The Swan Inn Restaurant in Cheshire East

Lovely old pub, Robinson Brewery really have invested well in their estate and the Swan Inn is no exception, absolutely chock full of character. Well worth checking out if you’re passing. We chose from the light bite menu which was terrific value for money, great portions and good quality. Very friendly, attentive staff waiting on. The cherry on the cake? Possibly the best pint of Unicorn Bitter I’ve had in a long while.

Only went there to drop off and pick up wife where she had lunch with friends.

Called into the Swan just on spec while touring the area. Greeted by very friendly staff and made to feel very welcome indeed. We chose meals from the light bite menu which were very good indeed. I had beer battered fish and my wife had the lasagne. The only thing that needs identifying is the £6.75 a pint for Neckoil IPA. Ridiculous price. Overall a very warm and inviting place to visit. I think I'll book a room there soon for a better visit to the area. Well worth 5 stars in my book.

Excellent food and drink , really nice place .

This is an amazing pub with character and the mixed grill was expensive however the meat was cooked as requested and the lamb was good nice for a treat or special occasion

Went for Sunday Lunch with my family. Very nice experience.....

Excellent food and lovely atmosphere. X

This is our go to place whenever friends and family visit, I’ve been using this beautiful pub for years , we love the front window seat, the decor and the friendly welcoming staff. Everything about this pub is beautiful the drinks and food included. I will continue to visit this wonderful place and encore anyone else to do the same.

Just had such a lovely stay at this beautiful pub. The rooms were so cozy and comfortable, the location was really pretty and the food was very good. The owners were so friendly and attentive. We found this place by accident, but will definitely be returning in the near future. Thank you for a lovely night.

Lovely country pub which was the base for an orienteering event I took part in. Didnt eat here but the staff were lovely and very helpful. Sat in the great beer garden withca lovely view over the surrounding countryside. Would definitely go back and try the food.

Staff very welcoming and friendly. Food excellent and accommodated needs .would return and recommend

A nice quiet place to stop and refresh yourself. Rooms available but, never needed. Food is wholesome and fresh. No TV available for matchday viewing though.

An old fashion pub with great food and staff. Warm welcome, the room was clean, well appointed and comfortable. The evening meal had a varied menu & came hot & and well presented. Paid for breakfast, cereals, orange juice, a full English, toast, tea/coffee, very enjoyable & set us up for the day. A very enjoyable 2 nights & would recommend.

I've driven passed The Swan Inn a number of times and finally stopped to get something to eat one evening with the family. What a lovely place in a great setting in Wybunbury next to St,Chads church. Really homely feel, traditional pub with fantastic food and really friendly and helpful staff. Thank you for a great evening and see you again soon...( Fish & Chips was just the best!)...

This is the 2nd time this year my Wife & myself have stayed at the amazing venue. This time we returned with Our 2 Friends for a Saturday night away & again from check in with the lovely Lady owner until checkout everything and everyone was perfect. This time we ate dinner, which my Wife & one friend both had the Braised Steak Pie which my Wife said it was the best Pie she had ever had! Our Friend was equally impressed. Our other Friend & myself had the lasagna which was absolutely spot on, oh my delicious! Portion's are great. Proper home cooked, locally sauced meal's, you can just tell. We then ate breakfast and again omg just amazing. The sausage and the bacon are just the best. Breakfast is an absolute bargain for the price, including Cereals, toast, tea, coffee, orange juice, toast, lots of preserves and of course the King of the Full English ❤️ The Lady Owner is just so lovely, attentive and would literally serve you extra coffee etc. Just such a hardworking, lovely and friendly Lady. Accomodation yet again 100%, this time we had no 3 & 5. The only thing we could probably say is that room 3 and 4 door's open on to each other so it was a bit awkward as we went in and out as the neighbours often doing the same to smoke outside our open bedroom window 🙄 Not the Owner's fault at all. The room's do get very hot but the fan's in the room are top quality & kept us cool all the time we were there. We will be back 100% even just a drive out for Sunday lunch, but also more time's with our Friend's again to stay over. Thankyou to all of your lovely Staff & Owner. You are outstanding!

My partner and I have just had two lovely days to stay at The Swan.Beautiful Olde World Pub in a pretty quiet village setting.situated next to a the old church. Our room ,although small, was extremely clean and comfortable. The menu for the evening meals was varied,tasty ,using locally sourced ingredients. Breakfast was excellent too.Set us up for the day. Very friendly,helpful,happy staff. Thank you to Pauline ,Ron,Carol,Chef,and the young,waitress,girls for making,our,stay so enjoyable. We will definitely return again and highly recommend it.

Lovely pub, really quirky.. Many things to look at while waiting for your food to come ... Food arrives and it's great, Very hot, lovely chicken burger and the chips were nice and crunchy ...Family enjoyed their meals too ... Will definitely go again and I hope its soon 🙂

The best fish & chips I've ever had. Crisp, rich-tasting beer batter. Fresh fish that practically melts in your mouth. Chips have just the right crunch on the outside, perfectly fluffy inside. The sticky toffee pudding is delicious too: rich without being stodgy, served with caramel sauce and luxurious salted caramel ice cream. Do your mouth a favour and eat here!

Although it’s over 4 miles from Nantwich this is a lovely little pub, we also ate here, word of warning the portions are enormous, share the starters. The rooms are compact (I sat up in bed and was able to lean over slightly and make a cup of tea, that small) but our room was beautifully presented, two shower heads which was a great, yes we’d definitely come back, but perhaps order taxis to travel to and from town for more variety of meal options.

You have to visit because It's too difficult to tell just how lovely this pub is...I couldn't order a pint for 10 mins because I couldn't stop ogling everything. Staff Great too an good selection of beers, the ipa yeastie boy was gorgeous. Food was a bit over our usual budget but good too.

Great pub in the lovely village of Wybunbury. We walked round the mosses before heading back to the pub & enjoyed a drink the garden.

One of the most quirky pubs in Cheshire, probably. Warm welcome, excellent food and in summer a lovely beer garden right next to the leaning tower of Wybunbury.

Very nice old world pub with excellent service

Absolutely gorgeous pub, serving the legendary Unicorn from the tap. Vegan menu could use some updating, but appreciate being catered for regardless. Wish they stocked some form of energy drink, but otherwise can't fault.

Didn't stay here but ate on 2 occasions. Pleasant staff and food was good. Would go again if in the area.

Lovely location and decor. Great friendly staff and good menu.

Lovely place great food good atmosphere

Lovely and very friendly staff. Highly recommend

Decided to go to the swan to celebrate a 90th birthday. They didn’t let us done. We normally pop in for a ping when we’re passing (never fails to serve a good pint) …and we already know the old charm, with a twist, interior suites us well. The food was excellent Beef pie… every bite was succulent quality beef in a beautiful gravy ….AND….a proper pie! Fully wrapped and cooked to perfection … no soggy bits… Cheese and Onion pie…. Again cooked to perfection, it tasted exactly of what you’d expect it to. Cheesy and oniony. The onions were cooked but not over cooked so you could still get a proper taste of onion. (Akin to when Morrison used to do C&O Cornish pasties a few years ago. The service was excellent… the server remembered who had ordered what when returning with the meals. Remembered drinks. Just a super pleasant experience.

Driven past many times over the years but only visited twice before to meet up with a friend. Car died while driving past today so stopped for a drink with the family. Friendly services and well maintained beer garden where we had a drink and waited for recovery.

Absolutely delightful stay. Great food and lovely rooms. And the joy of listening to the local bell ringers practice in the church beside us was an added bonus. Excellent service too from helpful friendly staff. Just lovely all round

The location is beautiful, the rooms and staff are excellent and the food is exquisite, it was an absolute pleasure to visit and I’ll be beck again soon. Update 11/5/24 my second visit was every bit as enjoyable as my first, I really can’t recommend it enough.

Very well done steak comes raw, offered desert menu and get forgotten about. This all on a quiet Wednesday with a handful of people in so not too busy. Wouldn't recommend, such a shame as a beautiful setting. As a reply to the comment, the steaks were not fully consumed, mine was but my wife left half of hers and the waitress commented that it was not as asked. Poor experience and incorrect response.

Wow what an absolute gem of a place this is. A lovely warm welcome when I arrived from the young lady in glasses. Beautifully decorated and clean rooms situated in lovely surroundings. Food is excellent and service is impeccable. I travel around the UK for work regularly and I can categorically say this is up there with the best. The shower should get 5 stars on its own Perfect

Lovely pub with great rooms and fantastic food. The leaning church tower next door is really interesting too.

Had the pleasure of staying over and eating here , great rooms and even better food will definitely be returning

Was lead to believe that the public house was under new management but the older lady that cancelled my daughter and son in laws wedding reception four days before the wedding was still there. Won't be going again. The reception was 18 months ago and was for 22 people and the review is correct and at this property

We had booked for a family of eight for a special occasion. The meal went well until desert , when one guest ordered cheese which was advertised as including Brie and grapes. When the plate arrived it had neither, just three small portions of very ordinary mouse trap quality cheese, some chutney and a few water biscuits for which the price was £9.95, more expensive than all other deserts. I queried this when paying the bill and was offered a £3 discount, which I felt was insulting. The Swan advertise themselves as serving a range of quality cask ales. After one point of Robinson Unicorn ale which was so bad I was forced to drink lager. I will not be returning.

We enjoyed a lovely meal here last night, great pub atmosphere, very busy which is nice to see. Being seated next to a roaring log fire made my night! The food was piping hot, freshly cooked & tasty. Couldn’t wish for more & look forward to a return visit with a family of 9 in May!

Always a good pint and a good selection to choose from.

We came across the swan by chance and were thrilled with the place, the staff and the delicious food - pity we live 70 miles away- well done to you

Such a friendly and great place. Good food and brilliant ambience and character

Chose the Swan Inn for a Mothersday meal. Our first family meal of the year and it was absolutely shocking. Firstly, it took an hour for our food to be served and only partially served as it was missing the items. We raised this and 2 of the guests waited whilst their food went cold, however when asking 15 minutes later where the items were, the waitress apologised and said she needed to take a drinks order first for an alternative table. Additionally, another guests burger was burnt and bun was stale. We complained about this also as the missing items came out 20 minutes after the main meals. This completely ruined the meal. The lady apologised and offered free desserts. We declined as we decided to go home for a takeaway. To make matters worse, they tried to charge us for a meal that was ruined and missing items. After the waitress argued about the payment for my mother's meal, we wouldn't speak up, they eventually removed the meal from the bill reluctantly. I can honestly say this was disgusting and not worth the £60 we still had to pay for fish and chips and chicken and rice with one rou d of drinks. I'm hoping this review makes people think twice before booking for such a special occasion.

My wife arranged a surprise weekend stay here, what a lovely place. We were made to feel very welcome by Pauline, who went the extra mile to look after us. We had an evening meal there, the food is excellent. Breakfast was also fantastic, Ronnie looked after us at breakfast on one morning, he’s a real tonic. If you are looking for a great place to stay, look no further than the Swan

I love the food, the atmosphere BUT one problem was that recently when me and my mum went there the manager who looks like in her later age was being very rude to my mum and told us to leave even though we did nothing wrong.

I love the food there BUT recently my mum was going to order some food but one woman was being very rude to her so we had to leave

Amazing food the chef really out did themselves, great service from all staff and really nice surroundings

Such a good meal the service was amazing and the five stars for the chef definitely recommend ordering of the special menu

Amazing food had from special menu, great service and fantastic surroundings. 5 star experience thanks for a great time.

Lunch was lovely, small portions available, attentive friendly staff, will return

Nice Inn, with nice food (and drink!)

What a lovely spot to stop for lunch. We were shopping in Nantwich and wanted to have lunch out of town. We found The Swan via Google and what a find! The location of the pub is lovely (easy to find) and the indoor areas are warm, cosy and welcoming. Staff are attentive and friendly and provide a really relaxed atmosphere. The menu was good, plenty of options without being overwhelming and the food was excellent as was the service. We will definitely return and having discovered they offer B&B we may treat ourselves to an overnight stay. All in all highly recommend.

This was the best place we'd stayed on a five day trip. The staff are charming, the room was bright and clean and food at both dinner and breakfast was superb. Definitely to be recommended.

Had a lovely meal for our wedding anniversary this evening the staff were very welcoming and friendly and we felt very relaxed and private enjoying our meal. Most important thing was the food was hot 🔥 Definitely worth a visit. Big thumbs up to all the Staff 👍 Mr Wilkinson

Brilliant setting really beautiful. Staff lovely. Only had a drink but have booked toveat there on Wednesday for my wedding anniversary ivwas so impressed. Toilets huge modern spotless and high quality soap and hand cream in the ladies section. Large seating area in the window area of the toilets, arched around andcreally trendy. So pretty. Tree feature in the middle of the pub and open fire is stunning. Very quirky.

Lovely pub! Nice and cosy! Food was fantastic!

Very quirky place, lots to look at. Really good service, good food and drink.

Lovely cosy ambience. Favourite pub around. Always warmly welcomed and served quickly.

I work away from home on average three nights a week. The Swan Inn has now almost become my second home when I am working in the Newcastle Under Lyme area. I stumbled upon this little gem about five years ago after previously staying at the local chain hotels. The service levels are fantastic and the owners Ian and Mel and all the staff are very personable and are always willing to go that extra mile which when you spend a lot of time away from home makes a huge difference. The accommodation is perfect for my needs and I no doubt will be returning on a regular basis in 2024

I’ve been blessed from my parents taking me here for Sunday lunch since I was a small child now in my late 50s I’ve bought my family and grand children here frequently ever since. Having stopped in the luxury rooms , having amazing breakfast and meals on many occasions than I could count ! I highly recommend this country oasis of public house with its friendly atmosphere incredible food a place I hold most highly .

Very nice meal in a lovely pub. Service was very good.

Nice food and drinks. Somewhere different to visit . A very old pub in mint condition and dog friendly

Had an overnight stay for my husband's birthday. Bed was uncomfortable and shower leaked. Bells at the local church going off every half hour throughout the night which would have been nice to have been warned. Starter and main were burnt, couldn't believe the chef had allowed the burnt pie to even leave the kitchen, couldn't cut through the pastry. The nacho startes also burnt but we let that go. My turkey dinner had half a slice of meat on. A replacement was going to be at least 20 mins due to the staff concentrating on a larger party so we left without eating feeling sorry for the waitress who was left by the management to deal with the situation.

We had a lovely evening in the Swan, great ambience, food and friendly staff. The Christmas menu had loads of choice, we went for feather blade of beef and roasted Salmon both excellent choices. We'll be back soon!

Great food and atmosphere, limited on vegan options but did have a vegan menu. Great decor and very comfortable surroundings

Beautiful old pub with lots of period features and a fantastic atmosphere and interesting decor. Ordered from the separate vegan menu (great) the vegan sausages with a good selection of vegetables and gravy. Disappointing.... bland and lacking in taste. Cherry pie with vegan ice cream was lovely - very tasty. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Why no plant milks? Couldn't have a hot drink so had soft drinks. Overall, a mixed experience in gorgeous surroundings.

Called in on a snowy day sat by the open fire the pub is decorated beautifully for Christmas , very cozy I had the feather blade of beef carrots roast parsnip and dauphinois potatoes and the chicken stuffed with haggis beautifully presented and hot . It was so good we have booked for Christmas Eve well done chefs and the girls front of house 👏👏

Lovely menu and attentive staff . The salmon , nut roast and home made lasagne were all top class , as were our starters Duck confit Bon Bon’s and Brussels Pate

Great pub for food and beer. Service fantastic and will definatly be back

The Swan Inn is a very special place. We had such a fantastic time this weekend, I don’t know where to begin! The pub itself has a warm and homely feel, we felt right at home from the moment we walked in. It’s jam packed with curiosities and interesting talking pieces - as any English country pub should be! During our stay we had lunch and dinner, and even managed to squeeze in breakfast before we left, all the menus left us spoilt for choice and the food was absolutely delicious - the best pub meal we’ve had in a long time - I must make a special mention for the cheese pie which my partner and I can’t stop thinking about!!! Our room was comfortable and spotlessly clean, with everything you could need for total relaxation. A real home-from-home we had a great nights sleep. We will be sure to be back! Mel, Ian and their team are the perfect hosts, they made us feel welcome from the minute we arrived, we really can’t thank them enough!

Arrived for Sunday Lunch to be told all Sunday roast sold out.Very disappointing as did not want other meals from menu which we could have at any other tone

We ate in the Swan for lunch. The service was good, the food was only average at best. This once busy bustling little gem of a pub has sadly become a shadow of its former self.

Lovely atmosphere & good food in a pretty little village - highly recommended for a quick snack, a big meal or just a glass of wine or coffee in pleasant surroundings 🍷 ☕️

I had a really good meal. Service was good, as was the food, which was reasonably priced. The surroundings are pleasant - it's a small quirky pub, with many nooks and corners crammed with all sorts of interesting things (including books). I often feel awkward...

This was the second time my wife and I have stayed here for a weekend away and although the first was five years ago, it's good to see The Swan Inn is still the same as we remember. Warmly greeted on arrival, easy check in,...

Dreadful. Absolutely dreadful. The owner was not at all personable when dealing with my complaint. Needless to say I don’t need to be banned, I’ve already banned myself.

Excellent atmosphere, wonderful steamed hams. I visited due to a meet up with an old superintendent friend of mine who was only too pleased with his burger, describing it as "delightfully devilish". He has a regional dialect.

1st visit & will not be the last. Fascinating decor, cosy without being cramped. Friendly welcome, smiling, helpful staff. Varied menu, all 4 chose Sunday roast. Succulent chichen & tender beef. Mini puddings are ideal with hot drink included. Would definitely recommend visit. Tim &...
