First night in Eardisland and wanting a decent evening meal. The Swan welcomed us in providing a small but reasonable menu. Good and friendly service. Food well presented and delicious. Good sized portions and good value.

Sat in the beer garden for drinks, the waiter was friendly and kindly brought menus outside for when he thought we were going to eat. To be honest the outside looked a little tatty which was a shame. Plus we also decided not to eat and didn’t go back but it did start to fill up so seemed popular

Staff were very chatty and friendly and kept coming over to see if we needed anything. Food was average, gammon was okay but lamb was tough and grizzly. Plenty of chips and was all piping hot. Seemed a bit expensive for what we got but overall nice enough.

Popped in today with my partner for a drink. We arrived to a quiet bar with one gentleman sat at the bar we were “greeted” by a very hostile male behind the bar who was clearly inconvenienced by our custom. He was cold, unwelcoming and miserable, and we felt immediately like we shouldn’t be there. Conversing with a person at our campsite today, he asked what we had done with our day, when we explained where he had been, he said he wouldn’t go in there because of the same miserable server. I have since gone on reviews here and can see they are consistent with the “welcome” we received today. If you are the landlord of this pub, dismiss him, he clearly is doing nothing for your business. If the landlord is the same server today at 2.30pm, stick a smile on it, it could simply increase your turnover…..substantially.

Went in for drinks and maybe lunch. There was a non existent welcome from the bar person, I came to the opinion that we’d interrupted something. We were obviously late for Sunday dinner, so that wasn’t an option. I ordered our drinks, my pint needed a top up, as the pint measure is too the top of the glass, not an inch below (bring back imperial glasses) I asked if he would mind topping it up, he begrudgingly did so. The atmosphere in the pub was non existent, so we didn’t bother having another drink, and left once we’d finished our drinks. We wouldn’t go there again.

My family and I went to The White Swan for Sunday lunch and had a fantastic time. The food was delicious, with great vegetarian options too! Loved the community-feel of the pub. Everyone was so welcoming, great atmosphere, great staff with lots of laughter and smiles all round. Will definitely be visiting again on our next trip to Eardisland. The White Swan is a credit to the village! Tim and the team were fantastic. Would definitely recommend a visit if you are taking a trip to Eardisland!

This is a nice pub although very old. We stopped off for a drink before heading home to Monmouth. The staff were very pleasant and friendly on our arrival and we enjoyed our drinks sitting in the snug. A nice ending in this pretty village to our Black and White villages trail.

We love visiting Eardisland but our usual venues for refreshments were closed so we called at the 'White Swan . To say the landlord is not 'a people person' hits the nail on the head . Coffee was not available as 'the machine was broken' and not willing to put the kettle on for tea. Friends had cold drinks and we sat in the garden which had dog poo in it despite us being the first customers of the day . No cake/biscuits available either.

For a start the menu consisted of about 4 burgers and nothing else. My friend and I ordered the vegetarian burger and I wanted coleslaw, which was on the menu - no coleslaw available. My friend's chips were tasteless and dry so probably frozen. The burgers were lukewarm and would probably have been ok if they were hot and if I'd wanted a burger in the first place. We should have walked out when we saw how dingy and grubby the place looked and the excuse for a menu but stuck it out and went to Ritas Tearooms next door for a pudding. The White Swan should not be open to paying customers.

Visited while staying in the area, we booked for 6pm dinner. We turned up early, for a few drinks beforehand. Met with a surly attitude, anything was too much trouble for the landlord. My autistic son was searching for the gents, met with sarcastic comments from the landlord, 'are you looking for the toilets? They are where it says toilets', obvious even for an autistic lad. I thought i would even try to engage with the landlord, thinking perhaps not being from the area, a bit of a locals pub. To no avail. Ludlow Brewery beer is great, when kept well. Warm Ludlow Gold, cloudy Best. We were then told we 'must bring our glasses back to the bar'. We do anyway, but to be dictated to, doesn't exactly endear the landlord to the customers. After this 'greeting', we decided to check on availability next door for food, but we're fully booked, no wonder this place is empty. We left without food, we didn't even order. We decided on a BBQ, went and fetched food and cooked ourselves. The kitchen looked awful, didn't want chance it if beer can't even be kept correctly. Shame really. Lovely village, go to the Cross in, where the staff are friendly, and above all, the garden is clean and cared for. Again, no wonder the Swan was empty.

Driving through Eardisland we stopped for a drink and received such a warm, friendly welcome from the landlord, we decided to have Sunday lunch too. I chose the beef and was not disappointed. It was cooked to perfection, and my husband said his turkey was very good too. Plenty of vegetables that were also cooked just right. Our dogs were not happy when we got home as the beef was too good to share! We will return! AT £15 a head it was very good value.

When I rang to book our Sunday lunch (18/06/23) as we were holidaying in the area for a few days. I was informed that they were well known for their Sunday Lunches. I assumed the gent meant in a positive way not a negative one. Sadly it was a negative experience we had. We ordered the Roast Beef it was that or Roast Gammon. But both my wife and I found 3/4 of our beef was tough and unable to cut with the knife let alone chew. Thankfully they allow dogs in and having taken our dog with us she had most of the beef as she does not have the same concerns about tough and fatty beef. The staff were pleasant enough but sadly our Sunday lunch left a lot to be desired. I explained to a member of staff about the beef and the fact we had to feed it to the dog as we were unable to eat it and he said he had passed on our comments. To whom I have no idea?. I assume he felt paying £15 a head to feed most of the meat to your dog was acceptable. We were not. So as you can expect we will not bother going back again for Sunday lunch. I can not comment on any of their other food as it was the first and sadly last time we are likely to go there.

We ate at the White Swan on Thursday evening for superb fish and chips, and only what fantastic value at just £6.50 for a huge portion. We then went back on Friday for lunch and dinner, again superb the steak and ale pie yummy yummy yummy. Saturday again lunch and dinner, we had fish and chips again they were so good on Thursday. The beer batter is so crisp and the fish fresh, the beer is the landlord Tim's own brew. This brings me to the next point, the beer is superb we were drinking beer jolais, a light golden brew that's so good you just glug it back. This one of Tim's home brews, the other that I sampled was red leg. A darker beer with lovely hoppy fuller flavour. And finally the last piece of this brilliant local pub, the team that run it. Tim is very welcoming, nothing is too much trouble and every guest is appreciated. Tim has found a gem, a great barman will get to know his customers and make them feel special, like family Chip or Chippy does this. We loved our long weekend, so much so we are back before Christmas for another. If you are in Eardisland pop in for fantastic food, brilliant beer and awesome service.Thanks teamJon and Viv

Non greasy crunchy chips ~ better than almost all Chip shops which tend to be oily and floppy in comparison.The White Swan F&C Thursday is already popular and with Covid rules and regulations, the takeaway options is going to get more popular.Book in advance otherwise you could be disappointed, but the Sharp's Atlantic is worth travelling for.

Garden looked lovely which is a positive. Staff were friendly and attentive. Unfortunately the charge of £10 per childs meal (which we didn't know before ordering) was extreme for a plate of bland nuggets and chips. Quiche pastry wasnt cooked and there no veg to be seen in it despite it being a vegetable quiche. My soft drink was weak and flat. Fish and chips were nice though. Menus weren't paper and replaceable despite covid. 'chef' came out between cooking with no chefs whites, apron, hat etc..

The pub is hundreds of years old with sections added over the centuries and behind it is a large car park and lovely garden area.

We visited the White Swan whilst staying at Arrowbank for our annual Christmas family get together. All of our meals were pre-ordered as there was a large group of us. Firstly my soup was cold in pockets and hot in others, typical of microwaved soup - but tasted ok once stirred but it reminded me of tinned vegetable soup. The steaks then came out with chips, an onion ring, mushrooms and tomato. The vinegar on the tables was off, it looked like it had been in the bottle for years! Whilst getting ready to eat a few of us noticed a distinct odour that I can only describe as rotting flesh. We cut the meat and the smell from the steak knocked us sick. The steak was bad/spoiled. From this point on none of us could continue to eat, even the steaks that didn’t smell bad as the ‘smell’ was at this point up our noses so to speak. The barman came over and said they were fresh and seemed perplexed as to why we was complaining. He went to fetch the owner who advised he liked his steaks well hung. Some of these steaks were completely off. He did offer and replaced the steaks but we couldn’t continue with the evening and cancelled deserts. The barman was also rude when we asked for drinks, he said ‘I’m busy serving!’ We was the only people in the pub! There was no music for ambience, the whole experience was terrible and the food was not cheap. No reduction offered. We cancelled puddings and also cancelled Sunday lunch the following day.We won’t be eating there again, we’ll stick to the Cross Inn next door where our mealson Friday were delicious.

Bumped into the landlord Tim when expecting to go into the village tea shop and after a brief conversation we couldn’t turn him down! Popped in for a swift half which turned into 2 pints and a rugby match each. Then we went back later for supper. Excellent burgers and steaks, all freshly prepared and cooked. Really good welcome, friendly service, nothing too much trouble. Going back in the morning to watch another rugby match - WALES !!

Nothing is to much trouble for Tim and his Team. Cannot recommend them highly enough. A real family pub where my two girls are always welcome.

Stopped on our way home to break the journey. The service was excellent, very efficient and friendly. The pub has a beautiful garden as well as plenty of space inside. It's a quirky old building and despite it being very busy we didn't have long to wait for our perfectly cooked fish and chips-served on newspaper!

Spent a lovely few days in the beautiful village of Eardisland mid July 2019 lovely friendly local people and had the pleasure of visiting the White Swan Pub. The landlord Tim was very welcoming and Chip the barman/waiter was very accommodating and couldn’t do enough for you. Had wonderful meals on two consecutive nights and if like me you like a steak this is the place. All in all a smashing traditional pub with excellent food and staff. Would recommend a visit.

We booked for a family of 8.We asked for a 5 minutes warning as we were sat out side in the beautiful beer garden. There was a clean high chair for the litte one. Even though we all ordered bar meals we were in the restaurant. The children's food was on cold plates which is perfect for little one. The food was very good fresh and very tasty all homemade. Everybody cleaned their plates.

We had a lunchtime meal for 12 today following my dad's funeral. Tim, the owner, very kindly let us have the dining room to ourselves. The food was excellent as was the service and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much Tim, Lorna and Chip for making a difficult day easier to bear

We had my wife’s 70th birthday and she requested a celebration at the Swan. It was the right decision, We had 14 great 3 course meals and every one really enjoyed it. Thank you Tim and your team for a really great evening. We will be back later this year.

We began our holiday in the white swan on Thursday evening. We were all made to feel very welcome and felt at home right away. We were looked after very well especially considering there was 13 of us! We called in again on the Friday and received once again an outstanding service. The rain was heavy so that evening that Tim even offered to give some of us a lift home to save us getting soaked. What a lovely man! Again we were warmly welcomed and again felt at ease right away. We booked in for the Saturday evening for a meal in the restaurant and were catered for excellently. We were made a special sharing starter with no bother at all and Tim even made a special homemade peppercorn sauce for the steak dish. All of the food was cooked outstandingly and was truly delicious and the deserts were just brilliant.The timings were also perfect which must have been tricky due to the large number of people they were catering for and this was gratelly appriciated. Overall the meal was outstanding and certainly helped make our holiday. Due to the fantastic service received and friendly atmosphere we all were in agreement in deciding to book again for Sunday lunch the following day. The lunch was cooked perfectly and the deserts were outstanding. A great atmosphere and great service received allowed to us all to truly fee at ease and enjoy our holiday. We loved every moment we spent in the white swan and all would like to thank Tim and the staff greatly. THIS IS HOW TO RUN A PUB! Thank u all so much. Strongly recommend this service! We will definitely be returning very soon! The McGauleys & Conk x

Called into the White Swan on a Thursday night and decided to try their Fish & Chip supper for £6.50 It was, without doubt, the best fish & chips I have ever tasted. The home made beer batter was crisp, and the fish just melted in the mouth. I would recommend this without hesitation and will definitely be returning.

Booked an evening meal whilst staying in log cabin near by. Large portions of home cooked food, quick service and friendly and helpful staff. Reasonably priced, in fact we were surprised and were expecting to pay more for the quality. The decor is lovely as well, quite cozy on an autumn evening. Will definitely return next time we are in the area

Just dropped in on spec for a lunchtime meal. Excellent service, very friendly staff, delicious food and great value. As of October 2024 you'll get a good sized meal for about a tenner. Good choice of ales etc. Location is perfect for visiting the cathedral and city. If you need an EV charger there's one about 100 meters up the road.
