we are regular visitors and always welcomed in a very friendly manner and always feel welcome, however busy the cafe is. there is always a good selection of food and drink available and is always served at a high quality from the friendly staff. Would recommend calling in if you are in the area

Well worth a visit lovely home made cakes fabulous setting everyone really friendly. Plenty of plants shrubs etc. including some very unusual different options.

Highly recommend if you Swadlincote town centre and amazing value for money and staff very friendly and supporting especially if your a fussy eater Thank you xxxx

The Swan is a real gem it’s not a pub that serves pub food it serves food of the highest quality there is nothing on the menu that you wouldn’t want to eat The service is impeccable Olly has created a superb venue in a small village location that would be at home in a city

we were here on their opening night with a big table of 12. We had such an amazng time and the food was outstanding. well done and good luck

Ordered a hot sausage cob with apple sauce and stuffing. Got a dry cob with not even any butter in it a cold sausage and no stuffing or apple sauce! It says on the deal that it comes with both! Disappointing.

Had my dads wake here, everything was fantastic. The staff went above and beyond, smooth process from start to finish. Very clean premises, food put on was fantastic, even catering to different allergies, and making sure certain drinks where in stock. Cant recommend enough, a real gem of a english pub.

Unfortunately our 1st visit to The Blacklion was very disappointing after being recommended to us. Very disorganised waited over an hour for our meal to arrive. Both ordered Chicken in Blue cheese and blackpepper sauce. The sauce was so thick it stopped in the jug when trying to pour it out. We did say to a very nice waitress who reported our opinion to the chef. We were told the sauce was made during the afternoon and admitted it was too thick. We felt it should not have been served like this. We paid our bill and left. Will not be returning.

The guy who delivered was so nice!

I cannot emphasise enough the quality of the food and the service at The Angel. My husband and I visited Ilfracombe for our 1 year anniversary and a few weeks before, I caught wind of this place and was lucky enough to get a table for 2 on a Saturday evening. My husband is vegetarian and I am a picky pescatarian and there was plenty on the menu for both of us. The food was really delicious, home cooked but prepared and served with professional style. We absolutely loved the aesthetic of the restaurant, it's intimate and beautifully put together. It was the best table service I believe I've ever had and we even had a chat with Carol the owner/chef about Sheffield, which she knew well. Whilst I understand they are now booked up until Christmas, if you ever get the chance to go, we would highly recommend it. What. A. Find.

Really disappointed. Heard good things about roast dinners on Sundays but unfortunately we went today and did not have a good experience. Very expensive and not a lot of food so not good value for money. Waited a long time for drinks. They brought the food out and then took it back as it was for the wrong table. We Waited an hour between starter and main. When it finally came roast potatoes did not seem fresh, chicken seemed as though it was boiled rather than roasted not much flavour either, beef was stringy, burnt Yorkshire pudding, half a carrot, not enough veg for the table, cauliflower cheese was not very nice I could go on. Puddings were better but still not great. We spent over £35 per person and do not think it was worth it. When paying we said we weren’t happy and the server just apologised and said have a nice day. Service was not good at all. Will not be returning.

The landlord always wears a vest but he’s very short

Food really nice and flavourful and chicken not dry like a lot of places, really enjoyed it, will be ordering again

The Cow was very busy, it being a bank holiday Sunday, nevertheless, the service was still very friendly and prompt. We enjoyed the fish of the day (sea bass) and the excellent sticky toffee pudding

Delicious lunch, served weds to sun
