The Swan Inn Restaurant in Herefordshire, County of

Great meal with great service. Excellent service from Pete, very friendly, chatty and funny. Lovely pub, highly recommended!

We've not been here for a while but had a really good light lunch of jacket potato with chicken curry. Delicious. Log fire and conversation from locals gave a really welcome feeling. Will definitely return, especially for steak, cod and chips and steak pie. They sound wonderful.

Very good steak as usual good team excellent thank you be there again

Rarely do we give 5 stars but having dinner at The Swan Hotel was a 5 star experience for us!! The service was so friendly, positive and engaging and the food was absolutely delicious, home made and hearty. We shared a melted camenbert to start, I had the Mediterranean Tart for main (with added home made onion rings that were not part of the dish but we're given and not charged for) while my boyfriend had a steak with mustard sauce. We topped it off with biscoff cheesecake 😋. The food was plentiful, great atmosphere and lovely service. To top it off we thought it was very reasonably priced, three courses and a drink each for under £75.

Well no complaints food excellent staff pleasant service excellent 👌

Delicious food and great service, as always! Peter always brings a smile to our faces! Highly recommend a visit!

Warm and friendly welcome! Nice beer and the food is very good, well presented. Clean premised, all good! Will return and recommend.

Very pleasant evening last week in our local - this time we had dinner rather than just drinks. Three courses were all very tasty and filling - nicely presented too. Although it was busy, the service was friendly, helpful and considerate. Good value for two three course meals and drinks. I would definitely recommend!

Fantastic friendly staff, the food was outstanding, and a very comfortable nights stay.

Relaxing restaurant that serves in my opinion the best food in Kinsdon.

What a steak diner. Totally best pub steak i have had in years. Shame the Wye Valley Ale ran out though.

What more could you want on a cold, wet Sunday afternoon than a lovely roast dinner with a warm welcome. Great food and service, we'll definitely be back.

Had Sunday carvery today for the first time and very nice indeed. All foods and meat were cooked very nice indeed lovely big Yorkshire pudding. Will definitely be back Thanks all

Lovely food with amazing service. Our waiter was really busy tonight but still paid everyone attention and had a laugh and joke. Thank you!

What a fantastic place to eat and drink. Food was amazing, staff were lovely and friendly and a wonderful selection of beer and ales. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you guys!

Fabulous place we found, service was amazing wanted for nothing and nothing was too much trouble. Great banter as well with the crew. Mixture of pizza, steak, lamb and the specials ate along with pudding and vast amount of booze and soft drinks between the 5 of us. Would 100% recommend and would return if in the area again. Thank you, Katie and the monster truck crew

One of the best pub meals I have had for a long time. Prompt and courteous service, friendly atmosphere, our dog made most welcome.

Excellent food, great selection of beer. Lively atmosphere and clean and tidy rooms at excellent value, been here a few times now and doesn't disappoint.

Great food, great service, great price!

Lovely friendly pub with good food, perfect for a refuel after a long walk.

Went here for a family Sunday lunch the staff were great and the food was superb, will definitely go back again .. 5 stars from the Evans & McCabe family..

Fitted us in when fully booked on steak night...beautiful food and excellent service as usual.

This is an update from the original review below to respond to the owners comment. The following words are a direct quote from the hotel e mail to me on the 11 June when they cancelled my dinner booking for the first week in July .... "Yes it is correct I’m afraid, our kitchen is closed all week due to the chef being on holiday and being short staffed, we can’t find any cover to do evening meals. We do apologies for this". Perfectly located if you're doing the Offas Dyke walk. Clean and comfortable room, friendly staff. Only downside was they weren't doing evening meals due to staff shortages, so went to the Burton Hotel which was fine.

Excellent Restaurant, amazing food, Bar was very nice and pleasant staff. Great atmosphere, will be returning 😀

Really good restaurant. Great beer garden.

Nice enough, but like a lot of places, no cooking on a Monday night

Went for a meal at 6.45 we were seated and served by 7pm. Home just after 8. Fantastic service from our lovely waitress thank you We've been many times before but tonight was superb 👌

Lovely afternoon served by the lovely Alice, great food service and not to mention the beer, thanks for accomidating us..lovely as always...thanks to the all

Lovely historical pub, friendly staff. The only thing that let it down slightly was a bit of a communication issue - the waitress didn’t seem to have been updated on items that were sold out by the kitchen. Otherwise thoroughly enjoyed my steak and cider. You get a free drink with your meal on steak night apparently, which is a nice touch 🙂

Really nice pub with rooms above. Breakfast was excellent!

Loved it, good food and a lovely waitress

Truly, with no exaggeration, one of the best steaks I've ever had! Cannot fault the food or the service! Bed was incredibly comfy too! I stayed for work but I am planning to return for a holiday based on how good the food and room was! My only slight negative is that we couldn't have a hot breakfast, breakfast started at 0800 (I think off the top of my head) which felt quite late

Coffee is unbearable. Cold and from a machine the staff are rude, not a place if you are expecting a decent coffee. The bear on tap is poor.. I could not comment on the food…

i went to dis restarant yesterday and they tell me i have to leave becaus of me religion and ethnicity, very rude woman talk to me and tell me she don’t like me, i had me food thrown in me face and got thrown out by de rude rude woman, would not bludclat recommend

Right in the heart of picturesque Kington, the Swan Hotel is a friendly welcoming place and the perfect combination of traditional country pub and modern hotel. The room was clean, airy and luxurious. The beds are very comfortable, and at £100 per night for a double, not unreasonably priced. The food was absolutely delicious, of a high quality and was generously sized portions, again for a very reasonable price. The selection of beers was very good, all of which were well kept and delicious. The included breakfast was a bonus that I'd missed on the initial booking, using quality and presumably local, ingredients. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming and accommodating. I will inevitably find myself in the area again and when I do, I can't wait to stay again!

The food is stunning all home made tasty as my mother used to make. And the staff are top notch friendly and chatty. Highly recomended

The Swan is a brilliant country pub with a great atmosphere. The menu caters for most tastes and budgets, and the bar is likewise. They have five comfortable rooms for those who need to stay the night. Easily one of the most comfortable hotel stays I've had this year, (and I've had a few)

Excellent experience, loved it.

No food was available during the Thursday at all when they said from 12 to 15.00 what a joke

Good pub. Only one in the town that appear to show any sports. Good modern decor and good selection of beers and snacks. Do check food opening times as on the door it says lunch until 2pm and we arrived at 1.40 and told the kitchen was closed

Always a good choice on the A44 route to and from the Midlands, or a trip to Hereford. Good food, friendly staff and a nice clientele. Dogs allowed, and a good range of drinks. Our favourite place in Kington. We use them whenever we visit Kington- impeccable service, nice food and drinks and a good social atmosphere.

Gone up from last visit last year as I expected ,portions have gone down though not expected.

Good Sunday cavery. Well kept beers Good atmosphere. We had meal for group of 10

We have had a fantastic time staying at The Swan Hotel. Luke & Casey have been outstanding as always, they go the extra mile. Fabulous food, hospitality and accommodation! Highly recommend The Swan Burger. The Swan is a 10/10.

Brilliant stay. Management so kind. Excellent breakfast. And great price. Highly recommended.

Great food, amazing service from our waiter

Perfectly adequate accommodation for a 2 night working trip. Room was simple but comfortable. Staff were friendly and professional. Breakfast was great, and their coffee machine is fantastic! Will stay here again.

Great staff, and pub environment.

Good food and service. Staff helpful and friendly.

Lovely staff and great food every time i go

Great choice of vegetarian meals, friendly staff

Extremely fresh and prepared food. Clean and welcoming Grate options

Sunday carvery, faultless, staff brilliant, great value for money 👏

Lovely pub great atmosphere, lovely staff, alice is top notch!

I had Beef Wellington absolutely amazing well worth the money. Service was fantastic well done to all the staff at the Swan Hotel *****

Food was amazing but be ready for giant portions!

Weekend away walking and this local pub had amazing food! Catered for a large group of us and staff were great.

Lovely pub with good beer and delicious food

Had delicious lunch here at the Swan today. Couldn't fault the food and comfortable surroundings. Service was good and staff helpful and attentive but not intrusive. Will be returning again soon.

The Swan is a good place to eat. We found the meal rather sadly got less good as it progressed - starter was 10/10, main was 7/10 (we didn't have steak) and the dessert 5/10. However it was excellent value for money, the staff really attentive and quite happy to squeeze us in on a Saturday night without prior booking. Both the house Merlot and Shiraz were excellent.

Great atmospere. Very reasonably priced food. They have meal deals I had fish and chips with mushy peas and a coke for a tenner. You can't grumble at that at all.

We arrived just in time before the rush started, and the poor girl behind the bar was rushed off her feet. It was the day of the food festival, so I thought the management may have planned for additional customers. Additional staff did eventually turn up to help her. We agreed to share a table with another couple who arrived at the same time. The food we all had was well prepared and tasty and we all enjoyed our meals very much. I had the pie with mash and a lovely gravy, and my wife said her fish and chips was excellent. We will return to this venue

We had our works xmas meal here and got to say it was beautiful.. lovely food and setting and lovely staff and Luke and Casey were fantastic and nothing too much trouble! Keep up the good work everyone and support your local!!!

Great little gem of a pub. Really friendly atmosphere, good food and good service.

Great atmosphere and friendly service. Food was excellently cooked, just a great place to eat

The pub atmosphere was good ... food was terrible.

Friendly staff and the steak and ale pie was amazing!

Ate in restaurant didn't stay. Steak was good the rest poor. Limp chips and salad garnish but the peppercorn sauce was a travesty. Glutinous, congealed and lacking in flavour, hands down the worst I've ever tasted. No sign of cream involved and precious little pepper. More than disappointed but easily fixable and it'll be a good steakhouse.

We went for sunday lunch it was very nice. It was a 2 course meal started with a carvery of 3 meats and a choice of 6 puddings and with 2 drinks £38 very good value for money. Staff was very good and the place was very clean will be going back when in the area again

Lovely place, great staff, nice beer, good service, yummy food, spotlessly clean, comfy beds, perfectly located on the route of offa's dyke path, lovely little touches like flowers on the window, seats, table, nicely decorated, thank you

Pre wedding stay over ,welcoming staff ,had an evening meal that I would highly recommend, rib eye steak cooked to perfection, can't rate this hotel any higher ,brilliant well worth a visit or stay over .

Gorgeous food, lovely staff and brilliant atmosphere. We came to Kington on holiday and ate here most nights.

Stayed here while walking the Offas Dyke walking route. Impressive hotel with a nice comfortable room and breakfast.

I have now visited this pub on a few occasions with my partner, children and family. Lovely pub with amazing food and drinks, polite and very friendly staff and always willing to help cant reccommend enough 😀

Awesome food, great portions, tasty drinks, friendly service, cute location 😊

Perfect location for Offas Dyke walk. Shops and Post Office nearby. Nice spacious rooms. Comfy beds. Hot shower. Lovely evening meal and packed lunch for our walk the next day. Resonable prices

Great friendly pub, cracking ales and food 👍

Really great value for money and the gentleman at the bar was so friendly and welcoming and quite entertaining. We will definitely be back as we had great service and very good food.

We picked the wrong night to meet up with my brother and sister in law over from Canada. It was so noisy because Liverpool were playing Chelsea in the fa Cup final. Couldn't hear ourselves speak. But never mind at least Liverpool won. 😁

Disappointing. We ate at the Swan Hotel last night - the food on the whole was okay but the steaks were poor. We asked for one medium and two medium rare - they all came out well overcooked. We were asked three times by various waiting staff if everything was okay - three times we said no and explained what was wrong and three times the wait staff replied "oh sorry about that", walked off and did precisely nothing, which was frankly laughable. What's the point of asking if everything is okay with a guest's food if you're not actually going to do anything about it when your guest replies that "actually no - everything isn't okay."

We had lunch here on May 1st. The food was OK, my steak was good, served with one greasy mushroom, one oily onion ring and overcooked dried out chips. But here is the thing. Our four standard main courses took one hour and 20 minutes to arrive. At one hour and 5 minutes in I went to ask where the food was. They said 5 more minutes. Even an hour for food is unacceptable. There was no apology, they really could not care less. This detracted from our visit to Kington and will be our main memory of it.

Considering its a chain, good beer and a local feel. Coolish day, so the wood burning stove was very welcome

Chanced upon this after walk on Hergest Ridge. Good lunch, dog friendly. Pie was particularly stand out

Very friendly welcome. Excellent service and delicious food. Thank you Alice!

I never ate an evening meal here, but the bar and restaurant were always busy, and my breakfasts were nice. At £80 per night, my room was a tad expensive for my budget, especially since no single person rate was available, which I can understand with a small establishment. My duvet was very thin and the same width as the bed, so I ended up sleeping fully clothed, as the nights were cold. The shower leaked, so only half the water got to the shower head, and my room door was extremely difficult to lock externally. I brought these issues up with a member of staff, no larger duvet was available, the shower would be looked at (not during my stay though) and the door had been kicked in by a previous guest. All in all, it is a place that I would eat and drink in again, but I would be unlikely to spend the night there again.

Very friendly pub with great service.

I went with a large group to eat and everything was amazing. Everyone's food came out at the same time and was beautiful. Drinks were a great price and they handled everyone paying individually brilliantly. All the staff were lovely aswell.

Very nice and friendly pub, lovely stove.

Best pub/restaurant in Kington. Amazing selection of Gin’s, and the GinTree offer is fab value. The food is always first class, a great selection of steaks cooked to perfection. Super menu with the added bonus of seasonal specials. The management and staff provide exceptional service. 100% recommended.

We have just had the Sunday lunch , it was excellent, there was a party of 7 of us , we all thoroughly enjoyed it . The puddings were blooming gorgeous . The young lady who served was very friendly an asset to the company . Can highly recommend.

Those who had steaks thought they were lovely but I thought my fish was overcooked making the beer batter chewy. Chips were very good. We had a good laugh with staff and customers who were great.

Beautiful venue but I didn't enjoy the my meal , tried some of the food from the other guest in my party and that was lovely so I guess it was burgers.

I went here recently visiting family, ordered one of the beef burgers. While the fries well very well cooked, the burger had clearly been bought from a supermarket and was overcooked, as well as flat and sad in appearance. I could have made the same thing at home in 10 minutes for a 10th of the price. Very disappointing.

Absolutely great atmosphere and beautiful food . Staff very friendly and helpful

Good food great staff, clean and tidy, showers could do with being a bit bigger 😂

Just had what must have been THE best steak and ale pie in the history of steak and ale pies. Seriously, there was more cow in that pie than in most fields I've driven past today. And the young lady who served us was absolutely fantastic! Definitely recommend coming here!

Lovely warm cosy pub, great food.

Great welcome, good beer, will go back to try the steaks!

Just had a lovely lunch at The Swan...wonderful staff...very friendly...roaring fire!!! 1st class..thanks xx

Great weekend stay. Really friendly staff - thank you all.
