We called ahead to check this place was dog friendly before booking. Unfortunately we were seated in the back room which was undergoing renovations and should’ve been closed off - walls unfinished, wires hanging down. Within 2 minutes of us arriving, having not even sat down yet, we were told to get our 8 month old puppy off the seats (who was simply excited to see our friends). Nothing polite about it, no please, and being glared at by bar staff who were obviously talking about it. While we were waiting for our starters to be cleared, my partner had the puppy on his knee and a different member of staff came over and told us to keep the dog away from the table. Didn’t collect the plates or anything, just came over to say that, again whilst bar staff are looking over and talking. We were very much made to feel like an inconvenience and unwelcome from the second we stepped in. Food was good but wouldn’t go back. I’d question where this place is truly dog friendly.

I would have given 5 stars but on the night I was there it was pub quiz night and the volume was way too high in fact it made us feel uncomfortable and we couldn't talk to each other. This experience has not put me off going I will return one day

Had Sunday dinner and food was very good. Staff polite and helpful but had to wait over 20 minutes past booking time to be seated as was very busy. Special diatry requirements for 1 person was no problem - i.e. no fat gravy and veg cooked with nothing added. Will visit again.

Really really Lovely food - been a few times and probably the best pizza ive had outside of italy. Was met at the reception by a woman who oozed a bit of an attitude when we asked for a table without a reservation (all three of us picked up on it) but the rest of the waiting staff were all lovely on each visit.

Very popular local pub even on a Monday so I would recommend making a reservation. It was very busy during our visit and once seated we were asked quickly if we wanted to order drinks - there was no drinks menu available and when the server was asked with regard to what wine they had the response was do you want white or red. We asked what white wine and what alcohol free beer they had and they said 4 wine types so we chose a savignon blanc and a bottle of Heiniken Zero (no draight available) and there was no indication of the cost. This is something that needs to be addressed by the owners - they had menus for everything else on the table including an afternoon tea but no drinks menu which s unacceptable (there's nothing on the website either). The drinks were served very quickly and we were asked what food we wanted to order when we hardly had time to read the menu so we asked the server to return. The steak pie and salmon were ordered and we then had a half hour wait for the food to be served - I don't expect food to be served immediately as it is always a sign of something pre-prepared that has been sitting in the kitchen but half an hour was a little too long to wait. However, when it was served both meals were delicious and a very good portion - you could tell the pie was home made and the meat was really tender. We didn't try dessert as we were too full but others in the dining room were tucking into some nice looking puddings. The staff are certainly friendly but perhaps a little stretched as it was so busy. Will certainly return to try the Sunday Lunch but will be prepared for a wait and will ask for a drinks list which hopefully they will have.

Fabulous new decor!!!!!! The new owner did tell me what he had in mind for the White Swan when his family took it over and he's definitely achieved more than he set out in my opinion. (Ha fatto bene Signore! Auguri! Sperando di vederla al ristorante presto). Great place. My kids love running around the outdoor area, the pasta / pizza and feeding the koi fish outside! We love the food, coffee and relaxed atmosphere. The staff are fab. The decor is tasteful. We sometimes come for drinks, sometimes for meals. We've been for coffee and ice-cream one cold afternoon and it was very relaxing. Perfect to sit in the sun but the conservatory inside is lovely also. Definitely recommend!!!!!

First time eating here & we will 100% not be returning! *Booking was mixed up so we were seated in the wrong area for our birthday meal as requested. *over 1hr 10min for main course to arrive on scene. *Pizza was so paper thin & thats why it probably doesn't get cut before it’s served. (Not kidding like wet toilet roll on the plate). *No condiments served or offered with the food or any type of sauces offered with the steak & no steak knife to use (although a hacksaw would have been more appropriate to use & a snorkel for the amount of grease & fat swimming around the plate)! *specifically asked for no tomato's, no mushrooms or black pudding with the mixed grill then ended up with the lot on top of the meat!. If badly cooked & over priced food is your thing then look no further!

Chose to go here after viewing the menu, we both were looking forward to the lamb shanks. But on arriving the menu was not the same as it is on this site. Asked about the lamb shanks , reply was we don't have those on the menu. When we mentioned it they denied what we had seen. Could not check on the phone as there was no internet inside the pub. My wife had gammon, asked for no egg only pineapple. When served the plate was placed in front of her and told pineapple only at lunch time. Also the gammon was child portion size . Very disappointed, menu out of date, service poor.

If you’re looking for a nice place to celebrate a special occasion avoid this place at all costs. After having a booking of 15 people for a family birthday i have left shocked with the rude barman’s comments towards my 2 grandchildren asking me to get them out of peoples faces while there eating!!!!!! My 3 year old grandson pretended to shoot a diner who playfully played dead,,,, certainly not in peoples faces.This was whilst i was trying to sort out a very disorganised billing system taking at least 10 minutes as your not able to order on separate bills?????…. I think my two 3 year old grandsons were well behaved considering waiting at a counter when they’d already been dressed to leave. I have dined out countless times over the years with my children & now my grandchildren & have i never been so insulted & so upset at my experience at this restaurant. After waiting 15 minutes at the bar to be served i was approached by the waitress asking if i new what i wanted,,, i had just arrived & hadn't even looked at the menu!!!!! All in all a very disappointing experience & would never dine here again.

Visited at 4.30pm yesterday to have the two-course Christmas menu. Sadly the service was so slow that after an hour and a half, having had the first course and drinks, we had to leave as we were travelling into town. The server was apologetic and only charged us for one course, but it was disappointing not to have the full meal. That being said, the main course was plentiful and delicious.

Been here a couple times and it's usually okay. It's always been a bit hit and miss. As it struggles with consistency. I got the BBQ parmo, dirty oil used for the chips (not the first time I've raised this complaint) so they were greasy and black but raw in the middle. Coleslaw had a skin on the top and discoloured so I left it. Tonight is probably the last time I'll come back. It isn't worth the money - service is good but the food really lets it down.

drove 35 minutes after hearing great reviews, upon entering we were not greeted at all, once the table was ready we were shouted at to be seated to a table that was not set nor clean fully & we were not informed of items that were no longer available on the menu. food orders went in and we didnt wait long for our starters which were nice, no check to see if everything was ok. Server come to clear our plates and asked “was that your starter” then proceeded to drop the cutlery all over my partner with no apology. Mains come and again no complaints over the food but no check to see if everything was ok at any point. Server cleared our mains and asked if we would like a desert so we asked for a menu, server dumped the menu on the table, didnt make us aware of any specials at all. Once deserts were done i asked for the bill from one server, waited 10 minutes it did not come so asked another server for the bill, she brought it and dumped it on our table, nobody come back to ask how we would like to pay so i got up and paid at the bar before leaving, woman behind the bar was very rude, didnt ask once if our meal was ok or nothing was more interested in other things. Overall service has severely let this place down today, almost all servers walking round chewing gum and honestly looking very dull, uninterested and like they were slaves being forced to work. If thats the morale your staff have got god help the longevity of the place

The mince and dumplings was the worst I’ve had, sadly there was such a lack of flavour it might as well have been brown dish water with clumps of mince. severe lack of gravy also and the ‘leek’ dumplings were small dry hard bricks. Half the chips were decent other half needed longer. Partner really enjoyed his cheese steak sandwich and fries (even if it was a small portion) long wait for food and was told when food arrived it was going to take 5-10 minutes for a portion of peppercorn sauce. Place has little ventilation so like a Furness on hot days and staff are hard to catch and seem to be running round like headless chickens when it gets busy

Came for Sunday lunch twice. Food is nice but they are greedy people and ill explain why. They charge the higher end prices of a Sunday dinner £15-£17 which is fine if you got the right portion size. What they do is they put the tiniest amount of Gravy on your plate making you pay an extra £1.50. Then for three people they fetch you a little bowl of vegetables which is absolutely tiny for 3 people! 1 carrot each. Which you end up paying £2.50 for more. They make sure to give you the smallest amount of everything possible so you have to pay extra for different things... all the "extras" are on the menu. Nice food shockingly bad portion sizes. Will be eating elsewhere next time.

Came for Sunday lunch with the family. Table booked for 2.30 and got seated early. And that’s where the positivity ends unfortunately. Waited an age for our starters. Sadly the £9 Prawn Cocktail was terrible. Very few prawns beefed up with the whole root and stem of the lettuce. This was sent back. Then another wait for ages for the mains. Out they came, one of our party ordered the sirloin served pink. Well, when it came it was pink alright, in fact it was raw. Cold, lots of white fat and no evidence that it had even seen the oven. Awful. That was sent back. We got the bill, it was wrong. Still being charged for an elusive cauliflower cheese and the Sirloin. Got corrected, so asked if we could use Amex. The girl said no. However we had previously bought around of drinks in the bar and used Amex. We made a complaint which was in fairness handled ok. Overall not a pleasant experience. The staff need some customer service training it was just chaos. The dining room so loud like a work canteen. We won’t be back it’s a shame, we used to had a great time there before.

Booked a table for 10 for the family to celebrate my Mothers 80th birthday and we loved the occasion here. Booked up only a week in advance and we were positioned next to the window in a lovely light and airy room. Orders taken for drinks, starters and main course. The food was great from a very extensive menu, which meant everyone, even the vegetarian amongst us was happy and all served together which some places find hard to do when hosting larger parties. The staff had looked after the surprise cake that we had brought with us earlier and brought it out after our meal to a very emotional mother and grandma. Just wanted to say thank you to all the wonderful staff, who made it so special for us. You were exceptional and we fully appreciate it. I confess to forgetting to leave a tip, so will make amends very soon.

First visit today, and enjoyed a great vegetarian breakfast. Excellent service, too, and decent prices. Will definitely be coming back soon!

Wow one of the best Sunday lunches I’ve ever had! Staff were absolutely amazing too so friendly and helpful, even though they were so busy nothing was ever a bother! Came with a lady who had coeliac and throughly explained everything.

This place has came on leaps and bounds since I last went. Disappointing to see some bad reviews recently as I just don’t agree with it! I’ve been in so many times recently and the staff have been impeccable. Food is insane for a pub. Keep going team. You’re smashing it.

Great food and quick service. Probably the best pub in the area with a nice chilled out sexy vibe to the place. Also got a free shot of baby Guinness 🤪

Having visited the Swan for Sunday lunch i have nothing but praise. It was very busy when we arrived but it wasnt long before we were sat at our table. Staff were friendly and explained my gluten free options. Food was amazing and full of flavour. Will definitely be back!

Did not enjoy anything regarding our experience of the pub dark no atmosphere staff showed no interest waitress asked if wanted any pudding unaware it was a two course menu never checked if we ok pork lunch no sauces offered no stuffing veg bland 1 of us didn't get rosties as we only wanted small meals we were charged full price I would not recommend to anyone or price difference is not enough

I used to really rate this place but we’ve recently had a disappointing experience and unfortunately won’t be back. The place is very chaotic and the tables are packed in, you can barely move in your seat. The staff don’t smile or make eye contact, at all. Nobody greeted us for about 10 minutes when we first walked in, and we had to wait for a booked table. The Sunday roasts are good, although not as good as previously. Carrots were weird and hairy and the sirloin was very fatty. Great gravy and Yorkshire puds but the desserts are terrible.

Food was absolutely delicious we all loved our Sunday dinners and the service was great the only issue we had was the seats were extremely uncomfortable and the table was too low for some of us to sit comfortably but otherwise it was excellent

Came here for Sunday dinner at the weekend. The food was really nice and the service quick and friendly. The pub itself was extremely loud and there were lots of kids screaming to the point where we couldn't hear the other end of our table talk. Maybe we timed it badly. In summary, Sunday dinner lovely, noise annoying!

After visiting nearby garden centre we popped along to the White Swan at Dinnington for Sunday lunch . After being welcomed by very polite staff and seated we found the menu had a good selection of meats but also a varied menu if you didn’t want traditional Sunday lunch . The dessert menu also had a wide selection of delicious mouth watering treats . Can’t wait to return on Mothers Day .

Popped in for breakfast with Paulicarus. ( apparently need to have food to order a pint at 9.30 am, who knew!) Set inside a modern entertaiment complex. A miners benedict and a couple of bacon butties to start the day. Empty when we arrived but beaten to the bar by a stag party.

Had lunch here today lovely seating area just a shame we had to wait over half an hour we only ordered sandwiches but when came the chips were cold so the lovely lady that took our order got us some fresh chips which were hotter but honestly you need more staff especially when the warmer weather is here it's a popular place looking forward to seeing new menu wouldh have been nice to have more choice than just the patio menu.
