The best restaurants serving British food in Bassingham and Brant Broughton North Kesteven East Midlands

My husband brought me to the Black Swan for a special Valentines dinner and the food was so good that we booked to bring family members here for a birthday meal. Although our guests have all lived in the Newark area for many years they had never heard of The Black Swan, but they were all full of praise for the wonderful food and the welcoming staff.

We visited for the first time today for Sunday dinner and were not disappointed. We were met with a warm welcome as soon as we arrived and shown to our table where our drinks order was taken in a timely manner. The menu was varied and delicious: I had the pan-fried sea bass and my husband had the burger. Our kids had the children’s menu which was equally as good. We were served by Freya and Erin who were both polite and efficient. We will definitely be calling again 😊

Visited for lunch with my husband on bank holiday Monday and both chose steak and ale pie. Unfortunately neither of us could cut through the top crust of the pie and the meat was very dry and hard. Spoke to the waiting staff and he said he would speak to the chef but we were given no feedback from the kitchen. Very disappointing and would not recommend.

Menú de buen tamaño, no es grande pero una buena opción. El entrante de salmón ahumado y gambas era de excelente calidad. El pastel tenía una buena porción de carne tierna y deliciosa salsa. La carta de vinos también era pequeña, pero una buena opción y el vino tinto cayó muy bien. El servicio fue rápido y amable. Muy buena relación calidad-precio. Muy recomendable.

Had a carvery here a couple of days ago the food was absolutely shocking. The amount of food they cooked that was just left out was horrendous there was so much food and barley anyone in the restaurant why cook so much food for it just to be left out for so many hours for it just to go cold. It’s just ridiculously. The carvery from here was just disgusting it was un edible the meat was very over cooked , chewy and just out right cold. The food was just cold and basically inedible. Spent a while waiting for a table when booked for a certain time and there was barely anyone in the restaurant. Really unhappy with the quality and the service of the food from this establishment. Won’t be eating here again anytime soon it was horrible.

Tenía filete de filete que estaba tan bien hecho y ni siquiera cocinado en el medio también tan masticable guisantes eran como balas pero todo caliente La Sra. tenía barbacoa. El pollo asfixiado estaba tan quemado que apenas podías cortarlo y mucho menos comerlo. Absolutamente decepcionado, ya que hemos estado aquí tantas veces, pero desde que el hotel se hizo cargo de él ha bajado bien en calidad El servicio también era muy lento y parecían perdidos la mayor parte del tiempo preguntándose a su alrededor Nunca había visto este lugar tan vacío, pero después de conseguir la comida tenía sentido

Nice food, better than most pub grub we've experienced recently. Good service and pleasant staff. Definitely visit again.
