CHECK YOUR BILL We were overcharged for someone else’s drinks by £11.this was rectified by a refund. Plus meals and drinks at the end of the bill were charged £2 more than accounted for. This wasn’t noticed and checked until we got home. Next time I will pay for the 2 course meals and drinks separate. The food was very good and plenty full.

Came here with my partner and his family, we googled the menu before arriving and I was a little worried for my options as I'm vegetarian but was pleasantly surprised with the range of vegetarian and vegan dishes on the menu! The Malbec was delicious and the server we had (yesterday around 2pm) was very accomodating and lovely! Such a pleasant time :)

It was super lovely little pub lots of vegan options on the menu the staff are really eager to help you and make sure you enjoy your experience. I would like to make a spit out to our waitress Kayleigh. She served us and she was lovely and happy to help. Would highly recommend this pub.

Very good food.. well I enjoyed what I had. Old fashioned place needs a make over worn/ripped and then covered with tape chairs, poor.

The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. The interior decor needs updating, but having said that, I will be returning as the steak and ale pie was superb 👌

Visited on the way home from holiday. The exterior of the pub was a little tired as was part of the interior. However the food was very nice, we had the special 2 course menu for £13.95 which is available Mon-Fri and it was amazing value for money. Nice fresh ingredients and large portions. The staff were nice too. Would definitely return if in the area again.

Our first time here but certainly won't be our last. The food was amazing! Proper homemade chips 😍 presentation was fantastic and such good deals with the prices. The service was fantastic! It was only Roberto we dealt with but he is amazing! He couldn't do enough for us, and didn't stop smiling! Such a nice guy. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit ☺️

Been a few times and it has been OK. Tonight I ordered the double burger. Fries were cold and the burger well... Bacon was dry and hard and the thin patties were also burnt and dry. The cheese was hard and salty. Just terrible. Eat a mouthful and staff noticed I was displeased. They offered a fresh one but my partner was already making headway on hers so declined. On a positive the cauliflour starter was really nice and my partners veggie lasagne tasted really nice.

Not being here for about 20 years and it made a nice change . Unfortunately everything is getting expensive nowadays and personally I thought it was expensive for what we got , even with home made chips which were lovely may I add . My steak was to fatty - but I did chose the cheaper one and my daughter didn't like her curry but my lad did like his gammon . Staff made us feel rushed like they couldn't wait get someone else on the table which I hate

Not been in a while and took husbands sister with us. Food was excellent, just had it had been on our last visit. The service was really good. Unfortunately, my husband became ill/faint-like. while we were there. The staff helped me to get him to a chair by the fire doors for cooler air They also provided cool cloths to cool his head. They were really attentive and especially helpful in keeping an eye on my elderly sister in law. Nothing was too trouble for them. Thank. you Kelly and all the team on duty lunchtime on 11th September.

Really delicious Sunday roast!! As far as atmosphere and vibe go, it’s a fairly standard British pub, had a lick of paint somewhat recently in its life but the building is noticeably older with wires taped poking out of the walls… that said the overall appearance is good, and it absolutely doesn’t take away from the food. Service was a tad slow, but we were pretty laid back about it anyway. Really good beef on the Sunday roast, highly recommended and a really good price point too.

We went with some family today, servers are friendly. I had the roast beef dinner which wasnt very warm and it was served on a cold plate so went really cold quick. Tastes nice when it was warmer. My husband had the sweet chilli tofu which he said was nice but the pitta bread it came with was a bit tough. For pudding I had the brownie which was really nice but again the custard was lukewarm, I like my custard hot. Husband had the tiramisu which was really small especially for over £6. For this and a pint and half of marreti was £44.60 Probably won't go again, for food anyway.

Went on a Friday night and hadn't booked. However, the staff are great and found us a table straight away even though it was busy. Food order was taken and drinks were prompt, but that's where it stops. Food was very mediocre on both courses. Frozen and churned out quickly. Chips were overdone and aired. I really wanted the place to do well , but the food has to change ... maybe OK for a cheap family get together.

Not been to the Swynnerton Arms for a while as it keeps changing hands and whilst we've never had a bad meal, it's been inconsistent! 2nd visit in a week, service, food and drinks were spot on despite them having electrical issues! There's engineers on site fixing the issue, so don't be alarmed! Didn't wait an age, food was fantastic, and couldn't fault the service! If anything, added to the ambience as there were candles lit all around! Would highly recommend to anybody, food is spot on! If I could change anything, it'd be a little bit more choice on the £11.95 2 course menu, but that's just my personal choice, there's plenty on there to suit all diets even mine, but a bit more choice would be lovely. Great choice of starters though, and would recommend the Curried Cauliflower! We'll be back, without a doubt! Seems to be in good hands at the minute!
