Lovely meal and staff yesterday afternoon. They were so polite throughout the whole service we have. My partner and I had a burgers off the Sunday menu with fries and they were so nice. The total was just under £50 but will definitely be back again to try their weekday menu. Thank you for a lovely afternoon meal yesterday ladies.

We called in by chance as we were passing on a walk and were delighted with what we found. Beautiful interior with log fire and tasteful seasonal decorations. Very warm welcome from landlady and staff and delicious well priced menu. Chef had made a seafood chowder that morning and we were lucky enough to have the first two portions. Puddings were unusual and delicious - Xmas pudding creme brulee was actual Xmas pudding in a creme brulee with crispy top just as it should be! Highly recommended.

Everything about this place was welcoming and 5 star. I’ve driven past for work many times and always wanted to go. The staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for you. The food was 5 star, I had the beef roast and my partner the belly pork. Really decent Malbec too! They gave my floor a free ice cream which kept him happy while we ate. I will absolutely be back!

Beautiful pub inside and out with stunning scenic surroundings. Big beer garden with loads of seating along with an activity/park area for the kids Also has a stream running along the side of the pub and garden. Absolutely first class service right across the board! Really friendly staff, great food and everything is reasonably priced. Also hosts an absolutely first class bike night on a Thursday with a barbecue. Loads of parking. What an absolute gem of a place. I would highly recommend to anyone!

What a lovely place this is! We had their brand new roast dinner yesterday (08/09/2024) and it was the first day of their new menu and it was superb. Incredible feast like roast dinner with lots of brilliant options. Delicious. The service was second to none, couldn't do enough for us. Kind, chatty, made multiple efforts to pop over for a chat and really thoughtful too - they gave both our dogs an ice cream pot each. Cannot wait to return!!!

Really appalling food for a vegetarian. My friend ordered a vegetarian Caesar salad and it was just lettuce, tomato and croutons. No cheese. For £12 it was ridiculous and over priced. And the excuse was that “we don’t have vegetarian cheese”. Location great but completely missed on the vegetarian option

My primary reason for a review is the outstanding asset a young waitress is to this place. On Sunday 11JUN a walking group arrived at the Swan, later than expected, and hot and thirsty. The weather was extremely warm that day but from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, a young lady could not have done enough for us. She had that rare gift of anticipating our needs before we asked. She was sharp, friendly, very efficient, positive, offering multiple jugs of iced water along with soft and firmer drinks, took our orders first time and without fault, delivered all at the same time, checked, and generally treated us as well as anywhere I've been. I would employ this lady in an instant, a classic example of pure potential. The food wasn't bad either. That's enough said. Thank you so much for your excellent service.

Unhappy Campers… After a late arrival back into England via Folkestone eurotunnel, we struggled to find anywhere close by to rest for the night in our camper. Driving off the beaten track hoping for a quiet lay-by we passed this pub which had a van and a camper parked up in what looked like a small grass green beside the pub. We thought perfect this looks lovely. There were no signs anywhere on the ungated entrance and it being close to 11pm we assumed the pub would be all but closed. We had planned to walk over to check if it was open and if it was closed, instead have a nice pub breakfast in the morning. However in the maximum 5 mins we were parked up and sorted the back of the van to get the dog to bed, a car approached and two men got out and knocked on the window. No pleasantries, just a rude welcome of “so you think you can just pull up do what you want then?”. We were accused of knowing exactly where we were and what we were doing and asked over and over “where did you find us then?” I tried to explain what I thought this was a nice pub car park and instead told “no this is my land”. I get that you must have trouble with this sort of patch of land and was told you’ve had fly tippings before which is not on. I get it. But the way you went about approaching us was as if you were looking for confrontation.

Pretty sure all of the reviews saying they're friendly must either be their friends or regulars who get different treatment because I've never felt so unwelcome in a pub! After a few bad reviews from friends we thought we would try it for ourselves as it looks so lovely, and the place is a joke! What a pity because it's a beautiful little place. Shows what bad staff and bad management can do to a place. Obviously not in need of new customers!
