This pub serves some of the best food I have ever eaten. It’s modern, inventive, beautiful and delicious! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and we are always made to feel incredibly welcome.

An outstanding restaurant , what makes it so pleasant is that it is actually a pub and still feels like a pub. No pretentiousness at all , just a lovely sociable atmosphere. We had the set menu and every one was a treat. Three desserts was a bit of an odd one for me but two of them would make my last ever meal selection. Hard to judge favourites but the beef tartare and the venison were stunning. Great staff at every point. Sommelier a star- happy to explain but not to preach or lecture. The wine flight was another treat.Lovely to meet the owner too. The whole place is a treat. The skill in the kitchen is reflected in the food but the skill of everyone involved is evident in the great night they provided. Thank you. We hope to return. Good luck.

I absolutely love this place. The food is outstanding, the ambience relaxed and the service is fabulous. We were a party of eight who enjoyed lunch on a Friday late in December. We travel 50 miles to get to the White Swan and it is very worth it. Well worth the journey though. I am trying to get as many folks as I can here and lucky enough to be back next week with some other friends for lunch again. How lucky I am.

Had fancied going to the WS for a while and finally found an excuse to be down from Edinburgh to pay it a visit and wasn't disappointed. There's one menus with 3 starters, 2 mains and 2 sweets and you go through the lot for £65 per head. Highlights on on our visit: tomato broth, beetroot ice-cream, halibut with lush hollandaise, squab pigeon and a fab champagne/yuyzu/pink grapefruit sorbet. As it's a Timothy Taylor pub you can enjoy the delights of Boltmaker and Landlord to your heart's content. Only small niggle was the lack of half bottles or carafes of wine and a limited selection by the glass - I'd expand the list. But this is just quibbling. Service was excellent from the friendly team. There is a decent hotel and a pub to stay within 1 mile or so. It's well worth a visit but make sure you book as it's small enough to be full on most enough. There's no question it's more than good enough.

We had an absolutely fabulous meal, we couldn’t fault any aspect of our dining experience . The White Swan deserves its Michelin star and all the other awards it has received . Every course was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. We will definitely return . Ps the service was also excellent .

We had been before and found the lighting too bright and decor rather like being in someone’s front parlour, it was the same this time. But what was worse, we were very cold throughout our visit! We were first situated by the door, and sat with our coats on, I asked if we could move and luckily after our first course we were relocated, and I had a radiator at my back. Should have been perfect, but no, we were still shivering. This is an old building, high ceilings and open plan and every time the door opened there was a drop in temperature, which would be sorted by placing a small fan heater above the door. The food was fabulous, the staff terrific, but being cold throughout our stay means we will not go again in the colder seasons. This is an expensive place to eat, we expect to be kept warm.

If you haven't been to the White Swan (in Fence, Lancs) it is well worth the trip. Significantly better than anything in city center Manchester, the 65 pound, 6 course tasting menu was outstanding. Great balance across all the dishes. Friendly and efficient service, they went out of their way to make sure I could get on a meeting I had to take in a quiet setting. We will definitely be back next time we're back in England.

Given a voucher for the taster menu by family. Six courses plus a couple of extras. Absolutely stunning food, perfect presentation and brilliant service. Menu included three things that I don’t like but the way they were incorporated into the dishes meant that I really didn’t notice them at all. We will definitely be returning. This chef has some real talent!

We loved our return visit as much as we did 8 years ago. It was just by chance in 2015 when we booked the White Swan that we discovered their taster menu. It was the first of many and started us in our Michelin journey. Of course Tom didn't have his star at that time but we were delighted when he did and it's certainly a worthy contestant. The flavours still surpass one or two others (that we won't mention) and we just loved every course. Thank you again. We will try and get to you before another 8 years is up, maybe when you get your 2nd star 😉. Well done - great night.

After great feedback from my daughters about a fantastic restaurant in a small village called Fence, near Burnley, we decided that we needed to go and try out this highly rated restaurant, The White Swan. On entry, we were warmly welcomed and shown to our table, what followed was a two hour extravaganza of fabulous food, great service and wonderful attention to detail. I have attached the menu below for you to ponder, what I can say is that we were blown away by the sheer brilliance of the food, so much so that we didn't once get to take a photo of any course as it came to the table. We just could not wait to eat them, it was only after the first one or two mouthfuls that one of us would remember that we should be photographing it. We honestly could not chose a "best course", every single one was beautiful, fantastic to eat and seasoned perfectly. At £65 for the lunch tasting menu, it is an absolute bargain.

Excellent hosts and a lovely friendly atmosphere. We always get a lovely welcome here! The White Lion is a very old traditional inn, that has been modernised but still retains its charm. We last visited on a Sunday evening and enjoyed a live acoustic music event which is held there each month. The pub provided supper for the musicians, which on this occasion was delicious pizzas. We found the hosts to be welcoming, friendly and generous. Would highly recommend.

Really lovely traditional little pub 🍻 right on the canal to start walks from, Good amount of seating and swift service at the bar for food and drink ordering. Loaded fries were well presented and a great lighter bite 🤤 good aray of non alcoholic drinks
