The Swan Inn Restaurant in Cheshire East - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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.

Lovely cozy pub. Visited today 13th July 2024 Plenty of food choices on menu. Meals Freshly cooked, and tasted delicious. Very filling. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and tables. Free car parking Accommodation available. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend

We stayed here last night in room 1. There are 7 rooms which are adjacent to the pub in an old converted barn type building. Our room was superb! Clean, modern, quaint and simply so much thought gone into the added extra's. The tea tray was excellent as were the little touches like supplying ear plugs incase the local church across the carpark bell's keep you awake. We personally didn't hear them, they go off every half hour 24/7 and is a lovely noice to wake up to on a Sunday morning in this lovely little village. The pub itself is superb! It is quaint, with an amazing interior full of unusual nik nacks and even trees inside. Lovely cosy lighting. Just perfect. The Staff are wonderful and so friendly from the minute we checked in until the minute we checked out. They work extremely hard. If we lived in this village it would most definitely be our local. We watched the England match for which they had put up a screen for and this was a great treat along with lots of others, mostly friendly local's. Even had a free chippy bap at half time which was just a brilliant gesture. Can't comment on the food as we didn't eat here in the end but we will definitely be back to try it next time. Simply can not recommend this lovely gem enough. If you haven't tried it then you certainly should. Thanks again to all of the wonderful Staff.

We’ve been to The Swan twice now and each time has been brilliant, Food - amazing! Drinks - perfect (their own rose wine is gorgeous). Service - again perfect. Can’t wait to go again!

We live locally and a highlight of our year is supporting the amazing Fig Pie Wakes, always a brilliant atmosphere at this quirky event. After a lovely afternoon we settled down for a meal at The Swan. The staff were amazing, they had been rushed off their feet all day, yet still were welcoming and genuinely friendly. Our food was good: lasagne and chicken burger. If I am being critical, the chicken burger was very thin more like a schnitzel, very tasty all the same. Finished with the most delicious cheesecake. We always enjoy a visit to The Swan and this was no exception.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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!

An amazing pub that’s full of character and set in a beautiful location. We stayed in the hotel on a Saturday night. The food was delicious; we had dinner, as well as breakfast the next morning in the pub. From the moment we arrived, to...

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.

Have lived in Nantwich for four years and have visited this pub with my wife a few times for a drink and have always found it a quaint, clean and cosy Pub with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Today however is the first time...

This pub is in the small, pretty village of Wybunbury next to the leaning church. My mum and I went on August Bank Holiday Monday lunch time. The pub itself is "oldie worldie" and very welcoming. The staff are lovely and very attentive. No ordering...

This is a lovely pub that always seems to hit the spot for us. It’s like an old favourite. We live in central Nantwich but often visit this pub. Easy parking, friendly staff, lovely grub, well kept ale. What’s not to like. We called in...

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,...

Starter was prawns in garlic. A total of 4 prawns for £6.50 in a garlic and spinach sauce. Nachos for my wife were excellent though. Garlic chicken Kiev was just a chicken schnitzel with the same garlic sauce as starter, with the spinach again. It...

Stayed here as we were going to a birthday party in Nantwich. We didn't realise that the Fig Pie Wake was taking place, so were surprised that the car park was closed. However we easily got parked just across the road. We spent some time...

Busy pub with a fair sized outside seated area, food arrived with a short delay (as we were warned) but was all very good, the lasagne especially, we will be returning.

I’m glad I gave this place the benefit of the doubt because it was well worth it! We went in Friday night and were greeted and seated by a lovely polite young lady. Despite being the only member of staff on the floor with a...

Food was disgusting, went with my Son for a treat wish I never bothered. We both had Nachos to start which were burnt, my Homemade Lasagne was burnt tasteless and just horrible. My Son's Chicken Burger was dry and he said it wasn't very nice...

The food, as always, was lovely. However, with one girl waiting on and one more behind the bar the service was poor. We weren’t asked if we wanted more drinks before our meal came so we called the waitress over and ordered a bottle of...

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 &...

We live locally and always enjoy a visit to The Swan, the food is always top notch, especially their Sunday roast. We visited on Sunday 19th Feb and whilst we enjoyed our meal, things just felt a little lacking. You couldn’t fault the amount and...

Lovely country pup with rooms, staff excellent food really good, great character and charm . Rooms nice size and comfortable no complaints at all would come again

Visited The Swan again last night with friends for a meal and it was at its absolute best! The place was packed with not a table to be had but that didn't affect either the 5 Star service or the standard of food. It came...

Had a really cosy stay here Lovely room - excellent shower Slept blissfully Delicious breakfast- and lovely kind attentive staff We will be back ❤️ Thank you

We stayed here for 1 night en route to The Lake District and then 3 nights on the way home. The little "cottages" attached to this pub are perfect for a short stay. They are well equipped, quiet location, cosy and comfortable. The showers are...

We visited The Swan Inn on a Monday evening for my wife’s birthday meal, along with our two kids. Having waited 1.5 hours for the kitchen to open - we eagerly ordered our food. After 40 minutes (including some of our food seemingly being given...

I was initially nervous because I’d read reviews that said the music was loud and there was frequently a loud bell. Thankfully those two factors turned out to not be accurate. Music was lovely and quiet, staff were really friendly and the food! The food...

Reviews had mentioned the bell chime every 15 minutes through the night, so simply bring ear plugs and enjoy this quaint pub/inn in the village. Room #7 at the end of converted barns has a fantastic view over the fields. Huge washroom/vanity and comfortable bed....

We stayed at The Swan for a random night away and found the rooms very well maintained and reasonably priced. The pub its self is lovely and the staff polite and helpful. Unfortunately we didn't get to try the food as we had already had...

Stayed locally for a week and called in for drinks twice. Cask was superb and the welcome from staff and customers was lovely. Many thanks.

Poor service and poor food. We were shown to our table and then waited for someone to bring us the menu and order drinks. We waited and then waited some more. Other people arrived after us and were served and eventually we had to ask...

A really lovely pub / restaurant with really friendley staff, amaizing ambiaunce and really good food.

Amazing service, beautiful location, we only had a cooked breakfast but it was excellent, the coffee was lush, the whole experience was just lovely
