Best to book (which is easy to do now it is online) as most tables reserved when we arrived. No complaints at all regarding the food, drinks or service. Unfortunately, we were sat next to a large group of people whose children were constantly making noise on their electronic gadgets. Fortunately, we were able to move so not a major issue in the end.

Unfortunately it’s a ‘pub’ for eating, not drinking. Stopped for a few beers but after 10 minutes a sign appeared on the table (in the bar) saying it was reserved and the time approaching - just stopping for one then. You could at least not allow tables to be reserved for food in the bar area. It’s a shame because it could be a nice pub.

Always an absolute pleasure coming to the White Swan 🦢 Food and drinks are always refreshing and delicious, staff are professional yet warmly welcoming. Many memories had here through the years (born in Derby now living in Scotland). Highly recommend as there's restaurant area and bar area with TV and Footie matches on, so easy to feel relaxed. 🌹

Moved to the area not long ago, this pub is lovely, all the food we have had has been well made, tasty and good priced. The bar staff are welcoming and polite. Each time we’ve been in we’ve had the same waitress, she is absolutely lovely, very friendly and has made us feel very welcome. We’ll be visiting a lot more, thank you for being so welcoming and friendly.

This is our local pub and always loved it Visited today for the first time in a while but had to sit outside as the bar area stinks of dog!!! It's disgusting. What a shame as the food, service, staff, ambience, beer is great. It wasn't even a wet day, it was dry. But that doggy smell is just too much in a small bar. Gross. We pay good money for drinks, the dogs don't!!!! Get them back outside only!!! 🤢🤢

Lovely local village pub. Its always absolutely heaving inside so if you want a table make sure you reserve. Great ales and food. Portion sizes are massive. Even the light bites are huge so you won't go hungry. Very friendly staff that always have a smile of their faces. We're always asked if we've enjoyed the food and if we're at the bar there's always chit chat with every bartender!

Came back again after few months, no table booked, restaurant packed and despite that, we were accommodated to the bar area. Waited a bit for the food, but it was worth the wait. Staff friendly as usual, fish and chips still one of the best but I would also recommend the gammon steak: really juicy and tasty. We will definitely come back !

We went on a busy Saturday evening.. We had booked a table, as we had been told we needed to book well in advance. It was loud & busy when we arrived at 7pm, we were shown to our table with our 2 friends. We read the menu & waited to be served. Unfortunately, we were unaware that the food & drink had to be ordered from the bar, we assumed the orders would be taken at the table. That being said, all 4 meals arrived at the same time, well presented. I had ordered a rump steak, which was nedium, as I had asked for. We all really enjoyed our meals, which were well cooked & presented. We enjoyed our visit, & will definitely be back

Order 2 chicken tikka masalas with everything, and a children’s cheese burger meal. Everything came out wrong, and I mean everything. Waited for it to be corrected and was told “The £49 doesn’t cover the rice and popadoms so that will still need to be paid for”. Curry came out swimming in oil, so exchanged for a lasagne. Lasagne was more of a deconstructed lasagne soup. Fluff and hair was all over the child’s meal, especially on the plate, carrots and bun of the burger. OVERPRICED GARABE. Go elsewhere if you value your money and want a proper meal, ok if you lost your taste buds to Covid.

They say this place is dog friendly. Ugh. I walked in and a member of staff, rudely and immediately said, "You can't come in with him" (my dog). I didnt have a chance to ask if he could come in. It turns out, obviously, they don't like dogs in the busy restaurant between the hours of 12.00 to 14.00 I decided to try again on a sunny day we sat outside, with the dog, I walked inside and a very nice chap served me to the two cups of tea, delivered to us outside. A change of my opinion - very nice very well presented. There was a gent in the bar with a dog? What!!! Double standards spoiling the opinion. This is off my list to go again.

It was kind of a last minute decision to check this place out. A picture of the menu said gluten free options available. I was amazed by how many things I was able to eat today at Sunday roast. They were able to whip up gluten free gravy and said if they had notice they could have made me gluten free Yorkshire pudding.

Visited today for Sunday dinner with friends. This was our first visit, but our friends have been before and highly recommended we try this pub. Their recommendation was good, as the meal (Sunday carvery) was first class, choice of beef, pork or turkey and an excellent selection of perfectly cooked fresh vegetables. Everything tasted perfect and all four of us agreed that it has to be the best Sunday carvery we have ever had for choice, freshness and value. Drinks service at the bar was friendly and prompt thanks to the always smiling and polite bar team and the pub has a great selection of drinks including an extensive selection of real ales. The pub has a nice warm and welcoming atmosphere and is very pleasantly decorated. For Sunday dinner it is advisable to book in advance as this pub does get very busy due to being so popular.

At 16.40 was then told our table was booked from 17.30, OK, no reservation on table but we just accepted that. At 16.45, just as was getting another drink, was told table was booked for 17.00. Landlord stood by and never acknowledged issue. We quickly drank and left. We will not be back. Poor service. Expected better.

Just wanted to make a special mention to the blonde member of staff who was very thoughtful and attentive for my 9-month-old son. We called in mid-week for a meal (18:30, on 01/02/23) and without asking, she was kind enough to bring a couple of cooked chips out for him to nibble on as well as bringing out children's cuttlery. She also gladly provided us with some boiling water which we don't normally ask for. Food and drink all great. All the staff were friendly and helpful, but this lady deserves a mention in my book!

We went for the carvery 22 Jan 23. 🍖: beef was dry, turkey was good (I didn't try the pork) ****Goooood gravy****😁 Fantastic mashed potatoes maybe the best I've had at a carvery to date. 😁😁 Cold Yorkshire puddings 😓 though...which made them chewy and stale tasting. The dining space to is far too cramped, it's not designed for sitting and resting. That said if you don't mind "in and out" dining style it could work for you. The staff were great!

My friend and I booked a table for lunch but we had to wait quite a while before being served. I ordered steak to be medium but it was full of gristle and was more like well done. My friend had a pie with mash which was fine. I was very disappointed because the chef woukd have seen the amount of gristle in the steak before cooking it. It was a shame the pub was very busy which of course it should be at this time of year. I didn't pay for my steak but it spoilt what should have been a nice lunch with my friend
