptly. The restaurant is fresh and airy and nice friendly staff. We are teetotal so I ordered coke and was surprised to receive a good size glass for a change. Whitebait and moules for starter. Moules were amazing apparently and my Whitebait was good, lacking bread but good. Lobster prawn and fish pie mains. All very nice, lovely flavour to lobster. Cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding deserts nice but way to much on our full bellies. So atmosphere, staff and food were right up there with a 9/10.

Have occasionally been to the swan over the last 20+ years: We revisited in the summer and was blown away, the food was amazing. Being foodies we like to try different places. Having been disappointed at a local restaurant the week before we ventured back to the swan on Saturday pm. What can I say, it was the best meal I have had for a long time, the crevettes were cooked to perfection and the muscles were amazing, the sauce was to die for! Bread was fresh and was super to dip in. Other family members were also impressed with their meals. (Even having a fussy 12 year old!) Service was great, happy and friendly staff. Reasonable priced. Family of 3 2 starters 3 main meals Bottle of wine and a pint and a half of coke £110.

Great venue, very pleasant staff. Went for a meal upon the recommendation of a friend. Menu looked fabulous, however the presentation and cooking let it down. New Zealand mussels cooked with cheese would have benefited from a milder cheese (Mozzarella perhaps), followed by Monkfish tail,chips,and salad, all served on a warm plate. Perhaps the salad would have been better served separately.

The most polite, professional and efficient member of bar staff I have come across in a long time. Talk about multi tasking… Beautiful location. Friendly regulars.

The atmosphere was pleasant, while there were two other couples having a meal. However, not long after they left, the bleach came out to clean tables, and made for a less than pleasant end to the night. Staff were nice, as was the food, although I was disappointed that neither had me planning my next visit. Irish coffee was topped with squirty cream, which disappeared into the coffee almost as soon as it arrived. "Little" things like this can make a big difference. I wouldn't suggest that anyone avoids this establishment, as it's not bad. But, as you'll see from the 3 star rating I've given, it's some way off being my "go-to place" that I was hoping for. Overall, no really major faults, but nothing to pull me back time and again. Give it a shot, without high expectations, and you might just well be pleasantly surprised.

We read the trip advisor reviews and thank goodness we did. What a lovely lunch, one veggie special and two meals off of the same menu. Friendly service and great decor, highly recommended.

I was really shocked by the rudeness of the person who served me today. I needed an itemised receipt because I can claim back through the company I work for.Unfortunately an itemised receipt is not available so I asked the lady to write the 2 milkshakes and 2 cakes and the price on the back of the receipt. She snatched the card receipt out of my hand, clearly annoyed at my request and scribbled my order on the back with no price details.
