The White Swan Conington Freehouse in South Cambridgeshire

This was a family event and the venue was selected for its location (we travelled from Rushden, Cambridge and Shropshire) and the website and reviews. We were not disappointed! The service was excellent. Delicious starters included bouillabaisse, smoked salmon & crayfish parcels and Thai king prawns. Mains that proved very popular were ham, egg and chips, 12 hour beef, and poacher's chicken. The quality of the fare belied what appeared, as we arrived in the dark, to be a fairly unpretentious exterior.

My Brother and my sister in law invited me to join them for dinner, I have never eaten at this restaurant/ pub before, the atmosphere was very nice, we had a nice table, the selection on the menu was spot on and the specials were mouth dropping delicious. We both chose Steamed Suet Jeff pudding, with vegetables and graveyard, but for starters we had Salmon filled with cray fish and cream cheese with a delicate light small salad around the ball of filled salmon. The was absolutely superb delicious and incredibly well presented. Throughly enjoyed the dinner, obviously and very talented head chef with excellent skills to produce high quality food like this. I highly recommend this restaurant but book well in advance as they are so popular (no wonder) plenty of parking space easy to get to. Sincerely Lester.

Dinner for three adults was excellent. Choice of ‘pub classics’ or ‘a la carte’ menu sections plus fish specials. Sat in the restaurant area, which is nicely decorated and has lovely atmosphere. Service was superb- attention to detail from all staff. Also has a cosy sofa bar, lovely outdoor seating area and big play area for kids. Can’t fault this pub!

In the summer we usually come to this pub at least once a fortnight and sometimes once a week - it was one of our favourite pubs in the area until today. I went to the bar to place our usual order for lunch to be eaten outside. As the price of the food seemed slightly higher than normal I asked for a receipt for the food. I noticed a 10% service charge had been added. I asked the young lad behind the bar what this was for. He said it’s because you are eating outside. Eh? We’ve never been charged this before nor was this charge mentioned on the.menus/website before we ordered. At this stage, I should have just asked for the food to be cancelled and asked for a full refund as it is a pet hate of mine for service charges to be added sneakily without being mentioned anywhere - if I want to leave a tip I will do so and have done so in the past but it’s not even like you take food and drinks orders outside at the tables like the previous landlord and landlady so what actually is this charge for? What a joke. If you need to charge more for food just add it to the cost advertised on the menu rather than upset existing customers. Anyway to add insult to injury the food came out a little too quickly for my liking. The chips were like luke warm and the sausages looked worryingly anaemic and were not very warm. I wondered if they had been badly reheated. Anyway I gave most of my anaemic, luke warm sausage to my dog and we left. We’d normally stay for more drinks. And also no one bothered to ask if our food was ok - they have done in the past. Sad to say we won’t be back!

Wow Richard And Andrea what amazing hosts, all the staff so friendly and a fantastic chef , food was the best pub food i have ever had . Fish and chips were very fresh full of flavour and piping hot, The beer garden is perfect location , Will look forward to returning very soon. An excellent country pub, great find in the countryside, definitely worth a trip .

I had an Adnams Ghost Ship and a seafood salad which were lovely in the garden on a mostly sunny summer day served by excellent staff.

What a beautiful English Country Pub serving an absolutely delicious Sunday Roast. The food was so fresh, high quality and cooked to perfection with a great team working there. Starters were very tasty and a perfect size. Three had Roast Pork and one Roast Beef. The quality of the produce and ingredients speak for themselves, the Yorkshire Puds are insane and all served with a great variety of vegetables. We will be back and highly recommend.

This will be a short review. Imagine the perfect Sunday lunch, then go here and enjoy it. Fresh, plentiful, excellent service. Not cheap, but great value.

We have been going to this pub for nearly 40 years. Various owners and some good and/or not. The last few years have been very good but our lunch on Friday was the best ever. Beautiful sea bass with an amazing sauce and my husband's favourite, steak and mushroom suet pie. He was in heaven. Fabulous menu. I think I will have 2 starters next time. Couldn't manage pudding but espresso affogato with amaretto biscuits finished the meal beautifully.

The new Huntingdon bypass may make it a little harder to get to from the A14, but this place is absolutely worth it. Beautifully home-cooked food in a traditional, welcoming setting, and even the kids' portions are amazing with possibly the best chips ever.

We popped in for a spot of lunch. Food excellent & a good price too. The staff were very polite & attentive - Thank You We will be going back I can recommend this pub/restaurant.

Stopped off here today on a cycle ride from Cambridge. Staff were friendly and orders were quick. We had whitebait starters - whitebait was fab and the salad underneath was even better. Mains were a ciabatta - apparently really good, and I had trout with the best leek and spinach mash. We sat outside in the garden and enjoyed the sun. Couldn't fault it.

First time back since lockdown. This is a no fuss venue. The chips are triple cooked but they don't feel the need to mention it. The sirloin steak came with a boat of pepper sauce without it being an extra. I had a pork escallop in crispy breadcrumbs with a barbeque sauce that was to die for. The beer is still up to standard and very reasonably priced.

We arrived at the White Swan very late due to us getting lost, but the Staff were so accommodating they still served us an amazing meal, Thank you so much for everything 😀

Well what can I say! We had a family meal for my partners birthday. The staff were fantastic and so welcoming . The landlord (Neil I think) couldn't do enough for you and the landlady Caroline was so cheerful and helpful, rare these days. The food was superb I would recommend the beef curry! And the steaks were cooked to perfection. Will looked after our table and was a delight! Really couldn't recommend this place more. I will definitely be going back soon!

Three adults, three children - a lovely relaxed lunch outside in the garden of this country pub which lies down a quiet country lane. Good food, perfect service and overall great value.

Had a three course meal tonight sat 17th July it was superb all service provided promptly and with a smile food was cooked to perfection our stakes mine rare and my wife's medium to well done was spot on full to bursting thanks guys for a good evening

So impressed! We had the most gorgeous Sunday roast, huge portions, full of flavour and presented beautifully. Can’t fault it, staff were very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble.

Came with a large group , thought this might be tricky ....BUT NO ...very good table service ...Covid protocols , and the Beef , superb ...fresh vegetables..my fellow MG people had interesting starters , and I saw I huge Eaton Mess ...the sorting out of the Bill for such a large group very efficient....we sat in a huge marque outside ...very pleasant ...

I went to the white swan with family for a Father’s Day meal this year, nice setting and overall nice food. My Dad and I are both coeliacs and I had checked at the time of booking that there would be options for us and was told there would be. We both ordered the roast lamb and I asked for ours to both be gluten free, the waitress interrupted me to say yes fine we have gf gravy, as I was about to explain that they should remove any items that are not gluten free. She told me it was fine so I trusted that they knew what they were doing. When the meals were brought out I was very surprised to see a giant Yorkshire pudding on every plate, and gravy already on there. A separate jug of gluten free gravy was given to myself and my dad to go with our meals. I checked with the waitress and she went to ask the kitchen, then came back to say that the Yorkshire puddings were not gluten free. She asked me to pick it up from my plate and give it to her and then eat the rest of my meal. I explained that I couldn’t do that as I am a coeliac and would need a new meal. She was apologetic but it gave me absolutely no reassurance as to what was going on in the kitchen, I would never expect a chef to put Yorkshire puddings on plates that were supposed to be gluten free meals! In 6 years of being a coeliac I’ve not had an experience like this. I also had no idea what was in the gravy on my plate or the stuffing, nobody reassured me that it was all gluten free. After this experience I’m afraid I wouldn’t be keen to eat here again, the staff definitely need more education on allergies and dietary requirements, it’s really important!

On the phone I asked them if they can deal with my celiac dietry illness and they said yes. When I arrived with an old skool friend and my wife the chef Alex came and spoke to me and said that he will make sure that no butter, milk and wheat flour will be used in the lamb dish. This was totally the case when I ate and really enjoyed the food. No bloating etc afterwards. This pub, resto really cuts the mustard. Good foo Avant Garde food. I will be going back.

Went with family. The food was totally amazing - half the table has sausage and mash with fantastic black pudding fritters and the best red cabbage ever. The others had fish and chips with crushed peas - the best chips in the world.Puddings were light and tasty with freshly made vanilla custard.We tried several of the beers between us, and had coffee.Worked out £22 per head, and we were all stuffed to the gunwhales- had to have naps afterwards!The outdoor seating was comfortable and the service was top-notch; fast, efficient and friendly Already looking forward to our next visit.

We had a lovely meal here at the weekend - lots of choice and each of our different meals were great, with big portion sizes for the desserts! The reason for my review though is due to the outstanding service we received. At around 9PM, my partner realised he had forgotten to arrange a roast dinner for his 94 year old grandmother the following day and although The White Swan wasn’t serving roasts, they made it happen for us. Better still, they served it up on a plate and said just bring it back when we can (we’ll return it in the next few days!). This is the kind of service that makes us want to come back and tell all of our friends so I can see many pub garden nights here this summer! Thanks also for all of the Covid safe measures and patio heaters, they were very much appreciated while it’s still chilly at night!

Always go to the white swan and always impressed with the food and service. But last night was wonderful. I took my mum for the 1st time and as she doesn't eat to much I asked if myself and my mum could share a meal was expecting 2 plates to sort it out. But no they went the extra mile and split the meal into 2 separate bowls salad each and garlic bread each. We so impressed and the lasagna was amazing. Thanks again for such a wonderful evening

Mrs P and I had lunch here consisting of ham, egg & chips and fish & chips with "mushy peas". I'd made a reservation so on arrival we were shown to our choice of table and offered drinks. All COVID precautions in place. Service was very good and efficient. Good quality tasty food BUT mushy peas are not mashed or crushed garden peas! This isn't the only pub/restaurant to misdescribe their peas but I was gutted when my crushed/mashed garden peas arrived :( Oh, and the service charge? If you want to charge more for the food and drinks then do so but in my book adding a service charge is not cool.

My daughter and I went here last Thursday as it was my birthday and did not want to cook. I have passed this pub many a time and always told myself, I will go there one day. The pub was quite busy outside when we arrived, ample parking facilities. As it was raining we opted to eat inside. The lovely bubbly young lady took out drink order, which another equallly lovely and friendly lady took us through to the eating area so we could choose where we ate. It is currently a reduced menu due to the situation. We both fancied fish and chips. Best ones I have ever had, and we eat out a lot, presentation was good, food piping hot. We was stuffed after that, but a meal is not complete without a dessert, again, wonderful texture, think it had white chocolate chips in it as well. All that for £43 including drinks. We are not able to use the eat out scheme due to work, but more than happy to pay full price for this. See you soon.

Lovely pub serving good honest homemade food. Always a great meal with friendly service. Good for couples, families and groups. You won’t be disappointed.

Our first visit post lockdown enjoyed a lovely evening meal, well laid out for social distancing, great food at a reasonable price.

Came here as a couple looking for some lunch during lockdown. Had freshly made pizza which was tasty and reasonably priced, staff provided hand sanitiser and had procedures in place to reduce Covid risks which was reassuring. Sat outside with a nice atmosphere and would definitely come back in the future.

My boyfriend and I visited here for lunch on Saturday and they were serving freshly made pizzas in the garden. The pizzas were very reasonably priced, really yummy and paid for as you ordered to minimise contact with staff. This is very reassuring, as I was anxious to come out during this time. Hand sanitizer was also provided. Overall, very good service and really nice food!

Taken 3.5 years to try again after the weird meal from a chef that couldn’t cook eaten in an empty restaurant. How things have changed. Friday night and Full bars, full restaurant serving large portions of pub food at a very good price. Staff really efficient and friendly. Despite being extremely busy food came out very quickly. Enjoyed the very large salmon and prawn starter and the special of lamb ragu plus excellent beer poured straight from the barrel. A really excellent evening and another visit planned soon..

Had a small family gathering to enjoy a meal prior to Christmas. Service was EXCELLENT!! Very attentive staff, taking pride in every aspect of the meal from the time we were seated until we decided to end our rather lengthy visit. DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!Four-legged guests are more than welcome!A good time had by all! Will certainly visit again in future.

6 of us went on a Thursday afternoon for a lunch and bit of team bonding. Lovely rural setting, food was excellent as was the service. Great ambiance in this place and much better than any chain restaurant. Typical pricing of around £30 for starter, main and dessert and then plus drinks. Highly recommended

Ate here on a Saturday night. The White Swan offers a selection of real ales in barrels, a good food & wine menu plus a specials board coupled with friendly faultless service. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food which was of a high quality, we would highly recommend. Overall an excellent meal at reasonable prices.

Had lunch here today and had the best steak and kidney pudding we’ve ever had. This is the second time we’ve had lunch here and a on both occasions the food has been excellent. As well as excellent food the staff are very friendly, the bar has area has a great atmosphere and it is dog friendly. We will not leave it too long before we come back.

Stopped here for lunch today on a long drive along the A14. A very small detour and so worth it for lovely home cooked food and great service. Highly recommended.

We met a group of friends here for a Christmas lunch get-together. Pre-lunch drinks in the bar with a cosy log burning fire. We had pre-ordered our food, which was served promptly by friendly waitresses. Food was great, tasty and hot. We had coffee, tea and mince pies by the fire, and felt comfortable to stay for a while for a chat. Very good value -would recommend.

The best Christmas lunch I’ve had in a pub/ restaurant ever. Lots of turkey, all the trimmings, red cabbage, roast pots and parsnips, cauliflower cheese and bowls of winter veg, extra gravy and cranberries- just wonderful. Then you so much to all the team

A group of friends really enjoyed a great meal here.Generous starter and huge Christmas meal with plenty of fresh vegetables and very large Yorkshire pudding.Just as well some of us passed desert and waited for the mince pies and coffee.Great cask beer including 0% Ghost Ship.

Charming building from the outside, and quirky bar with great selection of cask ales, clearly popular with locals. The food and service was spot on, with reasonable menu prices. Recommended

Visited today to meet my sister, half way between Nottingham & Colchester. Has a lovely meal, hospitality was excellent, we were there for a while and felt very comfortable. The landlord and landlady were great, had numerous cups of tea all provided with a smile. Will definitely arrange to meet up there again. My daughter had the special, lamb rump, she loved it, two of us had salad and my brother in law had lasagna, meals were excellent and very tasty. Thank you.

I think this place must have a new chef because it has really picked up it's game recently. I had a homemade chicken and chorizo pie which was superb, served with new potatoes and greens. The beer choice isn't expansive but there are enough to choose from. And the kiddies play park is great weather permitting.

Went here for lunch with friends from a car club. Service was very prompt and the food was excellent. My husband rated his steak as one of the best he'd ever had and my lasagna was extremely tasty. If i had to be nit-picking - while the bar is very cosy the restaurant part is quite stark and without soft furnishings it tended to be noisy. However the food and the friendly service more than made up for this.

We were stuck on the motorway going to see family and were diverted through local roads. We accidentally got to The White Swan and figured this was as good as any for going to the loo @ 9.30 p.m.

Booked a table for 2pm. Good job we did. The place was full. We only live a couple of villages away, but haven't been here for ages. Read the reviews on here looking for a good Sunday dinner locally, and booked it on the strength of the reviews. Definitely lives up to all the 5 star reviews it gets. Gets off to a good start with the atmosphere as you pull into the car park with lovely countryside surroundings. Upon entering we were quickly and efficiently shown to our table which felt quite private even the the restaurant was busy. We both had the paté to start. 100% home made and delicious. Plenty of toast nice lightly dressed salad and even a portion of new potato. It looked more like a main course than a starter. The main was just as good. Excellent size portions and so tasty, without being blow your head off rich. Lots of little touches to the veg to make it special with delicious parsnips. Yorkshire was gold and crisp and light, cauliflower cheese was just how it would be if you were pleased with one you had prepared at at home like it with golden melted cheese on top. All of the staff were attentive and looked as though they were actually enjoying the job. Cheesecake was just as good. Another good size portion (enough for two after the large starter and main.) Didnt feel rushed even though we were one of the last tables to leave, and the bill didnt arrive until we asked for it. All in all we are now looking forward to returning when the opportunity arises. Absolutely nothing not to like!

Brilliant Sunday dinner. Still full 8 hours on. Huge Yorkshire pudding, great vegetables, service was top notch

The best Sunday lunch I’ve had when eating out! Huge portions of really well done fresh food. Especially love the amount of fresh veg & extra gravy. Excellent value & great to see Neil & Caroline. This could become a very pleasant habit. Thanks & delighted to see how well the pub is doing.

We were a party of 10 for Sunday Roast. By far it was the best Roast that I have had in a long long time. The 8 hr slow cooked Lamb was amazing and the Combo takes a lot of eating!

Visited today by recommendation, couldn’t fault anything, great cask beer, really really good food, wonderful staff, friendly patrons, very reasonably priced. What else do you say? We will be back very soon.

We visited the White Swan for Sunday lunch following a recommendation from a friend. Booking advised!

Buffet Pub - Attractive Food average, but replenished as needed but visted by too many flies Seating - O K but well worn

Went for my brothers 30th birthday party.

The atmosphere and the staff are brilliant, really went out of their way and very polite. There is a great play area for children and the seating areas outside are relaxing.

Even though there were 14 in our party and the place was really busy, we still all got served together and quickly. Delicious!

Haven’t been here for a few years.... gorgeous early spring day so grabbed an outside lunch..... we both had the ciabatta rolls with sweet potato fries..... well filled and really lovely! Well priced drunk no’s and excellent friendly service. Inside has range is lovely eating areas and good plat area for kids outside. Will certainly be back!

We called in for lunch on the way to Stansted. What a lovely surprise a quaint pub with delicious food. I wish it were nearer home so we could go again! The fish was so fresh - best I’ve had for a long time.

Great find - lovely little pub with top quality lunchtime food. Seven of us visited mid-week and we all thought the food was brilliant. Good value too.

Fantastic evening had by all. The staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. All the food came out hot and on time. Highly recommend a visit.

A traditional public house with a lively and friendly atmosphere that still accommodates regular locals as well as having an excellent restaurant. We really enjoyed our prawn starters, the roast beef Sunday lunch and the ‘Combo’ that was a selection of four Sunday roast meats. All were reasonably priced. It’s a pleasure to come to a public house such as this that has managed to retain such charm with such good quality food. We will be back and recommend it particularly for Sunday lunch.

Although they have a comprehensive menu, I decided to have a burger, salad and chips. I have always found their food delicious and good value, but had to write a review of what must be the best burger in Cambridgeshire.

It is easy to forget that hidden within this lovely old traditional pub is a really charming restaurant.

Only live in a surrounding village but this is the first time I have had a chance to eat in the establishment, however I have been in for drinks before.

If I could I would rate between 3 and 4 stars. The White Swan is definitely better than average but didn’t reach very good for me.

We celebrated my mother’s 80th birthday with a family lunch here with a party of twelve. The food was delicious, with ample portions! A lovely selection of seasonal vegetables to go with the main course.

This was my second time of visiting this pub for a lunch this year. Once again I could not fault the service. Friendly, attentive, warm and welcoming. The landlord and landlady, the waitress, the waiter - all so good at what they do. Food was really good.

This was our first time here, the food was excellent quality and presentation, the staff were attentive and polite. And the bonus - the beer is great.

Went here for dinner the pub had a good atmosphere warm and friendly the food was above par drink prices were average all in all not a bad place

Booked a table for Sunday Lunch for four people. Very welcoming and good choice of Roast Meats, although when beef was ordered they had sold out although when disappointment was shown by one of our table an extra beef was located. My husband ordered 8hr Slow Cooked Lamb I also chose with with Roast Pork as a combo of meats can be requested. Unfortunately when the lamb was received it was shredded rolled lamb which was a real disappointment if we had known we would not have ordered.

Our friends had their wedding reception here - lovely initiate reception venue with the use of a small marquee in the garden for a band and dancing. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather which meant the guests were outside in lovely grounds for nearly all of the time.

Visited with some friends and their children. It was lovely to spend the afternoon out in the garden where the kids could play on the playground. The food was very tasty and staff were happy to make some amendments to our orders. Prices reasonable and service was very friendly. Recommended.

Absolutely fantastic find, staff extremely friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was first rate for everybody and really good value. Overall a great meal, excellent value for money and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Went there for a family meal as it has a play area. We were seated in the corner in a dark bit of the restaurant by the kitchen door and very close to another table next to us, and there were flies swarming all over our food which was annoying.

I am sure the locals all love this quaint and interesting pub not just for its lovely atmosphere, interesting interior, it’s amusingly low bar but also for its wonderful food.

We visited on a Saturday night, quite busy. Great that they can accommodate a dog and provided water. The food is good value but a bit disappointing. We had a mezze starter which just wasnt right except the hummus. Burger and lasagne OK but side salad with the lasagne was disappointing. Good selection of beers but mostly volume ones, nothing special.

We dine here on our way to Newmarket. The food is always very good and staff very friendly. Very nice craft beers. Would recommend a visit

Went here on a gorgeous Summers day with my dad. The roast dinner is absolutely yummy with so much food on one plate. Tucked away in a lovely part of the Cambridge countryside. Sitting outside, enjoying a cold cider & good food doesn't get much better really. There's a great outdoor play area for children & if I was young again I'd have had a go on it! You can't go far wrong than to choose this place to fuel up.

A group of us ate here and we were all delighted with the food. Good sized portions, perfectly cooked and presented. I had pie which was delicious and it was proper pie, not a casserole with a puff pastry lid! Lovely seafood starter. I didn’t have dessert although a few did. I recommend the sticky toffee pudding; those who had it were very complementary. Sensible pricing, very attentive and cheerful staff. There is a good selection of proper beer served from casks. Will go again.

We visited last night for a family meal. Food was delicious, not even a complaint from our normally fussy 7yr old. Lovely, relaxed and homely feel to the pub, the climbing frame and swing was a very welcome added bonus.

Had a wonderful buffet spread for my 0 birthday! the staff and Caroline and Neil were brilliant-nothing too much trouble. They even parcelled up the "left overs" for us to take back- which was really good of them

Just had Sunday lunch with friends .

Excellent Sunday lunch and quick, friendly service. We had the sirloin of beef and the chicken supreme. We’ll be back with family very soon!

We visited the White Swan having not been there for a number of years. Interesting Bar set up and good real ales. Nice choice of dishes. Good service. Vegetables a bit undercooked for some of my group, this seems the modern trend and cauliflower cheese for Sunday lunch!!. Overall a good experience, a little more expensive than some local reivals.

My sister, brother and I met at the White swan on Saturday with my mum and siblings coming from Leicester and me from Southend on Sea. obviously this is a bit of a drive for all of us but it was right in the middle, but I have to say it was well worth it. A very friendly pub, the staff were so pleasant and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The food is fantastic, seven of us ate and you couldn't fault any of the meals. Great sized portions and beautifully cooked. Well done a fab night out and my mum loved it.

Booked for Sunday Lunch as we had been told that the food was really good and having stopped here for a drink previously and liking the look of the place decided to book a table. We were not disappointed as we were quickly shown to our table after ordering drinks at the bar. Service was excellent and the food was first class, great starters and good selection of roasts. Bear in mind the Swan gets very busy so booking is advisable.

Had a fantastic surprise birthday lunch today for 21 of us. The service and food couldn’t be faulted. Thank you to all at The White Swan.

Four of us, perfect meal and drinks, nothing was to much trouble for the staff. Will definitely visit again

We enjoyed lunch here with friends. The fire was lit and the bar was cosy. The dining room is bright and over looks fields. We were the first in but it soon filled up, and we soon realised why. Exceptional food. I had salmon/fish of the day, beautifully served on a bed of baby roast potatoes and Savoy cabbage, while the sausage and mash and the ham,egg and chips also disappeared rapidly. The trio of ice cream comes highly recommended, and the homemade strawberry especially so. Good crumble, and a lovely fudge tart also. We will definitely be back.

We stopped here on a whim and because of the reviews on here and we weren’t disappointed. The lovely lady...

We had dinner here with friends - great food, great atmosphere, lovely staff and friendly regulars/locals. We look forward to returning soon and the food and drink was very reasonably priced which was a bonus! Lovely cozy bar area for pre and post dinner drinks in front of a roaring fire - perfect!

From the moment we walked in we were made to feel at home. This pub has a cosy atmosphere, with plenty of warmth from the fire and a good selection of ales. The restaurant does not disappoint either. The service was swift, courteous and rapid, the food and wine to a high standard. We will be returning for sure.

A brilliant lunch portion sizes are excellent and staff are really friendly and helpful. Highly recommended

Lost for words at just how good this Sunday Lunch is. Unbelievable food in a busy but friendly and attentive environment. We sat by the wood burner till our table was ready listening to the banter between landlord and regulars. The restaurant staff looked out for our every need, the service was quick and efficient and the food was amazing. I’ve found my new

Had a really nice lunch with good food, the beer is excellent (Adams). Served direct from the barrel stored on shelves behind the bar. The food is good quality pub grub. Not far from the A14 if your passing. Staff very helpful and friendly.

We visited today and had the perfect Sunday lunch-roast beef and lamb cooked to perfection, really tender, and roasties as good as my own! Lovely fresh veg too, and delicious desserts. Friendly efficient staff, and warm welcome from Caroline the lovely landlady. Highly recommended for all family occasions.

Following my previous review, we had booked a family lunch to celebrate a birthday.The initial welcome at the bar was friendly & we ordered our drinks. We were then given a choice of two table locations - neither of which were ideal but we opted for one in the lighter area despite it being near a doorway and draughty. I was surprised that a table hadn't actually been reserved for us given that we had booked on our previous visit.We were given menus to peruse and a young girl then came to take our order. We explained that we required a serving of gravy without any onion flavouring for my Mum and also asked if the veg could be cooked until soft. The girl disappeared to the kitchen, returned to check our requirements and disappeared again. Next a young male came to the table to say that it wasn't possible to have the separate non onion gravy. We explained that this had all been discussed via a friend ahead of our visit. Still they were none the wiser. A mature woman then approached our table to ask what the problem was. Again we re-iterated our requests. She disappeared briefly and returned to say that the gravy was already made and that they couldn't make the separate non onion gravy but only offer gluten free. At this point my Mum, whose birthday we were supposed to be celebrating, just told them to forget it, cancel our order and we would go elsewhere. We paid for our drinks and starter that Dad had then departed.Is it really so difficult to mix some gravy powder? I bet they would have accommodated vegetarians/vegans but just because someone doesn't like onions or onion flavouring, they couldn't make gravy!!

We visited The White Swan today after googling local pubs that had play facilities for young children and we were extremely happy with our choice. The Sunday roast was fantastic and we all enjoyed it including my 4 year old daughter. The only small problem we had is that we were accidentally given the wrong dessert order, however this was quickly corrected and it simply meant we got to taste 2 things on the dessert menu and they were both amazing. The landlady was also outside helping to clear glasses, plates etc and was speaking to all the customers that were visiting, we felt was a real plus to our visit and made us feel very welcome. Fantastic pub and we will be back soon and thank you to all that work there we had a lovely afternoon.
