The best restaurants in Norton and Whittington Wychavon West Midlands

Perfect in every way; very pleasant and helpful staff; table service; gorgeous freshly prepared food, all in clean and comfortable surroundings. The jacket potatoes could not have been cooked better or presented. The accompanying salad was fresh and very tasty. It was a great pleasure not to have to queue up and be behind someone ordering 5 frothy coffees! Jam roly poly dessert finished the meal off to perfection.

Have used The Swan a couple of times before. Its a shame that its deserved success may lead to grumbles. The car park was packed at 13.00, I had the last space......against a hedge. The road has restricted parking and becomes a jungle close to when a local school closes for the day with parents picking up little Johnny and Mary in their SUV's. But I'm a repeat cust, albeit intermittent, so accept the parking issue. The Swan just can't provide more spaces. I was welcomed by a lovely assistant who told me where my table was and handed menu's. Unfortunately my table for 2 didn't exist so my guest and I split a table of 4 and sat down. We were quickly followed by another assistant who apologised that she hadn't prepared the Conservatory seating area properly. Hey-ho. We waited to order drinks.......and food. Not much happening there so I went to the bar where it became obvious you ordered at the bar. If only I'd been told from the outset. Food didn't take long. Generous, well presented and very well cooked.......why I came here in the first place. I went to the bar after my mains to order a dessert. A quarter of an hour later I asked again 'cos it was obvious I'd been forgotten. Fulsome apologies and the dessert was wiped from the bill. Generous again. Overall the price was fair, although I was asked to confirm a service charge of a few pounds. Well, I'd been excused the £8 dessert price so why not agree to the service charge. Thing is, apart from having meals brought to the table there was no other service provided to me and can only assume a day is coming when you simply buy a pint at the bar and the assistant asks you to pay, say 50p, for having been drawn that pint in the first place. Bit cynical of me but so is the pressure option of paying a tip when its already been added to the bill. The Swan offers great food and value for money but there's lots of little fluffy bits around the edges that results in me just being that intermittent customer.

Service was slow. The food (roast beef sandwich, with fries & salad) was poor and covered with what tasted like cream, not Djorn mustard. I told the waitress that the food was not great, and she just shrugged her shoulders and smiled. The coffe was luke warm, only average and expensive. My partner had the filter coffee which she said was awful. The food and service is not as good as it was several years ago, what a shame.

Oh, & christmas menu cheap & again lots of choice. See you again soon . Disable friendly & they look after you, am disabled , they always make sure am safe & will help me . Thank you James & Wendy.
