Three Swans Hotel Bistro Restaurant and Conservatory in Harborough - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A little disappointed with this visit. Told to sit at our table from the bar and not given any menus to review. After about 30 minutes of sitting at the table a young lad came from behind the bar to take our order, still no menus provided. However we did review the menu on the website prior arrival so had a good idea what we was going to eat but as it turns out the menu had recently changed so despite me ordering plaice I ended up with Belly Pork as the plaice is no longer available. During the stay we was very close to the bar area and could for the whole stay we had a bunch of men swearing which didn’t personally upset myself but my partner wasn’t impressed. When we ordered our food it came very quickly and it was beautiful I must say. The limited staff was checking people in taking drink requests at the bar and also running the restaurant which was the problem for certain. Service charge automatically taken off your bill but on this occasion I requested this to be removed as the service was actually shocking. Tables next to us were not cleared for over an hour which highlighted the shortage of staff.

Visited for lunch and sat outside as the sun was out. Had heard that the food was good so ordered two sandwiches which were £12 each. Expected great things for that price! The chicken and bacon (sandwich filler) was so full of mayo I had to scrape half of it away. More like a mayo sandwich. The sandwich only came with a small bit of salad. For £12 - Just bread, cubes of chicken and bacon and some lettuce. The Cajun chicken roll had 1 piece of lettuce and no sauce. Just two chicken pieces in a roll. It was so dry. No coleslaw, no crisps. Just some leaves and onion. Felt I should have said something and when I got home I was cross for not complaining but for £24 I expected so much more. Definitely won’t be returning and left feeling ripped off sadly. Expected a lot more.

A shame as we come here and sit out for a drink most summers but now a big screen in the garden blaring out football and even when match not on its left on. A bit of a shame for the regulars who want a quiet drink.

Thought service wasn't as good as it could have been. Very Very expensive for small portions nice place but Guys how can you justify the prices.

Very disappointed with afternoon tea here today. I do feel for for the price the quality of food was quite poor and we would have been better going to the local supermarket for a sandwich, cake and coffee at a third of the price. I had 3 very small sandwiches, two quite stodgy scones and a minuscule piece of Battenberg. Don’t think I will be returning.

Had a brilliant meal here in February, took some friends today and the food has taken a real dive. Apparently there’s a new menu well they can keep it. 3* because of the nice front of house staff.

Spent the night in this hotel and had dinner. A good menu choice and friendly staff. Our room overlooked the carpark, not a criticism but didn't open the curtains as there was a draft.

Great pub for a drink and some food. Pie of the day is well worth it. Meat was a little tough but very filling and the pie crust with gravy was brilliant.

Staff good building super , But food very lack luster and Bloody pricey!! Had the Burger chewie tasteless prefer a Big Mac!!! +10% added weather the service was good or not taking the Mick guys!!! Will not be back

We received a Three Swans newsletter through our letterbox. It included some money off vouchers so my partner and I decided to go there for brunch (2 for 1 offer). We were very impressed with the coachman's breakfast and would gladly have paid the full price for the food we received.

Lovely overnight stay, as always. Room was spacious and a lovely big bed. We have stayed many times before and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Great location too!

For the price , portions mean , average cooking , fly landed on my curry ? Nice place could improve a lot and could be less mean with the portions And could get a grip with the fly issue inside

A most pleasurable and interesting stay at a little piece of historic comfort. ! The slogan was “your comfort is our passion” A little dubious at first I quickly realised this is indeed the managements quest. Beautifully clean and well appointed rooms. Spaciously laid out well with all comforts. Only regret was I didn’t make it a two night stay! Just one small thing to note: The town church bells ring every quarter through the night! A big thank you to all.

Awful! Arrived … had to clean our own table ! The lager was flat and £6 a pint ! Unfriendly bar staff … verging upon rude . Ordered burgers - was charged £2 service without knowing !!! A service charge to clean our own table and go to the bar to order food ! What am I paying for.? The staff huff and puff throughout and have a very brusque manner. The burger was horrendous.- McDonalds serves better ! The burger was burned and shrivelled - there was no salad garish. Very basic. A very disappointing experience… won’t be going again and would definitely not recommend.

We hadn't been here for almost 5 years but as we were visiting the town we popped in for lunch with our dog on a busy Saturday. The tables were all busy and the staff were rushed off their feet but coped well and quickly took our order at the bar. We were told that all food is cooked to order so we expected it to take some time. Thankfully this wasn't the case and it arrived well presented within 15 minutes. The Prawns in Marie- rose sandwich I had and the tuna my partner had were both lovely, served in fresh bread and accompanied with some French fries and salad. Our friends dine here regularly and recommended it to us so our experience would seem to be the norm and an improvement on our visit in 2018.

The meals and service are great - but dogs are only allowed in the bar area (which is fine) BUT you can’t book a table - not even the table for 12 - so we had to arrive 3/4 hour early to get this table for our party of 12 plus 4 dogs!

Every Thursday my wife and I, during our weekly shopping trip into Harborough, go for a coffee and cake. This Thursday we decided to visit the Three Swans cafe. The Moche (£3.60) was not nice and the fruit scone was stale with a hard cardboard like bottom. Best value place to grab a coffee and bite to eat in Market Harborough? Waitrose cafe.

We ate there on 16th December. but in the restaurant there was no atmosphere at all. None of the three courses we had were at all special. The vegetables were either rock hard, especially the sprouts (with soggy outsides) these could not possibly have been fresh. For the price paid this is definitely not acceptable.

A fabulous full English breakfast at The Three Swans Comfortable surroundings, polite staff and a good service … thank you so much guys! Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Staff were bored, didn't want to be there. Facilities were minimal. The price per head was horrendous. Not going to support this place any more.

We were here for a wedding reception and did not stay overnight. The food was very good. Main function room was also very good and nicely set up for the reception. Staff were generally efficient and unobtrusive, but could have been a bit better organised at times. Bar seemed well stocked. I did not organise the function' so can not comment on value etc.

Came for dinner the other day and had a lovely meal. Nice location in the centre of toen with a lovely courtyard. I will visit again

Hotel was lovely. All staff super friendly and super helpful. Room was clean and well ventilated. Overall a great place to stay with a stunning courtyard to enjoy a beer

Really lovely cosy hotel, in a great and central location. Stayed here with a number of colleagues last night on a conference, b&b with dinner deal. Food is really good and service also. Rooms are very nice, especially the bathroom. Market Harborough is really nice and the hotel is right on the High St. I had a room at the back (and ear plugs) so wasn't bothered by the church bells ringing every 15 mins but that would probably be an issue for any light sleepers facing the front.

We were happy that the restaurant is dog friendly and we were warmly welcomed by Jamie who is new to the Three Swans team. She was friendly, attentive and intuitive to our needs and a credit to the establishment. The food was also delicious.

Although the website states free parking, it's actually a pay and display unless you are staying there. We visited on a Sunday so had we known, would have parked elsewhere for nothing; it costs £1 an hour so we paid for 2 hours. We had...

Deceptively big and nice.Our room was a good size, great power shower and comfy bed. Outside pizzeria was very pleasant to sit and have a nice drink.We only nibbled whilst have a drink but was very tasty and the pizza's going out looked great !Big bonus was at breakfast I asked for Egg and soldiers ( not on menu) and the server checked with kitchen and boom dippy egg! Its the simple things that make a huge difference. Would defo return.

I ate lunch here about a year ago, and so decided to come again as we were in Market Harborough. We hadn't booked, but we were given an outside table immediately and were shown how to order using the app, or if we preferred, someone...

Excellent tasty pepperoni pizza, eaten in the courtyard, to be highly recommended. Very good service

Ate here last week with family. Staff were very friendly and the food delicious. Portions were large and food relatively quick. Cozy and nice atmosphere. Would highly recommend this place.

Went for dinner on the Eat out to help out offerGreat service and food Recommend the ham eggs and chips and the malteaser sundae!

We'd had reservations at another resturant last night (19/08/2020) and didn't like the atmosphere at all so naívely thought to leave and find somewhere else; completely forgetting that the "eat out to help out" scheme had everywhere fully booked. The Three Swans was one of the last places we were going to try and we were delighted to have the General Manager (forgive me as I've forgotten the name) tell us that we could be seated! The service from that point was incredibly personable and friendly. The staff were similarly so and attentive and the food was incredible. Not to mention the restaurant space itself is gorgeous and comfortable with a lovely atmosphere! Granted we were likely riding the high of having our night "saved" but I'm very greateful that despite having been busy themselves they not only accommodated us but did so in such a welcoming way. Thank you!

I have never experienced such rudeness from staff in any establishment I have ever visited(and I am over 60 years old).You would think considering the current climate for the hospitality industry they would welcome customers and not be rude just because they are relatively busy due to the "eat out to help out" scheme and the very good weather.I was grunted at by the pizza chef when I enquired if they were still serving food and spoken down to by the seating host because I dared to ask if they had a table.Establishments like this have taken government money ie taxpayer money yet treat people as though they are doing us a favour.I know the three swans well and know their food is both average quality and overpriced so needless to say I did not stay.There are plenty of other better, cheaper and more welcoming establishments in Market Harborough so why use this one ?

We were mightily impressed with the Three Swans when we popped in for lunch last Saturday. The service and food were great in a nice setting in their courtyard. However, what particularly impressed was the way in which they had organised themselves for social distancing.Recommend the ham and chips!Well done!

Warmly greeted by a nice man in reception who advised us we’d been upgraded which was lovely.The room, although large, was very tired to say the least. However, as it was in a building round the back it was very quiet (if you don’t count church bells!).We ate at a fantastic restaurant in the evening and had breakfast round the corner at Mercado Lounge so cant comment on the food. Service from the bar was good though.Very pleasant stay and we will return.

Second time we’ve stayed here, and again we weren’t disappointed. This time we travelled with our Labrador and couldn’t fault the service. The lovely duty manager Sanj(?) was perfect, waived the charge for the dog and sorted us a table for breakfast. As our stay was during the lockdown easing , all precautions were in place all over the hotel, sanitiser readily available and non touch ordering in the bar using the app. They are sanitising champions, we felt very safe as all the staff were using appropriate PPE in each area. We will definitely stay here again without doubt.

Lovely traditional hotel. Receptionist welcoming and helpful. Good deal for one overnight stay with good choice of breakfast. Room and bathroom spotlessly clean. Decided to eat in the hotel dining room and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The waitress was lovely and had a good sense of humour.

Initially, the hotel was good value and had a nice breakfast, but the bar was a let down. £5-6 for a pint of beer and £4.50 for very small portion of chips ( see picture- we counted 13 chips) Additionally it was £6 for a very small portion of kids pasta and far too much sauce. Overall, I would not recommend the bar/restaurant but the hotel was OK.

Excellent dining experience with friends, we chose to have the carvery, it was delicious, the meats were cooked perfectly, as were the veg, the young chef was so enthusiastic about his product, and very good at his job. We will definately be going back, with friends, very soon.

Had lunch while wandering through town, having been on training here and sampling their food as a result of that was keen to try their menu. Good sized portions, home cooked food and home cooked chips to die for. Would deffinately recommend and come again.

Firstly the wèddong reception was great fun and the room was a good size.We stayed in a superior room, here are my points in order1. Key card didn't work initially as I had held it next to my phone and that wipes it...be helpful if they told you this.2. Soaking wet towel left in bath3. Toilet wouldn't flush properly as cistern only half filled.4. Bathroom walls are filthy there is a white residue on the tiles and I doubt it has been cleaned for years5. Extremely dusty room...general standard of cleanliness is poor.6. Bedside lamp didn't work ( bulb) swopped for another extremely dusty one.7. The church bells do go off with regularity which may annoy.8. Food in bar was ok9. Breakfast was ok...scrambled eggs had a strange taste...bacon was boiled rather than grilled but edible.10. All tables had a sticky feel...needs a damn good clean. In conclusion the room prices for this hotel are not good value and way above what they should be for this quality. Appears to me that the owners aren't interested in this business or they are totally unaware of its issues.

My partner and I visited on a Monday lunchtime. The restaurant was busier than I had expected it to be. I chose fish and chips while my partner opted for liver and bacon. I went for the coffee and cake option rather than dessert and my other half had the salted caramel sundae. A glass of Pinot grigio and a pint of Stella completed a very pleasing lunch.

Stayed here for 1 night on way to canoeing experience. Receptionist very helpful, room very comfortable and breakfast excellent. the breakfast staff were very friendly and helpful too. The downside was that there was only one real ale on the front bar and although the bar tender was helpful, my partner, a real ale fan said it was very poor and so was disappointed as this was our final drink for the evening. He felt that it was not kept well and he knows his business. Otherwise the hotel was excellent.

Treated by a friend to The Three Swans Countryman Savoury Afternoon Tea, which I very much enjoyed.Consisting of a traditional 3 tiered plate stand set with delicious sandwiches, cheese scones, sausage rolls, slices of ham and scotch eggs, it was a tasty savoury collection of some of my favourite things.The service was lovely, and nothing was too much trouble. I would say that my tastes are quite simple and traditional in this area, and anyone looking for something more adventurous might find this selection too safe, but I loved it.

Good choice on the menu. Food arrived hot, nicely presented. Was very tasty, gravy was lovely. Scottish lady behind the bar was friendly and bubbly. Have eaten here on many occasions and will continue too.

Visited at lunch time. Efficient, friendly service. Good selection of lunches. Well stocked bar. Food arrived hot and well presented. Would visit again.

Sandwiches and chips in the sun drenched courtyard - very generous fillings and deliciously made.

Popped in as passing as we had stopped here a couple of years back. Nice chill out drinks served by pleasant staff. Love it

Stopped for lunch while on a canal holiday. Leading from the high street it looks like a pub but if you walk through there is a lovely restaurant at the back. Staff very friendly and helpful. I had the pie of the day and it was gorgeous, I asked for no potatoes so they have me plenty of vegetables instead. The pie was really lovely and beautiful fresh mixed vegetables. My friends had pizza which was a bit pale but it was okay, I think they need to turn their pizza oven up a bit.

Had a delicious evening meal of onion soup, pork belly and a raspberry desert. All washed down with a couple of pints of Inclined Plane beer... Lovely

Situated on the main street, with parking out the back, this is a hotel but also open for food and drink to the public. The bar area is scrubbed wood flooring and tables, but still cosy, this is on the front of the building and where we chose to sit. We visited on a late Saturday morning/lunchtime..

We stayed here and the staff were extremely polite and welcoming. The room was lovely. The bed was the comfiest I’ve slept on in a hotel.

Table not clean, staff did not want to be there and food very average when it finally came. Plenty of competition around, suggest you try it!

This was a pre wedding get together with family & friend. The service was good. Food presentation was excellent. We had a sharing starter of whitebait, humous & flat bread & chorizo & chicken skewers which was plenty for 5 people. My husband ordered fish & chips for his main; the fish was enormous! The fillet of sea bass, pork fillet & chicken supreme meals were very tasty too. I chose a children’s menu of chicken gougons as the main meal would have been too much. The others made room for bread & butter pudding which disappeared very quickly. Would recommend staying here too, apparently the breakfasts are great too.

We pop here for a drink all the time & now as we are hopefully moving towards the warmer weather it was lovely to be able to sit outside - or it should have been! You need to renew all of the ‘No Smoking’ stickers on the tables & it would also be a good idea to have some sort of sign up. It’s ok for regulars as they know where the smoking areas are but others don’t. You can’t blame the public when a manager goes across to their table at least twice & didn’t say a word!! No body wants to have smoke blown across them while they are eating food! Their table, and many others no longer have the no smoking stickers on them - please, please renew these before the summer Thank you

I've had a lovely lunch here with friends on a weekday in February. Great choice of sandwiches, warm atmosphere, lovely surroundings. Ideal if you are not in a hurry, as they will take their time to serve you, but the wait is worth! Our sandwiches were made from scratch and from fresh ingredients. I will definitely come again when I'm in the area!

We were looking for a Sunday lunch in Harborough and decided to go to The Three Swans. A few minutes after standing by the restaurant reception area we were shown to a table. Time then drifted by. After about six or seven minutes a young lady from behind the coffee/cake counter asked if we were being served. We asked for a menu and ordered two drinks before ordering a meal. About 10 minutes later my sparkling mineral water arrived disguised as an Americano coffee.

Wouldn't know what it's like, even when booking a room direct with the hotel, no advice was given on a need to pre book a table for dinner. Informed on check in the restaurant is fully booked

Walked in off the street for a brief lunch on a Saturday. The menu sounded reasonable enough, however, I should have been concerned when I was advised they “don’t sell soft drinks with sugar because of the sugar tax!” I am unable to have any kind of sweetener, so this instantly limited my options to virtually nothing! We ordered some sharing plates and a soup. The soup was flavourless and watery, the sharing plates were all dry, bland and we found them inedible. Unfortunately, there were so little staff that we were unable to provide feedback; another worrying sign. With so many lovely places to eat in Market Harborough, we were beyond disappointed with The Three Swans and will not return.

Lovely restaurant area. Weren't given much time to look at the menu before being asked for the order. Food is good and well presented.

As a party of four we dropped in for Sunday lunch. We were given the option of dining in the restaurant area but chose the more informal cosy looking bar. The menu is fairly small but has a good choice and range of dishes. The Scottish lady who took our order was very nice and bubbly checking on us throughout our meal which unfortunately wasn't mirrored by all the serving staff as some appeared to wish they were elsewhere. Our mains consisted of Roast Beef and Fish and Chips which arrived quite quickly but was all freshly prepared and plentiful. We managed to fit in a sticky toffee pudding each to round off the meal which we all agreed was of a reasonable standard, and cost, which worked out at £40 per head including a bottle of wine.

Recently moved to the area was looking somewhere for an evening to relax with the family.

We visited the Three Swans for a snack lunch whilst in Market Harborough. The bistro bar cafe dinning area on the ground floor is nicely decorated and comfortable, the staff were pleasant however the service was slow. We ordered the Christmas burger and the Fish bap, both came with fries. The burger was over cooked and dry and for £14 was not value for money. The fish bap consisted of 3 fillets of battered fish in a bread bap and was a good portion though the accompanying rocket salad was wilted.

We stayed at the Three Swans and decided to take up the offer for guests for the two course meal. Booked a table with the reception desk and asked if we need to let the restaurant know about the offer. No we were told. However we did ask again when we were seated and was told it has been noted. Had a bit of a problem with the wine not being the one ordered to start with but rectified. Starters were good and the mains were ok although one steak was not rested enough and served on the largest pile of chunky chips I have seen.

We had booked afternoon tea for four people at 4.30 p.m., but did not arrive until just after 5.00 p.m. and had not provided notice as we should have done. On arrival we were told our tea had been cleared away and that they had stopped serving afternoon tea at 5.00 p.m. - but crucially, that they could easily re-assemble it. We were shown to a good table immediately to wait - and were then asked which teas/drinks we would like. Within 5 mins two enormous cake stands arrived filled with a range of excellent sandwiches, delicious scones, pastries and jams/fresh cream. Waiters and managers asked us more than once during our sojourn whether we had everything we wanted. Our experience could not have been better in any way. My only criticism is that whilst it is marvellous to see an historic inn restored as a successful business, the refurbishment could have been more sympathetic to the building itself. Although a very pleasant environment, the room we sat in could just as easily have been the interior of one of the smarter 'Prezzo' - there was little to suggest an eighteenth century coaching inn. The company that owns the building has successfully re-vitalised a number of similar inn properties, so one must assume they know what they are doing. We are definite supporters and hope to visit all their properties at some time.

We were under the impression that there was a restaurant and a separate coffee bar, but they were the same! Unfortunately on a Sunday night we had chosen the b& b and dinner option. A mistake as the dinner selection was a basic pub option with chips with everything not what we expect for what we paid we should have stayed in the Travelodge and eaten in town. We have had far better experiences in other hotels and much better food for the same price. The other people in the bar area two families and children running riot all over the place plus the foul language from the adults was not good. Your management staff seem to be scared to do anything about it asking us are they travellers, sorry we are your customers! My partner had stayed here many years ago and was very disappointed with the overall standard, I think for what we got for our money it was extremely poor value.

We stopped off for a quick bite and chose a sort of tapas type lunch. The hummus was gorgeous..definately home made. There were also pizzas being freshly made outside. They looked superb but we were a bit too full to order pizza on this occasion. We certainly will though. The outside space is a sun trap and we had a lovely, relaxed time. Definately worth a visit

Booked for a family evening meal for 6 of us the service was fantastic and the food was amazing I would highly recommend the rump lamp delicious

Over the years we have eaten many, many times at the Three Swans in all its incarnations. Today did not disappoint - a tasty and inexpensive lunch served with friendly professionalism. The conservatory area is a wonderful spot to eat - comfortable, bright and clean.

Our son was on a school trip so we decided to have a 'date'"night. We decided on the Three Swans. It was apparently unusually busy for a Thursday night but that did not impact on our evening. We both chose the beef ribs for our main courses which were delicious. I had Eton mess for dessert whilst my partner chose a chocolate sundae. We enjoyed our evening. I must mention the friendly service and the nice washrooms too.

We visited the Three Swans for my birthday lunch on a Sunday, I particularly wanted to try the pizza, it was delicious and great to watch it being made from fresh out in the courtyard in the huge pizza oven. All of our party enjoyed their meals including the children! The staff were friendly and attentive, we had a bright airy spot in the restaurant and the General manager could not have been more friendly or helpful, he really went the extra mile. We will be back! thank you

Eight of us ate at the hotel on Sunday lunchtime. Despite it being Sunday, and the roasts looking very tasty, we all chose pizza. Pizza's were light and delicious. I would recommend the crumble. Staff were friendly and on hand. We will be back.

We were looking for somewhere at the last moment for Sunday lunch and getting quite late. We were recommended this place. And we are happy to further that recommendation. It's not high class but the food appears to be all freshly and well cooked and was tastier than we were expecting! The apple and summer berry crumble was superb - sharp but too much so, crumble was crispy and light. It's not a pretentious place and the décor a little mixed but not displeasing. If you're stuck in the town and you're hungry, you can't go too far wrong

Breakfast here is awful. Cheap and nasty meat, cheap bread. Overpriced. You would be best to go elsewhere for breakfast. We won't be back.

Went there for lunch. Great, varied menu choice. Prompt, friendly service. Have been here for evening meals as well. Food cooked to a high standard and very tasty. Great value for money. Vegetarian choices both with lunchtine and evening meals. Comfortable seating. Outdoor seating area and parking at rear of hotel.

Really like this place. I have been in for a drink many times, I have stayed there and eaten there. Because it’s a hotel and there are business guest in the bar in the week, it’s a comfortable place to go in on your own, as most people are. The prices are higher than the adjacent places which keeps the riff raff out. It also has a lovely outside patio area which is a great sun trap.

Came here for evening food and drinks and to sit out in the beautiful courtyard. What seemed to start off perfect was ruined due to the clientele allowed to drink in there, there was a crowd of 8 lads absolutely beyond drunk and still being served. They were loud and annoying then one proceeded to fall asleep and then had to be lifted by friends to get up, he then proceeded to throw up in the courtyard. Not something you really need to see whilst eating. Was disappointed that staff did not move them on before it got to this

Lovely place to sit outside in the sun, however we ordered our food and it came out staggered. The pizzas came first and were still slightly doughy around what should have been the crust. It then took a further 30 minutes (until my husband enquired and they checked) for the fish sandwiches to arrive - which were delicious.

Food was splendid. The staff were very friendly although the only fault would be it look them a long time to get drinks. However there was a large good of ya and so this was to be expected. The interior was lovely, very classy and modern.

visited here before but only for a drink. Visited here bank holiday for lunch, We sat in the courtyard at a table in the sun, there was a covered area to eat outside as well. My husband ordered a pizza which was cooked before your eyes in the courtyard, he said it was one of the best pizzas ever! I ordered the sea bass with crispy kale, butternut squash and pots, absolutely delicious. the service was great and friendly staff. although when we asked for the bill, they had only charged us for our 2 drinks each! but we were honest enough to point this out to the very grateful manager and paid for our food as well. Very impressed and will return

We stayed at the Three Swans the night before our two weeks on the canal boats. It's right in the center of town. The hotel staff are friendly and accommodating. We had to wait quite awhile for our room but made the best of it by exploring the town. The rooms were smaller than I remember but we'll appointed and the beds were comfortable. Be advised that there are no elevators, however, staff are available to assist with getting luggage upstairs. Enjoyed breakfast the following a.m. - both European and American selections. I'd come back again.

We stayed at the hotel and booked a table to eat in the conservatory. Nice and helpful staff, food was nice and service was quick. Reasonable wine list, would use again.

Visited here yesterday afternoon (21/4/18) so impressed with this place.

We have been to the three swans a few times as we live nearby however last Saturday night the food let them down the starter of halloumi and watermelon was delicious however I ordered the teriyaki cod for main course and my other half ordered the steak which was delicious and cooked to perfection however my cod was very bland there was little sauce over the noodles and vegetables, it tasted very salty, I assume someone had just drizzled the dish with soy sauce instead of teriyaki. We complained to the waitress who told us she would inform the chef, I couldn’t eat any of the dish but was not offered anything to replace it, the waitress was very polite and attentive throughout the rest of the service and did take my main course off the bill at the end of the meal. The food choice definitely needs updating at the three swans, however the wine was very pleasant and the staff are very attentive

Such a shame. This Hotel, which also has restaurants, bars and an outside seating area is ideally placed in the centre of vibrant Market Harborough. It has a lovely atmosphere and a great location. So why is it so bad ?

We like to spend the odd afternoon with friends or family passing time over a bottle of wine and a meal in the conservatory. A pleasant place to chill out and the staff in the main are usually very attentative. (Not always though)! However, for some time now we have notice that the quality of food being presented is seriously in decline. In some establishments the food may vary according to the chef in situ on the day, but the Three Swans are consistent but not in a good way. Come on Three Swans. In days gone buy you offered a high quality menu and even silver service. To lower your aims to a "bistro/cafe environment does not mean you have to lower food standards. Change the menu and produce better food please.

I didn't eat and drink in the hotel so can't comment on the service there but the room was nice and comfortable. Breakfast had an excellent selection buffet style and check in was no hassle. All the staff I met were great. Would stay again.

so i have just returned home from visiting this place with my wife, both of us with an empty stomach....
